Best Mobile Phones Under Rs. 50,000 in Nepal [Updated]

With a ton of choices, buying a smartphone can become a confusing adventure for many. And in the Nepali market, the 50,000 price bracket is probably the trickiest of them all. Because, well, this is a category that’s more than mid-range yet less than the premium mid-rangers. 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 NPR 50000 in Nepal.

Best mobile phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal:

10. OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

Kicking off our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the new OnePlus Nord CE 2. As the company deepens its integration with OPPO, OnePlus products have struggled to maintain a distinct identity of their own. And that goes for this phone as well since it is basically the same as the OPPO Find X5 Lite.

MediaTek’s Dimensity 900 chip powers this thing, with 8/12GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. But for a phone that launched in 2022, it still boots on Android 11-based OxygenOS 11.3. At least OnePlus has promised 2 years of platform and 3 years of security updates for the Nord CE 2.

Anyway, the Dimensity 900 is a pretty capable processor and it can handle your everyday tasks just fine—including gaming. Of course, demanding games like Genshin Impact take a toll on this phone but you can expect smooth gameplay under other popular titles like COD and PUBG Mobile under adjusted settings. As such, the phone stays pretty comfortable under a prolonged gaming session too.

90Hz OLED display

Upfront, the Nord CE 2 brings a 6.4″ Fluid AMOLED display with HDR10+ support and a 90Hz refresh rate—although 120Hz is pretty common in this price range. Still, the core quality of this screen is pretty good and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass 5 as well. At just 173 grams, the Nord CE 2 is pretty lightweight while its build quality is also pretty ergonomic.

Moving on, the phone has a triple camera setup at the back led by a 64MP primary sensor with EIS. This is followed by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro shooter. Handling the selfies is a 16MP Sony IMX471 sensor. The phone is fueled by a modest 4500mAh battery with 65W fast charging support.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G Specifications:

• Display: 6.43-inches 90Hz FHD+ Fluid AMOLED, 409 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 900 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)

9. Honor X9a

Next up is the new Honor X9a. This phone is for those who prefer a flashy design above everything else. Available in either Silver or Emerald Green color options, the Honor X9a looks and feels like a premium phone. The matte finish at the back mixed with slim and lightweight build quality means this phone wins big points as far as ergonomics is concerned. And that bold circular camera ring at the back is something of a conversation piece as well.

But the actual cameras on this phone are not that inspiring. There’s a triple camera array inside the aforementioned camera ring, which includes a 64MP main, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens. But we found that Honor hasn’t optimized the cameras that well. And its ultrawide sensor is especially underwhelming for a premium mid-range phone. Honor X9a also lacks optical image stabilization (OIS), while there’s no EIS for videos either.

Not the best performance

Its performance is just so-so too. Snapdragon 695 is a good processor for regular everyday usage, but it would’ve been nicer if Honor had gone with something more powerful like the Snapdragon 778G or Dimensity 1080 instead. This chip has been complemented by a healthy 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. As for software, the phone runs on Android 12-based Magic UI 6.0. This custom Android skin is free of any unnecessary bloatware apps and is quite stable too.

Even though the Honor X9a is a pretty slim phone measuring just 7.9mm thin, the company has managed to pack a massive 5100mAh battery on this thing. As a result, its battery life is absolutely fantastic; managing to last a full day and more. And with the 40W charger that’s included inside the box itself, you can fill it up in a little under an hour.

But the biggest highlight of this phone is definitely its display. The Honor X9a has a gorgeous 6.67″ curved AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and minimal bezels on all four sides that looks stunning. The company has also ensured its durability by using something called “Deepy Re-inforced Glass”, which supposedly survives the toughest drops, bumps, or other unpleasant impacts. We did our own drop tests on the phone and were quite impressed with how it survived them all without any trouble.

Honor X9a Specifications:

• Display: 6.67-inches 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED, 395 PPI
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 8GB RAM, 256GB storage (fixed)
• Software & UI: Android 12 with Honor’s Magic UI 6.0 on top
• Rear Camera: Triple (64MP main, 5MP ultrawide, 2MP macro)
• Front Camera: 16MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: In-display (optical)
• Connectivity: Hybrid Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Dual-band), Bluetooth 5.1, GPS / AGPS / Glonass / Galileo / Beidou, NFC, USB-C, 5G
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Ambient Light, Gravity, Gyroscope, Proximity, Compass
• Battery: 5100mAh battery with 40W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 45,990 (8/256GB)

8. Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G

Heading up the top 8 entries in our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the new Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. It’s a slightly upgraded version of the standard Mi 11 Lite 4G which was also available in Nepal. The main differences between the two phones are the upgraded processor and a bigger 20MP selfie camera on the 5G model.

