The Pakistani market has now become somewhat stable, and there has been a considerable decrease in prices. Friends, if you have a budget of 40,000 rupees, what is your priority? Because within this range, you may not get a top-level camera, but the displays are good, and you can find good hardware. In this price segment, a standard has been set, with many phones featuring the MediaTek Helio G99 chipset, and you can also find a variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, as well as one with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. Now, even 5G hardware is available within this budget, so you need to make your checklist based on your priorities. Some phones also come with an IPS panel, but if you want an AMOLED panel, you'll have to look for two or three phones with a higher refresh rate.
Within the range of 40 to 50 thousand rupees, which mobile phone should one buy?
One thing to keep in mind is that phones in the 40 to 50 thousand range may not offer top-level camera performance. Phones above this range might provide it, but some phones below this range might offer better performance in one aspect, better display in another. So, you need to choose your mobile phone according to your preferences.
