Best Mobile Phones Under Rs. 50,000 in Nepal [Updated 2025]

With a ton of choices, buying a smartphone can become a confusing adventure for many. And in the Nepali market, the 50K price bracket is probably the trickiest of them all. That’s because this is a category that’s more than midrange yet less than the premium midrangers. 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 under NPR 50000 in Nepal.

How to find the best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal?

As aforementioned, phones under 50K are sort of a middle ground between midrange and premium midrange devices, so their feature set and overall value for money can be a bit tricky to figure out. Anyway, you shouldn’t settle for anything less than a high refresh rate OLED display when buying a phone under NPR 50000. An attractive and durable design is another thing to look out for here.

While an official IP rating is pretty rare in this segment, if that’s a must for you, then Samsung has got you covered. The 2024 Redmi smartphones also bear an official IP68 rating, while Samsung phones usually come with IP67 dust and water resistance as well. Performance shouldn’t be a concern on these smartphones either, whereas you also get a capable camera setup here. Some brands even offer OIS and 4K recording in this price range.

Note: In this list, we have also included a few smartphones that cost more than NPR 50000 — but not by a lot. We’ve done this so that you can further curate your choices, and also because we don’t want you to miss any good deal by spending NPR 1000 – 2000 more. The prices of such products are marked with an asterisk (*) at the end.

Best mobile phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal:

5. Honor X9C

Honor X9C Price in Nepal

Okay, so the Honor X9C is tough. We actually ran it over with a bulldozer in our review – yeah, you read that right – and it just kept on going. The glass held up really well. Besides that, the phone performs smoothly. It’s got a solid display with a high refresh rate, so whether you’re scrolling through social media or just browsing, it’s nice and fluid.

The camera setup is decent too. It’s not going to blow your mind like some flagship models, but it gets the job done, especially when it comes to capturing sharp photos and handling low light better than you’d expect for a phone in this range. Overall, if you’re someone who values durability but still wants something that can handle day-to-day tasks without breaking the bank, the X9C is a solid pick.

Honor X9c Specifications

  • Display: 6.78” curved OLED, 1,224 x 2,700px resolution, 10-bit color, 4,000 nits brightness, 3,840Hz PWM dimming

4. Infinix GT 20 Pro

Infinix GT 20 Pro - Mecha Silver

The recently restocked Infinix GT 20 Pro is exactly what you should get if gaming is your top priority. Because from a powerful Dimensity 8200 Ultimate processor to a graphite sheet + vapor chamber cooling system, the fastest RAM you could find on a smartphone, and a separate Pixelworks X5 display processor, the GT 20 Pro is easily the top choice on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal.

And I’m happy to report that this guy performed impressively in all our gaming tests. Including when playing PUBG at 120 fps, where the Infinix GT 20 Pro managed an incredible 112.75 fps average. Matter of fact, this is the most affordable phone that can play PUBG at 120 fps.

Like I mentioned before, its cooling system is no joke either. Even when playing something as graphically demanding as Genshin Impact, the GT 20 Pro climbed to just around 44°C, which is quite commendable. It has a nice 144Hz AMOLED display too, while the battery life side of things is a solid B+ too. We also found the GT 20 Pro’s 108MP main camera to be surprisingly good for both photos and videos. Although the fact that it doesn’t have an ultrawide shooter is a bummer.

Specifications:

  • Display: 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, FHD+, 144Hz refresh rate
  • Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 8200 Ultimate 5G (4nm mobile platform)
  • Memory: 8/12GB RAM, 256GB storage (expandable)
  • Software & UI: XOS 14 on top of Android 14
  • Rear Camera: Triple (108MP main, 2MP depth, 2MP macro)
  • Front Camera: 32MP sensor (hole-punch)
  • Security: Fingerprint sensor (optical in-display)
  • Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 6 (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.2, GPS / A-GPS / Glonass / Galileo, USB-C, 4G LTE, 5G
  • Sensors: Accelerometer, Geomagnetic, Gyro, Proximity
  • Battery: 5000mAh with 45W charging (45W adapter inside the box)
  • Price in Nepal: NPR 47,499 (12/256GB)

3. Samsung Galaxy A36

Galaxy A36 design

So, the Galaxy A36 is kind of the little brother to the A56. It’s cheaper but still does a lot right? Sure, it’s running on an Exynos chip, so it’s not a gaming monster, but it handles regular tasks just fine. You won’t lag while multitasking or doing regular stuff like browsing or watching videos.

