The best cheap phones in 2021
Ok Tom's Guide and @Mark Spoonauer...sorry to be negative here with my 1st and maybe only post, but I agree 100% with Androidchap's words.Choice quality and technology Truly progressive "good looking" phones in the US mass market are boring, lame, uncreative, and WAY overpriced. It might not be totally your fault that you've compiled a list without incident. .. you only report what major carriers largely sell as well as retail chains. On the contrary, 'Tom's' could (and should start soon) try hard to separate your handset and device reviews clever by stepping out of the norm and talking to 'The People' about lesser known brands and companies that are really putting fantastic value and a major bang into getting it into their devices and educating people about these emerging options here in our marketplace , and not only abroad anger.Androidchap gave some good examples and also noted the UK market, and I'd like to quickly point out other Asian companies that offer beautiful designs with awesome specs for less than half the cost of those mid-value BS models. range" on the list. Again, not picking on you, your list is like PC mags, cnet, techgurus, etc... you all have the same models but just in a slightly different order as to your "best choice". on the manufacturer's Androidchap, I would also suggest to the "People" to discover: Xiaomi and its entire range of Mi electronic devices, such as the Mi 9, REDMi 9/Note 9s/9 Pro, 10 ... you get the 'idea. Add to that a new player called Elephone (which is the latest offering in the "value" space can now be had on pre-sale for the apsurd low cost of US$130-$170 and is more like a phone "flagship" in our Just look at the build quality, color choices, camera options galore (like 48 and 64 mp, 4 lenses, with macro and good night vision capability) and you get started to see the big differences out there. And did I mention the value? The value for money that can really be had if people knew what to ask for? Oh yeah... I mentioned it. Here's another - ASUS , which some should recognize for their Chromebooks, Laptops, Tabs, etc. , ...well, turns out they do also really killer phone designs! Launching soon should be the next ZenPhone 7 plus a premium option (they claim) in their Logic line, I believe they call it? Regardless, the point is that you (Tom's) should be the ones telling us about these alternatives, instead of just re-presenting the same year-over-year options that anyone with a smartphone should already have an idea of the concept OR could get the same generic dialogue walking into a Verizon, AT&T, t-Mobile or Sprint store and talking to the salesperson. Just my opinion, but if I were you I'd try to do something new to separate you from the other "big boys" in the Consumer Electronic Review space and make yourself SUCH A PROGRESSIVE name. Your list sucks. Phones are ugly and mostly lame. (Sure, some of the Mi models I mentioned aren't 5G capable under $350! (no duh), but whatever! Just spend a little more with them, $500, $600, $700 and guess what? Standard with a Snapdragon 855 and all the gadgets to boot. That's way better than the stupidly ridiculous price that Apple and Samsung have "trained" most of us to expect from their "elite" models. "...give me a break. The iPhone hasn't barely had a 'sexy' or interesting design change like...Forever! Unfortunately, the phone scene in the US is largely boring and homogenized like most Just take a moment to go look at the beautiful design aesthetics of some of the models available in the UK, Europe and for some in Korea, Japan and China and you'll see what I see... America is unfortunately NOT a leader or a leader in the CE (electronics) market.maybe.Take my suggestion and reinvent this that you bring to the rest of us here in the US and start covering the "cutting edge stuff" and leave the lame and slow reruns changing models and brands for others. (Obviously you still have to cover Apple, Samsung, HTC, ONE, Moto, etc.), but bringing new blood into the mix is all I mean. I'm going to be ordering a totally KIck Ass Smart (and sleek) modern handset...it just isn't represented on your or most others' 'review' lists floating around here in the US. it helps generate publicity for your affiliates/partners and links for readers to buy from the site
"Samsung of the World"
as their current only or "best" option? Maybe it would be a lot more fun and add a lot more value to your audience if you covered the newest and (less well-known) biggest ones, rather than just the same-ol', same' old makes and models. Think about it? Finally, your site, blog or forum or whatever is too busy with big flashy ads, pop-ups and general distractions, which also undervalues your potential to be taken more seriously. I know it helps pay rent and expenses, but maybe regain control and mitigate the mass advertising onslaught here. Thanks for the consideration. Take care and good luck getting started covering "The Good Stuff". See Ya Boys and Girls! -Jeff
