BGMI is one of the most graphically demanding games on smartphones. It packs an expansive open world with PC-like visuals that take mobile gaming to a whole new dimension. However, with higher graphical fidelity comes the requirement for beefier hardware. Although the battle royale is optimized pretty well, it does require some high-end chips for optimal performance.
This can make choosing the best smartphone for playing the game after it is relaunched a bit of a chore. All major mobile makers have launched several devices geared toward gaming, which can make the process of choosing one quite daunting.
Thus, in this listicle, we will list some of the best devices to help you get more "chicken dinners." We have included something for cash-strapped budget gamers to the most expensive ultra-tier devices money can buy.

BGMI doesn't require the latest and greatest smartphones for a decent experience
1) Samsung Galaxy M14 5G (₹14,690)
The Samsung Galaxy M14 5G isn't a very powerful smartphone. It packs the Exynos 1330 chipset, which is way less powerful than the Snapdragon 4 Gen 1. However, at its price point, the device is a great deal. The budget Samsung-made chip beats the Helio G96, a processor that has dominated the entry-level for over a year now.
Samsung sells both 4 GB and 6 GB variants of the device. We recommend you spend a thousand extra and opt for the latter because the extra memory buffer comes in handy in BGMI.
The relatively powerful processor, 5G support, and the large 6000 mAh battery make this device the best option for gamers who don't want to spend a ton for playing BGMI.
2) iQOO Neo 6 5G (₹24,999)
The iQOO Neo 6 is a solid mid-range device that will easily run BGMI without running into major performance hiccups. The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 870 5G chipset, which is an overclocked Snapdragon 865.
This isn't the latest or greatest in the market, but there is no game on the market that the SD 870 can't handle. The company bundles 8 or 12 GB of RAM with the mobile and a moderately large 4700 mAh battery that should last at least 3-4 hours while playing BGMI.
The killer pricing of the smartphone led us to recommend it on a budget. The device doesn't pack the best cameras or other build quality, but it is a great gaming device, nevertheless.
3) OnePlus 10R 5G (₹34,999)
The OnePlus 10R 5G shines in the sub-40k range. The smartphone packs the MediaTek Dimensity 8100 Max chipset, which is way faster than the Snapdragon 778G and the Exynos 1280. The smartphone is moderately priced and comes with superior performance, thereby making it a great device for BGMI.
The OnePlus 10R 5G packs solid cameras and heat dissipation architectures alongside its superior performance. It bundles a 150W fast charger in the box, which ranks it among the fastest-charging smartphones on the market.
4) Xiaomi 12 Pro (₹44,999)
The Xiaomi 12 Pro is a last-gen smartphone. Following the launch of the latest 13 series from the company, its price has dropped massively. Currently, it is available for just ₹44,999, which makes it a killer device in this price range.
It packs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, which may not be the fastest you can buy for this kind of money, but multiple other factors inform this recommendation.
The smartphone comes with a 1440p display, which is quite rare in the mid-range. A dual Harmon Kardon-tuned speaker setup powers the device. Both of these features will take your BGMI experience to the next level. In addition, the Xiaomi 12 Pro was designed as a flagship device, which means you'll get a premium experience without spending close to a lakh on a smartphone.
5) iQOO 11 5G (₹59,999)
iQOO devices are built from the ground up for gaming. Their latest 11 5G is no exception. It packs the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and the latest LPDDR5X memory under its hood, which makes it a solid device for playing BGMI. Gamers can expect sky-high framerates at the highest graphics settings without compromising on quality.
Like the much cheaper Xiaomi 12 Pro, it also comes with a 2K display with HDR 10 support that will take your BGMI experience to the next level. However, the phone does heat up significantly while gaming for long hours. If that's something that bothers you, look at the Samsung Galaxy S23 or the iPhone 14.