The camera system’s pretty good too, especially for the price. You get a 50MP main camera, which takes some pretty sharp shots, plus an ultrawide lens and a macro lens for up-close shots. It’s versatile, and while it’s not perfect, it’s solid. One thing to keep in mind – no headphone jack, and you can’t expand storage with a microSD card. However, you get an excellent One UI 7, which is both loaded with features and runs on Android 15. The battery is decent as well, supported by a 45W wired charging. Hence, all in all, it’s a really good budget option.

Specifications

  • Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED, 120Hz, 1,200 nits
  • IP Rating: IP67
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 3, 4nm process
  • RAM: Up to 12GB
  • Storage: Up to 256GB (non-expandable)
  • Rear Cameras: 50MP (main) + 8MP (wide-angle) + 5MP (macro)
  • Front Camera: 12MP (HDR video)
  • Battery: 5,000mAh, 45W fast charging

2. Redmi Note 14 Pro+

Redmi Note 14 Pro Plus 5G

The top-end model in Xiaomi’s latest Redmi Note 14 series is what bagged the second place. This guy brings a bunch of flagship features at a mid-range price, like Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection for the display, IP68 dust and water resistance rating, and 120W fast charging.

It has a nice curved finish on both sides and either a glass or leather finish on the back of the phone. And fortunately, this time, the leather variant of Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is available in Nepal. As for the display, it’s got a 6.67-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution, 12-bit colors, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ certification, 3000 nits of peak brightness, and so much more.

Under the hood, the Note 14 Pro+ is powered by a Snapdragon 7s Gen3 chip. It’s a fairly powerful processor for casual everyday usage, multitasking, and even a little bit of gaming. We also like how Xiaomi has been generous with the storage on this thing since you get 256GB of storage in the base model itself. Getting to the optics, it has a triple-camera setup at the back. But it uses the same camera setup as last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro+, a 200MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro unit.

Specifications:

  • Display: 6.67-inches AMOLED screen, FHD+, 120Hz refresh rate, Gorilla Glass Victus 2
  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 5G (4nm)
  • Memory: 8/12GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 512GB UFS 2.2 internal storage (fixed)
  • Software & UI: HyperOS on top of Android 14
  • Rear Camera: Triple (200MP main, 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro)
  • Front Camera: 16MP sensor (hole-punch)
  • Security: Fingerprint sensor (optical in-display)
  • Connectivity: Dual-SIM (Nano), WiFi 6 (dual-band), Bluetooth 5.3, GPS / A-GPS / Glonass / Galileo / Beidou / QZSS, USB-C, NFC, 4G LTE, 5G
  • Sensors: Accelerometer, Ambient light, E-compass, Gyro, Infrared, Proximity
  • Battery: 5110mAh with 120W charging (120W adapter inside the box)
  • Price in Nepal: NPR 49,999 (8/256GB)
  • Buy Redmi Note 14 Pro+ here with Free Vibes 411 TWS

1. Nothing Phone 3a

Nothing phone 3a

Bagging the gold medal on our list of best phones under NPR 50000 in Nepal is none other than the Nothing Phone 3a. Alright, so the Nothing Phone 3a has this slick design – it’s got that cool, minimalistic look that people either love or just don’t get. But what’s actually interesting here is the new camera setup. They’ve added a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x zoom, which is pretty impressive for a phone under 50k. The design is nice, but it’s definitely a love-it-or-hate-it thing.

Performance-wise, it’s pretty solid, thanks to the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 and 12GB of RAM. So, you can expect smooth performance for pretty much everything – apps, gaming, you name it. The battery’s great too, with a 5,000mAh capacity and 50W charging. As for the camera, it’s good, but if you’re really into photography, there are better options out there.

Specifications:

  • Display: 6.77-inch flexible AMOLED, 1080×2392 pixels, 120Hz refresh rate
  • Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 3
  • RAM: 12GB
  • Storage: 256GB
  • Main Camera: Triple setup – 50MP (wide), 50MP (telephoto) with 2x optical zoom, 8MP (ultrawide)
  • Front Camera: 32MP
  • Battery: 5,000mAh with 50W wired charging
  • OS: Android 15 with Nothing OS 3.1

  • Other Features: IP64 dust/water resistant, under-display fingerprint sensor, Essential Space AI hub

Scientists develop world’s smallest dissolving pacemaker

Scientists develop world’s smallest dissolving pacemaker

Northwestern University engineers have created something remarkable – a dissolving pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice that could change how we treat infants born with heart defects. This article will discuss more about the latest dissolving pacemaker in detail.

World’s smallest Dissolving Pacemaker

The Minds Behind the Innovation

Dr. John A. Rogers and Dr. Igor Efimov are leading this groundbreaking project. Their research focuses on creating a temporary cardiac solution that simply disappears when no longer needed, sparing babies from additional surgeries. The team has indicated that eliminating the need for removal procedures is a major advancement, particularly for infants with already fragile hearts.

How It Works

Dissolving Pacemaker

The device is remarkably simple to deploy – it can be delivered via syringe, avoiding major surgery. The system pairs with a soft, flexible patch worn on the baby’s chest that monitors heart rhythm.

When the patch detects an irregular heartbeat, it sends an infrared light pulse through the skin, activating the tiny implanted pacemaker. This approach eliminates the need for wires, programming sessions, or bulky external controllers that accompany traditional pacemakers.

Nature’s Battery

Perhaps the most ingenious aspect is how the device powers itself. Rather than using traditional batteries or wireless charging, the team developed a galvanic cell that uses the body’s own fluids as an electrolyte. The device creates its own power using two different metal electrodes that react with surrounding biofluids – essentially functioning as a tiny biological battery that works just long enough before safely dissolving.

Medical Community Reaction

The medical community has shown significant interest in this technology, particularly pediatric cardiologists who treat infants with congenital heart defects. The potential to reduce the number of surgical interventions could represent both medical benefits for infant patients and emotional relief for families facing challenging cardiac diagnoses.

Beyond the Heart

While cardiac pacing is the initial focus, the research suggests broader applications. The same technology platform could potentially help with nerve regeneration, bone healing, wound treatment, and pain management.

Multiple implants might even be placed and activated by different colored light pulses, opening possibilities for more complex treatment approaches.

Looking ahead

Clinical trials with infants experiencing temporary heart rhythm disorders are expected to begin later this year. If successful, this tiny dissolving device could represent one of the most significant advances in pediatric cardiac care in recent memory.

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come in the smallest packages – in this case, smaller than a grain of rice, but perhaps large enough to change young lives.

LG Super UHD TV AI ThinQ

Coming to the Super UHD TVs, they are similar to UHD TVs in terms of resolution (i.e. 4K). The “Super” doesn’t imply a superior resolution which is 8K. Rather, these TVs have an improved display technology called “Nano Cell,” which offers improved colors, dynamic range, etc.

At its core, a TV is a visual entertainment device, so if you want something better than the regular UHD TV from LG, these are for you. Currently, LG Super UHD TVs with AI ThinQ are out of stock in Nepal.

LG OLED UHD TV AI ThinQ

Now, let’s talk about the best of the bunch, which are LG’s OLED UHD TVs. With their infinite contrast ratio, you won’t find darker darks and whiter whites in other display panels. However, OLED does fall behind in terms of maximum brightness, but that really isn’t that big a deal. There’s the α9 (Alpha9) Intelligent Processor, which is specifically optimized for LG OLED TVs.

You also get what LG calls “Cinema HDR,” which delivers HDR content as originally intended by the filmmaker for that extra sense of realism. Other features include (but are not limited to) Active HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos audio, etc. You also get 1 year of warranty on these TVs.

We might get to see GPT 4.1 as soon as next week!

The AI race keeps accelerating, with new models constantly dropping. In this race, OpenAI has somehow managed to keep itself in the spotlight always. The hype is reaching a new high with the internet in love with the dreamy Ghibli-style content coming from its image models. Riding that wave, OpenAI is getting ready to roll out GPT-4.1 along with some other new models. Let’s get into the depth of the ChatGPT 4.1 rumor.

ChatGPT 4.1 is on its way!

OpenAI is preparing to drop a batch of new AI models. Even though they haven’t officially spilled all the details yet, Tom Warren from The Verge says one of the models is definitely GPT-4.1. One insider even called it a refined version of GPT-4.0, which is honestly exciting, since that model already handled audio, images, and text all at once in real time. The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman teased on X that they’re about to roll out a long-awaited feature, and that kind of tease usually means something pretty major. So, it is most likely a 4.0 model. We might see it go live next week.

Not just that, but also its smaller versions that include GPT-4.1 mini and nano. If that’s true, it could mean faster, lighter models that work on more devices or use less power. Honestly, that would be a big win for everyday users.

