While flagship smartphones boast impressive features, spending $1,000 is not a prerequisite for a satisfying Android experience nowadays. If you’re in need of a new smartphone and have a budget of approximately $200, there are numerous excellent options available. Surprisingly, some of the best Android phones under $200 come equipped with features like 5,000mAh batteries, multi-lens camera setups, and the promise of extended software updates.

We thoroughly evaluate various Android phones to ensure optimal performance without encountering unexpected issues down the line. If we were to recommend one Android smartphone in the sub-$200 price range, it would be the latest addition to Samsung’s lineup, the Galaxy A15 5G. Boasting a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen, a sizable battery with 25W fast charging support, and more, it offers a compelling package. Alternatively, consider Motorola’s Moto G Play (2024) for a straightforward yet functional device.

I just wish they were smaller. I'd love to have a Nexus 4-sized phone again.

This! I recently bought a new smartphone and I don't get why screen size has constantly inched up, and pretty much across all price ranges! I'd understand if it was just gaming or photo-oriented ones..
If this goes on we'll all end up with comically large clown phones.

In many markets your smartphone is your primary, or only, computing device. Many people use their phones as media consumption devices. Those are the two primary drivers of our ever growing handsets.

Don't forget the "bigger number means better" marketing.
