![Best Mobile Phones Under Rs. 50,000 in Nepal [Updated]](/_next/image?url=http%3A%2F%2F45.117.153.85%3A8002%2Fuploads%2Fmedias%2F2024%2F02%2FBest-Phones-Under-50000-in-Nepal.jpg&w=1920&q=75)
With a ton of choices, buying a smartphone can become a confusing adventure for many. And in the Nepali market, the 50K price bracket is probably the trickiest of them all. That's because this is a category that's more than midrange yet less than the premium midrangers. So oftentimes, most phones in this range don't find the right balance between price and overall performance. To help you with your purchase decision, here is our list of the best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal.
The new OnePlus Nord CE 3 is pretty similar to its lite version, the OnePlus Nord CE 3 Lite. And one of the most notable upgrades this time is the switch from a Snapdragon 778G to a Snapdragon 782G chipset.As for the optics, OnePlus has settled with the flagship grade 50MP Sony IMX890 primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 2MP macro sensor here. Other than this, the Nord CE 3 carries a larger 6.72" AMOLED 120Hz display.The phone runs on Android 13-based OxygenOS 13.1 out-of-the-box and OnePlus also promises 2 major Android and 3 years of security updates for this guy. Fueling the phone is a 5000mAh battery with 80W fast charging support.
The Vivo V29e is the latest midrange phone from the Chinese smartphone maker in Nepal. As usual, Vivo has primarily focused on the design front. You get a flat frame body with a flat display upfront with minimal bezels. It is available in two color shades: Forest Black and Rose Gold.Powering the device from the core is the Snapdragon 695 chipset, a nearly 3-year-old chip with two Cortex-A78 cores at 2.2GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.9GHz. The phone is available in a sole configuration in Nepal: 8/256GB.
Next up is the new Honor X9b. Available in Sunrise Orange, Midnight Black, and Emerald Green color options, the Honor X9b looks and feels like a premium phone. It is slim and wins big points as far as ergonomics is concerned. And that bold circular camera ring at the back is something of a conversation piece as well.But the actual cameras on this phone are not that inspiring. There's a triple camera array inside the aforementioned camera ring, which includes a 108MP main, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens. However, we found that Honor hasn't optimized the cameras that well. And its ultrawide sensor is especially underwhelming for a premium mid-range phone. Honor X9b also lacks optical image stabilization (OIS), while there's no EIS for videos either.
The silver medal on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal goes to the Samsung Galaxy A34 5G. As the name implies, it is the successor to the Galaxy A33 5G which appears in the sixth spot on our list. And it brings a bunch of meaningful upgrades over its predecessor to seal its place in the top spot of our list.That starts with the design itself. Samsung has experimented with a universal design approach with almost all its smartphones in 2023. That means whether it's a budget phone like the Galaxy A14 5G, a midrange one like the Galaxy A34 5G, or flagships like the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+, they all share similar design principles. This consists of a minimalistic camera layout with protruding lens, flat sides, and curved edges.As a result, design-wise, the Galaxy A34 5G punches above its weight to give you a relatively premium experience. It does have a plastic back and frames, but its hands-on feel is quite nice for a phone under 50K. For a more durable wear-and-tear in the long run, Samsung also offers IP67 dust and water resistance on this phone; which is something no other brands have managed in this segment. If only it has a hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera instead of a notch!
Moving on, our number two pick in this list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the upcoming Realme 12 Pro. Compared to the Realme 11 Pro, Realme really went above and beyond with this phone; especially in terms of camera. While telephoto lenses have almost always been present only on high-end smartphones, the Realme 12 Pro brings a 2X telephoto lens in the midrange segment.Besides, the 6.7" FHD+ display also looks great for everyday usage or media consumption thanks to features like 120Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colors, and 800 nits peak brightness.
And the bronze medal on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal goes to the Samsung Galaxy F54, which is just a rebranded Galaxy M54 by the way. As expected from a "Galaxy F" series phone, it brings a big battery and a slightly compromised design compared to the "Galaxy A" lineup. More specifically, Galaxy F54 carries a 6000mAh battery, which is the biggest compared to every other phone on this list.As a result, it easily lasts a couple of days in medium to heavy usage. But filling it up takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes using a compatible 25W power brick. Oh, and you're gonna have to buy a charger separately since Samsung doesn't ship one inside the box. Besides this, Galaxy F54 has a pretty nice-looking design. Not as nice as Galaxy A54 which it takes some inspiration from, but still good enough.The phone has curved edges at the back for a comfortable grip and is available in silver and dark blue finishes. Unlike Galaxy A54, Samsung has opted to go with a plastic back here, while this thing misses out on an official IP rating as well. As for the display, Galaxy F54 brings a big 6.7-inch Super AMOLED Plus panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass 5 protection. And it has good colors and brightness levels for easy outdoor visibility.1. Redmi Note 13 Pro+
Bagging the gold in the list is none other than the Redmi Note 13 Pro+, the top-end model of the Note 13 Pro Series. This guy brings the flagship features for a mid-range price such as Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, IP67 rating, and 120W fast charging.The design aspect is also very refined with a curved display, an aluminum frame, and a glass back. The screen here is a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, Dolby Vision, HDR 10+, 1,800 nits of peak brightness, and 1920Hz high-frequency dimming.

How to find the best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal?
As aforementioned, phones under 50K are sort of a middle ground between midrange and premium midrange devices, so their feature set and overall value for money can be a bit tricky to figure out. Anyway, you shouldn't settle for anything less than a high refresh rate OLED display when spending NPR 50000 on a phone. An attractive and durable design is another thing to look out for here.While an official IP rating is pretty rare in this segment, if that's a must for you, then Samsung has got you covered. The 2024 Redmi smartphones also bear an official IP68 rating, while Samsung phones usually come with IP67 dust and water resistance as well. Performance shouldn't be a concern on these smartphones either, whereas you also get a capable camera setup here. Some brands even offer OIS and 4K recording in this price range.| Note: In this list, we have also included a few smartphones that cost more than NPR 50000—but not by a lot. We’ve done this so that you can further curate your choices, and also because we don’t want you to miss any good deal by spending NPR 1000 – 2000 more. The prices of such products are marked with an asterisk (*) at the end. |

4. Samsung Galaxy A34 5G
Dimensity 1080 5G
Other than this, another notable upgrade on the Galaxy A34 5G is definitely in the performance department.

This is also something unheard of by other smartphone makers in this price bracket. Other than this, the A34 also upgrades to a larger 6.6" Super AMOLED display with a smoother 120Hz refresh rate. Whereas it borrows the same 48MP triple camera and a 5000mAh battery with 25W fast charging from Galaxy A33 5G.Samsung Galaxy A34 5G Specifications:

2. Samsung Galaxy F54
Exynos 1380
When it comes to performance, Galaxy F54 is powered by the same Exynos 1380 chip as Galaxy A54. On paper, it's a pretty capable processor but Samsung hasn't optimized it very well. That's not to say that the phone struggles with casual everyday usage, absolutely not. But be it thermals or gameplay stability, there's a lot of room for improvement. At least Samsung has promised 4 years of OS and 5 years of security updates here, so we can hope the Galaxy F54 ages better with time.Camera-wise, you get a 108MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro sensor here. And in our tests, the phone performed admirably well across various conditions. Galaxy A54 still has better optimization in certain cases but overall, it's a good point-and-shoot camera phone. You can also shoot up to 4K 30 fps videos from this phone but Samsung has disabled OIS for videos.Samsung Galaxy F54 Specifications:
