Best Phones Under Rs 100,000 in Pakistan (2026) — Used Buying Guide

What is the best phone under Rs 100,000 in Pakistan?

Under Rs 100,000 in Pakistan in 2026, buying used opens up phones that cost far more new. In Good condition, a used Apple iPhone 12 sits around Rs 92,000, a Nothing Phone 2 around Rs 89,000, and an Oppo Reno 12 Pro around Rs 86,000. At this budget a used former flagship is almost always a better phone than a new mid-ranger.

What Rs 100,000 buys you used

Prices below are what a used unit in Good (Grade B) condition typically costs, derived from June 2026 Pakistani retail prices. Used prices move constantly, so check live listings before you commit.

• Apple iPhone 12 — around Rs 92,400 used. The best long-term pick: iOS support outlasts every Android here and resale stays strong.
• Nothing Phone 2 — around Rs 89,100 used. Clean software and distinctive design; service support in Pakistan is thinner.
• Oppo Reno 12 Pro — around Rs 85,800 used. Strong camera and fast charging.
• Tecno Camon 30 Premier — around Rs 75,900 used. Most screen and camera hardware per rupee.
• Realme 12 Pro+ — around Rs 72,600 used. Good all-rounder with a proper telephoto lens.

Used iPhone or new Android at this budget?

This is the real question at Rs 100,000 in Pakistan, and the honest answer depends on how long you keep phones.

Buy the used iPhone if you keep a phone three or more years. Apple supports its phones with software updates far longer, and iPhones lose value more slowly in the Pakistani market, so your effective cost of ownership is lower even though the purchase price is similar.

Buy the new Android if you want a warranty, fast charging, and the reassurance of an unopened box. A new mid-range Android at Rs 100,000 will have faster charging and a fresh battery, but weaker resale in two years.

One Pakistan-specific caution on used iPhones: check the phone is not iCloud-locked. Ask the seller to fully sign out and factory reset before shipping, and confirm the Activation Lock screen is gone when it arrives.

Should you buy PTA-approved or Non-PTA at this budget?

A Non-PTA phone is cheaper, often by 25 to 40 percent, but DIRBS blocks it after roughly 60 days and it becomes Wi-Fi-only. At Rs 100,000 that is a painful loss. Buy PTA-approved, verify the IMEI on 8484 yourself, and never rely on a screenshot from the seller, which is trivial to fake. Our PTA status guide covers the full process.

The checks that matter at this price

1. IMEI via *#06#, matched against the box and verified on 8484.
2. On iPhone: Settings, Battery, Battery Health. Look for 85 percent or above and read any non-genuine part warning carefully.
3. On iPhone: confirm no iCloud Activation Lock and that the serial checks out on Apple's coverage page.
4. Test wireless charging, Face ID or fingerprint, both cameras, and all speakers.
5. Inspect the frame and screen edges for signs the device has been opened.

At Rs 100,000, paying a stranger in advance is a serious risk. On Yaqeen the payment is held in escrow, the seller must film the device and IMEI before dispatch, and you get 72 hours to run these checks before the money is released.
