Table of Contents
Budget phones have improved a lot. You can now get a big battery, a smooth screen and a decent camera without spending a fortune.
What we looked for
- At least 5000 mAh battery with fast charging.
- 90 Hz or 120 Hz display.
- 128 GB storage.
- Two or more years of software updates.
Our top picks
The Novaro N5 leads with its bright AMOLED screen and clean software. The Zenix Z12 is the battery champion, easily lasting two days. For photos, the Orbit Snap 4 takes the most natural pictures in daylight.
Which one should you buy
Choose the screen if you watch a lot of video, the battery if you travel, and the camera if you share photos every day. All three come with official warranty.
