Looking for a smartphone under $250 (₹20k) — best camera first, gaming second

Hey everyone, I’m looking to buy a smartphone under around ₹20,000 (about $250). My main priority is the camera, and gaming is my second priority.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

Camera requirements
• OIS
• Good main rear camera
• Wide + ultra-wide lenses
• Good performance in both day and night
• Natural color accuracy (not oversaturated or artificial looking)
• 4K or higher video recording with good stabilization

Gaming requirements
• Genshin Impact should run smoothly
• BGMI/PUBG on high graphics (around 90+ FPS preferred)
• 120Hz or higher refresh rate

Other must-haves
• 8GB RAM
• 256GB storage
• 5G support

I don’t have much technical knowledge, so I’d appreciate recommendations from people who know this stuff well. Just want the best possible camera phone under this budget, with decent gaming performance.

Thanks in advance!
