With Amazon’s Great Indian Festival and Flipkart’s Big Billion Day sale currently offering discounts on several smartphones, now might be the best time to buy the gaming phone you were waiting for. From Apple to Poco, here we list some of the best gaming phones that can play BGMI, Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Garena Free Fire and other mobile games at respectable settings without lags or stutters.
Poco F5
Launched earlier this year, Poco F5 (review) is currently one of the best mid-range gaming phones in the market. Powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 2 chipset, which performs similarly to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the phone comes with a 120Hz 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision support and Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
Running on MIUI 14 based on Android 13, Poco F5 will get 2 Android updates and 3 years of security patches. It comes with 256GB internal storage and is available in 8GB and 12GB RAM variants. The company is also offering 2 years of warranty.

It can run most games at 60fps without any issues with settings turned to high, so if you are on a tight budget and want a phone that can last a couple of years, the Poco F5 is one of the best budget gaming phones available right now.
If you don’t need the extra 4GB RAM, the base variant (8GB+256GB) of the Poco F5 should meet all your gaming requirements. It is currently available on Flipkart for Rs 22,999 without bank offers.
Motorola Edge 40
If you are looking for a good-looking gaming phone with IP68 protection, the Motorola Edge 40 is an easy recommendation. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 chipset, which is slightly more powerful than the Snapdragon 778G, the phone has a 6.55-inch pOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate.
It comes with a near-stock Android 13 and a dual camera setup that consists of a 50MP primary sensor backed by a 13MP ultrawide lens. However, the battery is on the smaller side (rated at 4,400mAh), but the 68W fast charging covers for that.
