Smartphones these days are more than capable of handling graphic-intensive games. You can find one without having to stretch your budget. Even under Rs 20,000, some smartphones can easily handle games like BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) and Call of Duty Mobile. The 91mobiles team has been testing phones on various scenarios to hand-pick the best smartphones for different use cases. 

In this article, you’ll find the best gaming smartphones under Rs 20,000 in India. The data is based on how these phones can handle BGMI, one of the most popular mobile games in the country.

Realme P1 is the first smartphone from the brand’s new P-series. It has a starting price of Rs 15,999 and comes with up to 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

This phone has all the requirements for a gaming smartphone, and its affordable price tag also keeps it on top. In our gaming test, we played BGMI on the HDR setting with the phone starting at 29.4 (degrees Celsius) temperature before the game. After 30 minutes of gaming, the Realme P1’s temperature dropped to 34.6 and the battery level dropped by 7 percent.
