We are in 2019, and now the most cutting-edge high-end mobiles are already around 1000 euros. But while flagships are getting more and more expensive, cheap mobiles are also getting better. Thus, we can find phones below 300 euros with beautiful designs, high quality screens, great cameras and batteries with excellent autonomy.
The best cheap mobiles of 2019
If we have to talk about affordable phones, we will certainly have to look away from Apple devices and focus explicitly on devices with Android operating system. The cheapest ones will always be Chinese Android phones, but the truth is that we also have terminals from brands like Samsung or Huawei with a lot to contribute and at the most popular prices. Let's see!
Samsung Galaxy A50
We could say that until recently Samsung was not exactly known for its affordable price phones. Something that in 2019 seems to have changed with cheap terminals but that collect a good handful of features of their more premium mobiles. Thus, we find this Galaxy A50: the device with the best screen on the list, a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel.
It also mounts a powerful Samsung Exynos 9610 processor (146,000 points in Antutu) and a 4,000mAh battery that ensures above-average autonomy. At the storage level, it offers 128GB of internal space, as well as 4GB of RAM.
The camera is another of the strengths of the phone: a triple rear camera with a 25MP main sensor, an 8MP wide-angle sensor, and a third 5MP sensor for depth. All this without detracting from the selfie camera, which also looks graceful with a good 25MP sensor.
Approximate price *: 279.00 euros (see on Amazon)
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
Probably the best cheap mobile of 2019 as far as value for money is concerned. This smartphone that barely reaches 170 euros, provides a performance in Antutu of 144,000 points, and the best of all is that it is accompanied by a 48MP high-end camera with f / 1.8 aperture.
The device includes a Snapdragon 660 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, a 6.3 ”Full HD + screen and a 4,000mAh battery. There are not many brands that offer so much for so little.
Approximate price *: 166.00 euros (see on Amazon)
Honor 8X
If we talk about cheap and powerful terminals we cannot forget the Honor 8X either. Leaving aside all the controversy that has engulfed Huawei in recent months, the company's mobiles continue to be one of the strongest bets on the market. Their mid-range mobiles, such as this Honor 8X offer good features, and we should certainly take that into account if we are looking for a cheap Android phone. that performs well in all fields.
The terminal has one of the highest scores in Antutu with 139,000 points, a figure that very few reach within its price range. It equips a Kirin 710 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and an extensive 3,750mAh battery. On an aesthetic level, it is one of the most attractive, with an exquisite design, 6.5-inch Full HD + screen and a 20MP main camera with f / 1.8 aperture.
Approximate price *: 186.00 euros (see on Amazon)
Nokia 6.1
Although we are facing a mobile phone from more than a year ago, the Nokia 6.1 is still a very attractive bet in 2019 (especially now that its price has dropped). It has Android One system, which means that, although it comes with Android Oreo as standard, we can update it to the latest Android 9 Pie as soon as we take it out of the box and get the latest security patches.
At the hardware level we find a smartphone equipped with a really resistant and colorful chassis, Snapdragon 630 chipset, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 5.5-inch Full HD screen, NFC, 3,000mAh battery and a remarkable 16MP camera with f / 2.0 aperture.
Approximate price *: 179.88 euros (see on Amazon)
Motorola Moto G7 Plus
The G7 Plus is the improved version of the Moto G7, with a main camera that goes from 12MP to 16MP resolution. What's more, It has NFC to make payments with the mobile, a feature that is normally only seen in high-end terminals due to the fact that it tends to significantly increase production costs.
For the rest, this new version of the Moto G7 mounts a processor Qualcomm's Snapdragon 636 Octa Core, Android 9.0 and 6.2-inch Full HD + screen. All this together with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. A terminal with an elegant design and a performance of the best within its price range.
Approximate price *: 255 euros (see on Amazon)
