Are you thinking of buying an iPhone in Nepal? You have come to the right place. There are two ways to get yourself Apple’s latest range of iPhones in Nepal. The first is via a grey channel, and the other is from an authorized channel. In this article, we will discuss all the available iPhone models you can buy from an authorized channel in Nepal, along with their specifications and official price.
iPhones in Nepal Overview:
Generation Next Communications Pvt. Ltd. is the sole authorized official distributor of Apple products in Nepal. Apple products include iPad, iMac, MacBooks, and iPhones. The company has different lineups of iPhones in Nepal with different variants to fit the interests of different types of customers.
Also, check out the new available iPhone 16 lineups
The older models, 14 Pro Series and 15 Pro Series are no longer available in Nepal through the authorized channel. However, you might get these older models from the grey channels. Anyway, to know whether the iPhone you bought in Nepal is from an authorized channel or not, you can follow either of the following steps:
Check the Generation Next hologram sticker on the box of your iPhone
Buy your iPhone from Authorised sellers like Hukut Store, Oliz Store, and Evo Store
Enter the IMEI number on Genxt Nepal’s website.
SMS genxt<space>Service Tag no. to 34001
Get an Extended Warranty with Shield Pro on the iPhone 16 Series
For a phone that costs a premium, does require some extra care. Otherwise, the repair cost is also on the same (expensive) side. But fear not, if you have purchased the iPhone 16 Series from an authorized medium in Nepal like Hukut, Oliz Store, or Evo Store, you can get an extended warranty service. This is brought to you by Shield Pro. Here’s what you will get:
Front Screen Replacement – Twice within 2 years
Back Panel Replacement – Twice within 2 years
Extended Warranty – 1 additional year
However, you might need to pay little as a service charge, 5,000 rupees for instance. But it’s way cheaper than paying the full repair amount. Most importantly, the grey import of iPhones is rising due to MDMS being inactive for the time being. So, it’s a pretty commendable extended warranty service brought by GenNXt, the official distributor of Apple products in Nepal. Also, we always recommend you to go for authorized products and it makes much more sense now.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max features excellent display quality, impressive battery life, and powerful performance powered by the A18 Pro chipset. It also boasts a durable Ceramic Shield and exceptional video recording capabilities. The phone has a similar design to its predecessor with some minor changes like thinner bezels or a new camera button. However, it has some drawbacks, including minimal camera upgrades and limited charging speeds.
Despite feeling like an incremental upgrade, the iPhone 16 Pro Max remains attractive for iPhone 11, 12 or even 13 users looking to upgrade. Those seeking more significant improvements may consider waiting for next year’s model.
iPhone 16 Pro Max Specifications:
Colors: Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, Desert Titanium

3. iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 packs a serious punch with its A18 SoC, delivering top-tier performance for everything from gaming to multitasking. You’ve got a stunning 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display that hits a peak brightness of 2000 nits, making it perfect for outdoor use. The camera system is also impressive, featuring a 48MP main lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, which significantly improves low-light photography. Plus, with 8GB of RAM and storage options up to 512GB, you’re set for a smooth experience
On the flip side, the iPhone 16 doesn’t come without its drawbacks. The 60Hz display refresh rate is a letdown, especially when many competitors are pushing higher refresh rates for a smoother experience. And let’s not ignore the high price tag in Nepal, which could make potential buyers think twice. Limited camera upgrades from the iPhone 15 also make it less appealing for those looking for a significant leap in photography capabilities. So, if you’re not all-in on the A18’s performance and AI features, you might be better off snagging the iPhone 15, especially with its expected price drop.

6. iPhone 15
It is the smallest iPhone of 2023. It sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display — even smaller than the Plus model. Apple has added Dynamic Island to this entry-level model. Outside of the smaller screen and portable form factor, there is not much difference between the vanilla iPhone 15 and the Plus model. Design-wise, it has the same contoured aluminum build with color-infused back glass and a layer of Ceramic Shield on the front. It packs the same A16 Bionic chip and flaunts the 48MP + 12MP dual camera setup, along with a USB 2.0 Type-C port.
iPhone 15 Specifications:
Dimension: 147.6 x 71.6 x 7.8mm, 171 grams

The phone is powered by an A15 Bionic chip with a 5-core GPU that outperforms its predecessor by 18%. It comes with storage capacities of 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
Other features: Water and dust resistance (IP68), Stereo speakers
Battery: 3279 mAh, 20W wired charging, 15W MagSafe / 7.5W Qi Wireless Charging (No adapter included in the box)
iPhone 14 Price in Nepal: NPR 89,300 (128GB)
8. iPhone 13
While the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro have been discontinued, Apple still sells the iPhone 13 at a discounted price in Nepal and worldwide. It features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR panel that still has a 60Hz refresh rate compared to the 120Hz on Pro-models.
Likewise, it has the same flat edge design that iPhones are known for and is available in four color options: (PRODUCT)RED, Starlight, Midnight, Blue, and Pink. As with the rest of the iPhone 13 lineup, it is powered by the A15 Bionic chip. At the back, the dual-camera setup now has an improved primary sensor with sensor-shift OIS.
Other features: Water and dust resistance (IP68), Stereo speakers
Battery: 3,095mAh, 20W wired charging, 15W MagSafe / 7.5W Qi wireless charging (no power adapter provided)
iPhone 13 Price in Nepal: NPR 79,100 (128GB)
9. iPhone 11
Although the iPhone 11 is plenty of years old, it’s still available for purchase in Nepal. This means that the iPhone 11 is now available at a much lower price, making it one of the most affordable iPhones currently on the market in Nepal.
And although the name may not say so, it’s the literal successor of the iPhone XR. The handset comes with a handful of upgrades over its predecessor, because of which it’s still quite in demand in the market.
The major upgrade here, from the iPhone XR, is in the cameras. Apple has included an additional lens on the back. That means the new iPhone 11 comes with a dual-camera setup. In addition to the 12MP primary shooter, you get another 12MP wide-angle camera. Even the selfie snapper has received an upgrade. You get a 12MP front camera here, which promises to capture amazing selfies.
Apart from that, the iPhone 11 comes with IP68 dust and water resistance, a slightly bigger battery, and, more importantly, a powerful processor. However, Apple has included an HD display on the phone yet again, which is a bummer. Talking more about the display, it’s a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina IPS panel. Besides that, it is powered by the latest Hexa-core Apple A13 Bionic chipset, which is the same chipset in the Pro & the Pro Max variant.
iPhones have always been a popular choice among Nepalese consumers due to their long-term reliability and top-shelf features. They continue to offer a premium user experience with their annual flagship launches, the latest being the iPhone 15 series. However, the price of the iPhone is quite expensive in Nepal, making them a status symbol for many. So, we hope that the company will introduce a more aggressive pricing strategy to attract even more smartphone enthusiasts in Nepal.