What this means is that the phone is incredibly lightweight and slim. And if you were tired of carrying a bulky smartphone in your pocket, then this is something you can consider. Apart from its friendly build quality, the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G is quite a powerful phone as well. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G, we have no complaint about its performance standard.

It can handle basic everyday tasks with ease—although it does struggle against demanding games like Genshin Impact at its highest settings. On top of this, Xiaomi’s MIUI still hosts a lot of room for improvement. However, the company has promised 3 years of platform and 4 years of security updates on this phone, which is great news.

Delightfully decent cameras

While mid-range and premium mid-range phones from Xiaomi have always had mediocre camera performance, this one’s an exception. It doesn’t carry a telephoto lens but its 64MP triple camera array is quite capable. Compared to the Galaxy M52, we found that the 11 Lite NE holds up quite well in terms of photography—while outpacing the M52 when it comes to videos.

The 6.55″ AMOLED display up front is also a delight to look at. It has HDR10+ and Dolby Vision HDR for those punchy color reproduction with excellent contrast. Our only complaint with this display is that it refreshes at just 90Hz whereas most other phones in this price bracket feature a smoother 120Hz refresh rate.

In terms of battery, fueling the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE is a modest 4250mAh cell that can deliver about 5 – 6 hours of screen on time under light to medium usage. Thankfully, the company ships a compatible 33W charger inside the box, which takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes to fill up its battery.

Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G Specifications:

• Display: 6.55-inches 90Hz FHD+ AMOLED, 402 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128/256GB UFS 2.2 storage (expandable)
• Software & UI: Android 11 with Xiaomi’s MIUI 12.5 on top
• Rear Camera: Triple (64MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP telemacro)
• Front Camera: 20MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: Side-mounted
• Connectivity: Hybrid Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Dual-band), Bluetooth 5.1, GPS / AGPS / Glonass / Beidou / NavIC, NFC, USB-C, 5G
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Ambient Light, Gyroscope, Proximity, Electronic Compass, Linear Motor, IR Blaster
• Battery: 4250mAh battery with 33W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 45,999 (8/128GB) | NPR 48,999 (8/256GB)

7. Samsung Galaxy M52 5G

At number seven on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the Samsung Galaxy M52 5G. Compared to other ‘M’ series phones like the M62, this one’s quite a unique entry.

By that, I mean how Samsung has installed a relatively small 5000mAh battery on this phone—while we’re used to seeing even a 7000mAh battery in this lineup.

As a result, the Galaxy M52 5G is one of the most lightweight Samsung phones you could find right now. Plus, the phone measures just 7.4mm thick. All in all, despite being a big phone, M52 doesn’t feel nearly as bulky or uncomfortable in the hands—although I will say that it is a bit wide. Apart from the comfortable build quality, this phone has competent specs in other departments as well.

A capable chipset

For starters, it is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G 5G chipset with 6/8GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage. While it doesn’t compare against POCO F3’s Snapdragon 870, this is more than capable of all your medium to even demanding workloads. And it brings a decent camera setup too, which includes a 64MP primary, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 5MP macro lens.

In our experience, we’ve been impressed with its photography capabilities. But since it lacks OIS like the more expensive Galaxy A52s 5G, videos come off rather shaky. Anyway, M52 also has a sweet 6.7″ Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate although it doesn’t embed an optical fingerprint reader. Here, Samsung has provided a side-mounted fingerprint scanner instead.

