Looking for a brand-new, box-packed smartphone in Pakistan under Rs 35,000 to Rs 40,000? You’re in luck. In today’s market, finding a value-for-money phone in this price range is not impossible if you know where to look. Whether you’re a casual user or someone who wants a decent phone for multimedia and light gaming, here are three top options worth considering.
1. Tecno Spark 30 Pro – Best Value at Rs 36,000
Launched a few months ago, the Tecno Spark 30 Pro was initially priced higher at Rs 46,000, but it has recently seen a significant price cut. Now available at around Rs 36,000 to Rs 36,500 in Pakistan’s offline and online markets, it’s a great option if you’re looking for solid performance on a budget.
Specs include:
- Helio G88 processor – handles day-to-day usage smoothly.
- 8GB RAM with 128GB storage – decent for multitasking.
- 5000mAh battery with 33W fast charging – enough to last a full day.
- Decent camera setup and good build quality.
If you’re after the best deal and don’t mind Tecno’s user interface, this is easily one of the best phones under Rs 40,000 right now.
2. Infinix Hot 50 Pro – Close Rival at Rs 38,000
Another good option in the same category is the Infinix Hot 50 Pro, which also comes with the Helio G88 chipset, 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage. It’s slightly more expensive at around Rs 38,000, but offers similar performance and features.
It’s great for:
- Multimedia consumption with its vibrant display.
- Casual gaming – though not built for heavy-duty games.
- Everyday apps like WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, etc.
If you prefer Infinix’s design and user interface over Tecno’s, this one might suit you better despite the Rs 2,000 price difference.
3. Samsung Galaxy A15 – Peace of Mind at Rs 37,000
Not a fan of Tecno or Infinix? If you’re brand-conscious and want something more mainstream, consider the Samsung Galaxy A15. Available at Rs 36,500 to Rs 37,000, this phone gives you the peace of mind that comes with Samsung’s trusted name.
Pros:
- Samsung’s One UI, which many users find more reliable and smoother than other budget UIs.
- Super AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate – great for daily media usage.
- 5000mAh battery – but be warned: no charger included in the box. You’ll need to buy one separately for around Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000.
- 6GB RAM + 128GB storage – solid for daily use.
However, the A15 lacks some hardware sensors (like the gyroscope), so it may not be suitable for gaming enthusiasts. But for average users who prioritize brand trust and software experience, this is a strong contender.
A Quick Note on the Samsung Galaxy A16
Samsung has also launched the Galaxy A16, but early reviews show not much difference in features compared to the A15. The main advantage is a longer software update cycle — 6 years for the A16 vs. 4 years for the A15. But with a significant price gap, the A15 at Rs 36,500 remains a better value.
Final Thoughts
If you’re shopping in Pakistan and want a new, box-packed phone under Rs 40,000, here are your best choices:
- For best specs at the lowest price: Go for the Tecno Spark 30 Pro.
- For slightly better design and similar performance: Choose the Infinix Hot 50 Pro.
- For reliable brand and UI experience: Pick the Samsung Galaxy A15.
Each of these phones has its strengths, and your final decision should depend on whether you prioritize performance, design, or brand value. Whatever your pick, these are currently the top value-for-money smartphones in Pakistan’s budget category.
