You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on a high-end phone to enjoy a great phone experience. Thankfully, many budget Android smartphones focus on performance and essential features without breaking the bank.
Google Pixel 7a
The already affordable Google Pixel 7a has gotten even cheaper since the launch of the Pixel 8 series and the upcoming Pixel 8a release. However, it's still a powerful phone and the best phone you can find for the money.
The Pixel 7a is powered by a Tensor G2 chip and has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. You get a 90Hz Full HD display with 24-hour battery life, IP67 dust and water resistance, and above all, an impressive 64MP main camera backed by a useful 13MP ultra-wide camera.
OnePlus Nord N30
The OnePlus Nord N30 costs just under $300, but packs in a number of features you wouldn't normally expect at this price point. Among them are 50W fast wired charging, a high-resolution 108MP main camera with electronic image stabilization, and a beautiful 16MP selfie camera.
The Snapdragon 695 5G chip and 8GB of RAM combine to deliver powerful performance. You also get a sharp display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch response for smooth scrolling and fast response. It also boasts a decent 680 nits of maximum brightness, allowing you to easily see the screen on a sunny day. This is a great budget Android phone for everyday tasks, and the excellent all-day battery life is a welcome bonus.
Moto G Play 2024
Despite the Moto G Play's extremely attractive price, Motorola has delivered significant updates for the 2024 model, making it one of the top Android phone options at unbeatable value.
Among the notable updates is the new Snapdragon 680 chipset for the 2023 model. And, while still relatively modest, you now get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and you can upgrade the latter up to 1TB via microSD.
If that's not enough, you get a 50MP camera that delivers better quality than you'd expect and battery life that can power you for almost two full days.
Samsung Galaxy A54
The Samsung Galaxy A54 is one of the best Android phones for photography in this price range. It has a 50MP main camera that delivers well-saturated and contrasted images, and with an f/1.8 aperture, it performs well in difficult lighting conditions.
You also get a 32MP front camera, ideal for the selfie-loving generation, accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide and macro lens on the rear. On the video side, it's all 4K, with both front and rear cameras offering 30fps, although stabilization is only available at 1080p.
Not only is the A54 a great camera performer, it also offers features like a 120Hz Super AMOLED display, top-notch battery life, and a rare IP67 rating at this price point for peace of mind when shooting at the beach or pool.
Samsung Galaxy A34
While the Samsung Galaxy A34 doesn't have the selfie capabilities of the A54, it still has a decent camera. It also has superior battery life and is available at a lower price. In fact, you can get more than 2 days of battery life depending on your usage.
That’s not all there is to it, though. The A34 boasts a 120Hz Super AMOLED display that’s bright enough to see on a sunny day. Plus, its stylish design gives it a premium feel, while also boasting an excellent IP67 rating that protects against dust, drops in the bath, and harsh weather.
This model has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but there's another model with 8/256GB for faster performance and more storage.
Buying a phone can be overwhelming, with so many options available at so many different price points. You also need to decide which key specifications are important to you.
