Here are some of the best 5G smartphones you can buy right now in this budget, including the Realme P3x 5G and more.

Realme P3x 5G

Starting off the list is the Realme P3x 5G, a stylish and budget-friendly smartphone priced at Rs 13,999. It features a premium design with a vegan leather back in Stellar Pink and Midnight Blue, while the Lunar Silver variant comes with a textured finish.

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, the phone ensures seamless performance for daily tasks, streaming, and gaming. It also sports a 50MP dual-camera setup for clear and bright photography. The 6,000mAh battery easily lasts more than a day, making it a great choice for users who need long battery life.

Poco M7 Pro 5G

The Poco M7 Pro 5G is another strong contender, featuring a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. Under the hood, it is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra processor with up to 8GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and gaming.

The phone’s 50MP main camera captures good-quality images, while the 20MP front camera is great for selfies and video calls. With a 5,110mAh battery, the device lasts a full day, and 45W fast charging ensures minimal downtime. Running on HyperOS based on Android 14, the phone offers a clean and customisable interface.

CMF Phone 1

For those who want something unique, the CMF Phone 1 by Nothing stands out with swappable back covers, allowing users to customise the smartphones look.

It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset, offering reliable performance for daily tasks and casual gaming. The 6.67-inch Super AMOLED display provides vibrant colours and sharp details, making it ideal for content consumption. Its 50MP main camera performs well in daylight, though competition in this price range is tough.

With a 5,000mAh battery, users can expect all-day usage, while Nothing OS 3.0 (based on Android 15) ensures a smooth, clutter-free experience.

Redmi 13 5G

The Redmi 13 5G is an upgraded version of the Redmi 12 5G, bringing key improvements. The 120Hz LCD display enhances scrolling and gaming experiences. However, the highlight of this model is its 108MP primary camera, which captures highly detailed images in good lighting conditions.

The 5,000mAh battery remains unchanged but now supports 33W fast charging, a welcome addition. Xiaomi also includes a charger in the box. Running on HyperOS based on Android 14, the UI is now smoother and more optimised than before. With a combination of solid performance, display quality, and camera capabilities, the Redmi 13 5G is a strong choice in this segment.