Samsung Galaxy M52 5G Specifications:

• Display: 6.7-inches 120Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED Plus, 393 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128GB UFS 2.1 storage (expandable)
• Software & UI: Android 11 with One UI 3.1
• Rear Camera: Triple (64MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro)
• Front Camera: 32MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: Side-mounted
• Connectivity: Hybrid Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.0, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / Beidou / QZSS, NFC, USB-C, 5G
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Proximity, Gyro, Compass
• Battery: 5000mAh battery with 25W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 42,999 (6/128GB) | NPR 45,999 (8/128GB)

6. Samsung Galaxy A33 5G

At number six in our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the Samsung Galaxy A33 5G. The phone originally launched at NPR 46,999 for the 8/128GB variant here, although it received a massive price drop by NPR 5,000 (but a price hike by NPR 1,000 again). Because of this (and a few other factors), the Galaxy A33 is now finally recommendable.

For starters, it features a powerful Exynos 1280 chip inside. Granted this processor was quite under-optimized back when the phone made its debut, but Samsung has since pushed a bunch of software updates that have made the Galaxy A33 a lot more fluid and responsive.

Gaming’s still a bit of a gray area as the phone still can’t run most popular games at high settings, but hopefully, that will be resolved with future updates. Besides gaming, the Galaxy A33 delivers a top-notch software experience. It runs on Samsung’s One UI 4.1 based on Android 12 out-of-the-box, and the company even promises 3 generations of OS and 4 years of security updates.

Class-leading design and build quality

Apart from the best-in-class software support, the Galaxy A33 is also IP67 dust/water-resistant. In fact, it’s one of the very few devices on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal to bring an IP67 rating. On the other hand, its design is pretty attractive too. Pair that with the matte finish at the back and a handy form factor, the A33 is one of the most attractive mid-range phones out there.

Up front, it has a great 6.4″ 90Hz Super AMOLED display. While its color reproduction and brightness levels are fine and all, unfortunately, Samsung has gone with a teardrop notch here. Likewise, the Galaxy A33 brings a quad-camera array at the back led by a 48MP primary lens with OIS.

Complementing this is an 8MP ultrawide, a 5MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. Overall, it shoots pretty decent photos during the day; while its low-light photography could be a little more optimized. Moving on, the Galaxy A33 is fueled by a large 5000mAh battery that easily lasts a whole day. It supports 25W fast charging and you’re gonna have to buy a compatible power brick separately because Samsung isn’t offering one inside the box.

Samsung Galaxy A33 5G Specifications:

• Display: 6.4-inches 90Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED, 411 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Samsung Exynos 1280 5G (5nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128/256GB UFS 2.1 storage (expandable)
• Software & UI: Android 12 with One UI 4.1
• Rear Camera: Quad (48MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, 2MP depth)
• Front Camera: 13MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: In-display (optical)
• Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.1, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / Beidou / QZSS, NFC, USB-C, 5G
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Proximity, Gyro, Geomagnetic, Hall, Light
• Battery: 5000mAh battery with 25W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 42,999 (8/128GB)

5. POCO F3

Similarly, taking the fifth spot on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal goes to the POCO F3. Above all, Xiaomi Nepal deserves some serious credit for bringing such in-demand phones in the country at a pretty comparable price. And here, the POCO F3 is undoubtedly one of the best value-for-money phones you could buy for under 50K in Nepal. That’s primarily because of its high-performance Snapdragon 870 chipset.

A powerful performer

Here, although Qualcomm simply rehashed last year’s Snapdragon 865+ with a slight boost in clock frequency, the 870 is still a flagship-grade chip. Still, it doesn’t quite compare to this year’s flagship chipset from the company. Besides this, the phone brings 6 or 8GB of LPDDR5 RAM and either 128 or 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

All of this easily makes POCO F3 the best-performing phone in its class—and therefore also the best gaming phone under NPR 50000 in Nepal. Similarly, it brings a pretty impressive display as well. You get a 6.67 AMOLED screen a 120Hz refresh rate and Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

But despite housing an OLED display, POCO has implemented a side-mounted fingerprint sensor here. While the performance aspect of the device is solid as a rock, its cameras are sub-par only. You get a triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP main, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 5MP tele-macro sensor. Not to forget, it also lacks OIS. Since this phone launched in Nepal more than a year ago, its current availability might be limited.

