Which are the best phones in 2025? And what factors should you consider before making a purchase? Here in this article, you’ll find all the useful info and our best phone picks for 2025. Before heading to our top picks and buying guides, let’s have a glance at the history, trends, and types of smartphones in general.
Best Phone in Nepal 2025 Overview
History of Mobile Phones
Mobile phones have been a boon for the present-day world. But where did it begin from? If we turn some pages back in history, the first mobile phone (prototype) was demonstrated by Martin Cooper of Motorola back in 1973. It weighed around 2 kg. Meanwhile, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone in 1979 became the first company to launch the first commercial automated cellular network analog (1G). The technology continued to spread across Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Meanwhile, the year of 1983 stood as a prominent year with DynaTAC 8000x available commercially as the first handheld mobile phone. Then in 1991, the 2G network arrived in Finland on the GSM standard. Since then, the number of mobile phone users has gone uphill with further technological advancements.
What is a Smartphone?
A smartphone is basically a mobile phone with smart functionalities. In the initial days, mobile phones were limited to making calls and texting. With the ever-changing times, mobile phones have gotten really smart. The ability to surf the internet, click photos, take video calls, send documents and such are super easy tasks for a modern-day mobile phone, which is popularly known as a smartphone. From keypad phones to QWERTY keyboard phones to touch screen phones to a full-fledged smartphone, the trend has been now all about smartphones.
Besides capable hardware like a processor, camera, display, and battery, software plays an important role for a smartphone. In the present day, the smartphone market is dominated by Android and iOS software.
The Trend of Smartphones in Nepal
Smartphones have become more or less a basic need for humans. In the early 2000s, the mobile phone market was all about keypad phones. Which rose to pin touch phones in the mid-2000s and then, the touch smartphones after 2010.
At the present time, mobile phone access has reached 73.2% of the general public in Nepal, as per the full report of the National Census of 2022. The report also mentions that 73% of the population uses a smartphone. The age-old landline telephone is now owned by 4.5% only. This shows how the market has been all about smartphones these days.
Besides taking a simple phone call, these modern-day phones offer the world on your screen, technically. You just need an internet connection and a smartphone, you can do a whole lot of things. Plus, social media, esports gaming, friends circle, and other factors have increased the demand for smartphones by a big margin in recent years.
Things to know before buying a smartphone
SoC/ Processor on smartphones
We already know that smartphones can be entry-level, midrange, premium midrange, and flagship. And the type of System on Chip is the key factor in segregating those rankings. As simple as that, entry-level phones carry an entry-level chip and it goes so on. In the Android world, we can witness three major chipsets– Snapdragon, Mediatek, and Exynos. The former two are the most popular ones and can be found across all major Android smartphone brands.
Meanwhile, the Exynos chip is Samsung’s in-house product, so it is obviously found in Samsung phones.

