Best Smartphones from Rs.5,000-Rs.10,000
The best mobiles in the range of Rs.5000 to Rs.10,000 are budget smartphones which come mostly with basic features and are quite inexpensive.
While a smartphone under Rs 10,000 won’t offer all the exciting features that are in trend right now, they are perfectly good for the basics. Even today, a budget of Rs 10,000 doesn’t have a lot of options but the entry of Google’s Android Go operating system has improved the speed and stability of these entry-level smartphones a lot.
The change is quite noticeable if you are upgrading from a feature phone. There are options like a taller 18:9 display, dual cameras, 4G connectivity, Android Go OS, and a wide range of colors to choose from. The budget may be tight, but the ones we have curated here in this list of the best smartphones to buy under Rs 10,000 in Nepal, offers the best possible experience at a shoestring budget of Rs 5,000.