After its split from Huawei, Honor is bouncing back into the global market with a lineup of mid-range and flagship smartphones. Along the same line, the brand has now made a comeback in Nepal with a new authorized distributor. In this post, we will go through a list of Honor mobiles that are available in Nepal, along with their specifications, features, availability, and official price.
Honor: Brand Overview
To reiterate, Honor is a prominent Chinese smartphone company that was founded in 2013 as a sub-brand of Huawei. While the latter is focused on the high-end and offline market, Honor debuted as an online-focused brand with a range of low-cost and mid-range handsets.
However, when the Huawei ban went into effect in 2019, things changed drastically for both corporations. This barred smartphone manufacturers from utilizing the resources of American corporations, which meant they no longer had access to Qualcomm, Google, and other tech giants’ products and services.
This has significantly impacted both companies, especially in their mobile division. To address this, Huawei sold Honor to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology, which opened the way for Honor to resume using Google Mobile Services (GMS) on its handsets.
Since then, the company has been riding high in the global market. The brand has made a successful comeback with its flagship number series, as well as entered into the foldable arena with the Honor Magic V.
Honor in Nepal
Honor made its formal debut in Nepal in 2018 through Kratos Technologies Pvt. Ltd. But, this was before the US sanctions and its split with Huawei. Now, as the company is trying to gain a firm foot in the global market under a new holding, it has also opted to go with new management and a distributor in Nepal. Honor is also trying to get into the flagship segment through devices like the Magic 5 Pro.
The brand has now appointed Celltron Nepal Pvt. Ltd. as the official distributor of Honor smartphones in Nepal. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all Honor mobiles in Nepal, along with their specs and official price in Nepal.
The Honor X5b is the latest offering in the X5 Series. It brings a Helio G36 Octa-core chip designed for budget phones. Paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, you can expect a decent performance alongside light gaming. For photography, there is a 13MP main camera and a 5MP selfie snapper. In terms of display, the Honor X5b features a 6.56-inch TFT LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and HD+ resolution. Lastly, fueling this guy is a 5200mAh battery with slow 10W wired charging support.
Honor X5b Specifications:
Display: 6.56-inches HD+ TFT LCD, 90Hz
Resolution: HD+ (1600 x 720 pixels)
Chipset: MediaTek Helio G36 (12nm Mobile platform)
Memory: 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage

It has uniform bezels with a raindrop notch, giving it a budget-friendly yet acceptable design. The device sports a glass front with a plastic back and midframe, with a rectangular cutout for the camera and LED flash. Powering the phone is the MediaTek Helio G36 chipset, a 12nm processor with eight Cortex-A53 cores. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card slot.

Security: Fingerprint scanner (side-mounted)
Battery: 5,200mAh, 10W wired charging
Price in Nepal: Rs. 14,499 (4/64GB)
3. Honor X6b
The Honor X6b is a fresh new budget lineup offering from a UK-based company in Nepal. This guy brings a Helio G85 chip, paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Which should offer decent enough performance for the sub-20K segment. The key USP here is the 5-star drop-resistant display. This TFT-LCD panel stretches at 6.56 inches diagonally and boasts a 90Hz refresh rate.
As for the optics, you get a dual camera setup: a 50MP main camera and a useless 2MP depth camera. Meanwhile, a 5MP camera is present under the U-shaped notch for selfies and video calls. Likewise, fueling the phone is a 5200mAh silicon carbon battery with 35W wired fast charging support.
The Honor X7 series is coming together with a new ‘X7c’ added to the lineup in the sub 25,000 rupee market. It’s got a slightly more powerful Snapdragon 685 chipset than it’s ‘a’ and ‘b’ siblings and plenty of memory with a sole 8/256GB configuration. But the headlining feature here is an IP64 rating alongside a 5-star drop resistance claim. The phone is an SGS Antidrop and Crush certified and the brand claims a water wash test of up to 3 mins submerged. Anywhoo, the tough durability doesn’t come at the expense of a good-looking design though as the X7c is as stylish as ever, especially in that ‘Forest Green’ faux leather colorway.
The weak link here is definitely the TFT LCD screen. It measures 6.77 inches, can display over 16 million colors, and goes up to 800 nits, but the resolution is just 720p. The refresh rate at 120Hz is definitely an improvement over the X7b’s 90Hz, but the X7c surprisingly downgrades the resolution from FHD+ to just HD. The rest of the specs look good on paper though with a 108MP main camera (misses out on an ultrawide though), stereo speakers, a large 6000mAh cell, and 35W fast charging.
Honor X7c Specifications:
Display: 6.77-inches HD TFT LCD, 120Hz refresh rate
Chipset: Snapdragon 685 (6nm)
Memory: 8GB RAM, 256GB internal storage
Software & UI: Magic UI 8.0 based on Android 14

Other than that, you get a triple camera setup with a 108MP primary camera, a 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro unit. Upfront, there is a 50MP selfie snapper.
Under the hood, the device gets a Snapdragon 680 SoC, fabbed under a 6nm process. As it’s a budget midrange chip, it’s just okay for social media usage and some light gaming on the go.
