Budget Phones in 2025: There was a lot of talk about flagship smartphones in 2025, but the real buzz was seen in the budget segment. This year, affordable priced phones were not only cheap, but they also surprised everyone in terms of design, performance and features. Brands like Vivo, Realme and Infinix maintained their hold, while Oppo and Nothing also introduced such phones in this range whose absence was felt by the users for a long time.
CMF Phone 2 Pro
Nothing’s sub-brand CMF added new color to the budget category through its CMF Phone 2 Pro. This phone comes with Dimensity 7300 Pro processor and has a triple camera setup which includes 50MP main camera, 50MP telephoto and 8MP ultra-wide lens. 6.7 inch 120Hz AMOLED display, charger in the box and Nothing OS 3.0 make it special. With 5000mAh battery and 33W charging, this phone emerged as a strong contender in the range of less than Rs 20,000.

The slim design, light weight and military-grade protection give it a distinct identity. The screen with IP65 rating and wet touch support makes it reliable for everyday use. Its biggest strength is the large 6,000mAh battery and 45W fast charging. This phone comes in the range of Rs 15 thousand.
Vivo T4x
Vivo T4x made its place this year mainly on the basis of battery. With a large 6500mAh battery, Dimensity 7300 5G processor and 120Hz display, this phone guarantees long battery life.

This smartphone is considered a better option in the range of Rs 18 thousand.
realme p4x
If Realme P4x can be described in one word, it is “powerhouse”. It has a powerful battery of 7,000mAh, which supports 45W fast charging. Dimensity 7400 Ultra chipset, up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage make it strong in terms of performance as well. The cooling system and IP64 rating make it even better in this range. This is also considered a great option in the range of Rs 18 thousand.
Infinix GT 30
Infinix GT 30 has been specially designed keeping gaming in mind. It has a 144Hz AMOLED display, Dimensity 7400 processor and 3D vapor chamber cooling system.
