Want the best features and the good quality on the go
without loosing your wealth? These may be the devices you’re looking for.
While Handsets like
Samsung Galaxy s7 , S7 edge or iPhone 6S are breaking the news , Here's a
selection of our favorite budget phones that you can afford with under than
£199.
1-
Vodafone
Smart Prime 7 (about £75)
The latest in Vodafone’s own-brand
budget phones is the top-end Smart prime 7. The Screen size(5-inch)
is very good for a budget smartphone. The viewing angles aren’t quite as good
as you’d find on a premium device, but it’s pretty clear, bright and colourful.
The phablet is 8mm thick and 128g, feeling well built. And it Runs smoothly
More features:
- Dimensions: 144 x 72.1 x 8mm
- Resolution: 720 x 1280
- Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 5MP
- OS: Android
- CPU: Snapdragon 210
- RAM: 1GB |Storage:8GB
- Battery: 2540mAh
The only 2 things that
can make you hesitate are the weak camera and the not enough storage (8GB). But
for its clear screen and smooth performance and its low price (under £100 )it’s a GREAT DEAL.
2-Vodafone
Smart Ultra 7(about
£135)
The Smart Ultra 7 is a mixed bag when it
comes to software. It’s running the latest version of Android
6 Marshmallow with few modifications. But Vodafone pre-loads a whole collection of its
apps, some of which are useful, but others are just attempts to sell you other
things. You can and should uninstall or disable most of them.
The 13-megapixel camera on the back is
decent, lacking fine detail and producing images that are a bit dull. The HDR
function is a bit slow too, which can produce blurry shots, but on the whole
it’s solid for a phone of this price. The 5-megapixel selfie camera works, but
isn’t anything to write home about.
More features:
- 14cm (5.5in) 1080p LCD
- the phablet : 9mm thick
- Weight: 150g
- Storage: 16 GB
- RAM:2GB | MicroSD card slot
- Battery life : more than a day
- OS: Android 6 Marshmallow
- Rear camera: 13MP | Front camera:5MP
3-EE Harrier Mini (about £99)
The Harrier Mini gets most of the basics
right, but comes with Android 5, which will be two years old very soon. It’s
got a brushed-metal-like plastic back, decent build quality and feels like it
could survive the odd drop. It’s 9.5mm thick and quite light at 124g, which
makes it easy to pocket.
The 12cm (4.7in) 720p screen is quite
small for a modern phone but is pretty good given the price, while 8GB of
built-in storage might not be much, but there’s a microSD slot.
The 8-megapixel camera lacks good colour
balance and detail, but is fine for the occasional emergency snap. Same goes
for the front-facing selfie camera.
The Harrier Mini also comes with quite a
few of EE’s apps, which you may or may not like. Its 1GB of Ram and older
Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor gets the job done. A high-end gaming machine
it is not, but its battery lasts a good day between charges, more if
you’re careful.
4-OnePlus X (about £189)
OnePlus caught our eye
with its first phone last year, but this new addition is even more amazing as
it has managed to go below the £200 mark..
OnePlus has created a
gorgeous design for its new budget range and it's beautiful to hold. Plus the
invite system for the OnePlus X has now been dropped so it's even easier to
grab one of these phones.
The OnePlus X is one of
the best affordable phones in the world right now.
More features:
- Screen size:5-inch | Resolution: 1080 x 1920 | Dimensions: 140 x 69 x 6.9mm
- Weight: 160g
- OS: Android 5.1
- CPU: Snapdragon 801
- Battery: 2525mAh
- Rear camera: 13MP | Front camera:8MP
5-BQ Aquaris M4.5
Great battery life
Good speakers
Middling performance
No Gorilla Glass
You may not have heard of BQ before, and this is the
first time the company has made it into our best cheap phones list. It's still
quite a small company, but the Aquaris M4.5 does feel like a step in the right
direction for budget handsets.
It comes with a bright 4.5-inch screen that while not
Full HD is still an impressive set up and has two decent cameras as well as
good battery life.
More features:
- Weight: 115g
- Dimensions: 131.8 x 63.5 x 8.8mm| Screen size: 4.5-inch| Resolution: 540 x 960
- Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 5MP
- OS: Android 5.1
- CPU: MediaTek MT6735M
- RAM: 2GB |Storage: 8GB
- Battery: 2470mAh
