Best mobile phones under NPR 30000 in Nepal:
6. Realmi 9i
We are starting this list with Realme 9i. It is the first phone to launch under Realme’s latest number series. That being said, it has one of the best-looking designs, especially the Prism Blue option that we reviewed. However, the phone does pick up a lot of smudges and is void of any sort of IP rating.
The rest of the secs are pretty average. It comes powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset (6nm), which is quite common in this price range today. The 50MP primary camera is another of Realme 9i’s features that is getting popular in this particular segment. The phone skips on an ultrawide shooter, though. In addition, it gets a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.

- Display: 6.6″ FHD+ IPS LCD, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate

5. Realme Narzo 50
Next up we have the Realme Narzo 50. It is the only phone on this list to come with a 120Hz refresh rate. That being said, it doesn’t have an AMOLED panel, which many phones have started to offer in this price range.
Keeping that aside, this screen also has a 180Hz touch sampling rate and 600 nits of brightness. Under the hood, it packs the MediaTek Helio G96 chipset, which should be enough for casual gaming.
Over on the back, it features a triple camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary, 2MP monochrome, and a 2MP macro camera.
If all of this sounds familiar, it’s because the Realme Narzo 50 is heavily based on last year’s Realme 8i. The reason it is on this list over the other is that it is cheaper and comes with 33W fast charging.
Realme Narzo 50 Specifications:
- Display: 6.6-inch FHD+ IPS LCD, 120Hz, 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate
- Chipset: MediaTek Helio G96 4G (12nm Mobile Platform)

4. Redmi Note 11
If you want the best multimedia experience at a minimum budget, Redmi Note 11 is the way to go. It’s the cheapest phone in Nepal to come with a 90Hz AMOLED screen with an FHD+ screen. Phones in this price range usually compromise on at least one of the three criteria. Moving on, the stereo speakers on this phone are equally impressive.
Likewise, the 5,000mAh battery combined with a power-efficient 5nm chip amount to a considerable battery backup. As a result, you will hardly run into low battery when binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix. Even if you do end up in a similar scenario, the 33W box included in the box can completely fill up the phone in a little more than an hour.
The two aspects where Redmi Note 11 fails to impress are gaming and photography. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 even falls behind the Snapdragon 678 when it comes to gaming. Likewise, we found the Note 11’s cameras to be unreliable at times, though they appear to be amongst the most complete setup on paper.
Redmi Note 11 Specifications:
- Display: 6.43 FHD+ AMOLED, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, 1000 nits (peak), 90Hz refresh rate
- Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 (6nm Mobile Platform)

3. Samsung Galaxy A22

It is the only one to bring OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) camera on this list. As a result, you’ll be able to shoot stable videos and decent nighttime shots from the Samsung Galaxy A22. Other highlights include a 6.4″ 90Hz Super AMOLED display and 48MP quad-cameras.
While the A22 shines in a lot of aspects, it does fall short in a few others. For instance, the phone only sports an HD resolution. To note, Galaxy A22 is the only entry in this list of best phones under NPR 30000 in Nepal to feature an inferior HD resolution.

2. Realme 9
We can’t complete this list without mentioning the Realme 9 4G. It has the best design of all the phones on this list. It is slim and lightweight and can easily fit into your pocket. The ripple holographic design looks good too, especially in the Stargaze White variant.
