Gadget News: Best Budget Smartphones of Mid 2020

Xiaomi Poco X2

With a 120Hz refresh rate display and a powerful processor in this price range, POCO X2 definitely serves as a deserving handset in the company's catalogue. If we talk about value for money, the POCO X2 offers a great camera performance (headlined by a 64MP primary sensor), an impressive battery life, and a premium design at a price point where most people can afford the phone. There is a case to be made that the new handset from POCO is one of the best value-for-money handsets across price segments and this statement alone should give you a fair idea about the handset's place in this list.

Realme 6 Pro

Although Realme 6 is more of a headline-maker than Realme 6 Pro, purely because of incredible value for money, the Pro model is not a minor upgrade by any means. The Realme 6 Pro comes with a 90Hz refresh rate, upgraded cameras over the Realme 6, and a premium design. The handset takes on stiff competition in this range and while the software has shown a massive improvement, the underwhelming low-light camera performance means that the handset doesn't top this list. However, Realme 6 Pro is a really good phone for its price point.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max
