Best Mobile Phones Under Rs. 10,000 in Nepal [Updated]

Smartphones come at all shapes, sizes, and prices. While the industry gets its buzz the most in terms of the most expensive devices it has to offer, the absolute budget segment is not one to be left unattended either. Now, in the past, there were not many good & cheap phones you could buy for Rs. 10,000 or less. However, with growing competition among the manufacturers, there are a few actual decent offerings. And we’re here to help you out. In this list, we’ve compiled the best phones under NPR 10000 in Nepal you can buy right now.

4. Nokia C1 Plus, Nokia C2

We are kicking off the list with Nokia C1 Plus and Nokia C2. The two devices are similar in both the design and the hardware that they pack. The latter has a slightly larger screen of 5.7-inch compared to Nokia C1 Plus’s 5.45-inch screen. The two devices are powered by quad-core processors with a maximum clock speed of 1.4GHz. They are available in two memory configurations – 1/16GB.

At the back, there is a pill-shaped camera module that houses the 5MP sensor and LED flash. On the front, there is another 5MP camera. This one too is accompanied by a LED flash. There is no fingerprint sensor so you will have to rely on the software-based Face Unlock feature. Another difference between the two is the battery size. The C1 Plus has a 2500mAh battery while the C2 features a 2800mAh battery.

3. Lava Benco V7

Next up, we have the Lava Benco V7. Let’s get real for a second – “Lava” isn’t the brand that pops up to anyone’s mind when it comes to smartphones, not these days. Yet, if any company makes a good phone, they should get the recognition they deserve. And one such phone from Lava is the Benco V7. Featuring a fashionable design at a decent set of hardware, this phone is definitely a good option under Rs. 10,000 in Nepal.

Here, you get a big 6.1-inches LCD display with a teardrop notch that houses the 5MP front-facing camera. Similarly, there’s also an 8MP camera at the back. The 19.5:9 aspect ratio that Benco V7’s got going on for itself makes for a great viewing experience. Since this one doesn’t come with a fingerprint sensor either, it has an impressively fast face-unlock mechanism that can unlock the phone in a mere 0.4 seconds.

Moreover, the phone is powered by the Unisoc SC9832e SoC with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of in-built storage. In terms of battery, it’s got a large 4,000mAh cell, which will easily last a day. However, what’s concerning about the phone is that it runs on the regular Android 9.0 (Pie) instead of its watered-down Go Edition.
