By far, most phones are bought from operators, so the free offer is poor. Many cheap but at the same time 'good' phones cannot be bought in our stores, which is a kind of pity. That's why we've scoured the web to find out which are the best budget smartphones of 2018.
Because in the mobile phone market there is no fair competition, usually the prices of phones are like this, as determined by the 'manufacturer' in agreements with operators, and the diversity of the offer is poor. On our soil, we can more or less only choose honey an offer of three brands if Honor is added to Huawei, or four if considered separately. Jump to a foreign online store, we chose amazon.de, well shows a completely different 'picture'.
There we found phones, which can boast the title of the best cheap smartphones of 2018.
Xiaomi Mi A2
A really good cheap phone, because above all it is well-made, has a good screen, solid and diverse capabilities and well-designed cameras - two rear and one front. In terms of performance, it is convincingly at the top of its category.
Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
The phone features a premium look with a notch at the top and a 19:9 screen ratio. It has solid performance – dual rear cameras, and 64GB of storage is expandable via the memory camera slot.
Honor 9 Lite
It has been in the market for a while, but still for a better phone in the lower price range. Since it is slowly saying goodbye, the price may be even better. Otherwise, it boasts an attractive design and good capabilities.
UMIDIGI One Pro 9
The capabilities of the phone, a lesser-known brand in our country, are almost too good to be true. Fast wireless charging, NFC, IPS screen in 19:9 ratio, dual front and rear cameras, side fingerprint sensor and attractive appearance.
Motorola Moto E5
Another Motorola that is ranked among the better representatives of the lower class. The phone is characterized by an attractive design and build quality, as well as a good screen, camera, fingerprint sensor and battery life.
Motorola Moto G6 Play
Another budget Motorola phone that looks premium, even though the body is plastic. The screen has an 18:9 aspect ratio, and the battery and fingerprint sensor also perform well.
Nokia 5.1
This phone does not look like a low-end product. It looks and feels premium, quality built with attention to detail, and stands out for its aluminum body, 19:8 screen ratio and camera.
HTC Desire 12+
This phone's screen and camera aren't the best, but it has a light and comfortable design and overall good performance.
Motorola Moto E5 Plus
Apparently, Motorola has a lot of good phones in the lower category. Each has its advantages (and disadvantages), the e5 model is characterized by a large screen and, above all, a good battery.
Motorola Moto G5
It was introduced more than a year ago, it is still considered one of the best in its category. It is distinguished by the quality of its manufacture, and its capacity and battery show that it is from another 'time'.
