Top Best Budget Smartphones
2021 End 2022
So you fancy yourself a quality new smartphone but the problem is your financial resources are about as healthy as a diabetic pensioner on a strict diet of greg's pasties and buckfast well don't you worry you're pretty way heads because these days you can spunk out less than 300 quid on a 2022 budget smartphone and still expect brilliant battery life.
impressive gaming performance dependable camera tech and quite often some very handy features that you won't find in mega pricey flagships stuff like a headphone jack and memory card support so here's my pick of the best mobile phones brands smartphones you can get for under 300 pounds right now towards the end of 2021 2022 now first up for just 250 quid you can buy one of my favorite affordable phones of 2021 the best smart android mobile redmi note 10 pro from xiaomi it's a smart looking slab with gorilla glass 5
plated up front and it is splash resistant too in case you get a little
bit over excited that layer of gorilla glasses protected a gorgeous and rather sizable 6.67 inch amoled screen which for the price is proper spooge-worthy stream some hdr shenanigans in netflix and you'll be treated to crisp contrast and lifelike visuals and that display also supports a 120 hertz maximum refresh rate as well which for an all led screen at this budget price point is frankly stunning you've got a stereo speaker setup you've got dependable bluetooth as well and you do have a headphone jack with a good bit of high res audio support too sploosh of course how well you'll actually get on with the redmi note 10 pro or any xiaomi smartphone depends on your general feelings towards xiaomi's miui launcher which in its 12th iteration i'm really really embracing because it's got more of a stock android vibe with a veritable.
feast of bonus features chucked on top i'm talking the likes of the
all-encompassing control center and a proper one-handed mode as well as the ability to stream youtube audio while the screen is hibernating in general customization is a lot easier than with stock android as well the redmi note 10 pro's snapdragon 732g chipset can handle everyday gaming shenanigans no worries although there is
no 5g support sadly battery life is solid and i really enjoy that 108
megapixel rear cam too which does a blinding job for your family picks and horn movies.
if your fancy has been well and truly tickled another one of my favorites at this price point and one with a nice clean ui is the oneplus latest phone nord ce5g definitely don't be fooled by that deathly dull plastic finish besides the slightly annoying lack of any micro sd memory card support here there's pretty much bugger roll to properly complain about with the oneplus nord ce 5g for a
start that 6.43 inch amoled screen is bright sharp and poppy with a good bit of hdr 10 support chucked in as well and 90 hertz refresh rate as well for a bit smooth sealing no worries on the audio front either with a dependable bit of bluetooth streaming and look there's
even a rusty headphone jack for plugging in latest oneplus excellent oxygen os launcher squat smugly on top of android 11. and i really really like it so it retains that sort of stock android vibe but adds in a
ton of bonus features that are really useful like the excellent chill out zen mode which is great for just blocking out everything that's going on with humanity and you've also got the reassurance of a bit of future-proofing as well with one pluses guarantee of two os updates and three years of security updates on top of that as well so not quite as strong a commitment as you'll get from the likes of google of course and uh nokia but still pretty damn solid anyway the nord ce 5g is powered by qualcomm's snapdragon 750g platform so every day running is lovely and jutter free you can blast through all but the
most demanding of android titles like the pubg call of duty mobile no worries and you've got a dedicated gaming mode to help out too and as the name of this smartphone very heavily hints yes you do have a 5g modem built into that snapdragon chipset as well for super nippy internet based shenanigans battery life is proper good so you shouldn't run out of juice before the end of a long day even with plenty of screen on time while the 64 meg primary camera sensor
does a decent enough job for your everyday photography with an ultra wide angle lens also on offer and some pretty decent 4k video smarts for shoots in your horn movies with the fam and definitely do not sleep on the absolute bloody lootly brilliant.
poco x3 prowhich only just hit the uk for a budget of 229 quid sometimes you can see it reduced to around the sort of 200 pound
mark in sales and specials as well and it packs some incredible specs and features again for that sort of price point it's essentially a reinvigorated version of the poco x3 nfc which i absolutely gushed all over in my best budget roundups of last year and now you've got boosted performance thanks to the snapdragon 860 chipset stuffed
inside this can handle absolutely anything you need even a bit of gentian impact if you keep the details on low to medium settings like the redmi note 10 pro you've got a 6.67 inch full hd plus display although this time it is ips rather than oled tech but you still get
reasonably punchy colors plus an adaptive refresh rate that maxes out at 120 hertz you've once again got a stereo speaker set up here on the poco x3 pro plus a headphone jack and reliable bluetooth streaming to boot there's nfc for your contactless payments there's a
really reliable and fast working edge mounted fingerprint sensor basically everything you bloody need and i really like the 48 megapixel main camera sensor as well which captures sharp pictures of even the most squirmy of subjects as well as respectable 4k footage in fact beyond this slightly garish design there's not really much at all to dislike about the poco x3 pro it's proper lush now poko used to be part of the xiaomi family but now even though it's split from its parent company it does still use the me ui launcher on all
of its poco smartphones so beware you will have that clunky heavy launcher with all of the crap wear and the questionable number of future updates that comes along with it poco fans can also pick up the fresher x3 gt with its more mature restrained design you've got
a shatter resistant gorilla glass victus display this time and the same feature packed miui experience however bear in mind that some of the great features found on the poco x3 pro have suddenly been axed for this gt model so for instance there's no micro sd memory card
support to expand the 128 or 256 gigs of onboard storage although at least that storage is still the nippy ufs 3.1 variety no real changes in the screen tech that near 6.7 inch ips display is near identical to the pro model with 120hz refresh and hdr support and while there is a stereo speaker arrangement and flawless bluetooth 5.2 streaming on
the gt sadly poco has axed the headphone jack as crudely as it did away with that memory card slot so why then would you want to get the poco x3 gt over that excellent pro model well there's always
that mediatek dimensionally 1100 chipset plus the dedicated liquid cool tech which means that you can piss away hours on end with memory goblin games like gentian impact you've got 5g support
here on the poco x3 gt across two sims at once as well as wi-fi 6 support so connectivity is absolutely hot on top of that the gt's 5 000 milliamp battery got me through the most crazy of days absolutely no worries whatsoever that's helped along by the energy efficiency of
that mediatek chipset and even when you do finally kill the poco x3 gt stone dead well it's got 65 watt charging support so it'll be back up to full in a jiffy that 64 megapixel camera can cope with all manner of tricky shots including hyperactive kids off their tits on sherbet and haribo while your 4k haul movies will be packed with detail and if all of that sounds proper tempting and you're not put off too much
by the lack of the headphone jack the microsd memory card support will definitely go check out my full in-depth poco x3 gt review up right now now.
