Best Smart Phone to buy in Nepal

Apple iPhone 11

iPhone 11 was the least expensive iPhone of 2019. But don’t let the price fool you, it still packs some of the best hardware on the inside. The Apple A13 Bionic is still a very good performer. The phone is also available. Although the wallet is pretty straightforward, iPhone 11 offers an exciting gaming experience.

And it’s the only phone in the iPhone 11 series to list the best smartphones in Nepal because the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max were stopped. Moreover, it is now only accessible at EvoStore in a limited amount.

Anyway, its name may be confusing but iPhone 11 is the successor to the iPhone XR. Just like the latter, iPhone 11 comes with 6.1-inch LCD Liquid Retina Display. Although it features the same display and a similar kind of design, there are lots of other upgrades on the inside. And the first one is its camera.

Classic iPhone cameras, even on the entry-level model

iPhone 11 has two rear cameras: one primary 12MP and another ultra-wide 12MP. So while shooting pictures you will have additional alternatives. Apple also enhanced his computer photography considerably, which makes the phone take wonderful pictures. In addition, a 12MP selfie shooter is included on the phone, which allows 4K movies to be recorded.

iPhone 11 Specifications:

  • Display: 6.1-inches 60Hz HD+ IPS LCD, 326 PPI
  • Chipset: Apple A13 Bionic (7nm+ Mobile Platform)

OnePlus 9

Although the OnePlus 9 Pro is not available in Nepal, the OnePlus 9 regular ranks 7th in our smartphones ranking in Nepal. It has an upgraded camera design and a series of improvements. It now supports HDR10+ with a 6.55′′ AMOLED display up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak luminosity of 1100 nits.

However, it is a bit disheartening to find your phone without an IP certification. The overall version of the OnePlus 9 is also available in Nepal with a wireless charge of 15W, and the Indian version of it completely lacks wireless charging. Furthermore, the latter compromise the 5G bands too.

Indispensable optimization

Moving on, the charm of every OnePlus device, as you might have guessed, is OxygenOS. The device boots on the Android 11-based OxygenOS and is powered by the flagship Snapdragon 888 chipset. Furthermore, this SoC has been complemented by up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

The OnePlus 9 now has a three-way camera on its back. A main 48MP lens with the superwide 50MP and 2MP monochrome sensors leads the arrangement.. Additionally, the handset features Hasselblad color optimization too. And upon our test, we found its camera quality to be more or less similar compared to its Pro sibling. Still, its omission of OIS is a big letdown.

  • Display: 6.55-inches 120Hz FHD+ Fluid AMOLED, 402 PPI
  • Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G (5nm Mobile Platform)

Xiaomi Mi 11

With Mi 11, Xiaomi Nepal has delivered one of the best value flagship smartphones for the price. It has an aluminum frame, a curved display with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, and a glass back. Despite this, the device weighs 196 grams and is only 8.1 mm thin. On the performance side of things, it is powered by Snapdragon 888.

The Mi 11 warms up a little bit under strain as well as other phones with a similar processor. Up to 12GB of LPDDR5 and 128GB of UFS 3.1 storage have been supplemented with this. It runs on MIUI 12 on an out-of-the-box Android 11 basis. Things like the dark fashion are still not optimized here mostly, yet it works quite well.

Review

In any case, the gadget has a big WQHD+ high-resolution 6,81-inch AMOLED DotDisplay display. Mi 11 has a 120 Hz refresh rate and a 480 Hz touch sampling rate to make the content consumption experience smoother. With regard to the camera, the camera is thrice on the back. This contains a 108MP main camera while a telephoto lens is missing from the phone.

While Mi 11 shares similar camera specs with the cheaper Mi 11X Pro, we found that the images from Mi 11 have relatively balanced saturation and dynamic range. A 4600mAh battery is added to the telephone while Xiaomi also supplies a 55W GaN charger within the box. In addition, 50W of wireless and 10W of reverse loading is supported.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

Sitting at the fifth spot in our list of best flagship smartphones in Nepal rightfully goes to the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It is the largest display yet in the series, measuring a stunning 6-9″ starting with the display. This is a 2X Infinity-O display of WQHD+ Dynamic AMOLED.

