  • Infinix GT 20 Pro

    The Infinix GT 20 Pro launched in India in May 2024 at Rs 24,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB. It was built as a budget gaming phone, with a cyber-mecha design that includes customisable Mecha Loop LED lights around the camera module, and it targeted young buyers who might otherwise consider the Poco X6 Pro or iQOO Z9.

    Its 6.78-inch AMOLED runs at up to 144Hz, and a dedicated Pixelworks display chip handles frame interpolation in supported games. The MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate is a genuinely fast chip for the money, sustained by a vapour chamber cooling system. XOS 14 on Android 14 includes a game mode with performance tuning, though it carries more preinstalled apps than cleaner rivals.

    The 108 MP main camera produces detailed daylight shots, but the two 2 MP auxiliary lenses add little. The 5000 mAh battery offers solid gaming endurance, charging at 45W, with a bypass charging mode that powers the phone directly during play. Against the Poco X6 Pro it offers a more playful design and display chip, while Poco counters with slightly stronger raw performance.

  • iQOO Neo 10R

    The iQOO Neo 10R launched in India in March 2025 as a performance phone aimed at younger buyers and gamers. It used the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a slightly trimmed flagship chip, and a very large 6,400 mAh battery. Its main rivals were the Poco X7 Pro, OnePlus Nord 4 and Realme P3 Ultra, all targeting the space just below 30,000 rupees.

    The 6.78-inch AMOLED display has a 1.5K resolution and refreshes at up to 144Hz, giving sharp visuals and very smooth gameplay. Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 delivers excellent sustained performance, and iQOO highlighted long stable sessions at high frame rates in popular shooters. An IP65 rating adds water-jet protection. Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15 came with a game mode and the usual Vivo-family extras.

    The 50 MP Sony IMX882 main camera with OIS takes dependable photos, and an 8 MP ultrawide is functional but basic. The 32 MP front camera is a step up from earlier Neo models. The 6,400 mAh battery easily lasts more than a day, and 80W charging is quick. Against the Poco X7 Pro, it offered similar speed with a larger battery and a higher refresh rate.
