Experts selected the best budget smartphones for the beginning of 2024, presenting a small list of six devices. Although this list is presented in the form of a rating, in reality each position is a separate category or even a nomination, writes TechRadar.

Galaxy A54 (best budget Samsung)

This smartphone provides a great combination of functionality, powerful cameras, an outstanding battery and a stylish design - all at an affordable price. The lack of wireless charging, as well as a somewhat bulky and heavy case, are among the shortcomings.

Pixel 7a (Google's best budget smartphone)

This device is an affordable solution to take advantage of the camera magic and AI functionality of the Pixel line, as mentioned in the review.

However, the limited support (compared to Apple and Samsung) and the insufficient battery capacity can cause some disappointment. Still, considering its price, it's an excellent choice.

Samsung Galaxy A13 (best phone under $300)

As a general rule, the more affordable a phone is, the less features it offers, but the Samsung Galaxy A13 ignores these conventions. It provides access to good cameras and a powerful battery, asking for it no more than 11,200 hryvnias. But this is also the price for mediocre performance and lack of moisture protection.

OnePlus 10T (Best Cheap Camera Phone)

Since its first release, the device has become significantly cheaper, as a result of which it now belongs to the more affordable category. At the same time, its functionality remained unchanged, despite the passing of time.

These include high-quality cameras, a great screen, a powerful chipset and fast charging. Among the shortcomings, only limited battery life and an unusual design, which makes the phone uncomfortable to hold, were singled out.

Nokia XR20 5G (the most durable inexpensive smartphone)

Obviously, this is the perfect category for Nokia devices. The XR20 5G model is distinguished by a careful design, in addition, the manufacturer provides a guarantee of free replacement of the screen for a year, ensuring long-term software support.

Despite the restriction that does not allow the simultaneous use of microSD and two SIM cards, experts believe that it is still the best choice for those looking for a reliable phone at a reasonable price.
