Best Smartphones Under 30000 in Nepal:

Oppo A77s

Oppo A77s leads Nepal’s top phones under NPR 30000. The phone comes in Starry Black and Sunset Orange, with the latter having a unique design. This phone features a fiberglass-leather design like the Oppo F21 Pro, which is pretty interesting. The phone is IP54 dust and splash resistant, rare in this price range.

Oppo A77s is basic else. Qualcomm’s 6nm Snapdragon 680 powers it. This chip is popular in the 30K category, however it lacks processing power. Light multitasking should be fine as the phone has 8GB RAM.

Oppo A77s boasts an HD, 90Hz IPS display in front. A 50MP main and 2MP depth sensor are on the rear. A 33W fast-charging 5000mAh battery powers the phone. Oppo includes a power brick in the packaging.

Samsung Galaxy A23

Samsung significantly decreased the phone’s ridiculous price. This is one of the few Samsung phones under NPR 30000 in Nepal. Samsung’s past two Galaxy A generations’ design language is beautiful.

This guy’s only asset is his good looks. Its 6.4″ PLS LCD screen, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, is mediocre. Samsung optimized the 90Hz refresh rate support. This phone’s 5000mAh battery lasts for days.

Galaxy A23 also has four rear cameras. The 50MP main sensor with OIS, 5MP ultrawide, and 2MP depth and macro sensors are included. Snapdragon 680 with 4/6GB RAM and 64/128GB storage powers the Galaxy A23. Samsung promises 2 years of OS and 4 years of security updates for this phone.

Realme 10

Realme 10 improves smartphone performance. Realme 10’s MediaTek Helio G99 CPU outperforms the Snapdragon 680 in its predecessor.

This lets you play PUBG Mobile at 40 fps and Call of Duty Mobile at 60 fps. Realme 10 averages 80 fps in Mech Arena. Software optimization goes beyond gaming performance. Most of the pre-installed bloatware is removable.

Realme 10’s design and display impress. Realme skipped an ultrawide shooter this time, which hurts the camera. The main camera is 50MP, not 108MP. Under good lighting, the main sensor performed effectively.

Realme 10 Specifications:

• Display: 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, FHD+, 90Hz refresh rate
• Chipset: MediaTek Helio G99 4G (6nm mobile platform)
• Memory: 4/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 64/128GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable)

• Battery: 5000mAh with 33W charging (33W adapter inside the box)
• Price in Nepal: NPR 29,999 (8/128GB)

Redmi Note 11S

The main highlight of this phone is definitely its 108MP primary camera, which is something very few phones offer in this price range. Accompanying it are an 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth unit.

The display specifications here are also equally impressive. You get a 6.43-inch AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and 120Hz touch sampling rate. In addition, the screen features 1000 nits of peak brightness. The front of the screen is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 3—while it is also IP53 certified for dust and water resistance.

Under the hood, it packs MediaTek’s Helio G96 chipset, which is paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. As aforementioned, this sits slightly below Helio G99 in terms of performance, but Helio G96 is a fairly dependable chip in its own right. Redmi Note 11S gets its juice from a 5,000mAh cell that supports 33W fast charging.

Redmi Note 11S Specifications:

• Display: 6.43-inch AMOLED screen, FHD+, 90Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass 3
• Chipset: MediaTek Helio G96 4G (12nm mobile platform)

• Battery: 5000mAh with 33W charging (33W adapter inside the box)
• Price in Nepal: NPR 30,999* (6/128GB)

Honor X8a

Honor X8a has got flat edges, flat frames, and curved corners just like the iPhone 14 series. Its squarish camera housing with big circular camera lenses is also a lot reminiscent of the iPhones. You’re looking at a triple camera array here, including a 100MP primary, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro unit. So if a statement piece is what you’re after, then the Honor X8a definitely delivers on that front.

Coming to the display, it has quite minimal bezels—boasting an impressive 93.6% screen-to-body ratio. But this is still an LCD screen (instead of AMOLED) with a 90Hz refresh rate. As for performance, Honor X8a is powered by a MediaTek Helio G88 chip with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage.
