Hi all,
Looking for some pointers on a phone for around $300 max.
Must have current Android OS/Security updates, and a good track record from the manufacture of delivering them long term across their products.
No Leagoo or Huawei.
Where do you live. Based on that criteria, I'd say Xiaomi, or if you need American bands, OnePlus 6 can be had for as cheap as $320 these days (6/64). That's a steal, but no SD expansion.
I am in the UK, but have bought from banggood before so do not have a problem going that route if need be.
1. Motorola Moto G Fast - With a 6.4-inch touchscreen, fast processor, and 32GB of storage, the Motorola Moto G Fast is one of the best phones you can buy under $300.
2. Samsung Galaxy A21 - The Samsung Galaxy A21 offers a large 6.5-inch touch screen, a big battery, and plenty of RAM for a smooth experience.
3. Nokia 7.2 - Featuring a 6.3-inch touchscreen with Gorilla Glass protection, a 48MP triple rear-camera, and 128GB of storage, the Nokia 7.2 is a great option for those who want a top-tier experience on a budget.
4. Moto E6 Play - If you're looking for an affordable, yet reliable phone, the Moto E6 Play is a great choice. Featuring a 5.5-inch touchscreen, 16GB of storage, and a reliable battery life, this phone won't disappoint.
5. LG Stylo 5 - The LG Stylo 5 gives you a large 6.2-inch touchscreen with a built-in stylus. With 32GB of storage, a big battery, and an excellent camera for the price, this phone is an excellent value for those looking to stay within their budget.
