Since this price bracket (Best Smartphones Under 30000 in Nepal) has the highest number of smartphone sales in Nepal, companies like Xiaomi, Samsung, and realme give us consumers a tough competition to choose from. Even though entry-level mid-range smartphones fall under this price range, in 2020, they are not that far behind in terms of modern features available in flagship smartphones.
So, let us look at the Pros and Cons of the latest mid-range smartphones available in Nepal. Then you can choose any from this list as per your need.
Here’s the list of Best Smartphones Under 30000 in Nepal
Realme 7i
Though it has downsides like an slower and cheaper Snapdragon processor and 720p display, the display panel having tested myself isn’t that bad. I would still advise adding some money and hopping to the under NPR. 40k territory, but if you are in a tight budget and you want that faster 90Hz refresh rate, this is the phone to go for. Also, this is the only smartphone in this list to have a 8GB+128GB configuration. Oh ! Don’t forget the 64MP quad-camera setup that can’t do 4K.
