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.
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 buying a phone under NPR 50000. 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. |

Best mobile phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal:
5. Honor X9C
Okay, so the Honor X9C is tough. We actually ran it over with a bulldozer in our review – yeah, you read that right – and it just kept on going. The glass held up really well. Besides that, the phone performs smoothly. It’s got a solid display with a high refresh rate, so whether you’re scrolling through social media or just browsing, it’s nice and fluid.
The camera setup is decent too. It’s not going to blow your mind like some flagship models, but it gets the job done, especially when it comes to capturing sharp photos and handling low light better than you’d expect for a phone in this range. Overall, if you’re someone who values durability but still wants something that can handle day-to-day tasks without breaking the bank, the X9C is a solid pick.

4. Infinix GT 20 Pro
The recently restocked Infinix GT 20 Pro is exactly what you should get if gaming is your top priority. Because from a powerful Dimensity 8200 Ultimate processor to a graphite sheet + vapor chamber cooling system, the fastest RAM you could find on a smartphone, and a separate Pixelworks X5 display processor, the GT 20 Pro is easily the top choice on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal.
And I’m happy to report that this guy performed impressively in all our gaming tests. Including when playing PUBG at 120 fps, where the Infinix GT 20 Pro managed an incredible 112.75 fps average. Matter of fact, this is the most affordable phone that can play PUBG at 120 fps.
Like I mentioned before, its cooling system is no joke either. Even when playing something as graphically demanding as Genshin Impact, the GT 20 Pro climbed to just around 44°C, which is quite commendable. It has a nice 144Hz AMOLED display too, while the battery life side of things is a solid B+ too. We also found the GT 20 Pro’s 108MP main camera to be surprisingly good for both photos and videos. Although the fact that it doesn’t have an ultrawide shooter is a bummer.
Specifications:
- Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, FHD+, 144Hz refresh rate
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate 5G (4nm mobile platform)
- Memory: 8/12GB RAM, 256GB storage (expandable)

3. Samsung Galaxy A36
So, the Galaxy A36 is kind of the little brother to the A56. It’s cheaper but still does a lot right? Sure, it’s running on an Exynos chip, so it’s not a gaming monster, but it handles regular tasks just fine. You won’t lag while multitasking or doing regular stuff like browsing or watching videos.
The camera system’s pretty good too, especially for the price. You get a 50MP main camera, which takes some pretty sharp shots, plus an ultrawide lens and a macro lens for up-close shots. It’s versatile, and while it’s not perfect, it’s solid. One thing to keep in mind – no headphone jack, and you can’t expand storage with a microSD card. However, you get an excellent One UI 7, which is both loaded with features and runs on Android 15. The battery is decent as well, supported by a 45W wired charging. Hence, all in all, it’s a really good budget option.
Specifications
- Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz, 1,200 nits

- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 4nm process

2. Redmi Note 14 Pro+
The top-end model in Xiaomi’s latest Redmi Note 14 series is what bagged the second place. This guy brings a bunch of flagship features at a mid-range price, like Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for the display, IP68 dust and water resistance rating, and 120W fast charging.
It has a nice curved finish on both sides and either a glass or leather finish on the back of the phone. And fortunately, this time, the leather variant of Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is available in Nepal. As for the display, it’s got a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, 12-bit colors, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certification, 3000 nits of peak brightness, and so much more.
Under the hood, the Note 14 Pro+ is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen3 chip. It’s a fairly powerful processor for casual everyday usage, multitasking, and even a little bit of gaming. We also like how Xiaomi has been generous with the storage on this thing since you get 256GB of storage in the base model itself. Getting to the optics, it has a triple-camera setup at the back. But it uses the same camera setup as last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro+, a 200MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro unit.
Specifications:
- Display: 6.67-inches AMOLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass Victus 2
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 5G (4nm)

1. Nothing Phone 3a
Bagging the gold medal on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is none other than the Nothing Phone 3a. Alright, so the Nothing Phone 3a has this slick design – it’s got that cool, minimalistic look that people either love or just don’t get. But what’s actually interesting here is the new camera setup. They’ve added a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom, which is pretty impressive for a phone under 50k. The design is nice, but it’s definitely a love-it-or-hate-it thing.

The battery’s great too, with a 5,000mAh capacity and 50W charging. As for the camera, it’s good, but if you’re really into photography, there are better options out there.
