Smartphones under $200

Motorola Moto G Power (2022): The Moto G Power is known for its outstanding battery life, thanks to a robust 5000mAh battery, and a solid build quality. While it may not be the strongest performer with its MediaTek Helio G37 processor, and lacks NFC capability, it provides great value for its price. However, it's limited to one year of software updates, which is a notable downside.

Nokia G20: Featuring a 6.5-inch screen and a quad-camera setup that includes a 48MP sensor as the focal point, the Nokia G20 is a great option for those who enjoy photography on a budget. Its big 5050mAh battery guarantees extended use. It isn't available on a carrier plan in the US, although it is readily available from large vendors. For certain prospective purchasers, the lack of carrier availability could be a drawback.

Motorola Moto G Pure: At about $159, this entry-level smartphone from Motorola offers good value. It has a 6.5-inch display, a MediaTek Helio G25 chipset that is adequate for most jobs, and a 4,000mAh battery that can last for up to two days of use. It has a rear fingerprint reader, a 3.5mm headphone port, 32GB of expandable storage, and 3GB of RAM. The Moto G Pure is a good choice for people looking for a straightforward, dependable phone because of its 13MP dual-camera arrangement, which is sufficient for taking pictures in natural light. However, the 5MP front camera is not as good. Every phone offers a varied collection of features within a reasonable price range, catered to various needs, such as camera quality and battery life.
