Best Mobile Under 30000 in Nepal

#5. Realme 9i

We start this list of the best phones under Rs. 30000 in Nepal with the Realme 9i.

Realme 9i has a 6.6 inches IPS LCD panel. It is a 90Hz display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2412pixels.

Powering the Realme 9i is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset. The phone comes in two variants: 4/128GB and 6/128GB. Go for the 6GB RAM variant.

Helio G80 has an Octa-core (2×2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4×1.9 GHz Cortex-A53) CPU and Adreno 610 GPU. While the Snapdragon is a good budget chipset, it is not the best you can get at this price tag.

In the camera department, Realme 9i has a 50MP main sensor, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP B&W sensor. On the front, it gets a 16MP camera sensor.

Realme 9i gets a 5000mAh battery and 33W fast charging support. Furthermore, it runs on Realme UI 2.0 on top of Android 11.

Why Choose Realme 9i?

Good Stuff

It provides a 90Hz display, 33W fast charging, and a 50MP main camera. It also has decent performance with the Snapdragon 680 chipset.

Bad Stuff

For a similar price, Redmi Note 11 provides a 90Hz AMOLED panel. So, it does feel a bit more expensive than other phones on this list, especially when you consider the lack of an ultrawide angle camera.

Summary

Realme 9i is a decent smartphone with good design and average performance, good battery life, fast charging, and a good main camera.

#4. Realme Narzo 50

On the fourth position on our list of best phones under NPR 30000 in Nepal is the Narzo 50.

It gets a 6.6 inches FHD+ 120Hz IPS LCD panel. It has a screen resolution of 1080 x 2412 pixels and 400 PPI density.

Narzo 50 is using the same MediaTek Helio G96 chipset used on Realme 9i. It comes with 4/6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64/128GB UFS 2.1 internal storage.

Helio G96 is a 12nm chipset with Octa-core (2×2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) CPU and Mali-G67 MC2 GPU.

Onto the camera, there’s a triple-camera setup on Narzo 50. The primary is a 50MP main sensor followed by a 2MP macro sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.

On the front, it comes with a 16MP selfie camera.

Narzo 50 has a 5000mAh battery. It uses 33W Fast charging that can provide 100% battery in 90mins. Furthermore, it runs on Realme UI 2.0 on top of Android 11.

Why Choose Realme Narzo 50?

Good Stuff

Narzo 50 has a capable MediaTek Helio G95 chipset. With this, you can rest assured that the performance of the device will be good.

It has a 120Hz IPS LCD display with FHD+ resolution. For the battery, it comes with a 5000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging.

Bad Stuff

Though we get a 120Hz display on the Narzo 50, it misses out on an AMOLED panel. Likewise, it doesn’t have an ultrawide sensor as well.

Summary

The Narzo 50 packs a good chipset that can deliver good performance. The combination of a powerful chipset, a 120HZ FHD display, a huge battery, and fast charging support makes this phone the fourth-best phone under Rs. 30,000 in 2022.

The reason the Samsung Galaxy A22 is higher on the list is the display, camera, and software experience; the Realme UI is good, but Samsung’s One UI is just better. Likewise, A22 has a better camera setup and an AMOLED panel.

Narzo 50 provides a good price-to-performance ratio even though it misses out on AMOLED panel and ultrawide camera. This is the reason Narzo 50 has succeeded to enter the list of the best phones under Rs. 30,000.

#3. Samsung Galaxy A22

Samsung Galaxy A22 takes the third position on our list of the best smartphone under Rs. 30000 in Nepal.

A22 boasts a 6.4-inch HD+ Super AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy A22 is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset—the same chipset used on Samsung M32 and A32. It is paired with 6/128GB of internal storage.

Helio G80 has an Octa-core (2×2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6×1.8 GHz Cortex-A55) CPU and Mali-G52 MC2 GPU.

In terms of camera, A22 uses a 48MP main sensor, 8MP ultrawide angle sensor, 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. The main sensor comes with an OIS. On the front, it comes with a 13MP sensor for selfies.

