Best Smartphones Under 30000: If you’re on the hunt for a smartphone that offers top-tier features without the flagship price tag, July 2025 has some exciting contenders. With performance upgrades, high-refresh-rate displays, AI features, and sleek designs becoming increasingly accessible, the sub-Rs 30,000 category is delivering serious value.
Whether you’re a gamer, a shutterbug, or just want a stylish daily driver, here are five smartphones under Rs 30,000 that make the cut this month.
Motorola Edge 60 Pro: Premium Appeal Without the Premium Price
Price: Rs 29,999
Motorola’s Edge 60 Pro continues the brand’s streak of stylish, powerful smartphones at an affordable rate. Priced at Rs 29,999, this model features a curved 6.7-inch display, the powerful Dimensity 8350 processor, and a generous 6000mAh battery. What sets it apart is its IP69 rating, rare in this segment, making it durable enough to handle daily splashes and dust.
The camera setup, with a 50MP main lens and a 50MP front shooter, delivers crisp results. However, users should note the absence of expandable storage and the older USB 2.0 standard. Still, as per the official verdict, “The Motorola Edge 60 Pro is an impressive upgrade… it is still one of the best choices in this price range.”
Infinix GT 30 Pro: Gamers, Take Note
Price: Rs 26,999
The Infinix GT 30 Pro is a budget gaming champ. For Rs 26,999, users get a large 6.78-inch 144Hz display, the Dimensity 8350 Ultimate chipset, and a stylish chassis that feels more expensive than it is. With 12GB RAM and a 5500mAh battery, this phone is ready for demanding titles and long gaming sessions.
Camera quality is decent, but night photography suffers. “The smartphone even sports a stylish design, runs smoothly, and delivers impressive battery life,” reads the brand’s take. That said, the absence of optical image stabilisation (OIS) and mediocre low-light camera output may be a letdown for photography enthusiasts.
Nothing Phone (3a) Pro: For the Design-Conscious Minimalist
Price: Rs 29,999
Nothing’s design-first approach continues with the Phone (3a) Pro, which offers a transparent back, Glyph interface, and clean Android software, all at Rs 29,999. The 7s Gen3 processor powers its performance, while the 5000mAh battery offers a full-day experience.
The triple camera system, including a 3x periscope lens, shows ambition, but the results could use fine-tuning. “The Essential Space feature is a promising addition,” the company notes, though charging speeds and the lack of an in-box charger remain points of concern. Still, if you want a unique aesthetic and smooth experience, this is a standout option.
Vivo T3 Ultra: Reliable All-Rounder with Flagship DNA
Price: Rs 29,999
For users seeking a balance of design, performance, and camera chops, the Vivo T3 Ultra offers a compelling package. It features the Dimensity 9200+ chipset, IP68 water and dust resistance, and a large 6.78-inch display. At Rs 29,999, the phone promises portrait-focused camera output without ZEISS branding.
While the phone handles photography well overall, it tends to over-smooth skin in selfies. “The handset delivers decent camera performance for its price,” Vivo states. Add in 256GB of onboard storage and you’ve got a strong all-rounder that can handle just about anything.
OPPO F29 Pro: AI Smarts Meet Sleek Design
Price: Rs 29,999
OPPO’s F29 Pro isn’t just another pretty face. Priced at Rs 29,999, this device brings IP69 durability and a clean, tall 6.7-inch display. But its biggest draw is the integration of AI into daily functions. AI Reply and AI Summary, for instance, help users handle messages and web content quickly.
Despite a solid 6000mAh battery and good main camera performance, it skips an ultra-wide lens and ships with plenty of pre-loaded apps. Still, OPPO claims, “Features like AI Reply make handling emails and messages a breeze.” If you’re looking for an AI-powered, feature-rich daily driver, this could be it.
Each of these smartphones punches above its weight in at least one department, be it design, performance, battery, or smart features. As mid-range phones continue to blur the line with premium devices, July 2025 offers consumers some of the most well-rounded options yet.
