The performance is reminiscent of last year’s top mobiles, but the price is orders of magnitude lower. This is the real middle class!

The heatwave is still raging, we don’t like to think about winter, but the holidays will be here at lightning speed, so it’s okay to be in the picture in the affordable mobile market. These devices are suitable for all the usual tasks today, but the goods, especially ridiculously low compared to the domestic supply, we have to pay less than $ 200 for each, ie at today's exchange rate of 56 thousand forints, and even one of the goods does not exceed 48 thousand forints. Now we are showing you five mobiles that we would love to use too!

1. Xiaomi Redmi 5 Note

This phone was released a few months ago and has been a stable place among the best ever since. Xiaomi’s mid-range killer is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636, equipped with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (also available in 4GB / 64GB packages). The hardware drives a large 5,99-inch LCD IPS display with 1080 x 2160px resolution (FHD +).

The Redmi 5 Note got a 12-megapixel rear camera complete with a 5-megapixel auxiliary camera to be able to take photos with shallow depth of field. On the front panel we can take photos with a 13 megapixel self-contained camera. The smartphone comes packed with a large 4000 mAh battery, runs MIUI based on Android 8.0 Oreo, and supports a wide range of 4G networks in its global version.

2. Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite

Staying in the Xiaomi family, we find the recently launched Mi A2 Lite. The smartphone is part of Android One, which means it runs Android 8.1 Oreo and we get updates and new Android versions for a longer period of time. The hardware is strong, the mobile has a large 5,84-inch FHD + display, the central chip is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625, and next to it is 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage.

On the Mi A2 Lite you will find a 12 + 5 megapixel dual camera on the back and a 5 megapixel selfie shooter on the front. The smartphone is powered by a large 4000 mAh battery and supports most global 4G LTE bands.

3. HUAWEI Honor 9 Lite

Huawei contributes to this list with the Honor 9 Lite, which is just a Lite on its behalf, a fairly strong structure anyway. The central unit is a Kirin 659 with eight cores running at 2,36 GHz, with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of ROM. We also find plenty of cameras, the front and back have 13 + 2 megapixel units. The display is small compared to today’s high-end devices, at just 5,65 inches, but its resolution is good as the 18: 9 aspect ratio display has a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels.

The phone also got a fingerprint sensor, compass and gravity sensor, navigation is also solved thanks to GPS, GLONASS and Beidou support. Of course there is also wifi and Bluetooth, and the built-in battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh.

4. OUKITEL K6000 Plus

Oukitel has also delegated a device to the list that is quite strong, plus its battery size is outstanding. The soul of the phone is Mediatek’s eight-core MTK6750T, which works in conjunction with the MAli-t860 graphics accelerator with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of ROM. The display has a traditional 16: 9 aspect ratio, but fortunately has an FHD resolution of 1920 × 180 pixels. We only find two of the cameras on the mobile, a 16-megapixel one in the front and an 8 megapixel one in the back.

Of course, it's not the camera or the display of this phone that is interesting, but the battery, which stands out from the category with a capacity of 6080 mAh. We are not short of other capabilities either, in addition to the fingerprint reader we also find a gravity sensor, there is GPS support, and of course wifi and Bluetooth. The phone, as all participants in the list, supports the B20 800 MHz LTE band used at home!

5.CUBOT P20

The Cubot P20 is a new phone, but the hardware in it is no longer very fresh. True, we can say this mostly because nowadays everything is obsolete in half a year. The bottom line is that the MTK6750T in it, with its eight cores and 1,5GHz clock, is still enough for just about anything, just as we can’t complain about 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The real curiosity of the phone is the display, which according to the latest fashion has been incised at the top, here are some of the camera and sensors. In English, it is similar to the iPhone X. The 6,18-inch display therefore has a higher-than-usual resolution of 2246 x 1080 pixels. According to the factory data, we get 20 + 2 megapixels on the back and 13 megapixels on the front, but according to the information, these are interpolated resolutions, the actual number of pixels is 16 megapixels on the back and 8 on the front. This is not bad either! The phone comes with Android 8.0 Oreo system and its battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh.
