Best Mobile Under 25000 in Pakistan (2026 Guide)

19 Sep 2026 · 5 min read

Rs 25,000 is a smart middle budget in Pakistan. It is a clear step up from the cheapest phones, enough for 4GB or 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, a smooth 90Hz or 120Hz screen and a battery that lasts all day. You won't get a flagship camera or serious gaming power, but you can get a phone that feels quick for everyday use.

The best results at this budget come from two places: new phones from Redmi, Infinix, Tecno, Realme and Samsung's entry range, and good used phones that cost Rs 35,000 or more when they were new. Below are the picks for both, and the things to check before you pay.

What to expect for Rs 25,000

4GB RAM at minimum, with 6GB on some new models and many used ones
128GB storage - don't settle for 64GB unless the phone is for calls only
A 90Hz or 120Hz screen, usually LCD on new phones and sometimes AMOLED on used ones
A 5,000mAh battery with 15W to 33W charging
A Helio G81, G85, G88 or Unisoc T-series chip on new phones, and Helio G88 to G99 on used ones
A 50MP main camera that is decent in daylight

Redmi 14C - a large 120Hz screen, a 5,160mAh battery and a 50MP main camera. Sometimes slightly above Rs 25,000, but often worth the small stretch. See ads

Best used phones under Rs 25,000

A used phone in good condition often gives you a better screen and a faster chip than a new one at the same price. Look for:

Redmi Note 12 - an AMOLED 120Hz screen and a Snapdragon chip. A big upgrade in display quality. See ads
Redmi 13 - Helio G91 Ultra and a 108MP main camera. See ads
Infinix Hot 40 - Helio G88, 90Hz screen and stereo speakers. See ads
Samsung Galaxy A14 or A15 - Samsung software at a used price. The A15 has an AMOLED screen and a stronger chip. A15 ads
Tecno Spark 20 - big screen and a good selfie camera. See ads

Before paying for any used phone, run the 12-point used phone checklist and check the IMEI on 8484. Our guide on how to verify a phone before buying shows each step.

New or used at Rs 25,000?

Choose new if you want a warranty, a fresh battery and zero risk. This is the better choice for parents, students and anyone who doesn't want to inspect a phone.
Choose used if you care about the screen, camera or gaming, and you are willing to check battery, charging port and PTA status properly.

Mistakes that waste money at this budget

Buying non-PTA to save a few thousand. The PTA tax is based on the phone's customs value and can cost a large share of a Rs 25,000 phone. Read what PTA approved means.
Trusting "8GB+8GB" stickers. Only the first number is real RAM.
Buying an old flagship cheaply. A Galaxy S10 or old iPhone at this price usually has a tired battery and no more updates.
Choosing 64GB storage. It fills up within months once WhatsApp media starts piling up.

Which phone fits you?

Mostly WhatsApp, YouTube and calls: Redmi 14C or Galaxy A06 new.
Better screen for video: a used Redmi Note 12 or Galaxy A15 for their AMOLED displays.
Light gaming: a phone with a Helio G88 or G91. See the best gaming phone under 20000 for settings tips.
A phone that lasts: Samsung, thanks to longer updates. See Samsung mobile prices from 20000 to 30000.
