What we look for in the best gaming phone under ₹1,25,000
Not all phones marketed for gaming deliver on that promise. We score devices on sustained performance, thermal management, and high-refresh displays for smooth gameplay. At this price point, the gap between best and worst is significant — the wrong choice will frustrate you within months.
Our engine penalizes devices with known reliability issues, weak service networks in India, and short software-update windows — the bigger the gap, the more it drags the score down. A phone lacking updates after 2 years is a security risk — not a bargain.
