Yes, you read it right! There actually exist some smartphones which are priced under Rs. 5,000. The phones in this price range come in the ultra low-end category and are made to perform everyday tasks like messaging, social media etc. The cameras in these phones are not so good and only perform satisfactorily in broad daylight. These phones are not made for gaming but you can play light games like Subway Surfers and Temple Run (Sorry, no GTA or Need for Speed!). Plus you might need to clear the RAM every once in a while to keep the phone running smoothly. None of these phones is LTE supported. You can check the mobile prices for all smartphones in Pakistan on our website.
