You can already have a relatively strong phone for relatively little money.

The eight seeds are the eight seeds. You can insist, you can argue, but in a modern phone, due to the energy-saving features and multitasking, this is already a minimum. Of course, there can be big differences between eight cores and eight cores. Low or higher clock speeds, older or newly developed processor cores, many things can affect performance. Plus, it’s not just the processor that gets involved in the game, but also the graphics accelerator or memory capacity, for example. However, if one wants to buy a mid-range phone, even if one thinks in the lower price range of the mid-range, the minimum is not to put it under eight cores.

We will now try to help you find the cheapest eight-core phones. There will be stronger and weaker ones, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon or MediaTek units, smaller and larger displays, but there will be no difference in anything between them, the number of processor cores.

1. ZTE V5 Pro N939Sc

We are the first to deal with a well-known brand in Hungary, ZTE, and one of their phones. The phone called the V5 Pro is a phone with a Snapdragon central unit. Of the processor’s eight cores, 4 belong to power-saving mode, with a maximum clock speed of 1 GHz, while another four are responsible for high performance, which can operate at up to 1,5 GHz. The device’s graphics accelerator is an Adreno 405. In addition to the Snapdragon unit, we find 2GB of memory and 16GB of storage, which isn’t much to say, maybe just enough for a lower-middle-class phone.

The phone's display is 5,5 inches, based on IPS technology, with a resolution of FHD, which is 1920 x 1080 pixels. We can use two cameras for photography and video. The front panel self-timer camera is 5 while the back panel camera is 13 megapixels. Of course there is Bluetooth and wifi as well as GPS support so we don’t get lost. The built-in battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh. The disadvantage of the phone is that unfortunately it does not support the B20 800 MHz LTE band used in Hungary, so buy it only if you do not network much in your mobile and / or big city, where there is also a broadband net next to or instead of the B20.

It is clear that the ZTE V5 Pro is not the youngest device. Nevertheless, considering the above, it is worth thinking about purchasing it because it is a particularly strong iron compared to its price.

Here you will find, at the time of writing, the price is $ 98,99: ZTE V5 Pro N939Sc

2. Leagoo Kiicaa MIX

Yes, it is still here, my personal favorite, the LEAGOO KIICAA MIX, is still available for purchase. I praised it so much that one of our readers wrote an article about their own phone, so it turned out I didn’t accidentally praise the cell phone nose to mouth!

In terms of hardware, the LEAGOO KIICAA MIX is the pinnacle of this category. The display is 5,5 inches and not HD, but already has FullHD, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. The central unit here is also eight-core, but it no longer runs at 1,3 but at 1,5 GHz, and it is also more modern than in previous phones. The memory in this mobile is also 3 GB and the built-in storage is 32 GB, which is quite large.

In addition, the LEAGOO phone is the only modern, frameless phone in the field. The battery has an average capacity of 3000 mAh, the cameras are a bit better than average, for example 13 + 2 megapixels on the back. The phone for the current price is still a grand prize.

Here you will find it for $ 100: Leagoo Kiicaa MIX

3. LeTV Le S3 X522

There are sometimes offers that scrub the must-see category, and that’s it. If you’re looking for a cheap strong phone, this is something to think about.

I wouldn't even say long, let's see what kind of iron we get under 30 thousand! Most importantly, the phone features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 652 chip, which includes an eight-core 1,8GHz running processor, as well as an Adreno 510 GPU for graphics tasks.

The phone has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM, which I think is still good value these days. The display of the phone is 5,5 inches and the resolution is full HD, i.e. 1920 x 1080 pixels. Of course, you can find a camera on both the front and back, the former 8 and the latter 16 megapixels. To access wireless networks, we get a modern WiFi that supports 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac standards, which is already dual-channel, with access to both 2,4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. The built-in battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh.

It would not be nice to keep quiet that the phone does not support the domestic B20 800 MHz LTE band, so there is a good chance that broadband internet will only be available in our larger cities. For this reason, we recommend the phone to those who either have little internet access or live in an area where there is an LTE connection without the B20, but they will really win the main prize because for good money we would only get a quad-core processor, HD resolution and 2GB of memory from another manufacturer. .

A LeTV Le S3 X522 so now it costs 97,67 dollars, which means a price below 26 thousand forints even with the currently quite high dollar exchange rate. The distributor promises duty- and VAT-free arrival with the method of delivery called European Direct Mail, so this does not increase the costs, and the cost of delivery is only HUF 500.

4. HUAWEI Honor 6A

Huawei’s phone isn’t the strongest on this list, but since it’s a popular manufacturer, because it makes really good phones, and since this phone also has eight cores, we couldn’t miss it. The central unit here is also a Snapdragon, but not a very fresh 430 that can reach 1,4 GHz. The phone memory is 2- the built-in storage is 16 GB.

The mobile with a classic design has a 5-inch, so different from today’s trend, the smaller the display. That’s not a downside, say, many people want a smaller phone, but fewer and fewer can get it. The display is based on IPS technology and has a resolution of HD, ie 1280 x 720 pixels. There is a camera on the front and back as well as we were used to. The self-timer camera is 5, while the back is 13 megapixels.

Of course, there are all kinds of sensors here too, such as an accelerometer, a compass, a gravity sensor, a gyroscope, but the fingerprint reader couldn’t be left out either. Radios also have everything you need, wifi, Bluetooth, which supports n standards, GPS, GLONASS and BDS satellites can be used for navigation, and fortunately we did not miss the support of the domestic b20 800 MHz LTE standard.

The price of the Huawei Honor 6A is a little higher than the previous phone, perhaps because of the name. At the same time, $ 110 is still not much to say, as it means a price below HUF 30. You can find the phone here: HUAWEI Honor 6A

5. Vernee Thor E

Vernee's phone is not a new player in the market, so you could meet it in our recommendations. Although we offered it last year, it doesn’t detract from its values, which also shows that it’s still on our list.

The Vernee phone has many valuable features that have made it one of the best-selling handsets in the manufacturer’s range. Here, for example, is the processor right away, which is pretty muscular in this category with its eight cores and 1,3 GHz clock. Then there’s the memory, which is not the minimum of 2, but the already perfectly usable 3 GB. The storage also remained at 16 GB, which we think is already basic.

The device’s display is 5 inches, which will be loved by those who don’t tweak battery-sized phones. The resolution here is also HD, like the previous Xiaomi device. Another interesting feature of the phone is the battery with a multi-core processor, which has a capacity of no less than 5020 mAh. This size is pretty much out of the category, upwards, of course.

Interestingly, this phone is also cheaper now from European stock than if we ordered it from China. The stock is probably not very large, so if you want to be the owner of such a phone within 7 working days, hurry up!

You can find the phone here for 110 dollars, which is a little under 30 thousand forints: Vernee Thor E

As you can see, you can find interesting and powerful phones at this low price level, and you can choose not only from the offerings of emerging manufacturers, but also from the handsets of well-known names. In fact, and there is nothing to argue about, these phones are not the most modern, but they all have 2-3, possibly 3-4 years of carefree use, as they are strong enough and they know everything a modern phone needs to know. .

Pay attention when ordering, you can order Prioroty Line - EU Express in the GearBest store, while In the Banggood store, choose a delivery called European Direct Mail, because with these, the merchant promises a duty and VAT free arrival!  One of our readers has now been placed under customs clearance for a phone ordered with European Direct Mal delivery. We wrote to the merchant, waiting for your resolution. According to information available in millions of places on the net, you do not have to pay customs duties and VAT with this mode of transport, so we also wrote on the basis of this information that the trader promised not to pay. We apologize to those who have been like this reader!
