[Dec 2020] Best Smartphones Under NPR. 70,000 in Nepal

The price bracket from NPR.40000 to NPR.70000 will obviously have a lot of smartphones from different companies and I don’t want to confuse you, people more by including smartphones that have been launched recently but do not pack enough punch to fall under this price bracket. As in all my other ‘Best under’ smartphone articles, I will also not be including some fancy smartphones from Oppo and Vivo as they are priced pretty high while coming with even 2-year-old features. Here is the list of best smartphones under NPR. 70000 in Nepal.

For now, just sit back and read through this short list and choose any as per your need.  

Mi Note 10 Lite

Even though the pricing is pretty good compared to international pricing, it has no wow factor for a phone of this price range but still deserves a place in this list for its overall features. The best thing that may attract you towards this phone would be its curved back design and premium looks.

OnePlus Nord

I would have highly recommended this smartphone if it was available under NPR 48,000 but it is not. Nonetheless, there is no other smartphone available in Nepal as of now that can have a one-on-one win against this beast. The processor is great for high-end gaming and now PUBG mobile can be played on 90fps on this device. The most important benefit is being able to experience the latest Oxygen OS.
