Cheap phones are getting good, as Samsung’s latest sub-$300 phone can attest to. The Galaxy A23 5G is currently selling for just $250 with, get this: a large 6.6-inch FHD+ display with 120Hz refresh rate, 5,000mAh battery, up to 1TB of storage via MicroSD, and a tried-and-tested Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor at the helm. Those are promising specs for what easily counts as a budget phone. 

Sure, you’ll lose out on the extensive software support that more-expensive phones benefit from, and the camera might not shoot the best photos in the dark, but if you just want a handset that gets the job done for a fraction of the cost, then look no further than this.
