Best Phones Under Rs-30000 In India
The last phone[Realme P3 Ultra] isn’t in this list but it’s a proper flagship-grade feature, and I am surprised to find it under rupees 25000.
Nothing Phone 3A Pro
So the first phone on my list is the Nothing Phone 3A Pro. Now the phone 3A is, of course, a better buy than the phone 3A Pro. But the phone 3A Pro has one thing that many other phones in this list don’t have, and that is the 3x periscope camera.

Nothing also has great design, not just in the hardware but also in the software. The display is also pretty good. It’s got a fairly decent sized battery, and it also supports 50 watt charging. The major reason why I am recommending the Nothing Phone 3A Pro is the software experience, which is fantastic. It’s very clean, very refined, and very premium.
- The problem with the Nothing Phone 3A Pro is that for its asking price, the “Snapdragon 7S Gen 3” is definitely an underperformer. They should have at least given a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 or 7+ Gen 3. Also, note that it doesn’t bundle a charger inside the box, so that is an extra cost.
OnePlus 12R
This is not a new phone, and it has been discounted, and now it’s available for a very good price of ₹30000. Now for that price, what you get is a flagship-grade Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset and a flagship grade display as well.

It’s a curved 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4500 nits of peak brightness. But remember that under ₹30000 you actually get the UFS 3.1 variant, and it has a large 5500 mAh battery, which has very good battery life. It’s the fastest charging phone on this list that we have at 100W with the charger inside the box.
- Only issue is that I wasn’t very happy with the camera Performance of the OnePlus 12R. So keep that in mind. One more thing to remember is that it’ll have one fewer year of update considering that it was launched last year.
IQOO Neo 10R
I am talking about the higherend varient of the Neo 10R. You can even get the 12/256 GB variant under ₹30000 and it’s definitely a performance monster. This is the varient that we tested, so you get Snapdragon 8S Gen 3.

You also get LPDDR5X RAM type and UFS 4.1 storage in this varient which is very good. While the phone doesn’t look very attractive at least it’s very slim considering the massive 6400 mAh battery inside the phone and you also do get 80W fast charging speed as well.
- The iQOO Neo 10R has the best battery life and the good thing about the iQOO Neo 10R is that it’s a Performance oriented phone which has camera performance that doesn’t suck.
Realme 14 Pro+
The main reason why I am recommending the Realme 14 Pro plus is also because it has a proper 3X periscope camera and the camera performance is actually very good. It’s consistent and that’s something that we liked about the Realme 14 Pro plus.

It’s one of the better camera phone in this price range. The display is very good, and you get a very large battery. And unlike the Nothing Phone 3A Pro which doesn’t have IP69 or 68 rating but you get that with the Realme 14 Pro Plus. So Realme does give you better durability. Even the software experience on the Realme UI6 is actually pretty good.
- The problem is of course Snapdragon 7S Gen 3 because the performance is not going to be great.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

Now it’s surprising that, Samsung has reduced the price of the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE to under ₹30000 because Samsung generally does that with the FE ranges of phones. It’s a true flagship experience with IP68 rating, 3X telephoto camera, proper wireless charging and performance which is not too bad. It’s the Exynos 2200 so there are better performing phones in this price range.
- There are some problem with the S23 FE though the charging speeds are going to be slow and the battery life is definitely not going to be great and the display bazles at the front are a little too thick and it doesn’t look very modern compare to the other phones in this price range. And you also don’t get a charger inside the box like a Nothing Phone 3A Pro.
This are the best phones under Rs-30000 in India. There are certain phones that you might have thought of are not in the list so, let me just explain why they’re not there. There is P3 ultra but P3 ultra was launched like way under ₹25000 and more importantly, the camera performance on that wasn’t that great. So I picked the iQOO Neo 10R.
