Top Php 20k Phones For Genshin Impact (2024)

• POCO X6 Pro
• TECNO Camon 30 Pro
• CMF Phone 1
• Redmi Note 13 Pro
• Infinix GT 20 Pro

POCO X6 Pro – Php 19,999 (12GB/512GB)

While it is one of the first releases of 2024, it’s hard to beat what the POCO X6 Pro has to offer: at under Php 20k, you get 12GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.0 storage, which is a combination you’d rarely see on a midrange phone. The POCO X6 Pro excels further with its use of a Dimensity 8300 processor, which is a very powerful chip that can rival flagship processors like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. That set of internals is a great combination, as the POCO X6 Pro can easily run Genshin Impact in the highest graphics settings and hit close to 60FPS.

TECNO Camon 30 Pro – Php 17,999 (12GB/512GB)

While it is more of a camera-focused phone, the Camon 30 Pro is a solid device for gaming with its use of a Dimensity 8200 processor, which is a tried-and-tested chip. In our experience, we can run Genshin Impact at the highest graphics settings, with average FPS hovering around 40FPS. Aside from that, having 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage makes the Camon 30 Pro also suitable for multiple games like Honkai: Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, Zenless Zone Zero, and more. If you want a phone that can do both content creation and gaming, the Camon 30 Pro is a good option.

CMF Phone 1 – Php 17,490 (8GB/256GB)

Outside of being fancy with its modular back panel that lets you personalize it with different colors or add different accessories, the CMF Phone 1 has a good set of internals that can easily run Genshin Impact comfortably at high graphics. We’ve reviewed a few phones using the Dimensity 7300, and we were impressed at how this midrange chip performed compared to similar rivals like the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 when it comes to gaming. Aside from its industrial looks, its bloatware-free UI is another plus, which means that the CMF Phone 1 makes good use of its storage space and lets you load games faster without the added clutter.

Redmi Note 13 Pro – Php 17,999 (12GB/512GB)

By now, you’d notice that the majority of our picks use MediaTek chips–but how about those using Snapdragon chips? The Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a great entry point for running Genshin Impact decently at high graphics with an average FPS at around the 40s, and one of the top picks is the Redmi Note 13 Pro. Aside from its processor of choice (along with being the most affordable phone to have eSIM support), the Redmi Note 13 Pro can be configured with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage at just under Php 18k. As an added bonus, you get a slightly bigger 5100mAh battery inside, along with a 200-megapixel main camera with OIS.

Infinix GT 20 Pro – Php 16,999 (12GB/256GB)

If you only want a good processor, the GT 20 Pro is a good alternative to the Camon 30 Pro as it is the most affordable phone you can buy with a Dimenasity 8200 chip, which is a potent processor for both camera and gaming performance. You also get a decent RAM and storage configuration at 12GB and 256GB respectively, along with a gamer-inspired back panel with that fancy RGB lighting to give added gamer aesthetic. Like the CMF Phone 1, the GT 20 Pro is free of bloatware, so you can make the most out of its storage.

That sums up our top phones picks at the Php 20k segment that’s great for Genshin Impact. Which phone do you plan to buy?