Other models

But that’s not all. OpenAI is also working on more models beyond GPT-4.1. They’re close to releasing the full version of their o3 model, and we might also get to see a compact o4 mini soon. AI engineer Tibo Blaho spotted code hints in a new ChatGPT web version that mention o4 mini, o4 mini high, and o3.

That’s a strong sign these are right around the corner. But don’t be surprised if there’s a delay because the sources say they’re facing some serious capacity issues because of the Ghibli thing. Just last month, OpenAI had to limit usage temporarily because of how overloaded their systems were. Sam Altman even joked that GPUs were melting from the massive traffic, especially from free-tier users. So yeah, we will soon get to see the GPT 4.1, but not sure when.

Sony ZV-E1 vlogging camera goes official in Nepal with a full-frame 12MP sensor

Sony ZV-E1 vlogging camera goes official in Nepal with a full-frame 12MP sensor

Sony is a veteran player in the market when it comes to cameras. The company’s ZV Series has been pretty popular among bloggers, thanks to its lightweight and handy form factor. Now, the company has finally launched the  Sony ZV-E1 in Nepal. It features impressive specs such as a BIONZ XR engine, and a full frame 12MP sensor. Let’s get into the specs, features, and expected price of the Sony ZV-E1 in Nepal here.

Sony ZV-E1 Camera Overview:

12MP Full-Frame Sensor

The key highlight of the Sony ZV-E1 camera is its full-frame 12MP CMOS sensor. To note, the previous gen ZV E10 camera had a 1.5X crop lens and this one becomes the first ZV model to use a full-frame one.

For starters, full-frame lenses provide a higher dynamic range and shallow depth of field alongside a wider field of view (FOV) as compared to crop sensors. The latter one takes zoomed-in shots, for example, using a 24mm lens on 1.5X crop sensors will generate 36mm images. On the other hand, full-frame sensors will provide a 24mm output with the same lens.

Sony ZV-E1 Vlog Camera

With a 12MP full-frame unit, the ZV-E1 uses a full-pixel readout with no binning in all modes. This 35-mm CMOS image sensor also ensures better low-light imageries thanks to backside-illuminated (BSI) technology. It can capture up to 4K 60p videos currently but the limit will max out to 120fps, for which Sony plans to air an update, by the way.

Furthermore, the ZV-E1 is capable of 10-bit 4:2:2 videos for more flexibility for color grading. On top of that, the lens gets the support of Sony’s BIONZ XR engine providing precise gradation rendering, color reproduction, and better low-noise performance.

Design

As a vlogging-centric camera, the Sony ZV-E1 is a lightweight machine at just 483 grams. The camera includes a single rear dial and a motor zoom control in place of the front dial. Talking of additional controls, you get three programmable buttons, an Fn button, and Sony’s customary D-Pad.

Sony ZV-E1 Design Body

Likewise, there is a Still/Movie/S&Q switch, product showcase button, and backdrop defocus button as well. The ZV-E1 also sports a tally light that is visible from the top and front. The camera is compatible with all E-mount lenses, including the top-end G Master series.

Touchscreen and Mic

For other camera controls, the camera boasts an LCD touchscreen display. The screen is an articulating type that is flexible to reposition on various angles for capturing vlogs. Moreover, it uses 3 Capsule Microphone for capturing clear audio. Users can set the mic’s directivity to Front, Rear, All Directions, or Auto as per need. And there is no electronic viewfinder as expected on a vlog camera.

Stabilization, AF, AutoFraming

What makes the ZV-E1 so interesting is its 5-axis in-body stabilization. To make use of it, Sony provides two modes: “Active” optical mode and “Dynamic Active” modes. The first one is said to reduce shakes while walking. And the latter one ensures more smoothness for rapid movements with some extra cropping though.

Sony ZV-E1

The vlogging camera borrows the Real-time Recognition AF from its A7R sibling. This helps the lens to detect different subjects like humans, animals, birds, insects, and moving objects like cars/trains, and airplanes.

Moving on, the ZV-E1 also features an AI-based auto-framing mode that crops the frame to keep the subject in focus for those solo vlogging actions. For two persons, it employs multiple face recognition, which modifies the aperture to allow for the sharp focus of both subjects.

It can simultaneously capture two different image types: a full image for an HDMI output and a cropped image for an internal memory card.

