bhalophoneAI-powered phone recommendations for BangladeshUpdated every day or twoGet my pick →As of October 2026, the best camera phone under ৳40,000 in Bangladesh is the Honor X9d at ৳38,499 on unofficial listings, in stock at 8 of the 16 shops we track when we last checked on 28 Oct 2026.
Since you need the strongest camera quality under ৳40,000, this is your best choice. It is the only phone in your budget that combines a high-resolution 108MP sensor with OIS for stable shots, and it offers a well-rounded experience with a solid display and reliable performance.
The Honor X9d wins because it is the only device in the budget that pairs a large 108MP sensor with OIS, providing the best hardware foundation for your camera priority.
The Nothing Phone 3a lite ranks second because it offers superior software and camera tuning compared to the POCO X8, despite lacking OIS.

Picks weigh five capabilities against the price, not the camera rating alone. How we rank →
This phone offers a very clean software experience and a capable 50MP main camera that performs well for its price. It is a strong alternative if you prefer a unique design and bloat-free software over the Honor's higher-resolution sensor.
This is a capable device with OIS, which is essential for your camera priority. While it is a solid performer, it ranks behind the others due to the high amount of pre-installed bloatware and a less refined camera tuning compared to the top picks.
Every figure we hold on the camera for the phones above, with its source.