Powering the A22 is the 5000mAh battery paired with 15W Fast Charging. Furthermore, it runs on OneUI 3.1 on top of Android 11.

Why Choose Samsung Galaxy A22?

Good Stuff

The Samsung Galaxy A22 has the same good stuff as the Galaxy M32 with a great 90Hz Super AMOLED display, same good camera performance, and good battery life.

However, the design of the Galaxy A22 is better than the Galaxy M32. The build quality is the same but the rear finish of the Galaxy A22 feels better and slightly more premium than the Galaxy M32. Also, the main camera of the A22 has OIS.

Contrary to other OS, Samsung’s One UI is really good, and the fact that Samsung is promising two years of major OS upgrades and three years of security patch updates makes this even better.

Bad Stuff

Galaxy A22 features just an HD+ display. This makes it the only phone on this list to feature a lower-resolution HD+ display.

As with the Galaxy M32, it also features an outdated water-drop notch design and an inferior MediaTek Helio G80 chipset. Also, it is the only phone on this list to come with just 15W fast charging.

Summary

Samsung Galaxy A22 is very similar to the Galaxy M32. The only difference here is a better design, a lower-resolution display, and the inclusion of an OIS.

The reason this phone is on top of the Galaxy M32 is because of its better design. It also outperforms the Narzo 50 due to the AMOLED display, better camera performance, and a better software experience.

Although the HD+ display is clearly inferior, the vast majority of users might not notice the difference. And, while the G80 is still a good chipset for everyday work, it falls short of the G95. However, the Samsung phone feels incredibly fluid thanks to the One UI Core’s optimization.

#2. Redmi Note 11

Redmi Note 11 has succeeded to secure the second position on the list of the best mobiles under Rs. 30000 in Nepal.

It has a 6.43 inches FHD+ Super AMOLED 90Hz panel. For the chipset, the Redmi Note 11 comes with a Snapdragon 680.

This chipset comes with 4×2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 cores and 4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 cores, making it an octa-core chipset. It is then paired with 4/6GB RAM and 64/128GB storage.

Fueling the Note 11 is a 5000mAh battery that supports 33W Fast Charging. Furthermore, it runs on MIUI 13 on top of Android 11.

Along with that, the phone features a huge 5000mAh battery, stereo speaker, and 33W fast charging support. The 33W charger is also included in the box.

Bad Stuff

Redmi Note 11 doesn’t have the best camera performance, especially the main sensor. In my review, I found the older Redmi Note 10 to have better camera performance.

Summary

Redmi Note 11 provides a very good overall package with an FHD 90Hz AMOLED panel being its main selling point. Along with that, it has decent performance and average camera performance.

#1. Redmi Note 11S

This chipset comes with 2×2.05 GHz Cortex-A76 cores and 6×2.0 GHz Cortex-A55 cores, making it an octa-core chipset. It is then paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Redmi Note 11S gets an upgraded 108MP sensor, compared to the 64MP sensor of the Redmi Note 10S. Along with that, it has an 8MP ultra wide-angle sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, it has a 16MP selfie camera.

Fueling the Note 11S is a 5000mAh battery that supports 33W Fast Charging. Furthermore, it runs on MIUI 13 on top of Android 11.

Why Choose the Redmi Note 11S?

Good Stuff

Redmi Note 11S comes with a decent Helio G96 chipset. However, the older Helio G95 chipset is slightly better than the Helio G96, especially for gaming.

Along with that, the phone features a FullHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display, a huge 5000mAh battery, stereo speaker, and 33W fast charging support. The 33W charger is also included in the box, unlike Samsung.

Note 11S is also IP53 dust and splash resistant certified. The phone also is lighter compared to the competition and also has a modern design.

Bad Stuff

Redmi Note 11S could have had better performance and it doesn’t have Android 12 as well. On the camera front, it doesn’t support 4K capture.

Summary

The Redmi Note 11S is a well-rounded smartphone that offers good value for money. However, it is not necessarily a significant upgrade to the Redmi Note 10S.

The reason Note 11S is higher on the list is that it has a stereo speaker, IP53 certification, faster UFS 2.2, and a better camera setup compared to the Samsung A22.
