Best mobile phones under NPR 40000 in Nepal:

6. Infinix Note 40 Pro

Kicking off our list of best phones under NPR 40000 in Nepal is the Infinix Note 40 Pro. Launched as the successor to the Note 30 Pro this new guy boasts impressive improvements on the camera, design, and charging segment. The performance is pretty much the same as both siblings feature the same Helio G99 chip. It gets you 40fps on PUBG while optimized titles like Call of Duty Mobile run at 60fps.

What’s fancy here is its wireless charging support known as MagCharge. You get a compatible 15W Magsafe coil right inside the box with a 70W wired charger, cable, a screen protector. It’s a totally wholesome unboxing experience, unlike the boring slim boxes of some phones (pun intended). It’s got a cool Halo light as well, which glows for music playback, gaming, notifications, and such. Cool… right? Likewise, the display here is also a pretty nice one. In our usage period, the display never failed to amaze us with its super good visual quality. You get a 6.78-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate.

Other than this, the Note 40 Pro has a solid battery backup too. With a 5000mAh battery inside, this guy can easily last a full day under a relatively heavy usage pattern. Whereas you can fill it up in just 47 minutes.

5. Honor X9b

For our fifth-best phone pick under NPR 40,000, we have the Honor X9b that created massive hype back some months ago. Thanks to its stunning anti-drop AMOLED display with a bunch of certifications, a premium-looking build and feel-good performance, and decent cameras for the price.

The display is supposedly protected by Honor’s Kunlun glass and boasts a lot of endurance. It even features a five-star overall drop resistance certification from SGS. Luckily, the phone held up pretty well in our drop and impact tests which you can check out here.

Besides that though, it’s a gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED screen with subtle curves on the sides, which looks like something way above its class. And there are stuff like an in-display fingerprint reader, and 1920Hz PWM dimming to further sweeten the pot.

Moving on, the Honor X9b has a really slim build too (7.98mm thick). Even though it houses a MASSIVE 5800mAh battery with DXOMARK Gold Battery Label inside. Honor promises ‘as good as new’ battery life (>80% capacity) even after 1000 cycles or about 3 years of use.

With the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip and MagicOS 7.2, performance is also good enough and the OS feels very polished for the price. Whereas Honor X9b’s main camera takes pretty nice photos too, but its 5MP ultrawide sensor and the videography side of things are strictly average only.

And the primary camera is pretty good with some poppiness in outputs. While the front unit needs a bit of more tuning. Lastly, powering the phone is a 5000 mAh battery with 67W fast charging and stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. Both of’em are just pretty nice for the price!