Rest of the Specs

Furthermore, the Sony ZV-E1 comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack, a single SD UHS-II card slot, a micro-HDMI output, and a USB-C port. There is no video output via I/O ports but the camera can also act as UVC/UAC webcam with support for up to 4K 30p video via the USB-C port. And users can also transfer files via the Creators’ App on a smartphone.

Sony ZV-E1 Specifications:

  • Lens: 12MP Full-Frame CMOS BSI Sensor
  • Auto Focus: Real-time Recognition, AI Auto Framing
  • Stabilization: 5-axis in-body stabilization
  • Video: Up to 4k 60fps, (120fps to be made available via an OTA update), 10-bit 4:2:2
  • Microphone: 3 Microphones
  • Smartphone Companion App: Creator’s Studio

Sony ZV-E1 Price in Nepal and Availability

The ZV-E1 retails at NPR 260,000 in Nepal. You can buy it from various retail stores across Nepal.

Samsung’s “Ballie” home robot is finally set to launch this summer

Samsung is finally ready to release its long-teased home robot, Ballie. First shown off at CES 2020, Ballie was Samsung’s vision for a friendly AI assistant that roams around your home. After years of development delays and a couple of redesigns, the company has confirmed that Ballie will be available this summer in the US and South Korea. So, what’s new, what can it do, and how does it stand out in the growing home robot scene? Let’s break it down.

What is Samsung Ballie?

Okay.

So, like I mentioned before, the Samsung Ballie home robot was first introduced at CES 2020, with the company aiming to revolutionize home assistance through AI-driven technology. However, over the past five years, the company faced several challenges that delayed its release.

These included technological hurdles in perfecting its AI capabilities and mobility, as well as the need to ensure seamless integration with a wide range of smart home devices. Moreover, the company took a cautious approach to address privacy and data security concerns, all while striving to create a user-friendly and non-intimidating design. These factors collectively contributed to the extended development timeline.

Interacting with Samsung Ballie

Fast forward to CES 2024, Samsung offered a refreshed look at Ballie, showcasing a more refined version of the home assistant. Now, that version is finally making its way to store shelves. Ballie sports a ball-shaped design, rolls around on two wheels, and features a compact form factor that blends naturally into home environments without appearing overly robotic.

What can Samsung Ballie do?

Ballie is more than just a rolling companion. It’s equipped with a projector, speaker, and microphone, which enhance its functionality beyond just being a basic robot. It connects to other smart devices through Samsung’s SmartThings platform, which means Ballie can control various devices like lights and thermostats as well.

Advanced AI and interactive features

One of the biggest upgrades to Ballie lies under the hood. To enhance its intelligence, Samsung partnered with Google Cloud to integrate the Gemini AI model, giving Ballie multimodal capabilities and allowing it to process voice commands, audio, and visual input simultaneously.

When combined with Samsung’s own language models, this enables more natural interactions and better real-time adaptation to its surroundings.

As a result, Ballie can understand voice commands, analyze its environment using its built-in camera, and adjust settings based on user behavior. Over time, it learns routines, recognizes faces, and interprets objects in the room. This means it can offer personalized suggestions, like recommending outfits, sharing health tips, or optimizing home settings for better sleep.

And since Ballie features a built-in projector, it can even display information, videos, or reminders on walls, floors, or other surfaces within the home. This adds a visual element, providing a more interactive way to view updates or content. Together, these features allow Ballie to integrate more naturally into a digital home environment.

Market challenges

Samsung is entering a competitive market where major companies like Apple, Meta, Google, and LG are also developing home robots. While the market for general-purpose robots is still evolving, these devices haven’t yet become mainstream, primarily because many lack a clear, everyday use case.

Compared to other tech giants, Samsung’s approach with Ballie seems more focused on mobile, personalized assistance. While Apple and Google are still rooted in static smart speakers or displays. Meta has its Portal line (now discontinued), and LG has experimented with various robotic concepts, but none have seen a proper consumer release like Ballie is set to receive.

Samsung Ballie Price and Availability

So far, Samsung has yet to disclose the exact pricing details for Ballie, though its advanced capabilities suggest it will be a premium product. Furthermore, global trade concerns, including new tariffs in the US, may be contributing factors to the lack of pricing details.

However, the fact that Ballie is finally reaching consumers in the US and South Korea after a five-year wait is a milestone in itself. And whether Ballie becomes a common device in smart homes or just a rare novelty will depend on how well it works in everyday use once it’s available.
