Manufacturers like Google, Nothing, Samsung, Xiaomi and Realme all offer a selection of compelling smartphones at a mid-range asking price.

Watching from my galaxy A55. Perfect all rounder for casual user

[kandalagagankumar]

I got the OnePlus Nord 4 for €350 and I've got no complaints and the metal body is more beautiful in real life than on the screen. I'll recommend this to everyone this year

I bought A55 a few days ago (coming from a redmi Note 7), and i'm satisfied about everything with this phone (display, stereo speaker, excellent software and battery life, good camera, nice performance with exynos 1480 and 4 years of android's update is a big bonus)

Seems like basically all of the mid-range. A ranking would be more useful!

[XjohnjohnX]

It will be OnePlus Nord 4 for me. Thanks for the video 😊

My A55 just showed up, it's a upgrade from my Galaxy S9+. I will however say, the camera is only just better than my S9+. Aside from the more natural colours. I fully recommend the A55! I hope the next one gets an upgraded camera, its literally the only thing they can improve in my opinion.

Was just finding some mid range phones to buy and this gem came along

[Alchemedess]

I bought a Xiaomi 13T for 320€ few days ago, cant be more happy coming from a Redmi note 7 lol.

Fun to see so many neat midrangers. My brother asked me for something in this range, so I got him a used S23 Ultra. Finding it at a good price took a couple weeks as used stores still charge near-flagship prices for them, but at 500 euros with a bit of cosmetic damage at the back, I feel like the fox that got in the henhouse.

[abdulrahimabelashher]

maybe adding some details like specs on the screen and the price range would be a good idea

[jamesjimbob]

i bought my first ever smartphone and it was the samsung galaxy a05s, and its really impressive for a phone that only cost 100 quid

[mfalmeke]

Which one is the best in gaming among those?

Great roundup, as always! The Pixel 8a looks like a solid contender for anyone looking for top-notch software and camera performance without breaking the bank. It's awesome to see such powerful mid-range options competing in 2024. Would love to hear your thoughts on how these stack up in long-term software support—especially with Google’s commitment to updates!

[the_haakinton]

Really appreciate you videos but please rank/order these phones or it just causes a bit of a confusion 😅

[claudiusboasman]

Great video and helpful advice! I've been considering the Pixel 8a since I want to avoid spending too much on the 9 series. But doesn’t the 8a come with a 120Hz variable refresh rate display?

[cryptopeter]

Fantastic content and I'm a dude who reviews reviewers! Cheers mate for your bloody good work. I love the pixel as well. Peter❤

[A.H.N.H]

Great video pal🔥
And It would be so nice if you categorise phones by their price range

[lulushishi]

Wish we had so many options in north america. All we've got are the pixel a and Galaxy A

[thomask]

I bought an A55 for my new bathroom media player to watch youtube while I'm on the can. Works great.

[theaditya_tripathi]
