bhalophoneAI-powered phone recommendations for BangladeshUpdated every day or twoGet my pick →As of October 2026, the best 5G phone under ৳40,000 in Bangladesh is the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G at ৳35,990 on unofficial listings, in stock at 9 of the 16 shops we track when we last checked on 28 Oct 2026.
Since you want the best 5G phone under ৳40,000 the Galaxy A37 gives you a solid Snapdragon‑6 Gen 4 chip, OIS‑stabilised camera and a bright 120 Hz AMOLED screen, plus Samsung’s strongest software‑support record in Bangladesh.
The Samsung Galaxy A37 wins because it blends solid mid‑range performance, OIS camera, bright 120 Hz AMOLED and the best software‑update record among all under‑40k options.
The next best, Redmi Turbo 4, beats the A37 on raw performance and battery size, but its weaker software support and brand update record keep it from taking the top spot.

Premium build and software support are overshadowed by an aging chipset, poor value, and lack of hardware upgrades. Scores are mined from published reviews and owner reports, not from our own testing.

Picks weigh five capabilities against the price, not any one of them. How we rank →
The Turbo 4 packs a near‑flagship Dimensity 8400 Ultra, delivering flagship‑class performance and a fast‑charging 6,550 mAh battery, while still keeping an OIS‑enabled 50 MP main sensor.
Honor’s X9d gives you the biggest battery of the lot (8,300 mAh) and a decent Snapdragon 6 Gen 4 chip, plus OIS on the 108 MP main sensor, making it a strong all‑rounder for heavy use.
The POCO X8 offers a Snapdragon 6s Gen 4 chip and OIS‑stabilised 50 MP camera, delivering respectable performance for its price, though its software is ad‑heavy.
The Galaxy M47 gives you Samsung’s clean One UI experience and OIS camera, with a decent Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, but its overall performance and battery are a step below the top three.
The Honor 600 Lite has a high‑resolution 108 MP sensor and a good camera‑tuning score, but it lacks OIS and its brand support in Bangladesh is weaker than Samsung’s.
