Best 5G Mobile Phones Under ₹20,000 in India (September 2023)

The battery on the iQOO Z7 5G is also pretty decent with the 4,500mAh battery that is good for a day and a half backup with support for 44W fast charging. In our charging test, the iQOO Z7 5G charged from 0 to 100 in just about an hour.

Motorola's Moto G82 also has one of the best displays in the segment, with a 6.6-inch 10-bit pOLED display and a 144Hz refresh rate! This is the only smartphone in this list to come with a 144Hz refresh rate.

The OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite 5G also gets a nice LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display crisp and responsive, but not the brightest in this segment. The display is also super responsive with up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate that comes with 6 different refresh stops between 30Hz to 120Hz, which is good for preserving the battery.

We get a pretty decent set of triple camera setup with the Redmi Note 12 5G, which is tuned very well for the Indian user. The 48-megapixel primary shooter clicks very good shots in ideal lighting conditions, and the low light shots are also very good from the Redmi Note 12. In terms of battery, the Redmi Note 12 5G is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. The smartphone easily lasts for more than 1.5 days, and the 33W charger fills-up the Redmi Note 12 5G in about 75 minutes.

Coming to display, the Moto G73 doesn't take Motorola's image of offering one of the best displays forward. Despite competing devices offering AMOLED panels, the Moto G73 settles for an IPS LCD display (6.52-inch).

The Vivo T2 5G also has the better display in this list, with an FHD+ AMOLED display, which is considered superior in terms of picture quality and details, but we don't get a high refresh rate. For optics, we get a 64MP + 2MP dual rear camera setup with OIS, which is very similar to the camera setup on the iQOO Z7 5G.

Apart from the design, the Realme 10 Pro 5G is also quite a performer. The smartphone, powered by Snapdragon 695 beat out its closest competitor, the Redmi Note 12 5G in many benchmark tests when we compared the two head-to-head. The Realme 10 Pro also has a 5,000mAh battery and there is a triple rear camera with a 108MP primary shooter. The photos out of the Realme 10 Pro 5G are not the best in the segment, but images in the 108MP mode are super detailed.

The camera on the Poco X4 Pro 5G is also very good. We get a quad camera setup with a 108MP primary shooter, a 64MP wide angle lens, another 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle shooter, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. The images from the Poco X4 Pro 5G's camera are highly detailed with a wide dynamic range. In low light also, this camera performs very well, but struggles in wide-angle shots.

To make the gaming experience better and to facilitate entertainment purposes, the Realme Narzo 50 Pro 5G also has a Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Camera and battery are pretty standard across this segment. We get a 64MP + 8MP + 2MP triple rear camera setup, which is good for casual users who only take photos for social media, and we get a 5000mAh battery which lasts a full day and more.
