Mid-range

Techsource's pick for best budget phone under $300, chosen for its camera.

He likes the look and the fun, AI-heavy camera setup, but this sponsored unboxing stops short of a firm verdict.

A good-value phone with an excellent front camera and display, but a mid-range chip makes it harder to recommend against phones like the Po…

Rumours are contradictory, but he thinks a smaller flagship iPhone is a sensible idea that small-handed fans will like.

A pretty impressive phone for not a huge amount of money, and strangers guessed it cost far more than its £250 price.

Bold, colourful flagship-style phone with a fun AI camera and fast charging, priced at about half of most flagships.

Easily one of the best flagships under $600, held back only by a mid-tier chip that cheaper phones also use.

A confusing sidestep from the original Mix: better screen, software and camera, but heavy, thick and barely better overall.

One of the better attempts at copying the Xiaomi Mi Mix formula, with a surprisingly good display and glass back, though it attracts finger…

The company's flagship, with the 6,200mAh battery as the main draw rather than the screen.

Finished last by a wide margin at 4 hours 33, which he says has little excuse.

Expected to be the lower-end P-series model, probably with a 1080p display.

Bold and unique in club colours, and almost a must-have for Barcelona fans.

A subtle but welcome Kingsman edition that comes with a good bundle of extras for the extra money.

Odd-looking phone with plenty of strange design choices, but the camera, screen and battery are good enough for a thumbs up at under $300.

He doesn't recommend the Plus model, as it costs a lot more for a benefit that will rarely be noticed.

A camera-focused phone with a decent 21 megapixel sensor, but bulky and underpowered, and quickly outdone by later phones.

Good price-to-performance and premium build, but Chinese software and sideloading the Play Store put off Western buyers.
