    Title: Best budget phones in 2020.

    Me: WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT!

    Also me: My life is a lie…



  3. Italian Deli on December 8, 2020 at 9:09 pm

    Why isn’t the Microsoft windows phone here



  4. Ankur Singhal on December 8, 2020 at 9:10 pm

    These are not budget phones !!!



  5. Alusine Kargbo on December 8, 2020 at 9:11 pm

    Steve jobs looking rough these days

    Two things: Why does everybody keep talking about the “look” of the phone? The display and cameras are what matter externally because every whole should be in a protective case. Second for everybody who keeps talking about none of these being “budget” you seem to think you can get a decent smart phone for under $100 (is that even possible?). I agree that I would not put all of these in the budget category since for me I think it is $300 and under but even half decent tech is going to cost you

    I can’t get over how he sounds SO much like Bruce banner LOL



  9. THE DUKE on December 8, 2020 at 9:15 pm

    Huawei mate 20 x has a stylus. I’m watching this video on mine now



  10. LazyAndBeyond on December 8, 2020 at 9:15 pm

    None of them sadly are better than getting an old flagship
    Get a lg v40, better than every phone listed in everything (apart than camera of 3a but still very close and u got 2 extra cams in v40) for 200$
    If u want cheaper get g7, same CPU (sd 845) one less camera (no telephoto just normal and ultra wide) lcd instead of oled (even tho lcd it’s still the best lcd ever put to a phone, it beats the budget oleds u find in these phones), a little bit smaller battery (3000vs3300) for about 150$ or less



  11. Chandra Gyaan on December 8, 2020 at 9:16 pm

  20. dato 17 on December 8, 2020 at 9:30 pm

    realme x2 ????



  21. K TweZi on December 8, 2020 at 9:32 pm

    Yeah I’m really impressed with Motorola! I just broke my E5 plus which was badass had loudspeakers a 5000 milliamp battery Gorilla Glass water resistant I was fast with the processor. I can’t find them no more they put out a second version of them that didn’t have Gorilla Glass and I don’t think they were water resistant. They got the G8 plus out now internationally. I’m curious if you can unlock it in the states? oh and I say fuck the Google pixel phone because you think your phone is being hacked and watched now. you’ll be able to do nothing without that shit going straight to NSA! Privacy is a very big issue to me and it should be to everybody else too!



  22. vintaqe_ vibez on December 8, 2020 at 9:36 pm

    Actually i don’t have money 😭



  23. Blue Line on December 8, 2020 at 9:38 pm

    Since smartphones and laptops are literally (or almost) comparable in price to each other now, just grade budget phones like you do for laptops.
    > $800 and over (flagship territory for smartphones; high-quality laptops)
    > $550 to 800 (upper mid-range for smartphones; decent quality laptops for everyday needs)
    > $300 to 550 (mid-range smartphones that are on the affordable side; budget-grade laptops sit around this price)
    > Anything under $300 US for smartphones is pretty much budget grade. The specs on those phones are not going to be as impressive as the ones that you find on the midrange phones.

    Example of a true mid-range phone is probably the Galaxy A71, as a baseline with good battery life and decent performance for a mid-ranger.



  24. Ty Fooo on December 8, 2020 at 9:38 pm

  25. Rad on December 8, 2020 at 9:39 pm

  29. Ala Bala on December 8, 2020 at 9:41 pm

  30. Finlay Sharpe on December 8, 2020 at 9:43 pm

  31. Vasanth Sithambaranathan on December 8, 2020 at 9:50 pm
