Best Budget PubG Mobile Phones (2020) | Gaming on the cheap

Reviews of the best budget-friendly smartphones for gaming on PubG Mobile and other Android titles. If you want to stay entertained on the move but you need something cheap, no worries – I’ve tested all of these handsets, to check the performance, battery life, dedicated gaming features and more. These are my favourite gamer phones for 2020, offering strong value for money.

We start with the Nubia Red Magic 3S, a dedicated phone for PubG Mobile and other Android action titles. With Snapdragon 855+ speed, fan cooling and haptic triggers, this £400 device gives you the edge over your rivals.

If that price is too high, check the more budget-friendly Huawei Nova 5T. The P30-style specs and GPU Turbo feature means smooth running while gaming, while the FHD screen and respectable battery life are advantageous. Samsung’s Galaxy A51 also impresses, with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and proper gaming features.

The best gaming phones under £300 include Motorola’s Moto G8 Plus and the Oppo A9 2020. Meanwhile for a budget of under £200, you should check out the Realme 5 and Redmi Note 8T.

    Look, when someone is looking for mid range gaming phone, hes looking for a normal regular phone that can handle games too, not a gaming phone!

  36. Titus Eclipse on November 17, 2020 at 4:27 pm

    Me a filipino: "just" £400? You can literally buy a decent or a great house with that. You can rent an island here in the Philippines for $20.