POCO F3 Specifications:

• Display: 6.67-inches 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED, 395 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 (7nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR5 RAM, 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage (fixed)
• Software & UI: Android 11 with MIUI 12 for POCO
• Rear Camera: Triple (48MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 5MP telemacro)
• Front Camera: 20MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: Side-mounted
• Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.1, GPS / Glonass / Galileo / Beidou / NavIC, USB-C, 5G
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Proximity, Gyro, Hall, Ambient light, Electronic compass
• Battery: 4520mAh battery with 33W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 46,999 (6/128GB)

4. Realme 9 Pro+

Likewise, the Realme 9 Pro+ is our number four pick in this list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal. This is the first “Pro+” phone in Realme’s number series and it’s got a healthy spec sheet to back up that stature. And its biggest highlight is definitely the cameras. At the back, Realme has gone with a triple camera array.

This consists of the flagship 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor with OIS alongside an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. And on our test, we found that the phone takes great photos during both day and night—although they do look a bit oversaturated sometimes. As expected, Realme has disabled OIS on 4K resolution but 1080p videos at either 30 or 60 fps come out pretty stable from the phone.

Besides cameras, the Realme 9 Pro+ has a solid design as well. The phone is quite slim and lightweight. And if you’re someone who likes a flashy design, you might find its shimmery look to be right at home. Having said that, it has quite a significant bottom bezel on the front which doesn’t seem “Pro+” at all.

No 120Hz refresh rate

In terms of display, the Realme 9 Pro+ has a 6.4″ Super AMOLED panel. And like the Nord CE 2 above, it also refreshes at 90Hz—while the touch sampling rate can go as high as 360Hz when you’re gaming. This display produces excellent colors and contrast, and it’s Widevine L1 certified to stream content at FHD resolution too. Moreover, the 9 Pro+ easily has the best-in-class haptics.

As for performance, the phone is powered by Dimensity 920 which is similar to Snapdragon 778G. So, you can expect fluent everyday performance on the 9 Pro+. We did notice the phone getting hot when playing graphics-hungry games but that’s to be expected from such a light phone. But what’s surprising is that its 4500mAh battery easily delivers one day’s worth of screen-on time!

Realme 9 Pro+ Specifications:

• Display: 6.4-inches 90Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED, 409 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128/256GB UFS 2.2 storage (fixed)
• Software & UI: Android 12 with Realme UI 3.0 on top
• Rear Camera: Triple (50MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro)
• Front Camera: 16MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: In-display (optical)
• Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.2, GPS / AGPS / Glonass / Beidou, USB Type-C, 5G
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Light, Proximity, Gyro, Magnetic induction
• Battery: 4500mAh battery with 60W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 42,999 (6/128GB) | NPR 45,999 (8/128GB)

3. Samsung Galaxy A52s

The bronze medalist in our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the Samsung Galaxy A52s. While it originally debuted at over 50 thousand Rupees, Samsung Nepal discounted the phone and its 6/128GB variant thus fits in our list. But its availability is quite limited these days so you’re gonna have to hurry up if you want to buy the A52s 5G.

Anyway, its biggest talking point is definitely the cameras. Be it daytime or lowlight, landscape or human subjects, A52s takes excellent photos. The onboard OIS helps take stable images of moving subjects or when it’s dark as well—although don’t expect it to do much in terms of videography.

Besides cameras, the A52s is a visual treat too. That pastel color profile mixed with the ergonomic build quality is in a class of its own. Samsung is even offering IP67 dust/water protection here, which is something no other phone in this price range manage. So if you are someone who’s not particularly as careful with their phone, the Galaxy A52s does offer some peace of mind.

Terrific display

As expected, the display side of things is pretty solid too. The phone houses a 6.5″ Super AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sampling rate. So, this screen produces amazing colors and contrast so that you can enjoy binging your favorite shows in peace. Its stereo speaker setup gets loud enough and sounds fairly balanced too.

In terms of performance, the Galaxy A52s is powered by Snapdragon 778G which is a pretty reliable processor. And yes—the 8GB RAM variant does cost NPR 2,000 more—but we’ll strongly suggest chipping in the extra money for higher memory. Not only is it the ideal choice for fluent multitasking, but 8GB memory also ensures that the phone ages better with time.

