Having said that, there are a few key factors you should consider before you hit \u201cadd to cart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">Performance<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">Budget phones won\u2019t compete with flagships in raw power \u2014 especially when it comes to gaming or editing ultra-high-resolution video \u2014 but they still will handle general users\u2019 everyday needs for web browsing, connecting with friends and loved ones, and taking photos. The faster the processor and the more RAM (memory), the better your phone will run. This means apps will open quicker and run smoother, you can use more apps at once, and your battery will last longer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">Storage space is another big factor to consider. While high-end smartphones come equipped with up to 1TB of storage, we recommend aiming for at least 64GB of built-in storage for budget devices. This ensures you have enough space to store apps, documents, photos, and videos without running out of room down the line \u2014 especially if your budget smartphone has a MicroSD slot to expand its storage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">Cameras<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">While fancy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestproducts.com\/tech\/gadgets\/g607\/instant-film-polaroid-cameras\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.bestproducts.com\/tech\/gadgets\/g607\/instant-film-polaroid-cameras\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"camera\" class=\"body-link css-15p68nt emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">camera<\/a> features like slow motion are rare in budget phones, prioritize a good main sensor for capturing decent photos outdoors and in bright light. Low-light performance won\u2019t be as strong as pricier flagship phones, but fortunately, some budget phones have Night Mode to compensate. As for front-facing cameras, budget phones can easily handle selfies and video chats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">Display<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-kuphpn emevuu60\">If you find yourself glued to your phone like our tech-obsessed editors, you know a good display is crucial. Most budget phones use LCD screens instead of the more vivid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestproducts.com\/tech\/gadgets\/a22131682\/top-rated-oled-tvs-reviewed\/\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.bestproducts.com\/tech\/gadgets\/a22131682\/top-rated-oled-tvs-reviewed\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"OLED\" class=\"body-link css-15p68nt emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OLED<\/a> screens found in expensive phones. But even in the last year, budget phone screens have improved significantly. They offer more pixels for sharper images, stronger glass for greater durability, brighter displays for easier outdoor viewing, and smoother refresh rates for enhanced gaming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Although a good deal is ideal, finding the best budget Android phone goes beyond scoring a cheap deal.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[27028,7068,4233,2306,1560,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-650012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-buying-guide","tag-commerce","tag-editors-choice","tag-mobile","tag-samsung","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
