Best Phones Under Rs 20,000 To Play PUBG Mobile On

Last month, PUBG Mobile surpassed all other games on the Play Store to win Google’s Best Game Award, and recent statistics show that this battle royale title is currently raking in over 30 million daily active users.

There is no questioning that PUBG Mobile is one of the biggest mobile titles in the world right now. So if you want to jump onto the bandwagon and grab some chicken dinners but don’t have the means to do so, here are three suggestions of reasonably-priced phones that you can get for just under Rs 20,000. Despite their relatively cheap price, they are still perfectly capable of delivering a very solid gaming experience.

Xiaomi Poco F1

Xiaomi Poco F1 is the most powerful smartphone on this list. This is understandable, considering that it has a price of Rs 19,999, which is basically the limit we have here. Still, you will not find a better phone for the same price. The Poco F1 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which is one of the strongest processors currently available for smartphones.  This processor is accompanied by Adreno 630 GPU and 6GB of RAM, which is more than enough to run PUBG Mobile seamlessly. What’s more, it also has a liquid cooling system to further enhance the user’s experience. Note that the phone does get a bit hot if you play for long hours, but it shouldn’t cause any inconvenience.

Realme 2 Pro

In term of specs, the Realme 2 Pro comes with a 6.3-inch full HD+ display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, and Adreno 512 GPU. There are three versions currently available on the market. The first one, which has 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage, will set you back Rs 13,990. The 6GB RAM & 64GB Storage version, meanwhile, costs Rs 15,990, whereas you’ll have to spend Rs 17,990 to get a 8GB Ram/128GB storage version.

PUBG Mobile is a fairly resource demanding game, so it is recommended that you go for at least the 6GB RAM version. The cheapest version with 4GB RAM will still be able to run the game with no problem, but if you play for long sections, you might experience some issues due to the limited volatile memory space.

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2

Like the Realme 2 Pro, the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 also uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 - Adreno 512 combination. Another similarity is that it too has 3 variants: 3GB RAM/32GB storage, 4GB RAM/64GB storage and 6GB RAM/64GB storage; which costs Rs 12,999, Rs 14,999 and Rs 16,999 respectively. They are all capable of running PUBG Mobile smoothly on medium setting. The Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 is a cheaper alternative if you cannot afford the more expensive phones, and its wide price range gives you further options to pick the one that is most suitable to your budget.
