If you’re looking for the best 5G Gaming smartphone under Rs 20,000 then there is no better option than RealMe 9 5G Speed Edition.
The Snapdragon 778G is a powerful processor and it can handle almost all mobile games without any problem, so no issue with performance. Keep in mind, that this is not a powerful chipset for gaming but for the price of Rs 19999, it’s the best you can get.
Now, you can also consider the POCO X3 Pro but this device is having a motherboard issue, so I would recommend you skip this device unless and until you like an adventure.
Coming to RealMe 9 5G SE, like every single gaming smartphone, this phone also doesn’t have great cameras, also there is no stereo speaker and the back and frame are made out of plastic.
Overall, for the price of Rs 19,999, this is a good option to consider for gaming only.
IQOO Z6 5G
Display | 6.58-inches FHD+ LCD 460 nits Pick Brightness 401ppi pixel density Touch sampling rate: 240Hz |

Cameras (Front) | 16MP [email protected] |
Battery Size | 5,000 mAh 18W Wired Fast Charging |
If you don’t want to spend more than Rs 15000 and if your end goal is to just play games then this is the cheapest Snapdragon 695 smartphone available and it’s good too. By the way, you will have to compromise in the camera department to get powerful performance.
The battery will also last for a day but the phone only supports 18W charging. It also has a 120Hz refresh rate which helps a lot while using smartphones in day-to-day life and even while gaming too.
In short, if your end goal is gaming and you can compromise in cameras then, IQOO Z6 5G is a better option.
Now, if you want the same performance as IQOO Z6 5G but you want a better camera then do consider the RealMe 9 Pro 5G (review) which is available at Rs 17,999.
POCO X3 Pro
Display | 6.67 inches 120Hz FHD+ LCD |
Processor | Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 SoC |

Cameras (Front) | 20MP Selfie Shooter |
Battery Size | 5,160 mAh |
Charging Speed | 33W Wired Charging |
If your end goal is gaming then stop here, just buy POCO X3 Pro because the phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 860 (7 nm) which is a flagship processor but it’s available at the budget price tag.
That said, POCO X3 Pro doesn’t have a bad camera but that won’t be a huge issue for gamers.
Note: This device is having a motherboard issue, so I would recommend you skip this device unless and until you like an adventure.
The POCO X3 Pro has a 5,160 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. It comes with a 6.67-inches FHD+ LCD 120Hz display.
Infinix Zero 5G
We have seen, MediaTek Dimensity 900 in many smartphones and most of the smartphones are priced at about 27k to 30k, and Inifnix is given the same chipset at only 20k.
Overall, for the price of Rs 19,999, this is not the best camera smartphone but this is the good gaming smartphone available in India.
By the way, the phone runs on XOS which is not the fun Android skin to use.
The Infinix Zero 5G comes with a 6.78-inches 120Hz LTPS display with a pick brightness of 500 nits and a 240Hz touch sampling rate along with a 5,000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging support.
Now, Infinix has made some compromises which you already know, there is no Widevine L1 support, no Carrier Aggregation support, the cameras are decent, and no stereo speakers but yes, it has a powerful processor which helps a lot while gaming.
This can’t be called an overpriced smartphone, is a value-for-money device, it is just that, Infinix is targeting a different audience.
Conclusion
The Snapdragon 778G is well-tested processor and it will give you better performance and battery life too, now, this is not a powerful gaming processor but for the price of Rs 19999, it’s the best you can get.
Now, you can also consider the POCO X3 Pro but this device is having a motherboard issue, so I would recommend you skip this device unless and until you like an adventure.
