In Pakistan, there is also a growing demand for budget smartphones due to the price-sensitive nature of the market. The government has made efforts to regulate and control the import of mobile phones, including the DIRBS (Device Identification Registration and Blocking System), which was introduced to curb the use of smuggled devices.
Smartphones are used for a variety of purposes in Pakistan, including social media, online shopping, mobile banking, and entertainment. The rise of 4G networks in the country has also made high-speed internet more accessible to a larger population.
Mobile phone prices in Pakistan can vary significantly depending on the brand, model, features, and whether the phone is imported officially or through the grey market. As of early 2025, here’s a rough breakdown of mobile phone prices in Pakistan:
- Budget Range (PKR 15,000 – 35,000):
- Xiaomi Redmi Note series
- Realme Narzo series
- Samsung Galaxy A series
- Infinix Hot series
- Tecno Spark series
Phones in this range usually come with 4GB-6GB RAM, mid-range processors, and good camera setups for the price. These devices are great for daily use, social media, and light gaming.
