For all those users who want to spend less than 200 euros for a smartphone, in this tutorial you will find some of the best low-end smartphones. These terminals have been chosen between 0 and 200 euros, and are the best cheap phones you can find around.
Xiaomi Mi A3
Despite not having put all the cards on the table, the Xiaomi Mi A3 is one of the best inexpensive smartphones, bearing in mind that we can already find it for less than 160 euros. It is a terminal with Android One, the relatively new Snapdragon 665, a triple camera that is quite versatile and of good quality. The set is accompanied by a 4,000 mAh battery and a much more refined design than its predecessor. The version we recommend is 4 + 64 GB, for the price indicated.
Xiaomi Mi A2
Despite having presented the Mi A3, Xiaomi Mi A2 is still a real bargain, for about 150 euros in its version with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. As a good terminal of the Xiaomi A family, it stands out for having Android One in its bowels, a ROM from Google, with almost no change.
It is a large terminal, the front of which is presided over by a 5.99-inch display with Full HD + resolution (point to be taken into account with respect to the Mi A3), proportions 18- 9 and Gorilla Glass protection 5. It is accompanied by a 3000 mAh battery, a 20 + 12-megapixel dual camera on the back, a 20-megapixel camera on the front and technologies like USB Type C or Bluetooth 5.0. You must know that when I write the tutorial, the Mi A2 costs just € 15 less than the Mi A3 because it is a good device.
Motorola G7 Power
The Moto G7 Power is a terminal with truly remarkable value for money. The display, in this case, reaches 6.2 inches with HD + resolution. The memory configuration, in this version, is 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory expandable with a microSD card up to 256 GB.
However, the strength of this terminal is its autonomy, powered by a 5000 mAh battery with fast charging technology. We also find Android 9.0 Pie on this terminal, with a fairly clean ROM that includes slight customization of Motorola (including some gestures and an app that adds functionality to the system). The camera section is configured with a single 12-megapixel sensor for the rear camera and 8 for the front.
Redmi Note 8
The Redmi Note 8 is one of the most complete proposals under 200 euros, with a Snapdragon 665 and a 4 + 64 GB version below 175 euros. Its battery is 4000 mAh (tradition of the house) and has four cameras to its credit, the main sensor is 48 megapixels.
Redmi Note 7
The Notes no longer come from Xiaomi. They belong to his secondary brand Redmi and bet more than ever for the value for money. The company opens up to the economic range with the Redmi Note 7, a proposal that brings glass, autonomy, and notch on smartphones that cost less than 200 euros and is considered a more than the competitive alternative.
Inside we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. Its battery is 4000 mAh and the camera has a dual 48 and a 5-megapixel sensor, respectively.
It is a large terminal, with a 6.3-inch display, 19.5- 9 format and a Full HD + resolution. Despite being a recent terminal, the 4 + 64 version has fallen in price and is more attractive than ever.
Samsung Galaxy A20e
The Galaxy A20e is part of Samsung’s new cheap smartphones. This is a proposal with a double 13 + 5-megapixel camera, 3 + 32 GB of memory, a 3,000 mAh battery (quite powerful, considering that the terminal has a 5.8-inch display with HD + resolution) and jack for headphones.
It is a good alternative to enter the Samsung universe with little money since the A20e can be purchased for less than 150 euros, a price a bit high for its specifications, but unfortunately, sometimes the name counts.
Samsung Galaxy A40
The Samsung Galaxy A40 is another of Samsung’s low-cost offers of under 200 euros, with interesting specifications. Starting from its 5.9 “screen, we find Super AMOLED technology and FHD + resolution, a differential point in this type of band.

Huawei P Smart 2019
Huawei has renewed its P Smart range with a Kirin 710, 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. A hardware built into a body with a large 6.21-inch display, with FullHD + resolution and 19.5- 9 aspect ratio. Android 9.0 Pie and EMUI 9.0 come from the hand of the Turbo GPU and are powered by a 3400 mAh battery. The photo section is composed of a double 13 + 2-megapixel camera and an 8-megapixel front sensor.
Honor 10 Lite
In our opinion, Honor 10 Lite is one of the most beautiful cheap smartphones on the market right now. Although not finished in glass, the finish shines (literally), making it a rather colorful terminal. If we shoot it, we find a 6.2-inch IPS panel, FullHD + resolution, 19.5- 9 aspect ratio and a drop-shaped notch.
As for its interior, the Smart P 2019 is quite similar to its brother. It has the same Kirin 710, 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. The 13 cameras and a 2-megapixel camera in the back and 24 in the front. Finally, we can highlight its good autonomy, given by the optimizations of EMUI 9.0 and a 3400 mAh battery.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite
Although it has been on the market for a long time, Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is another of the proposals with the best value for money today. Bet on the muscle, with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. Its 6.26-inch display, with IPS technology, FullHD + resolution and 19- 9 aspect ratio. All of this, powered by a 3350 mAh battery that lasts much longer than the milliamps that it can indicate.
Sony Xperia L3
For lovers of classic Sony, the Japanese company offers the Xperia L3 as a cheap alternative. It is a terminal that maintains the classic Sony design, in a 5.7-inch HD + panel with 18- 9 format. Inside we find a Mediatek P22 processor, a comparable alternative (at least in pure power) with the Qualcomm 625 platform The set is accompanied by 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, in addition to a double 13 + 2-megapixel camera.
Nokia 6.1
We find Android One, an aluminum finish and a 5.5-inch screen with FullHD resolution, the Nokia 6.1 is another of the best alternatives for lovers of clean software and simple terminals. The proposal is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon 630, 3 and 32 GB of RAM and ROM and a 16-megapixel rear camera. The Nokia 6.1 does not forget the NFC radio, USB type C or FM, details to be taken into account in the price range in which this proposal is included.
Wiko View 3
Wiko is one of the producers struggling to win in the economic sector and View 3 is its main resource for getting there. It has a 6.26-inch panel with HD + resolution, an Helio P22, 3 + 64 GB of storage space, 12 + 13 + 2 megapixels for its cameras and a generous 4,000 mAh battery, among others. All less than 180 euros.