The Note 20 Ultra display therefore enables the refresh rate of the view to move dynamically from 10Hz to 120Hz depending on the content. Within the range of 4500 mAh which enable 15W rapid wired and wireless charging, this variable recovery rate (VCR) technology surely will assist to achieve effective battery resistance.

Review

The phone is also protected by the latest Corning Gorilla Glass Victus which promises better resistance against drop & scratches. Performance-wise, it has the same Exynos 990 SoC as in the S20 series globally, while select markets like the US, China & S. Korea get the Snapdragon 865+ variant. Similarly, Samsung has brought the 4G version of Note 20 Ultra in Nepal which has 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage.

Here, the S-Pen has been moved to the left, but above all Samsung has decreased the input latency to only 9ms dramatically. Once on camera, it is equipped with a three-fold rear camera configuration, 108MP, a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 12MP telephoto lens with a 5x digital or 50x space zoom capability. A Laser AF sensor is also available to enhance focus. In the front of the punch-hole, you receive a 10MP camera.

Samsung Galaxy S21, S21+

Moving on, the new Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ take the fourth position in our list of best smartphones you can currently buy in Nepal. The Galaxy S21 and S21+ are a couple of great Android smartphones, with substantial design, performance and cameras enhancements compared to their immediate predecessors.

Camera

These two phones on several fronts are extremely comparable here. They have 64MP photos (3x optic zoom), 12MP wide, and a 12MP ultrawide sensor in the same camera set-up. Likewise, within the punch-hole cutout, you find a 10MP selfie snapper. S21 and S21+ power is the new one for Samsung Exynos 2100.

It bridges not only the gap between its equivalent to Snapdragon but also the power efficiency of this silicone. Both phones include an LPDDR5 RAM of 8GB and internal storage up to 256GB. Samsung has, sadly, turned off support for the SD card from the S21 series.

Although the S21 boasts a 6.2-inch dynamic AMOLED display with an adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz, the S21+ features a larger 6.7″ pane. Due to their size, the battery capacity of these phones is also different. In any case, the quality of the cheaper products in the S21 series is a big differentiator. Samsung’s back/glass front is on the S21 whereas the S21+ is treated by Victus on both sides.

Both devices are equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED Super Retina XDR display that extends from border to border. The panel is coated with a ceramic shield layer that guarantees better life than the iPhone 11. They are coated with glass on the exterior surface, whereas the iPhone 12 aerospace aluminum frame and 12 Pro with stainless steel frames are provided.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Moving on, Samsung’s Galaxy S21 Ultra sits in the second position on our list of the best flagship smartphones in Nepal. Working on the flaws of its predecessor, its comeback story is one for the ages. As expected, the phone brings a major overhaul in design, performance, and more importantly, the cameras. While the S20 Ultra was plagued by the horrible autofocus issue, Samsung has solved that by including a dedicated Laser AutoFocus (AF) system on the S21 Ultra.

Gorilla Glass Victus

In addition, you will receive every premium feature from a smartphone flagship. It offers double protection against corning gorilla glass Victus that offers scratch or drop resilience. The display is a big 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen that features an LTPO backplane that dynamically adjusts the refresh rate between 10 and 120Hz—thus saving battery.

Samsung has also a brand new OLED panel on the S21 Ultra that supposedly consumes 16% less power compared to the last-gen panel. Powering the phone is the Exynos 2100 which has been paired with 12/16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. However, we would have loved to see the Snapdragon variant, which is limited to the US, China, and Korean market.

However, this time you do not have the possibility to extend your storage. The phone includes a back panel with a 108MP ISOCELL HM3 sensor, a periscope lens of 10MP, a photo 10MP and an ultra-wide 12 MP camera.
