Not everyone carries a power bank with them – for some of us, a smartphone’s battery endurance is an important factor. There’s so many powerful smartphones around the mid-range elite – what’s stopping them from lasting a day? In 2025, it is becoming increasingly harder to find decent mid-range smartphones that don’t compromise performance and can last a full day. Luckily, there are a few contenders under ₹30,000 and they are pretty good.

Here’s a tested, verified list of best battery-centric smartphones under ₹30,000 – developed after running a range of performance and endurance tests at Digit Test Labs.

1. Poco F7 – Performance meets Power
First of the list is the Poco F7 with a huge 7550mAh battery – the biggest in this price range. It performed extremely well through our tests of gaming, video streaming and social media drastically without skipping a beat. Not only does it have a massive battery, it also supports 90W fast charging, taking the phone from 0 to 100 in just cramped under an hour. If you are a mobile person or someone who hates ‘battery low’ warnings, this is the best for you.

2. Vivo T4 & iQOO Z10 – Best Outdoor Phones

If you travel a lot or are someone who is away from the charger, then Vivo T4 and the iQOO Z10 both fit the bill. They both have a 7300mAh battery which can last beyond a full day, even when you’re using the phone heavily for all sorts of things. They also have 90W fast charging which can charge up the phone in 40 minutes. Both have been designed with processes that last long without consuming too much battery.

3. iQOO Neo 10R – Best for Gaming

For mobile gamers, it is a strong candidate because it can output a very smooth 90fps and has a decent battery size of 6500mAh. It charges slightly slower at 80W than the others we have looked at, but it can charge up 50% in about 25 mins which is still impressive. If you are a gamer on a budget it will do you right.

4. Poco X7 Pro – The Best for Media

If you use your phone for video streaming, browsing, or music, then the Poco X7 Pro will prove itself to be a treasure. It has a scheduled battery of 6000mAh, and when you combine that with software-level usage it yields great playback time. In our test we saw a 30 minute YouTube session consume just 3-4% of the phone’s battery. The Poco X7 Pro also supports 90W fast charging beckoning a full charge within 45 minutes.

5. Realme P3 Pro & P3 Ultra – Balanced and Trustworthy

If you are looking for a stylish design, stable performance, and long-lasting battery, the Realme P3 Pro and Ultra represent strong candidates. Both carry 6000mAh batteries and use power-efficient software for better performance and energy conservation, and they support 80W charging, so you’ll spend less time charging.
