Buying a smartphone under Rs50,000 may seem difficult as prices in Pakistan have climbed sharply in recent years, mainly due to higher taxes and import costs. What was once considered a mid-range phone now often costs well above Rs100,000, making it harder for many users to upgrade their devices.
Still, buyers with a budget of around Rs50,000 can find several brand-new smartphones that offer solid performance for everyday use.
Chinese brands, especially Xiaomi, Infinix and Tecno, have gained strong ground in Pakistan by offering better specifications at competitive prices. Even Samsung continues to serve budget-focused users with a few reliable options.
Redmi 15
Xiaomi’s Redmi lineup remains one of the most popular choices in the budget segment. The Redmi 15 stands out as a strong option for users willing to spend close to Rs50,000. Priced at around Rs45,500, the phone comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, making it suitable for multitasking and daily use.
It features a large 6.9-inch FHD+ display with a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 685 processor. A 50MP main camera handles everyday photography, while the 7,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging easily lasts a full day and more. The phone runs on Xiaomi HyperOS 2 and also offers IP64 dust and water resistance, which is a bonus at this price point.
Redmi 15C
For buyers looking to spend less, the Redmi 15C is a more affordable option, priced at around Rs33,499. With 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, it covers basic needs like browsing, video streaming and light gaming. It comes with a 6.9-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 50MP rear camera and a 6,000mAh battery. The Redmi 15C also supports 33W fast charging and runs the same HyperOS 2 software.
Samsung Galaxy A07
Samsung’s Galaxy A07 is among the most budget-friendly new Samsung phones available in Pakistan. The 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant is priced at around Rs38,500, while a cheaper 4GB RAM version is also available for those on a tighter budget.
The phone features a 6.7-inch HD Plus display and is powered by the MediaTek G99 processor. It includes a 50MP main camera, an 8MP front camera and an IP54 rating for basic dust and splash protection, making it suitable for everyday use.
Infinix Hot 60 Pro
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro, priced at around Rs44,000, offers good value with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, a 50MP rear camera, a 13MP front camera and a MediaTek Helio G200 processor. A 5,160mAh battery supports daily usage without frequent charging.
Tecno Pova 6 Neo
Another notable option is the Tecno Pova 6 Neo, which is priced near Rs46,000 for an 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. It features a modern design, a 6.78-inch display, a MediaTek Helio G99 processor and a massive 7,000mAh battery. The 50MP rear camera supports 1440p video recording, which is rare in this segment.

Local brand Sparx’s Edge 20 Pro also deserves attention. Available at around Rs41,000, it features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 108MP rear camera and a 16MP front camera. Powered by the MediaTek Helio G99 processor, it includes a 5,000mAh battery with 65W fast charging and an in-display fingerprint sensor, making it one of the most stylish phones in this price range.
Despite rising smartphone prices, buyers in Pakistan still have several solid options under Rs50,000. Whether the priority is battery life, camera quality, display or overall performance, brands like Redmi, Samsung, Infinix, Tecno and Sparx offer phones that deliver good value without stretching the budget.
