If you are looking to buy a flagship-level phone but don’t have enough budget to buy a new flagship phone that costs more than one lakh in Pakistan, you’re not alone. Many mobile buyers are turning to used flagship phones under 50K that offer premium gaming and camera performance.

Why do old Flagships beat new phones under 50k
Most new phones under 50000 PKR, such as the Techno Infinix and entry-level Xiaomi and Realme models, offer.
- Plastic builds
- Budget and low-power chipsets like Helio G99 or G100.
- Low-quality camera setups
In contrast, these used flagship phones under 50k offer:
- Flagship processors like the A13 Bionic, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and Google Tensor
- Premium Super AMOLED displays
- High-quality camera lenses can record video in 4k and can click images in high quality.
- Clean UI and smooth software.
Now let’s explore the first contender on our list.

6GB LPDDR5 RAM ensures smooth multitasking; you can open and use multiple apps at once without lag.

iPhone 11—Best iPhone for Gaming & Camera Under 50K
At no2, we have a well-known mobile for its cameras and its powerful performance. This mobile was launched around 6 years ago in September 2019, but it still has such features that no box-packed mobile around 50k offers in Pakistan, so let’s discuss its features and why it is still worth buying in 2025.
Camera Highlights
Back Camera
12 MP wide (main) with f/1.8 and 12 MP (secondary) with f/2.4 aperture. The main sensor comes with optical image stabilization (OIS) and 4k 60 fps support. With the help of optical image stabilization, you can record stabilized videos without any shake. The OIS also reduces blur, especially in low-light conditions, and the secondary ultra-wide camera used to capture wider scenes is ideal for landscapes, tight door spaces, and architecture.
Front camera
The 12 MP f/2.2 front camera comes with smart HDR, which helps balance skin tone. You can also take stunning portraits and later adjust the blur yourself after taking the shot. This camera can record videos in 4k 60 fps, and it is still very useful for vloggers and content creators.
Gaming performance
Chipset
The iPhone 11 comes with the A13 Bionic 7 nm processor launched in 2019, but it still outperforms most midrange phones launched in 2025 in performance; its Antutu scores are around 720,000.
GPU
It’s paired with an Apple 4-core GPU, which can run PUBG Mobile at smooth-extreme and COD Mobile at high graphics-high FPS settings, and all other games at high graphics.
RAM
The iPhone 11 is paired with 4 GB of RAM.
Drawbacks
- 60 Hz display
- Variable battery health.
Suggestions when buying a used iPhone 11
- Must check mobile battery health; battery health must be above 80. Don’t purchase that phone if the health score is less than 80.
- Must check that the phone is water-packed. Usually, used phones are water-packed, and refurbished phones are not water-packed, so check before buying.
Price
45 to 50k PKR, depending on the condition of the device.
