These are the two best smartphones under NPR 35,000 in Nepal

Budget is often a determining factor when purchasing a smartphone. Furthermore, the mid-range market, or the 35,000 price range, is heavily crowded in Nepal, making it difficult to find a smartphone that meets your needs. Likewise, there are a bunch of smartphones such as Galaxy A32, Oppo F19, and Vivo Y51 that could have made their way in our list, but they are all tear-jerkers in one way or another.  So, after testing all the phones currently available under Rs. 35,000 in Nepal, we have picked two smartphones that offer the best value and falls in our recommendation. 

2. Poco X3 Pro - Best Performance under रू 35K 

The Poco X3 Pro needs no introduction. If you want a smartphone that performs well and never leaves your hand in the middle of a game, this is the smartphone for you. After all, it is the only smartphone in Nepal with a Snapdragon 860 chipset that costs less than NPR 35000. This SoC is a reiteration of the top-tier Snapdragon 855+ SoC from 2019, and it will drive through any smartphone game.

Moving on, the addition of a 120 Hz high refresh rate screen and a large-capacity battery makes it an easy winner. However, there are certain blunders as well. The phone has the same form factor as the last year’s Poco X3 and it is relatively bulky as well, which might not give you the sense of premium-ness. Despite the fact that the smartphone captures good images with its 48MP quad-camera system, it isn’t able to compete with the Redmi Note 10 Pro available at a similar price.

• Display: 6.67-inches 120Hz FHD+ IPS LCD, 396 PPI, Gorilla Glass 6

1. Redmi Note 10 Pro - Best All-rounder under रू 35K

The Redmi Note 10 Pro takes the top spot on our ranking. If you're looking for an all-around mid-range smartphone, this is the one to consider. Despite its competing price, the handset has a premium feel to it. The Redmi Note 10 Pro still has all of the bells and whistles that other handset manufacturers have abandoned, such as the headphone jack, the infrared port, and stereo speakers.

The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 732G chipset, which provides a satisfactory gaming and day to day experience. And a 120Hz AMOLED screen, long battery life, will further add to its premium experience. Though these are some of the smartphone's highlights, the phone's UI optimization could be improved. Similarly, the phone has a 108MP camera that can capture decent images, but with such a large sensor, Xiaomi should have surpassed the competition.

Redmi Note 10 Pro (Max) Specifications:

• Display: 6.67-inches 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED, 396 PPI, Gorilla Glass 5
• Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 732G (8nm Mobile Platform)
