If you're looking for an affordable entry-level phone that won't make you regret buying it, you've come to the right place.
redmi 9
Almost a year after its official launch, the Redmi 9 can finally be found for under $100, making it one of the best (if not the best) smartphones in this price range. The Redmi phone is indeed powered by a powerful MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, along with a minimum of 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD).
The Redmi 9 also flaunts a large 6,53-inch IPS screen with Full HD + resolution, which houses an 8-megapixel selfie module in a cutout at the top. Meanwhile, on the back we find four cameras, including a 13MP primary, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, an 8MP portrait camera, and a 5MP macro camera.
The smartphone packs an extra-large 5020mAh battery with 18W fast charging support, has a 3,5mm audio jack, a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, and runs Android 11-based MIUI 10.
Realme C11
Next we have the Realme C11, which comes with a less powerful MediaTek Helio G35, along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (expandable via microSD slot).
This equipment is equipped with a 6,5-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. Meanwhile, for photos, there are two rear cameras of 13 MP for the main and 2 MP for the depth sensor. A 5-megapixel selfie module takes care of selfies.
Like the Redmi 9, the Realme C11 comes with a large 5000mAh battery, a 3,5mm audio jack, and Realme's Android 10-based interface is ready to use right from the start.
UMIDI A9
In third place we have the UMIDIGI A9 and unfortunately we have to give up some performance once again. The smartphone is indeed powered by a MediaTek Helio G25 chipset, but at least we get 3GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage (expandable).
The UMIDIGI A9 also features a large 9-inch IPS screen with HD+ resolution and a notch at the top for a 6,53-megapixel selfie module. Meanwhile, on the back we have a total of three cameras, including a 24-megapixel primary sensor, an 13-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 8-megapixel sensor for depth data.
Keeping up with the above smartphones, the UMIDIGI A9 also has a massive 5150mAh battery, a 3,5mm audio jack and runs on Android 11.
Blackview A80 Plus
Next, we have the Blackview A80 Plus, which offers a good compromise between power and multitasking capabilities thanks to its MediaTek Helio A25 SoC with the help of 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.
The Blackview phone features a 6,49-inch HD+ IPS display that includes a 5-megapixel selfie module at the top. Moving back, we have four cameras, including a 13MP Sony IMX258 primary sensor, followed by 2MP, 0,3MP and 0,3MP secondary sensors.
Finally, the Blackview A80 Plus has a slightly smaller 4680 mAh battery, a 3,5mm audio jack and even NFC.
OUKITEL WP12
Last but not least, if you work in harsh environments, the OUKITEL WP12 might be the smartphone you need. The WP12 is a really rugged phone, which means it's extremely durable and waterproof.
The smartphone features a 5,5-inch panel with HD+ resolution, powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage (expandable via microSD).
For photography, the OUKITEL WP12 has a 13-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor on the back, along with a large triple-LED flash. Meanwhile, up front we find a single 8-megapixel unit.
Finally, the rugged phone has a 4000 mAh battery, it doesn't have a 3,5mm, but it makes up for it with an NFC module.
