Top 3 picks

POCO M7 Pro 5G
Why we picked this
Best Overall: This is the strongest gaming-focused balance of the three, combining a faster 5G chip, 8GB of RAM, a smooth AMOLED display, and generous storage. It should handle modern games more comfortably than the POCO M7 while remaining more affordable than the premium option.

POCO M7
Why we picked this
Best Value: Its large 144Hz display and very large battery are appealing for long gaming sessions at the lowest price here. The Snapdragon 685 is suitable for lighter games but is comparatively weak for demanding 3D titles, and this model is 4G-only.

Redmi Note 15 5G
Why we picked this
Premium Pick: It offers the largest battery among the 5G options, a spacious high-refresh display, and ample memory and storage. Its Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is appropriate for everyday gaming but is not a major gaming-performance leap over the POCO M7 Pro 5G. It exceeds the €184 standard cap but remains within the permitted premium limit.