motorola is another manufacturer that's well worth keeping an eye on at this sort of budget price point and one of the best new budget smartphones for motorola is the freshly moto edge 20 lite the most affordable of its trio of new flagship smartphones the one weak point of the edge 20 light is the mediatek dimensionally 720 chipset which
is fine for everyday performance but gamers will definitely want to look elsewhere you can you know breeze to a game of call of duty mobile on lower detail settings but i wouldn't push it any further than that although motorola like many other manufacturers does throw
on a dedicated gaming tool which allows you to block notifications record your progress all that good stuff but the moto edge 20 light definitely excels when it comes to battery life you've got yet another 5 000 milliamp whopper crammed inside of this thing complete with 30 watt charging support and i absolutely adore that pocket filling 6.7 inch display it's an oled panel with sharp contrast strong brightness and hdr 10 plus streaming support as for the camera tech that means sensor is another 108 megapixel beast that uses pixel
binning to produce bright natural looking snaps and anyone who's off to a blower on a tightish budget should also have a squint out real me and this here.
real me 8 pro is one of the latest and freshest budget smartphones which you can grab for 279 quid here in the uk the 8 pro is actually reasonably compact and light at just 6.4 inches and 176 grams and it also sports a rather understated design understated apart from the
massive slogan branded right across the arsenal that is real miui is the launcher of choice here naturally and like miui it is a bit of a hefty bugger you do see occasional bits of junkiness here and there but it does also offer a bug a ton of extra bonus features including the usual one-handed shenanigans and bonus customization options and like many of the other phones in this budget blower collection you've got microsd support to expand the onboard storage and nfc support as well for your contactless payments that all led screen is a blinder although sadly it does max out at 60 hertz refresh unlike most of the rival devices we've already covered and the real me8 pro also makes do with a single bottom mounted speaker there's no stereo action
here the snapdragon 720g chipset can deal with everything up to and including games like call of duty and pubg but you will want to look to the likes of the poco x3 pro if you want to play more demanding titles well the 4 500 million battery delivers strong returns easily
lasting a pretty full-on day so overall i've got to say the real me 8 pro
definitely ain't quite as impressive in the specs department compared with a lot of the other phones i've already covered in this best budget smartphone roundup and it is towards the upper end of that 300 pound budget price point as well but if you spy a great deal on it then i've still really enjoyed my time with the real me april there's lots to love here.
so go for it and last up even samsung fans will find some galaxy handsets for under 300 quid these days which still boast a similar 1ui experience to those wallet empty and s21 blowers now admittedly these budget galaxy smartphones are a bit of a mixed bag usually to say the very least but one of the very best ones the ink bag itself in
2021 one that really impressed me is the samsung galaxy m32 which makes surprisingly few compromises to hit that sub 300 pound price point first impressions on admittedly amazing thanks to the cheapy plasticky design but peer past them not particularly great aesthetics and you can't help but adore that 6.4 inch super amoled screen which
is as bright punchy and gorgeous as any of its affordable rivals despite the lack of hdr support the 90 hertz refresh rate matches most of the competition here and to be fair my bug at all peepers commonly tell the difference between 90 and 120 hertz these days
anyway and you've also got a dedicated headphone jack as well for plugging in for some slick sound and audio performance comes courtesy of mediatek's helio g80 which does occasionally stumble but can generally cope with everyday existence just fine as long as
you aren't much of a gamer and no sadly there is bugger all support for 5g so if you do want that bit of connectivity future proof and you'll have to look elsewhere but at least the heliochipset doesn't sap much power and once again you've got a mighty 5 000 milliamp
battery so again the galaxy m32 can power its way through the most
ridiculous of days just like a lot of the competition samsung's one ui
launcher is as lovable and features stuffed as always even if it does double down on quite a lot of services complete with the knox security suite to keep your privates out of the eyes of naughty
criminal types when it comes to the camera tech a lot of budget samsung smartphones don't so much drop the ball as chuck it on the ground and stamp on it several times over but the galaxy m32 64 megapixel main camera sensor can capture natural looking picks and great family snaps even in quite testing conditions although yes the video chops aren't too hot at all so if you like shooting horn movies you'll want to look elsewhere so definitely some compromises as far as the hardware is concerned with the galaxy m32 but the software
experience is fantastic and i have very few complaints really at this sort of price so that is it that is my roundup of the very best budget-friendly smartphones you can grab yourself in the uk towards the end of 2021 for under 300 pounds i did have to leave some out unfortunately some didn't quite make the cuts but definitely if i missed out your own favorite budget blower that costs under 300 quid definitely let me know in the comments below?
