Best Budget Smartphones Under $300
428 smartphones in this collection
Budget smartphones under $300 with the best value for money. The rating factors in performance, camera, and battery life relative to price.
Filtered by launch price — we do not track today's retail price. Ruble amounts use a coarse static conversion rate.
The order is NOT set by the "Value for money" score shown on the cards, but by the overall rating divided by the square root of the launch price. This is because ordering by the value score put the same cheap device rated 10 at the top of every such list. At an equal rating, the cheaper model ranks higher. Models launched under $80 or rated below 55 are not removed from this list, but are pushed to its end.
