Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge getting a $170 discount for the holidays
Even more than most Android phones with notches, the ZenFone 5 looks a lot like the iPhone X, from the camera alignment and glass back to the rounded metal edges. For a phone that costs about a third of Apple’s that’s no bad thing though. The specs are decidedly mid-range, but performance is smooth and fast enough for the average user, and while the camera isn’t best in class, it’s capable of some great shots thanks to the help of some AI-enabled software tweaks. The biggest challenge to the ZenFone 5 is the similar looking – and higher spec – Honor 10, which is only a little more expensive.
The ZenFone 5’s edge is its larger 6.2in display, and this should be an easy choice for anyone looking for a phone that’s both full-screen and big-screen. Read our Asus ZenFone 5 review. 6. Honor Play At £279, it’s very easy to recommend the Honor Play.

The display is no match for rival gaming phones like the Razer Phone or Asus ROG, but the Play offers top notch performance at a far lower price than either of those, which might make it the ideal phone for gamers on a budget. The specs are almost identical to the pricier Honor 10 and even the much pricier Huawei P20, though it’s worth noting that it’s got a metal chassis rather than a glass back, and the camera isn’t a patch on the ones in those phones. Still, even if you’re not a gamer, this is one of the best value phones on the market, offering flagship performance at a fraction of the price, so long as you don’t mind missing out on the best photography features.

8. Nokia 7.1 While you can spend less on a phone in this price range, the Nokia 7.1 is worth considering over something like the Moto G6. It has better build quality and Android One, meaning guaranteed security updates. The dual cameras are better than expected too, and battery life is solid thanks to an efficient processor. If you don’t mind the notch design and spending around £300 / $300 then it’s a top option. Read our Nokia 7.1 review.
9. HTC U12 Life HTC is clearly capable of making a decent mid-range smartphone, as we saw with the U11 Life. Its follow-up is quite different, namely the ditching of Android One and Edge Sense, but it makes up for this somewhat elsewhere. The price is lower so getting the U12 Life for under £300 is an attractive price tag and you get generally decent specs including a large screen, Snapdragon 636 and a big battery.
Oh, and the return of a headphone jack. It’s not perfect though, as not everyone will like the design with its shiny/stripy back. We’d be happier if the HDR camera mode was better but we’re slightly nitpicking. Read our HTC U12 Life review.
10. Samsung Galaxy A6 The Galaxy A6 is a solid mid-range phone offering Samsung design and specs for a very affordable price. We particularly like the style and the excellent cameras. Performance is good, too. However, if you’re not too fussed about having the Sammy logo on your phone then the Moto G6 offers a little more for less money.
It’s got a higher resolution screen and the Amazon exclusive model has 4/64GB of memory and storage for just £239 making it a real bargain. Read our Samsung Galaxy A6 review.
