Our Verdict

As we conclude the list of best flagship smartphones available in Nepal, a single phone cannot be the ideal choice for everyone. The best smartphone might have different definitions for different people. So, you can opt for any of them as per your needs.

Personally, I would opt for the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra as I am not a big fan of Apple phones and it is the best choice as it has the best overall specs and features among all android phones. But iPhone 12 Pro Max still is a great contender and Apple fans will jump for it as it is the best iPhone ever. Similarly, there are Xiaomi fans who would do anything to get it’s flagship phone, and Mi 11 is a good choice for them.
