Just because you want a cheap cell phone does not mean you have to compromise too much on either performance, features, or design.
For example, there are plenty of smartphones with price tags of around Rs. 20000/- and it is bizarre that a flagship mobile costs at least three times as much.
While these smartphones do not have the sharpest displays, the most powerful processors, or that more unique design, they can offer decent specifications while spending less money.
Why spend expensive money on a flagship mobile phone when you are not a hardcore user who really needs all that power and features?
You can get good enough mobile phones that cost as little as Rs. 20000/- with the specifications and features that the majority of all people need.
Sometimes those who need a flagship mobile may need an extra mobile phone to complement their more expensive mobile phone.
Of course, there are reasons why top mobiles cost so much more, but today you naturally get more for your money than a couple of years ago when you order a new, cheaper mobile phone.
Budget mobiles do not have the same premium design and they more often use plastic for the chassis itself, unlike more expensive phones which are instead constructed of metal and glass. With that said, it is probably appropriate to mention that the plastic today's budget mobiles are constructed of is of good quality so the mobiles do not feel like a cheap toy.
You often do not get the same high amount of built-in memory, the cameras do not have the same high image quality and the processor is slower.
However, you get almost the same advanced features as the flagship mobiles.
What you get are competent mobile phones that work well and well based on how the majority use their mobile phones daily. Most of us are not really professional photographers who need the very highest quality of our mobile cameras and most of us do not use our mobile phones to play those technically demanding mobile games that need a powerful top processor to work optimally. It is how you usually use your mobile phone that determines which category of smartphones is right for you. Flagship is anyway a premium for most users. For what reason should you buy a new expensive flagship mobile if you do not use the performance fully or use the features?
Below I give examples of some mobile phones that despite their affordable price offer a lot in terms of performance, features and to some extent also design. Feel free to compare these mobile phones to find the one that suits you best.
