Nokia G10 : Back in the day when smartphones felt like luxury toys, Nokia G10 quietly stormed Indian shelves in 2021, but even in late 2025, it’s roaring back as the best low-price beast for casual gamers craving dhakad performance without burning holes in pockets.
Hovering at jaw-dropping ₹9,899 to ₹11,999 for the 4GB RAM + 64GB variant, this 5050mAh battery monster proves you don’t need flagship cash for solid PUBG sessions or Mobile Legends marathons.
Shoppers in Narnaund and beyond are snapping it up from Flipkart and Croma, where deals shave it under ₹10k—talk about value that slaps harder than a headshot.
Dhakad Helio G25: Gaming Muscle on a Shoestring Budget
Forget the hype around overpriced “gaming phones”—Nokia G10’s MediaTek Helio G25 octa-core chipset (4×2.0GHz Cortex-A53 + 4×1.5GHz) clocks up to 2GHz with PowerVR GE8320 GPU, delivering playable frames that punch way above its entry-level tag.
Real-world tests show Mobile Legends hitting 55-60 FPS at balanced settings with 98% stability, no stutters even in team clashes, while League of Legends Wild Rift cruises at 56-58 FPS on quality mode.
PUBG Mobile and CODM? Expect 24-30 FPS on smooth graphics—casual squads love it, though hardcore pros might crave more juice; still, for under ₹12k, it’s a dhakad daily driver that laughs at lag.
Daily multitasking shines too—scrolling Instagram, switching WhatsApp chats, or streaming YouTube feels snappy, thanks to 4GB RAM and expandable storage up to 512GB via dedicated microSD.

Nokia promises two years of OS upgrades (up to Android 13 by now) and three years security patches, keeping bloat at bay in 2025’s app jungle. Heat stays tame during 30-minute sessions, unlike pricier rivals that throttle after 10.
Massive Battery That Outlasts Gaming Sessions
No gamer hates a mid-match blackout, and Nokia G10’s 5050mAh powerhouse delivers 7-8 hours screen-on time, powering full-day PUBG grinds or Free Fire binges without a whimper.
Standby drain? Negligible overnight, waking up at 90%+ for morning rushes—perfect for Haryana hustlers riding bikes between Narnaund errands.
Proprietary 10W charging isn’t lightning-fast (full top-up in 2.5 hours), but USB-C with OTG juices earbuds on the go, and splash resistance shrugs off sweaty palms.
Camera Setup That Surprises on the Cheap
Triple rear cams (13MP main + 2MP macro + 2MP depth) nail daylight portraits and macros of street chaat, with AI tweaks sharpening edges for social media flexes.
8MP selfie shooter handles video calls crisply, and 1080p@30fps recording captures bike vlogs without fuzz. Not flagship-level low-light wizardry, but for ₹10k, it edges out competitors in color pop.
Big Screen for Immersive Low-Budget Thrills
The 6.52-inch HD+ TFT LCD (720×1600, 20:9) spans edge-to-edge with waterdrop notch, flooding PUBG lobbies in vibrant glory—far better than tiny screens on “best under ₹12k” lists dominated by Redmi 13C clones.
60Hz refresh keeps swipes fluid, and loud speaker blasts game audio during solo queues. At 194g and 9.2mm thick (Dusk/Night colors), it grips comfy for long hauls, with side fingerprint and face unlock speeding logins.
Why Nokia G10 Rules Budget Gaming in 2025
In a sea of 5G flash like Poco M7 or Realme Narzo 80x under ₹12k, Nokia G10 stands tall for pure 4G reliability—no network drama in rural spots—and that timeless Nokia durability.
Stock Android 11 (upgradable) skips bloat, letting Helio G25 flex freely. Content creators digging specs for reviews? This dhakad processor + battery combo fits your workflow like a glove.