Just a few years ago, Snapdragon was the king in the midrange and flagship arena but the Taiwanese chip maker, Mediatek has become extremely popular, beating the American company, in the midrange segment. Also in the flagship section, Mediatek’s popularity is rising with the latest Mediatek Dimensity 9000 Series.
And for the iPhones, it is the Apple A-Series Bionic chips. These chips are known to be more optimized and powerful than their Qualcomm and Mediatek counterparts. But both competitors are also now slowly catching up with the competition against Apple.
How to choose the right processor
Lying at the core of a smartphone is a processor. It provides all the computing power and juice for your device. So, choosing the right chipset is also very important. If you are a techie like me, sorting the best among the bunch is never a hassle. But if you are a newbie or someone who’s unaware of smartphone chipsets, fear not, you can always take the help of Google.
- First up, check the processor of the phone you are buying.
- Then, you can check the Antutu and Geekbench benchmark scores of the chip on the web.
- The higher the CPU and GPU score, the better the processor is.
- On the same side, you can compare other chipsets in the range, in this way, you can know the best-performing chip for the price.
LCD or AMOLED panel?
Smartphones in general use two types of display: LCD and AMOLED. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is found usually in the budget range of devices and also in the midrange segment. On the other hand, Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) panels are found in the midrange, premium midrange, and flagship smartphones, due to their superior picture quality, contrast, and deeper blacks.
So, if you are purchasing a smartphone, always look out for the AMOLED options for a much better display experience. If budget is your constraint, you can also opt for an LCD panel but make sure, it is an IPS LCD, which has better viewing angles than the subpar TFT LCD displays with rubbish viewing angles.
60Hz or 120Hz display?
In recent years, 120Hz fast-motion rate displays have become extremely common. It provides a superfluid scrolling experience than a 60Hz panel, but it consumes a bit more battery. But once you have used a 120Hz panel, there is no way going back to a 60Hz one, because, the fun and overall fluidity will never be the same on a static 60Hz panel.
So, despite the 120Hz consumes more battery, always opt for a smartphone with a 120Hz or at least 90Hz display. You can always switch to the 60Hz motion rate on those smartphones, anyway.
How much RAM should you get?
Smartphones currently come with 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 24GB RAM. Some might also come with 2GB or 3GB of RAM in the entry-level segment. And, choosing the appropriate amount of RAM comes to your usage habits and needs. If you are a basic user, who just uses the phone casually for social media, YouTube, and such, 4GB RAM should be enough for a very basic user.
But if you do multitasking and some gaming as well, 6GB RAM is at least needed while 8GB becomes the norm for the midrange phones. Meanwhile, for flagship devices, 12/16GB RAM is recommended.
The virtual RAM gimmick…
The primary jargon in a local market for selling a smartphone is RAM. But phone companies are marketing their phones with 24GB* RAM, 16*GB RAM, and so on. But, you should always notice the asterisk symbol right there. It is not the actual RAM of the phone, but a combined one with virtual RAM included. For example, the phone has 8GB of physical RAM while the other 8GB is an extended RAM. Virtual RAM is not that useful, and I’d call it more of a gimmick.
Do not fall for MegaPixels trap
While buying a new mobile phone, a bigger megapixel camera might look enticing. But in the actual world, megapixels do not matter that much. A phone might have a 108MP camera but the usual shots are always taken in a pixel-binned 12MP format. You also get a dedicated 108MP or high-res mode, but the results are not drastically different. So, megapixels should not be a major factor here.
So, instead of looking for higher megapixels, look for sensor, ISP, and phone’s overall processing for photos. Sometimes despite having capable hardware, bad processing can ruin the fun. That’s why a 12MP camera can get you better photos than a 108MP one if the software and hardware processing are done right.
OIS in cameras
Another factor you have to look for in a smartphone camera is Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). Phones having OIS can physically move the camera sensor to minimize shakes and jitters. As a result, you can get good stills. Meanwhile in the videos section, having OIS becomes a major perk, resulting in smooth and stable shots. But OIS should be enabled by smartphone manufacturers in this section.
If the smartphone doesn’t have OIS, at least, look for Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) which has nothing to do with photos, but it can provide a decent quality of stabilization for videos.
Top Smartphone brands in Nepal
The Nepalese smartphone market is dominated by three players— Xiaomi, Samsung, and Vivo. The top-dog Xiaomi is arguably the most popular in the market, thanks to its Redmi Note and Redmi Number Series phones. Offering a good overall valued spec at competitive pricing has been the significant reason for the popularity of Xiaomi/Redmi phones in Nepal.

Likewise, Samsung is a veteran player in the smartphone world. Its brand name and trust carry quite a big value for its user base in Nepal. Especially, the midrange and flagship Galaxy lineup of phones are widely popular here. In the meantime, Vivo has also grown with its Y and V series of smartphones in recent days.
Besides these brands, Oppo, OnePlus, Honor, Realme, and Tecno also have a good amount of presence and popularity in the market.
Why buy a new phone or a second-hand phone?
A new phone is for someone who’s always looking for the latest new tech and stuff. New phones come equipped with the latest processors, software, camera, and design. Plus, the feeling of getting something new is always refreshing, isn’t it?
But, buying a second phone cannot be ruled out too. You can get flagship phones from the last generation at cheaper prices, which also makes a great deal. In fact, many people opt to buy second hand iPhone too. So basically, it all comes down to your choice and preferences.
Where to buy smartphones at the best price in Nepal?
As always, you should get a smartphone from authorized stores and genuine sellers like Hukut. It will reflect a lot on after-sales support and genuineness. However, you can also buy phones at a cheaper price rate through gray channels but do note, that there might be MDMS compatibility issues in the near future and you’ll miss out on after-sales support and warranty. Meanwhile, you can browse through a plethora of smartphones on Gadgetbyte with their buying links, to make it easy. Always make sure of the product and buying place, before making a purchase.
How much to spend on a smartphone in Nepal?
Well, the answer depends on your budget and needs. If you are a very basic user or want to buy a smartphone for your parents for the sake of a smartphone experience, you can opt for the budget segment. But if you are someone who wants a decent camera and usage experience, the midrange segment is where you should go. You can find dozens of options here. So, make sure to compare your choices and choose the best that suits your needs and budget. Or, you can stretch your budget for a premium midrange smartphone or even a flagship phone. It all comes down to your preference, choice, and budget.

