258 smartphones in this collection

The best mid-range smartphones in the $200-500 range for 2025-2026. The optimal choice for anyone who wants a good smartphone without paying flagship prices.

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.