Samsung Galaxy A52s Specifications:

• Display: 6.5-inches 120Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED, 405 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128/256GB storage (expandable)
• Software & UI: Android 11 with Samsung’s One UI 3.1 on top
• Rear Camera: Quad (64MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 5MP macro, 5MP depth)
• Front Camera: 32MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: In-display (optical)
• Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (Dual-band), Bluetooth 5.0, GPS / AGPS / Glonass / Galileo / Beidou, NFC, USB Type-C
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Gyro, Geomagnetic, Hall, Light, Virtual Proximity

2. Xiaomi 12 Lite

Xiaomi has been steadily stepping up its game in the premium mid-range and flagship category for quite some time now. And last year’s Xiaomi 12 Lite is a terrific example of that. This is a great all-rounder phone which brings a harmonious balance between crucial aspects like design, display, performance, and cameras. Starting with the design, the Xiaomi 12 Lite is available in three, fun color options: pink, green, and black.

For unique aesthetics, Xiaomi has also gone with a boxy, flat-edge design just like the latest iPhones. And weighing just around 173 grams, this phone feels super lightweight and comfortable to hold as well. Yet, we would’ve liked it more if the company had at least offered IP53 dust and splash resistance here like on the Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G above.

120Hz AMOLED display

Getting to the display, Xiaomi 12 Lite has a 6.55″ Full HD AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision HDR, and so much more. So for content consumption (or just about everything else), this is a fantastic display to look at. Xiaomi has also complemented it with a decent set of stereo speakers. However, you don’t get a 3.5mm headphone jack here.

In terms of performance, the 12 Lite is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G 5G processor. And as we know, this is quite a reliable performer overall, so you won’t face any sort of stutters or delay under normal everyday tasks. But in order to maintain that sleek design language, Xiaomi has had to compromise on the cooling system here. As a result, the Xiaomi 12 Lite can’t handle long, continuous gaming sessions all that well.

For photography, it comes with a 108MP main, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro camera at the back. And based on our testing, we found that the 12 Lite can in fact take decent photos under ample lighting conditions with good details and dynamic range from that primary camera. The battery life from its 4300mAh cell is just average though, failing to last a full day on 100% charge.

Xiaomi 12 Lite Specifications:

• Display: 6.55-inches 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED, 402 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G (6nm Mobile Platform)
• Memory: 6/8GB LPDDR4X RAM, 128/256GB storage (expandable)
• Software & UI: Android 12 with Xiaomi’s MIUI 13 on top
• Rear Camera: Triple (108MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro)
• Front Camera: 32MP sensor (hole-punch)
• Fingerprint sensor: In-display (optical)
• Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 6, 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax (Dual-band), Bluetooth 5.2, GPS / AGPS / Galileo / Beidou / QZSS, NFC, USB Type-C
• Sensors: Accelerometer, Ambient light, Proximity, Gyro, E-compass, IR blaster
• Battery: 4300mAh battery with 67W Charging
• Price in Nepal: NPR 50,999* (6/128GB)

1. Realme 10 Pro+

Finally, our number one pick in this list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is the new Realme 10 Pro+. Compared to the 9 Pro+ above, Realme really went above and beyond with this phone; especially in terms of display. While curved screens have almost always been present only on high-end smartphones, the Realme 10 Pro+ brings a similar experience in the mid-range segment.

And it’s not an unpleasantly steep curve or anything either. This screen has a 61° curvature which walks a fine line between a premium look and feel, and minimal mistouches. Besides, this 6.7″ display also looks great for everyday usage or media consumption thanks to features like 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, 100% DCI-P3 colors, and 800 nits peak brightness.

Curved display + curved design

As for the design, Realme has matched the curved display with curved edges at the back so the phone feels quite comfortable to hold as well. Despite a large screen and a big 5000mAh battery, the 10 Pro+ is less than 8mm thick and weighs around 172.5 grams only. It would’ve been nice if Realme managed to give some form of IP rating here, but oh well.

Getting to the cameras, the Realme 10 Pro+ carries a triple camera setup at the back led by a 108MP main sensor. Then there’s an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro camera, whereas it has a 16MP selfie shooter up front. Unfortunately, there’s no OIS this time, although Realme has tried to somewhat compensate for that by embedding the image processing pipeline from its flagship smartphones here.

Powering the Realme 10 Pro+ is MediaTek’s Dimensity 1080 5G chip with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Software-wise, it boots on Android 13-based Realme UI 4.0 out-of-the-box. There’s also 2 generations of OS and 3 years of security updates in the cards for this guy. The phone supports 67W fast charging and you get an 80W power adapter inside the box itself.

Realme 10 Pro+ Specifications:
