Best Phones Under 40000 Taka in Bangladesh (2026 Picks)

Searching for the best phones under 40000 taka in Bangladesh? This guide is for buyers who want a clear step up from budget phones: a brighter screen, a faster chip and better build quality, without paying 60,000 taka or more. The short answer: at the time of writing, the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G at 38,000 taka is the strongest pick in this budget. The Galaxy A26 5G is the alternative right at 40,000 taka, and if you want to spend less, the Galaxy A17 5G at 26,000 taka gives you most of the essentials.

Below we explain what changes when you move from a 30k to a 40k budget, compare the models we stock, and help you decide whether stretching your budget is worth it.

Why a 40,000 Taka Budget Is the Sweet Spot

Moving from 30,000 to 40,000 taka does not just buy a slightly better phone. It usually brings three upgrades you feel every day:

• A faster chip. Mid-range chips like Samsung's Exynos 1480 handle heavier games, multitasking and video editing apps far better than entry-level chips.
• A better screen. Full HD+ AMOLED with 120Hz becomes standard, so scrolling and gaming feel smoother.
• Stronger build and protection. Glass backs, better water and dust ratings and in-display fingerprint sensors start appearing here.

Cameras also improve, mainly through optical image stabilisation and better processing, which helps in low light and when recording video.

Best Phones Under 40000 Taka in Bangladesh: Comparison

These are the phones we stock in and around this budget. Prices are at the time of writing; the product page always shows the latest price.

1. Samsung Galaxy A37 5G: best overall

The Samsung Galaxy A37 5G is Samsung's 2026 mid-ranger, announced in March 2026 alongside the A57. At our current price of 38,000 taka it is the phone we would recommend to most people with this budget.

It uses the Exynos 1480, a 4nm chip that is noticeably quicker than the chips in Samsung's budget phones, both in apps and in games. The 6.7-inch full HD+ Super AMOLED screen runs at 120Hz. The rear camera system is led by a 50MP main sensor with OIS, plus an 8MP ultra-wide and a 5MP macro, and there is a 12MP selfie camera.

The 5,000mAh battery supports 45W charging, which is a real advantage over the 25W charging on cheaper Samsung models. It ships with One UI 8.5, and Samsung promises up to six generations of OS upgrades for this series.

Choose it if: you want the most performance and the fastest charging this budget allows.

2. Samsung Galaxy A26 5G: the durable alternative

The Samsung Galaxy A26 5G sits right at 40,000 taka. Its biggest selling point is IP67 dust and water resistance, rare at this price, so it survives rain and accidental drops into water better than most rivals.

The Exynos 1380 chip is a step below the A37's Exynos 1480 but still comfortable for daily use and casual gaming. You get the same 6.7-inch full HD+ Super AMOLED at 120Hz, a 50MP main camera, a 5,000mAh battery with 25W charging and Samsung's promise of up to six major Android upgrades.

At our current prices, the A37 5G costs less and is faster, so the A26 makes the most sense if the A37 is out of stock or if its price changes.

Choose it if: water resistance matters and the A37 is not available.

3. Samsung Galaxy A17 5G: the money-saver

If 40,000 taka is your ceiling rather than your target, the Samsung Galaxy A17 5G at 26,000 taka is worth a serious look. It has a full HD+ Super AMOLED screen (90Hz), 5G, a 50MP main camera with OIS and up to six major Android upgrades. You lose speed and charging, but you keep 12,000 taka in your pocket.

Choose it if: you mostly use social media, calls and YouTube and want the best value.

If you can stretch a little

Just above this budget we also stock the Samsung Galaxy A57 5G at 42,000 taka, the top model of Samsung's 2026 A series, with a thinner body and extra AI camera features. The older Galaxy A36 5G is also available at 46,000 taka, but at today's prices the A37 and A57 are better value.

Other brands in this range

Xiaomi, Realme, Vivo, Honor, Nothing and iQOO all compete at 40,000 taka, often with faster charging or bigger batteries. If you shop for those, confirm the exact specs on the brand's official Bangladesh site and make sure the unit is official, since warranty and updates depend on it.

How to Choose a Phone Under 40,000 Taka

Decide what you need the extra money for

At this budget, every extra 5,000 taka should buy something you will use. Gamers should pay for the chip. Content creators should pay for OIS and video quality. Busy users who are always on the move should pay for fast charging. If none of these matter, a cheaper phone will serve you just as well.

Check the chip, not the RAM number

A phone with a faster chip and 8GB of RAM will usually feel quicker than one with a slower chip and 12GB. Compare chips by name: in Samsung's line, the Exynos 1480 is faster than the 1380, which is faster than the 1330.

Look at charging speed

The difference between 25W and 45W is roughly the difference between a full charge in under an hour and well over an hour. If you rely on your phone all day, it is a real quality-of-life upgrade. Our fast charger guide explains which charger you need to reach those speeds.

Water and dust resistance

IP67 and IP68 ratings mean the phone is sealed against dust and can survive brief immersion in fresh water. IP54 only covers splashes. In the monsoon, a higher rating gives real peace of mind, but never treat it as a reason to take the phone swimming.

Software support and official units

All three Samsung phones above come with long update promises, which protects your investment. Make sure you buy an official unit, because grey-market phones can have network or warranty problems. Our smartphone buying guide covers this and other checks in detail.

Which is the best phone under 40000 taka in Bangladesh right now?

At our prices at the time of writing, the Samsung Galaxy A37 5G at 38,000 taka is the best pick. It combines the Exynos 1480 chip, a 120Hz full HD+ Super AMOLED screen, a 50MP OIS camera, 45W charging and long software support. Prices change, so check the product page before ordering.

Galaxy A37 5G or Galaxy A26 5G: which should I buy?

Choose the A37 5G if you want more speed and faster 45W charging; it is the better phone overall. The A26 5G is still a good buy thanks to its IP67 rating and long update support, but at current prices it costs more than the A37, so it mainly makes sense if the A37 is unavailable.

It depends on how you use your phone. For calls, social media and YouTube, the Galaxy A17 5G at 26,000 taka is enough. If you play games, edit videos, multitask heavily or want fast charging, the extra money for the A37 5G brings a clearly faster chip, a 120Hz screen and much quicker charging.