The HMD Crest stands as one of the best smartphone you can buy in Nepal under 20,000 rupees. It features a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate, offering superior

1. Redmi 13 4G

The newly launched Redmi 13 4G takes the second spot on our list of best phones under NPR 20000 in Nepal. It’s the successor to the Redmi 12 (which also makes a cameo on our list), and it brings a couple of upgrades here and there. Although there are some disappointing downgrades too.
Most notably in terms of cameras because while Xiaomi has swapped that 50MP main camera for a 108MP one here, the Redmi 13 4G gets rid of the useful ultrawide shooter for some reason. But when we tested them both, we found that the new 108MP sensor performs significantly better. Whereas it now has a 13MP selfie camera instead of an 8MP one as well.
HyperOS ftw
Getting to performance, the Redmi 13 4G enjoys MediaTek’s new “Helio G91 Ultra” chip. Having said that, this is nothing but a rebranded Helio G88 found on the Redmi 12. The good news, at least, is that it boots on Android 14-based HyperOS right out of the box.
Other than all this, the Redmi 13 4G has an identical 6.79-inch IPS display with a 90Hz refresh rate. This one is also protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass, but Xiaomi hasn’t clarified exactly which generation of Gorilla Glass has been used here. Then there are a few upgrades in terms of both battery capacity and charging speed as well.

Best Premium Midrangers in Nepal
3. Honor 200 Pro

Then, we have the Honor 200 Pro taking the first spot on our best premium midrange phones in Nepal. And this is most suitable for those who value a good camera performance above everything else. The design is also premium-looking here on both devices. Although we would’ve liked it more if Honor had managed to provide some sort of IP rating and Gorilla Glass protection on the vanilla version. While the Pro version enjoys an IP65 rating at least.
So is its display. You’re looking at a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and curves on both sides. But the biggest highlight of this display is definitely its incredible 3,840Hz PWM dimming. That means if you’re someone who gets headaches, nausea, and the like when using a phone at low brightness levels, that’s not gonna be a problem here. Plus, you get all sorts of attributes such as a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, Low Blue Light certifications, HDR 10+ support, and so on!

1. Samsung Galaxy S25/ S25 Plus

The Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus offer strong value under 1.5 Lakh rupees, with impressive performance, a fantastic display, and excellent battery life. They provide a great balance of features that make them worth the premium over the standard S25, though the price still remains high.

Despite this, the color options this year are a nice touch, and the phones remain solid in terms of looks.
The display is one of the strongest features, offering vibrant colors and brightness that work well even in bright sunlight. It’s one of the best screens you’ll find on any phone, though the fingerprint scanner could be more responsive.

In terms of performance, the Galaxy S25 Plus is hard to beat, boasting the latest Snapdragon chipset, and it’s the fastest phone in benchmark tests. Real-world differences, however, may not be as noticeable. The battery life is solid, but competitors like the OnePlus 13 offer better endurance and faster charging, which puts Samsung at a disadvantage.

2. iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
Securing the second position on our roster of premier smartphones in Nepal are Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you’re seeking the epitome of Apple’s smartphone prowess, these two models are the ones to opt for. However, while the distinction between Apple’s “Pro” and “Pro Max” iPhones has traditionally revolved around their physical dimensions and battery longevity, this time around, opting for the iPhone 16 Pro Max might be the choice if you’re in pursuit of nothing short of the absolute best with a super large display and very good battery life.

This year, the 5X telephoto lens is present on the Pro variant as well, so, you are not missing much, if you opt for the Pro model. So these siblings are portrait photography ready, with their 120mm lens facilitating the capture of remarkable portraits with superior subject clarity, background defocus, and overall image quality.
Nevertheless, it’s important to acknowledge the challenges inherent in capturing 5x portraits, as it often requires maintaining a considerable distance from the subject. Beyond this, the new 48MP ultra-wide camera clicks marginally better photos and macros. Additionally, they excel in video recording capabilities, solidifying their position as the top choice for smartphone videography. And the 4K 120fps option is a cherry on top, this year.
Titanium Frame and Extra Buttons
The iPhone 16 Pro Series brings in the Titanium frame build, ensuring sturdiness, this year as well. is undoubtedly their titanium frame. What’s new this time is a dedicated camera button on the right side. It allows you to change color tone, zoom, and aperture but in our tests, this button felt like more of a gimmick. The onscreen controls are far easier to work with. In particular, we ended up getting blurry and not-so-sharp outputs as the phone tends to shake while clicking the button. Besides this, the Action button is the same as last year.
In terms of performance, the iPhone 16 Pro models are powered by the brand-new A18 Pro processor. It is complemented by a larger graphite sheet and it works fantastically with the phone staying cooler than the last gen iPhone 15 Pro Max.
With features ranging from hardware ray tracing to a MetalFX Upscaling method reminiscent of DLSS, this “Pro” chip lives up to its name. It’s not just about gaming prowess either; these devices also embrace USB-C connectivity and boast impressive battery life.
