I have a le eco le max 2 and it's honestly the best phone I've ever had, got it on sale for £150 ($180)

In India you can buy a phone for technically free. Just have to pay ₹1500( $23) that'll be refunded to you after 3 years upon returning the device.

Need to try the ZTE Blade X max I paid 160.49 from cricket and it's unlocked

Your missing the axon 7 mini on your list

[rodrigoacosta]

For people who don't want to have expensive phone bills or aren't obsessed with the best and latest high tech these phones are great. Personally paying for a galaxy s8 or iPhone 7 off contract is a better option but most people can't do that. Eventually we'll get to a point where we can get a really great phone for cheap

At 2:31 does the Huawel Honor 6X comes with a cracked screen or does that raise the price a bit if optional?

[albertjohn]

i would rather get phones 1 generation behind than these cheap phones. i mean v20 and s7 edge are around 400ish now and is so much better

It's annoying when there best of reviews doesn't mention which networks they will work with and just saying they are unlocked doesn't mean Sxxt when a network won't allow it to work...

[Slappysan]

The wrong ZTE is listed. The ZMAX PRO is cheaper ($99) and better (6" display, near stock Android...just 6.0).

[Vinddraken]

Oh i thought this was a list about cheaply built Phones and the iPhone was going to be on top!

[bcaracter]

This right here shows you that we pay way to much for our phones. This is ridiculous, there was nothing cheap on this list. Its not that these phones where cheap its that phones in general are overpriced.

[ccisburning]

[TheNaiv]

[sanan]

There is a thin line between cheap and affordable.

NO cnet. The best cheap phone is xiomi mi 5x. Just because you can not buy the good phone in $200 in U.S.A does not mean we can not buy as well. Do not think you videos are getting viewed only from western countries. People from china, India, and Bangladesh are laughing at your video.
