How we track mobile prices in Nepal
Phone prices here move for ordinary reasons. A shipment clears, a promotion starts, a shop needs shelf space before a new launch. We collect pricing from publicly available retailer and product sources, tie every figure to the right phone, variant and seller, and keep the older numbers so changes stay visible. This page explains the method and its limits.
- Prices tied to a seller Every figure belongs to a named retailer, so you can judge the listing instead of trusting a blended average.
- Variants kept apart An 8GB handset is not a 6GB handset. RAM and storage versions are tracked separately whenever the source lets us tell them apart.
- History kept on purpose Older prices are retained when new ones arrive. That record is what turns a single number into a trend you can check.
Four steps behind every price you see
Nothing lands on this site by accident. Each figure passes through the same short routine before it becomes part of a phone page.
-
1
We collect prices
Manufacturer pages, distributor lists, retailer websites and marketplace listings that serve the Nepal market. The source behind each figure is stored with it.
-
2
We match the exact variant
A model name alone misleads. RAM, storage and colour decide what a phone actually is, so each price is attached to a variant before it enters the database.
-
3
We record the seller and terms
Each price carries the retailer behind it, plus whatever stock status and warranty information the source published alongside it.
-
4
We keep the previous number
When a new price lands, the old one moves into history instead of the bin. That is the only honest way to show a change later.
Seven fields travel with each price
Context is what makes a number worth trusting. These seven fields are stored together, every time.

What starting price means
It is the lowest live figure we currently hold for a phone across the variants and sellers we track. Listings marked out of stock step aside when a cheaper in-stock option exists.
One number borrowed from the cheapest live listing, nothing more. It moves when retailer prices or stock move.
How a drop gets counted
Same variant, same retailer, two recordings. When the newer selling price sits below the older one, we record the difference and show it on the price drops page.
We never measure drops against MRP. The gap between a printed maximum and the street price is a discount label, not movement. Counting it as a drop would make half the market look like a bargain every day of the year.
Checked, current, historical
Three words explain most of what this site shows you, from the Last Checked line on a phone page to the price history chart.
-
Checked
When we recorded the price. This is the date printed next to prices across the site.
-
Current
The latest price record available for that listing, and the one shown as today's price.
-
Historical
Earlier recorded observations, retained so price changes stay visible over time.
Official and unofficial listings can have different terms
The same phone model may be available through official and unofficial distribution channels. We display the availability and warranty information provided by the source so you can understand the listing before purchasing. Stock status travels with every record we keep, in stock, limited stock, pre-order, coming soon or out of stock, because a cheap figure on an empty shelf helps nobody.
Where the numbers come from
We use manufacturer, distributor, retailer and other relevant product sources. The source associated with a price is shown where available.
- Manufacturer and distributor pages
- Retailer websites and physical stores
- Marketplace listings
- Other public product sources
Where prices differ and where we fall short
Two shops can list the same phone at different prices without either being wrong. Variants, colours, warranty backing, promotions and stock pressure all move numbers in different directions. We keep each retailer's figure separate, because an average price is a number nobody actually charges.
Our side has limits too. Retailer pages go stale, promotions end between checks, some sellers are not on our list yet, and not every source publishes complete variant data. When we catch a bad record we correct it or retire it.
Nothing on this site is a promise that a price will hold. Confirm the final amount, variant, stock and warranty with the seller before you pay. We repeat this on every page because it matters on every page.
