With the recent increase in USD price and taxes, smartphone price brackets have also shifted quite a bit.
What classified as an entry-level smartphone a year ago (Rs. 10,000 – Rs. 15,000) now costs Rs. 20,000 or above. On top of that, phone companies continue to launch better phones at a lower price. This increased competition makes it harder to decide which phone to buy in any price range.
For people with a limited budget looking for all essential features in one smartphone, here’s a list of top 5 smartphones compared according to their battery life, display quality, camera setup and value for money.
The top 5 smartphones you can get under PKR 25,000 are:
