If you’re into smartphone performance, chances are you’ve heard of AnTuTu. It’s one of the go-to benchmarking tools for testing how powerful a phone really is—measuring everything from raw processing power and graphics to memory speed and overall user experience.
For many buyers in India, AnTuTu scores are a quick way to compare devices before making a decision. And if you’re shopping for a phone under Rs 30,000, knowing which models perform best can save you a lot of guesswork.
That's why we've rounded up the top-performing smartphones in this price bracket based on their AnTuTu scores. If performance matters to you, this list is where your search should start.
Note: The AnTuTu scores mentioned in this story are not sourced from the company's website or other third-party sources. We ran AnTuTu tests on several smartphones and selected the top five performers with over 700,000 scores.
POCO X7 Pro
AnTuTu Score: 16,36,312
Price in India: Rs 23,999
The POCO X7 Pro dominates the performance charts with an AnTuTu score north of 1.6 million—outclassing even some devices that sit well above the Rs 30,000 price mark. At its core is the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset, making it a performance-first option in the mid-range segment.
What makes it even more appealing is how well it balances power with style. The phone features a sleek design, an excellent display, and a battery that can comfortably handle a full day of use. While titles like BGMI and Call of Duty: Mobile still need better optimisation on this hardware, the experience remains smooth for most tasks. The only letdowns are the inconsistent camera exposure and a software interface that tends to spam with notifications. Still, for sheer performance, the X7 Pro is a serious contender. Here’s our full review.
