When deciding to buy a smartphone a few years ago, there were only one or two options available. As the only reliable options, Samsung, Sony, Apple, and others enjoyed a significant monopoly among themselves. Then a wave of Chinese manufacturers descended, completely altering the landscape of the smartphone industry.

The emergence of Huawei, Infinix, Xiaomi, Lenovo, OnePlus, and other companies has increased the range of devices available. We do believe, though, that there is still, and understandably so, a feeling of suspicion toward all of these smartphone makers in today's world.

We are all aware of how Chinese goods are seen with a sense of apprehension accompanying their very existence. This is primarily because they have been incredibly unreliable since they were first introduced, and our public is still somewhat hesitant to purchase them at first glance, which causes them to choose Samsung devices that are significantly compromised and underpowered. We think it's time to inform our audience about the reliability of each of the aforementioned businesses so that they are no longer forced to purchase budget Samsung products.

The creation of this article took some time. Since Huawei arrived in Pakistan for the first time almost six years ago, OnePlus and Xiaomi have followed the following. Before stating that you can put your trust in all of these Chinese releases, we continually tried, tested, and weighed them all.

Whereas it was previously unthinkable to find smartphones with 16-megapixel primary cameras, 3 gigabytes of RAM, svelte designs, and waists for around 20,000 rupees, these Chinese makers have done so and they've done it in style. Whereas Samsung continues to promote low-end smartphones with subpar capabilities and construction, all the aforementioned Chinese manufacturers are setting out on an expensive but worthwhile quest for greatness.

Samsung has pushed itself to the limit to offer users 8-megapixel primary sensors, 2 gigabytes of RAM, poor resolution displays, and plastic bodies, with one or two exceptions, within the range of 20,000–22,000 rupees. One can see a slight difference in the quality and price you'll pay for a device that is either significantly better than the aforementioned Samsung phones or has a much lower price tag if it contains similar specifications when comparing that to the weakest Infinix device, the Hot 3, or the Lenovo A7000 Plus.

Countless other instances have convinced us to support these Chinese manufacturers, and it's not just their lower-end smartphones that are home to such prowess; their higher-end smartphones, like the OnePlus 3T, hold sheer power and strength to overthrow even the worst of smartphones currently on the market.

Having said that, we are fully aware of the average Pakistani's purchasing ability. Even with a limited budget, you may still get some of the most luxurious cell phones available. Even though the flagship models may be out of your price range, it is our responsibility to make sure that our consumers may obtain the best products possible for the money they have available.

Therefore, below is a list of some of the greatest smartphones you can buy for some of the most reasonable rates, saving you from choosing subpar Samsung or other devices due to a lack of awareness about what's available on the market:
