The best Android smartphones between 200 and 300 euros in April 2020

The best Android smartphones between 200 and 300 euros in April 2020

We have reached the time of the week in which smartphone enthusiasts sit and sum up the market trend. In particular, like every second Sunday of the month, today we talk about the price range between 200 and 300 euros. Well, we are obviously in a strange period, in which it can also be difficult to find the devices (given the problems related to shipping), but the manufacturers do not want to know about stopping, they are in fact continuing to offer excellent news to fans. In particular, several interesting devices have recently been announced, from Redmi Note 9S to Huawei P40 Lite, passing through TCL 10L. In addition, there was no lack of price changes and more. In short, even this week there is a lot to discuss. Let's go then to see which devices are to be taken into consideration in April 2020, reminding you that the prices taken into consideration are only those of Amazon Italy or the official sites of the manufacturers.

Realme X2

One of the most valid devices under the € 300 is definitely Realme X2, the "younger brother" of that X2 Pro that has "enchanted" smartphone enthusiasts in the slightly higher range. Well, despite some obvious shortcomings compared to the more performing model, the smartphone is seen by many as the only true anti-Xiaomi Mi 9T, above all thanks to the excellent quality / price ratio.
Realme X2 gives its best in good constructive solidity, in the photographic sector that does not disappoint expectations, in the above average performance, in good autonomy and excellent screen. To keep in mind also the fact that the connectivity compartment is quite complete (there is no shortage of NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, audio jack, USB Type-C and fast charging at 30W). For all the details of the case, we invite you to consult our review of Realme X2.

However, we are not talking about a perfect device: according to many, the ColorOS is to be reviewed (fortunately, the Realme UI based on Android 10, which has already landed on Realme X2 Pro) and the fingerprint sensor integrated in the screen is not faster. Summing up, undoubtedly Realme X2 is one of the best smartphones in this price range, against a cost of 279 euros on Amazon Italy (model 8 / 128GB). At the time of writing, we have to wait about 10 days for availability (unfortunately the current situation is also affecting smartphone shipments).

Redmi Note 8 Pro

The Redmi Note range is among the best known in the economic segment of the market. On the other hand, we are talking about devices that have particularly convinced the Italians, given the excellent sales in our country. Well, entering the range between 200 and 300 euros, the Chinese company's proposal is Redmi Note 8 Pro, device arrived in Italy at the end of 2019. Its main strengths are thegranite autonomy (4500 mAh battery), the good construction solidity and the complete connectivity sector. The most "criticized" aspects are the performance not exactly at the top (SoC MediaTek Helio G90T) and the screen that cannot compete with that of other devices in this price range. There would be something to complain about even in the photographic sector, but in reality the drop in price still makes it an interesting device from this point of view.

In general, Redmi Note 8 Pro is a smartphone that can be purchased with your eyes closed by those who appreciate this series of devices. For more information on the data sheet, we invite you to consult our news dedicated to Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Speaking of the connectivity sector, we find NFC, USB Type-C port, 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi ac dual-band. Redmi Note 8 Pro is currently sold at around 230 euros on Amazon Italy through resellers (6 / 64GB variant).

Xiaomi Mi 9T

If you have not lived in the world of dreams in the last year, you have probably already heard of Xiaomi Mi 9T, the smartphone with pop-up camera that has made a lot of talk about itself at the exit and in the months to come. To make you understand, in Italy he even went to record a sold out on his debut night. In short, it is a smartphone that you can not fail to mention in such a ranking, since it costs 278 euros on Amazon Italy through resellers (model 6 / 64GB).
The device gives its best in the screen, in the granite autonomy, in the above average performance and in theexcellent constructive solidity. For the rest, we recommend that you take a look at our review of Xiaomi Mi 9T.
Speaking of the connectivity sector, there are NFC, USB Type-C port and 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones. To be noted, however, the non-expandable memory and the weight not exactly "feather", aspects that could make a certain type of user turn up their noses.

