If you are traveling you might not want to take your top-of-the-range smartphone with you. Instead, pack one of these budget options that offer great functionality without the hefty price tag.
One of the best budget smartphones is the Motorola Moto G7. It’s a reliable handset that comes in black or white, and it doesn’t look cheap like some of its rivals. There is 4GB RAM and 64GB storage too, so it’s no slouch and there is plenty of space for travel photos.
The Blu Vivo X5 sells for less than $100, making it the perfect choice for those on a really tight budget. It’s still got 3GB RAM and 64GB storage, and there are two rear cameras for decent snaps.
Another good option is the Huawei Honor 7X. It’s a budget phone from the Chinese manufacturer, but it performs like a more expensive device. Sporting 32GB of RAM, you might need to download your photos more regularly than on some rivals.
Budget manufacturer Blu branched out from its low cost model with the G9 Pro, making an attractive handset that packs in a great screen, 4GB RAM and 128GB storage — top choice for those who want performance without breaking the bank.
