Back in 2020, most budget smartphones had 60Hz or 90Hz LCD displays but now that has changed as we have seen 120Hz AMOLED display smartphones under Rs 20,000, even some of the budget smartphone has 108MP camera sensors.
So let’s see, some of the best 120Hz mobile phones under Rs 20,000 in India, also, if you’re a gamer then it’s better to buy a higher refresh rate smartphone because that will make your gaming experience better than ever.
Also, I won’t be adding, every single smartphone that has a 120Hz refresh rate because that doesn’t make any sense, so I have selected the top best ones, so choose the one you like.
POCO X4 Pro 5G
Specifications | 6.67-inches FHD+ AMOLED Display 120Hz Refresh Rate Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) MIUI 13 – Android 11 64MP+8MP+2MP Rear Cameras 16MP Front Cameras 5000mAh battery (67W) |

Reasons to Avoid | Decent Cameras Night Photography needs improvement Videos come out Shaky Plastic Frame Hybrid Slot |
This is what Redmi Note 11 Pro suppose to be but they launched under the POCO brand. The POCO X4 Pro 5 has almost everything from the great display, solid battery life, good build, superfast charging, and even a powerful processor but it doesn’t have the cameras good cameras.

Now it’s not like the cameras are bad but compared to some other phones like RealMe 9 Pro 5G, POCO needs to work on cameras.
Still, the phone has better specs compared to RealMe 9 Pro 5G expect good cameras.
I mean, the only phone that comes with a 120hz AMOLED display with 5G support.
If your budget is Rs 20,0000 and if you want the overall best smartphone then don’t look for anything else, you can consider the POCO X4 Pro 5G over Redmi Note 10 Pro & RealMe 9 Pro 5G.
RealMe 9 Pro 5G
Specifications | 6.60-inches FHD+ LCD Display 120Hz Refresh Rate Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) RealMe UI 2.0– Android 11 64MP+8MP+2MP Rear Cameras 16MP Front Cameras 5000mAh battery (33W) |
Reasons to Buy | 120Hz Refresh Rate 13 5G Bands Good Cameras Snapdragon 695 Processor Solid Battery Life Wide Vine L1 Support Carrier Aggregation |
Reasons to Avoid | Videos come out Shaky Pre-installed bloatware Low Display Brightness No Dual Speakers LCD Display Only 33W Charging Speed Plastic Body Hybrid Slot |
The phone does have good cameras but they have added an LCD display, plastic build, and single speakers which is not a good thing to have in 2022’s budget smartphone.
While the Snapdragon 695 SoC is powerful enough to handle almost every single task without any problems.
Overall, if you want better cameras and you can compromise the speakers, display, and charging speed then RealMe 9 Pro 5G is a good option otherwise, POCO X4 Pro 5G is the way to go.
Redmi Note 11 Pro
Display Size | 6.67-inches FHD+ AMOLED IP53, dust and splash protection DCI-P3 wide color gamut 1200 nits peak brightness HDR10 Support 395 PPI density |
Processor | Mediatek Helio G96 (12 nm) |
OS | Android 11 – MIUI 13 |
Cameras (Rear) | 108MP Primary Sensor 8MP Ultra-Wide 2MP Macro 2MP Depth 16MP Front |
Ram & Storage | 6GB Ram + 128GB Storage 8GB Ram + 128GB Storage LPDDR4x Ram UFS 2.2 Storage |
Battery | 5,000 mAh battery 67W Charging Speed |
Yet, Redmi didn’t add 5G support in 2022 and also, this feels like a downgrade from Redmi Note 10 Pro.
For those who love AMOLED like me, the Redmi Note 11 Pro has a 6.67-inches 120Hz AMOLED display with 1200 nits of pick brightness.
The display is great, there is no doubt about it while it also has a 5,000 mAh battery with superfast 67W fast charging support.

It’s powered by MediaTek Helio G96 which is a good processor but at an 18k price tag, this is not the best processor.
Overall, if you really want a 120Hz AMOLED display and you don’t care about 5G and you’re willing to pay an extra 2k then you can consider the Redmi Note 11 Pro otherwise, still, Redmi Note 10 Pro is the best 4G phone available under 20k in India.
Conclusion: Best 120Hz Phone Under Rs 20,000
Redmi Note 10 Pro is still, a good option but it’s a 4G smartphone, and now in 2022, it’s better to get 5G smartphone. So if your budget is Rs 20,000 and if you wanted a smartphone that has a 120hz refresh rate then you should consider the POCO X4 Pro 5G.
Other than the 120Hz refresh rate, the phone has all the best features except good cameras.
Winner: POCO X4 Pro 5G
