Best £400 Smartphones Reviewed (Summer 2020) | Forget flagships…
Reviews of the best smartphones you can buy in 2020 for under £400, if your budget won’t stretch to those expensive flagship phones. These are my favourite mid-range Androids right now, featuring the greatest camera tech, speediest performance, impressive battery life and beyond.
My pick of the best £400 budget mobiles includes the Sony Xperia 10 ii, Oppo Find X2 Lite, Reno 2, Pixel 3a, Huawei Nova 5T and Motorola One Hyper. Of course, lots of other great mid-rangers are yet to launch here in 2020, including the Pixel 4a, OnePlus Nord and more. I’m also keenly waiting to review the Motorola Moto G 5G Plus, which delivers a quad lens camera, Snapdragon 765 performance and 5000mAh battery from 300 to 350 quid.
I’ve fully reviewed each of the smartphones mentioned in this round-up, so go check out those videos for all you need to know. But here’s a quick summary of why I love each handset, from the clever stress-free camera tech to the feature-packed UI and dependable all-day battery performance. I’ve also published my pick of the best sub-£300 and £200 mobiles if your budget is even tighter.
Mi k30 is my dream phn
Should I buy the : Xiaomi Note 9 Pro, Xiaomi Note 9s or the k20 Pro 🥴
Great information thanks Chris 👍, I love all your informative videos 🙏
Where do u get the anime wallpapers from? Pls tell me
How do you think the OnePlus Nord and Realme x50 5g would stack up against these ones?
Bruh, i need sauce for all the animes in here.
Think you could add sauce for movie youre showing?
Time for another update??? I’m mad keen on finding a PREMIUM dual sim, dedicated memory card slot, premium phone (& camera). Please help Chris!!
This is a beautiful phone
Wow review. You are always over the top.
Surprised that you didn’t mention the Samsung A51?

Sorry but i disagree , if you’re buying a smartphone with a battery under 5000 mah in 2020 you’re being duped.The worst think is a dying battery when you need your phone, when you’re away from home,when you need to make a call or look something up etc.That’s the most important think when considering buying a phone,no matter if that phone is buget/mid or high end,the fast charging it’s useless when you’re away.
If i would buy something that delivers the right value for money i would rather choose from Xiaomi,a company that i used before and never had an issue.
You can for exemple one redmi note 9s and a pocophone x3(with or without the NFC) for the £400 buget you suggested and i think you will be way more satisfied by doing so.
I wish they came with wireless charging
Nothing beats the £999 mac stand XD
whats the best option for a phone with near stock android and a very good video camera ?
S10lite lul
Can you do a review for the Samsung A42 5g please?
review on the xiaomi mi note 10 lite please🙏🏻😁
Great Channel! About to upgrade my blower, Oppo Reno 2 or Google Pixel 3a XL what do you think? is 64gb storage on the 3a xl enough for every day pics, and apps etc? Cheers. Greg
ive seen brand new oneplus 7 pro 5Gs go for around 400, imo they are better because they have a more premium feel, high refresh rate panels and that clean oxygen OS. Snapdragon 855 is still very good in 2020 going on to 2021 i think
is pixel 3a worth my first phone
Are we just going to ignore the new iPhone Se
Huawei P30 now at £399 on UK store (£189 off), in my humble view, easily the best deal right now – about to order as smaller backup to my P30 Pro 😃
Could of course get your cam recorder out of mothballs he he 😂 not too sure if you can still get the vhs tapes to put in it 😉
Can you please make a cheapest 865 phones video. I want to update and there are just way too many phones out at the moment and I’m confused.
Hard to understand your accent and since you dont write the phone names i dont even know what phone you are talking about!!
Samsung 10 lite is good as well.If we can overlook the fact that it doesn’t have an headphone Jack and the usefulness of the macro camera, then it’s really a good buy ,especially the Snapdragon version .
what about the galaxy A71
please make a video on how to connect your ps4 to your phones 🙏🙏
why no realme?
Glowing ringpiece, realy !!!
Please give me the link for the wallpaper
Is the Samsung A71 not as good as these phones?
Thanks! Great content! Best luck for you 🙂
Motorola one fusion+ seems like the best phone in this category
Just forget them all (or throw them to the rubbish bin) and get the LG G8s thinQ for around €350 now. No contest .. period
Thanks for these reviews. Just wish to say that there are a few other reasons other than limited budget for buying a "non-flagship" phone. Personally I dont want to put £800 of my money into a phone that I go wafting around that might get smashed, nicked or drowned. I need to view the internet, buy stuff, banking, watch your vids (or similar), message, twitter, sometimes even phone (yes speak). I dont need the crispest sound, the cleanest image, the fastest operability ever known to man in this gadget. All I need can be had quite well without spending the ludicrous amounts the manufacturers want us to. I can use the remaining £400+ to buy something else.
guess he despises anime xDD
Will nova 5t continue to be good in the next 2 years ? If i buy a phone , i want to have it for a period of time .
Those prices for Oppo is crazy! It seems we are at a disparity here in Sweden and much dearer which usually isn’t the case with other phones, so if you’d like to do some grey market import: Please! Go right ahead!
A quick check on Price Spy Sweden (Prisjakt.nu) gives these prices:
The Oppo Find X2 Lite is 6,005 SEK or changed to UK prices: £518 GBP
The full Oppo Find X2 is 10,072 SEK or £870 GBP
Oppo Find X2 Pro (12 GB/256GB) is a whopping 17,231 SEK OR £1489 GBP
(!!!)
While the older Oppo Reno 2 still goes for 4294 SEK or £ 380 GBP
The even older Reno (no number) (6GB Ram/256 GB storage) is still £363 GBP
So, if you can send them over and make a buck, we would be grateful! It seems most vendors here are from other countries who take the opportunity to make a buck as there is no one selling the brand here.
“… when you really can’t be f&#?ed with work” 🥴
no Samsung (ಠಿ‸ʖಠ)?
Time to redo this list to include OnePlus Nord, Mi Note 10 Lite and Moto G9 plus?
