Each tech manufacturer has a mobile phone line that they specifically make more affordable. You\u2019re bound to notice a lot of big names in our favourites!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samsung Galaxy A51\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the biggest players in the game is Samsung and they\u2019ve got an entire range for affordable phones. This is the A range. We tend to actually see a new addition to this range every single year. One of the most popular handsets from the A range this year is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrofone.co.uk\/contract-phone-deals\/samsung-galaxy-a51\">Samsung Galaxy A51<\/a>. This is an extremely attractive handset, it brings the very best from Samsung and it\u2019s super affordable! You can actually get this handset for only \u00a325 per month. If you\u2019re looking for lower data packages, those prices can enter the teens!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something that really stands out about the Samsung Galaxy A51 is the design it\u2019s been given. First of all, there\u2019s a bunch of new colours to purchase this phone in. You can find Prism Crush Black, Prism Crush White, Prism Crush Blue and Prism Crush Pink. Each of these has a glossy finish however, they also have a geometrical design. You\u2019ll get a number of different hues shine through with this gorgeous, unique finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nokia 8.3<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nokia is a brand that pretty much every household knows. They\u2019re known for creating extremely reliable handsets. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrofone.co.uk\/contract-phone-deals\/nokia-8.3\">Nokia 8.3<\/a> is one of the more modern handsets from their range. In fact, this is the mobile phone that\u2019s being used in the next bond film to be released. Currently, this handset costs around \u00a330 per month when you buy it with a decent amount of data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that\u2019s bound to stand out about the Nokia 8.3 is the unique camera system. On the back of this device, you can find a quad lens camera, positioned in a circular housing. This holds a 64MP wide lens, 12MP ultra wide lens, 2MP depth lens and a 2MP macro lens. These are all incredibly high quality lenses and are going to completely change the way you capture photographs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iPhone SE (2nd Generation)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apple is known for their iPhone\u2019s being priced fairly high. They broke that conception a few years ago with the iPhone 5C. Their latest addition to the affordable phone market is with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrofone.co.uk\/contract-phone-deals\/iphone-se-64gb-black\">iPhone SE<\/a>. This carries an awful lot of modern features in a much smaller housing, and for a way lower price. This device has the same sort of build as the iPhone 8. It has rounded corners and curved edges to create a high end finish. With a 4.7 inch screen, you aren\u2019t getting the largest viewing area however, it is a good one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, you\u2019re able to purchase the iPhone SE for only \u00a326 per month. Most other iPhone\u2019s with features as relevant as this one cost around \u00a335 per month at the lowest. You get secure fingerprint access to the phone, wireless charging and the A13 Bionic chipset. Before the release of the new iPhone range, this was the fastest chip in a smartphone. You\u2019re going to be paying for some serious quality when it comes down to the iPhone SE. It really is one of the best budget phones of 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Huawei P Smart 2020<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every single year, there\u2019s a new Huawei P Smart, one of their most notorious budget handsets. This is updated to follow with new trends and features that have hit the market. One of the biggest additions to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrofone.co.uk\/contract-phone-deals\/huawei-p-smart-2020\">Huawei P Smart 2020<\/a> is the rear mounted fingerprint scanner. This gives you easy access to your phone without having to worry about anyone seeing your passcode. You do also have the chance to use a passcode however, the fingerprint sensor is far more secure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is one of the best budget phones of 2020 because when you buy the phone outright, you\u2019re looking at paying less than \u00a3200. This is much lower than a lot of handsets on the market that carry similar, if not the same, features as this one. As a Huawei phone, you can trust that you\u2019re going to get great speeds and a reliable handset.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our amazing range of mobile phones on sale right now!