Samsung Galaxy A51

It is one of the most recent smartphones in this ranking: we refer to Samsung Galaxy A51, a device that in reality has not been received exactly in the best way by critics, especially because of its list price of 379 euros. However, after the rapid drop in price, the smartphone has started to become intriguing, compared to the current cost of 285 euros on Amazon Italy through resellers (model 4 / 128GB).
In case you didn't know, yes: it is precisely the successor of that Galaxy A50 which for a long time has returned to the ranking of the most purchased smartphones in Europe. In short, the starting "base" is excellent and it is above all for what Galaxy A51 deserves to be taken into consideration. The main strengths are to be found in the excellent display, in the feature-rich software and in the complete connectivity sector (NFC, audio jack for headphones and triple slot, or Dual nanoSIM + microSD, are present). In any case, we are certainly talking about a "divisive" smartphone, since its main flaws are the photographic sector not exactly the best and the below average performance.

Special mentions: Huawei P40 Lite and TCL Plex

The smartphone market always gives us devices that divide user opinions, but which in reality can be interesting for someone and it would be a shame not to mention them. In the case of this range, the models that fall under this "definition" are Huawei P40 Lite and TCL Plex. The first, as we described in our review of Huawei P40 Lite, is a smartphone with excellent potential, but the lack of Google services makes it a little less interesting than it would be "normally". Unfortunately, the US ban has created a not exactly rosy situation.

Speaking, however, of TCL Plex, it is an excellent device from many points of view, from the screen to good autonomy, but also a little "unripe" as regards, for example, the lack of Widewine L1 (which does not allow playback of HD content on platforms like Netflix) and the performance that gives some problems with the "heavier" apps. These are aspects that can certainly be refined with the next smartphones and we are still talking about the first device of the TCL brand to reach our hands. In conclusion, the potential is all there for the future and this TCL Plex may already be interesting for some users, as you can read in our review.

Market choice: Huawei P30 Lite

In this "lockdown" period, Huawei P30 Lite remains unchallenged at the top of the ranking of Bestsellers on Amazon Italy, obviously referring to the price range between 200 and 300 euros. It is the third month in a row that holds this position. This is despite the fact that the smartphone has now been out for quite a while and now has below average performance, an autonomy that cannot compete with other solutions in this range and a photographic sector that is not the best. Here it is probably the brand, the presence of Google services and the price of just 200 euros on Amazon Italy through resellers (4 / 128GB model) to drive sales. Then put the fact that recently Huawei has released a "refresh" called P30 Lite New Edition very similar to the original model and you're done. We are however talking about a device that has a good constructive solidity, a good design, a complete connectivity compartment (there are also NFC and audio jack for headphones) and a display that does not disappoint expectations. In short, we can understand that the average user still manages to be satisfied with this model.

Upcoming Arrivals: Redmi Note 9S, Realme 6 and TCL 10L

As mentioned at the beginning, smartphone manufacturers have no intention of stopping, even in this complex period. The announcements of the last few weeks prove it. Starting from the most recent, Redmi Note 9S has arrived in Italy a few days ago at a starting price of 229 euros on Amazon Italy (4 / 64GB). It is an interesting device, also given the presence of a 5020 mAh battery and a quadruple rear camera. At the moment, critics have not yet had the opportunity to test it properly, but it is certainly a smartphone to keep an eye on. For more details, we invite you to consult the announcement news.

The range of devices should also not be underestimated Realme 6, announced in March 2020 and already available also in Italy. The variants are three: 4 / 64GB (229.90 euros), 4 / 128GB (269.90 euros) and 8 / 128GB (299.90 euros). Here the peculiar feature is certainly the presence of a display with a refresh rate of 90 Hz, a feature that is difficult to find on other devices in this price range. Given the company's precedents, we hope to be able to try this smartphone as soon as possible to be able to tell you about it as always on these pages (unfortunately, at the time of writing, critics have not yet had the opportunity to try it properly). If you are interested, find the device on Amazon starting from 229.99 euros (4 / 64GB).

For the rest, there have obviously been many other announcements as well. Among them, it is worth mentioning TCL 10L, smartphone that will be sold at 299 euros in Italy starting from the second quarter of 2020. We are talking about a company that has launched an interesting device like TCL Plex (of which we have talked previously), so it is worth not to underestimate it. For more details on the new range, we recommend that you take a look at our dedicated news.
