Best Gaming Phones Across Price Ranges (June 2025) According to Our Tests

Best Gaming Phones in June 2025

Not all phones are built to handle serious gaming, but we’ve found the ones that can. Whether you’re on a budget or ready to splurge, our June lineup of gaming champs has something for everyone. Each phone on this list has been put through its paces by the XpertPick core-testing team. Curious to see which one crushed the benchmarks and which one’s worth your money? Let’s break it down in this article.

Testing Criteria

Before we dive into the top gaming phones, here’s how we found the powerful gaming phones. Each device went through a two-part test: the AnTuTu benchmark test for measuring power, and a 30-minute BGMI session to see how it holds up in real-world pressure.

Numbers are great, but gameplay tells the full story; so we paid close attention to stutters, heating, and how well each phone kept its cool during chaotic battles.

Oh, and just because it’s 2025 doesn’t mean we forgot the legends. A few 2024 champs still bring their A-game, and they’ve earned their spot on this list.

Best Gaming Phone Under Rs 15,000

Vivo T4x

The Vivo T4x might’ve arrived a few months ago, but it’s still going strong as one of the best budget gaming phones under Rs 15,000 this June. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 SoC—a chip you’d usually expect in phones that are in the sub-Rs 25,000 price segment. Somehow, Vivo managed to squeeze it into this price range, and that alone makes the T4x worth a second look.

With an AnTuTu score of over 7 lakhs, it’s got the numbers to back it up. And while the others phones in this segment like the iQOO Z10x and Infinix Note 50x 5G+ put up a good fight, they just don’t bring the same all-round value.

We took the T4x for a real-world spin with BGMI at max settings for over an hour, and it held 60fps like a pro. Overall, we experienced smooth and consistent gameplay that proves it’s not just good on paper.

And there’s more to love. It’s got a clean, modern design, a solid build, a battery that easily lasts a day, and a main camera that actually impresses in good lighting. So no, the T4x isn’t just about gaming, it’s got the balance that most phones at this price miss. So, if you want a phone that plays hard but still keeps it classy, the Vivo T4x should definitely be on your radar.

Best Gaming Phone Under Rs 25,000

Realme P3 Ultra

Choosing a gaming phone under Rs 25,000 right now is a bit of a headache. The market is bursting with solid contenders, each claiming to be “the one.” But after days of testing and plenty of late-night BGMI sessions, we’ve got a clear winner: the Realme P3 Ultra.

Now, on paper, it’s not the most obvious pick. The POCO X7 Pro, for instance, flexes harder with its 1.5 million+ AnTuTu score, while the P3 Ultra clocks in at a little over 1.3 million. Take a look at the table below.

When it came down to actual gameplay, the P3 Ultra left a stronger impression. It pulled off a consistent 90fps in BGMI for a full hour without any stutters or heating issues. The POCO X7 Pro, on the other hand was smooth, sure, but capped at 60fps. And if you’re serious about gaming, that extra fluidity makes all the difference.

Looks-wise, the P3 Ultra keeps things exciting with a bold, luminous back and a crisp display that punches above its weight. The camera holds its own too; more than enough for casual photography.

That said, it’s not perfect. The software could use a bit of polish. But if you’re after a gaming-first phone that doesn’t compromise on style or daily usability, the Realme P3 Ultra deserves a spot on your shortlist.

Best Gaming Phone Under Rs 30,000

Realme GT 6

When the Realme GT 6 first hit shelves at Rs 40,999, it was already punching above its weight. Fast-forward to now, and with its price dipping below Rs 30,000, it’s hard to ignore just how much value it packs in.

At the heart of this performance champ is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3—one of Qualcomm’s most efficient chips. It blasted past 1.5 million on AnTuTu during our tests, setting a new standard in the segment. Sure, rivals like the Vivo T3 Ultra and iQOO Neo 10R put up respectable scores too, but the GT 6 still came out ahead where it counts.

We didn’t stop at numbers. In everyday gaming, it didn’t disappoint. Lightweight games like Subway Surfers felt ultra-smooth at 60fps, thanks to the curved display adding a touch of flair. But it was the BGMI run that sealed the deal—solid 90fps, no heating issues or frame drops.

And the perks don’t end there. Realme loaded this device with AI smarts that streamline multitasking, a telephoto lens that actually holds up, and a ridiculously bright screen that hits 6000 nits. Whether you’re outdoors in harsh sunlight or binge-watching indoors, the display is a treat.

So yes, it’s fast. But it’s also stylish, versatile, and surprisingly well-rounded. If you’re in the market for a do-it-all phone that handles gaming, photography, and daily tasks with equal ease, the Realme GT 6 easily earns its spot in your shortlist.

Best Gaming Phone Under Rs 50,000

Realme GT 7

Realme is clearly shooting for the stars with the GT 7. It’s the first phone to feature MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400e chip, and that alone had us curious. On paper, it clocks a massive 2.1 million+ on AnTuTu, which is well ahead of what phones like the OnePlus 13R and Vivo T4 Ultra manage. Close, yes; but not quite there.

Benchmarks aside, the real story unfolded during our gaming test. We maxed out the settings, turned on screen recording, and let it rip. And the GT 7 is smooth as butter. It delivered consistently high frame rates and barely flinched under pressure.

It’s not just a performance champ, either. The display is gorgeous, the speakers are loud and clear, and the overall design feels premium. Daylight photos come out looking natural and crisp.

Of course, no phone’s perfect. The camera does struggle a bit when lighting changes too quickly, but that’s hardly a deal-breaker.

At the end of the day, Realme has pulled off something special with the GT 7. It’s powerful, polished, and priced right—a rare combo that’s hard to ignore.

Best Gaming Phone Under Rs 70,000

Realme GT 7 Pro

As the first phone to debut Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, it’s not just making a splash; it’s rewriting the playbook for gaming phones in 2025.

In pure benchmark terms, this thing is a beast. It nearly cracked the 3 million barrier on AnTuTu, leaving the OnePlus 13R and iQOO 13 eating dust at around 2.6 million. Numbers this high were previously reserved for ultra-premium flagships.

But let’s move beyond synthetic scores. We put the GT 7 Pro through an intense BGMI marathon on max settings, and the results were impressive: no frame drops or lags. It’s the kind of stability serious mobile gamers dream about.

What seals the deal, though, is the complete package. You’re getting a razor-sharp display, a capable camera system, immersive stereo speakers, and a massive battery—all tucked into a sleek aluminium chassis. It doesn’t just perform, it also looks and feels flagship-grade.

Of course, perfection is rare. Realme UI is fast and fluid, but the occasional spammy notification is a blemish on an otherwise polished experience. If you’re after next-gen performance without paying ultra-premium prices, the GT 7 Pro might just be the phone to beat.

That’s a wrap on June’s gaming phone showdown! With fresh launches just around the corner, we’ll be back soon with the next round of heavy-hitters. Until then, keep your eyes on XpertPick; we do the testing so you don’t waste your money on overhyped tech.
