Best Mid-Range Android Phones (Summer 2024) | Top 18 Reviewed

Reviews of the best mid-range Android smartphones in 2024, boasting the greatest camera tech, top gaming performance and the longest battery life. For a budget of around £300-£600 UK you can grab the Pixel 8a, Poco X6 and F6 series, Nothing Phone 2a, Samsung's Galaxy A55 5G, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus and my favourite mid-range smartphones. If you can't afford the absolute top-tier phones around, here's the next best options.

If you're after an even cheaper smartphone, check out my reviews and round-ups of the greatest Android smartphones in 2024 under £300 and £200.

Manufacturers like Google, Nothing, Samsung, Xiaomi and Realme all offer a selection of compelling smartphones at a mid-range asking price. The Pixel 8a is still the best around for camera overall, but rivals like the Nothing Phone 2A and Samsung's Galaxy A55 5G aren't far behind. And the Samsung A35 is an even cheaper option that's surprisingly excellent.

Meanwhile the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is a fantastic mid-range smartphone, boasting impressive specs for a budget-friendly price. Or if your budget is smaller, try the Note 13 Pro 5G which also offers a reasonably good camera and great gaming performance. Don't sleep on the brilliant Xiaomi 13T phone for a bit more cash, while the Poco X6 Pro and Poco F6 series also offer stunning value for money.

So which is your personal favourite mid-range smartphone? Let us know below!

Thanks for checking out this best mid-rangers round-up, full reviews etc are here on Tech Spurt! Also, Pixel 8a is 120Hz, not 90Hz - I blame the getting old/being drunk

Really looking forward to your reviews on the new Moto G Power 2024 and Moto G Stylus 5G 2024. Hopefully they will arrive in Europe soon

what do you think about the techno camon 30 premier? and if I may ask what is your personal choice with these phones?

[hudsonmwepu]

Your phone reviews don't sieze to amaze! And not mentioning the ever lit wallpaper on them🙌... Where do you get such wallpapers if I may ask?

[AalaFathi]

perfect timing that's the video I'm looking for

[JimtheHandyman]

You had me with the panther chameleon bit 😂 You're the best Spurt spurt

You have very good taste Chris, I can tell by looking at the wallpapers you apply on your phones, secondly the f6 is actually looking much more premium than the f6 pro and it does resemble bathroom tiles. Not just that even in the f6, you chose the best color. the titanium and black colored sets dont look as good as the one you have. Overall design of the f6 is better too.

Great review as always, very meaningful for people who want great specs as flagships but for half the price.

[samirim]

@1:28 The Pixel 8a hast 120Hz, not just 90Hz!

[brianmorrison]

A well presented video .. as always
I like to trust the well known brands, so I am considering the Pixel 8a or the Galaxy A55
I take pictures /videos with my phone, so the quality of the camera is important for me. I think I prefer the Pixel, but have seen comments elsewhere saying trying to download images to the computer is sometimes a problem with this phone, which may be a big snag ... don’t get me started, I used my wife’s iPhone and getting pictures from that to a Windows PC is anything but easy

[dazaco]

Excellent vid as always quick question what would you recommend best budget phone for wireless charging?

[vorpalchoppers]

Thanks a lot, TechSpurt!! I am immensely grateful for this review, I finally got myself a POCO F6 Pro and am so happy! I will subscribe to your channel for more informative videos like this💯🙌

You're the only one that uses Genshin on Android as a benchmark for gaming, more specifically using the recently added areas like Fontaine (because other reviewers keep sticking with Mondstadt which is too easy on a phone). Rightfully so, since that game is the MS Flight Simulator of mobile games. You could even add Wuthering Waves these days for a similar intent.

Genshin will get a major mobile overhaul in version 5.0, so this should change a lot of things in your future gaming tests in your reviews, both flagship and midrange, as a word of warning by the way.

Glad to see a new video uploaded from our favourite uncle spurt. Recently had my bendy blower destroy itself so picked yup a redmi note 13 pro plus and haven't looked back. Been thinking of moving to Xiaomi for years as they always caught my attention but was worried about ads and the change from color OS but it's been a silky adult dream. Thanks for the recommendation uncle spurt
