Cheap Entry Level Phones Part 2

Realme 5S

+

• Powerful chipset for the price

• Has a fingerprint sensor

• Outstanding battery life, 5,000mAh battery

• 64GB base storage, dedicated microSD slot

• Quad-camera with 64MP primary

• Large screen, small notch
  -

• Small resolution screen

• Dated MicroUsB port
  It's not the cheapest one, more like the middle of the road, but that secures you a powerful Snapdragon 665 chipset, which delivers by far the most oomph under a 720p screen you can get for similar money.
  You also get plenty of battery and storage, plus a microSD slot ensures you won't be strapped for memory. It's a rarity to find a fingerprint sensor in this class, and the 5s has that too. The 64MP camera, part of a quad-camera setup, rounds up the 5s standout features.

  The Redmi 9 is a great budget smartphone with a large 6.53" 1080p screen and powerful enough Helio G80 chip. It has four cameras on its back - wide, ultrawide, macro and depth.

Nokia 4.2

+

• Super cool light-up power button, overall nice design

• Its small screen means it's compact

• Has a fingerprint sensor, NFC

• Runs Android One, so it has a clean OS with good update potential
