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, Samsung Galaxy S24 FE (Fan Edition) and A55, Nothing Phone 2a, Xiaomi 14T 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 2 and 2A and Samsung’s Galaxy S24 FE aren’t far behind. And the Samsung A55 and A35 are even cheaper options that will suit most smartphone fans.
Meanwhile the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is a fantastic mid-range phone, boasting impressive specs for a budget-friendly price. Or if your budget is smaller, try the Xiaomi 14T or those excellently specced Poco mobiles.
So which is your personal favourite mid-range smartphone? Let us know below!

Que cara chato
My Samsung Galaxy A55 died after 1 drop after having it only for 1 week. Apparently it damaged chipset, but my gosh it was marketed as strong… To Samsung's defense – my friends have A55 and theirs survived drops. Maybe mine was deffective…
i have the nord 4 this phone for the price is just drives me insane the battery and performance here real deal
Poco x6 pro and poco f 6 The best!!!!!
Which is better a55 or v40 thank you
Samsung a35 wallpaper name pls?
I cant decide between pixel 8a and nothing phone 2
Even tho the Asian market( Oppo, Xiaomi, Poco, Vivo etc) is represented by a large variety of companies which provide us with good performance-wise telephone at a reasonable price, I do have to say that there is a big down-side to these phones: the amount of bloatware and unnecessary apps that come with them, the old but stil on-going issue with the ads on screen and the already pre installed web browser. Not to mention the almost inexistent customer support or any helpful advice from any "customer service" to say so.
I do think the only ones who are not included in this category would be the OnePlus and Huawei, although they also come in packed with a few unnecessary apps.
I'm looking to replace my galaxy a12 as it is now very slow and the camera is awful. I am currently looking at the cmf phone 1 but I might spend a bit more and get the nothing phone 2a
The xiaomi T series are literally flagship phones available at midrange price
I paid £561 for my Pixel 8 Pro new from Google almost six months ago, and I'm happy I did. It was 20% off, and the trade-in value for the Pixel 7a was £238. I'm pleased.

Not Sure What I'm Going To Upgrade To From My Redmi Note 10 Pro It's November The 1st So I've Got A Few Weeks Before The Shops Jack Up Their Prices For Christmas Could Do With Some Help Uncle Spurt
I needed to buy a phone for my dad. This video helped a lot
Planning on getting the 8a soon and this video just solidified my decision
Im here after purchasing an iphone 15 pro few months ago and maaan, i miss my old android
Just got the nord 4 with 512gb storage and 16gb ram for 482 euro and it sure is great,upgraded from my s20fe and the difference is noticeable.The only thing i don t like is the lack of charger in the box that only happens in Europe i don t know why…
No useful information whatsoever. What is the point of this comparison?
bhai 35-45k best phone list anen joldi
Motorola
s23 fe is cheaper than a55 in my country right now
7 years of OS upgrades is silly. The phone will be well out of date by then for what is needed for updates.
You forgot to say the redmi note 5g has a headphone jack! 13:50
How about honor 200/200 pro
Thank youuu
Indian fans ❤….
Isn’t it better to just get the pixel 8, they’re pretty much the same price
What's the name of the game that's not Genshin Impact!?
This guy must hate Sony
My friend you the best ps I been with phones 25 years not to mention lost lots
There aren't as many choices for Android phone, if you don't like Chinese phones the only other option is Samsung.
How does the Sony Xperia 10V keep up with those?
Poco f6 has been my choice and the f4 before that, just great phones !
Do you have any health issue nowadays? Any illness suffers you? You look little bit exhausted
I want a Good camera, and Stereo Speaker, and SD memory card place.Anyone know any good lowprice phone
Can you have sd card on A55
NO samsung for me. TBH, getting too complacent.. Been supporting galaxy ultra for 3 gens.
Was tempted to get nord 4 but end up with honor 200 pro instead. Reason for purchase is using it as a second phone.
Oneplus has one of the better software from chinese companies tbf.
But since ive tried realme(i wont buy em again, shitons of bloatware), huawei, vivo, xiaomi… Was curious with Honor.
No regrets there.
Hi Chris, very helpful video. I've been scouring reddit and watched more review videos than I care to admit but this is the first one where I feel I got a really good range and breakdown.
I initially had my eyes on the Xiaomi 14T as my budget is up to 500 euro and my main priority is a great camera and battery life, but it seems there are better cameras out there.
For someone with a budget up to 500, with the intent of using the phone for regular day to day, photos and watching videos, what would you recommend?
I really need to…..I really wish I could understand what you're saying…. and sometimes I hear terms but I have no idea what they mean and I don't mean technical terms
Hi I need advice, I'm looking for a midrange phone, with a great battery, camera that takes good low light/ night shots, and a headphone jack, any suggestions? Thanks.
I always love your reviews but just a wee question, do you line them up as per your preference? or from More expensive to less? Thanks
The Pixel 8a is 120hz
Is s22 good enough for 2024 ? Android update till 16?
Bro wallpaper app please
Best android to buy coming from iPhone
One plus nord 2 user here, It broke into pieces slowly within 2 years, worst mobile bought in lifetime, Like I used 20+ mobiles in my lifetime and oneplus nord 2t was the worst of all of them
I bought an s20 ultra for $300 a few months ago. I works great but the 1 to 5x zoom looks like it was shot on a flip phone. I plan on buying a OnePlus 13 when it launches. I don't feel like paying an arm and a leg for an s25 then selling my soul if I want the ultra model.
Good video, thanks man.
I wish you made a similar video for good smartphones with an ips. I can't stand pls, oled, amoled. Nor can my eyes.
I have an A14 and it's a P.O.S.
Hi a55 is that a great camera
I'm wondering which one I should buy from these options. I like to play a lot of games (Efootball, SF4…) and also like to take good photos and videos. Hopefully, it doesn't slow after at least 3 years. I'm currently using Samsung A52. It's still a bit slow when gaming.
No Oppo phone?
Yeah, i got a fold6…
Probably too late for this video
i am looking for budget phone plz tell galaxy a55 or Redmi 13 pro ?
Poco x6 pro here. Working great after 8 month
Best midrange is my Xcover6 Pro that can have a new battery ANY time.
All these lhones look so interesting.
The flagship phones are all boring bricks.
Redmi Note 13 pro 5G here .
Moto 50 neo comes with Carbon silicon battery of 5k mah neans the it would be awesome deal under 22k.
Please update this before December first week
Been thinking of getting an upgrade. I've a Samsung 52S, which of these phones would be a good upgrade to go for?
I got my first Samsung Galaxy Fe phone a few days and I'm a big fan I'm used to have Galaxy A series phone I really like my Samsung Galaxy s24 Fe
Does anyone here have a redmi 13 pro plus? Please share your views
Still using my galaxy a33 no need to upgrade
I feel the liver talk my man. Are you alright?
Got my Motorola Neo Edge 50 a few days ago and couldn't be more pleased. Pleasantly surprised at how good it is, even though the reviews had all been pretty positive. £330, which is a steal in my eyes for what you get.
Sony Xperia 10 VI
have been a fan of this channel for years now and have found it very useful and at times funny but the iphone hate is getting quite out of hand now its like android are paying you to talk badly about them and the fact you keep pointing out how pricey they are isnt fair when samsung sell crappy fold phones for thousands of pounds that dont even last a year, all im saying is please keep the reviews fair as not everyone has had a bad experience with apple
Bought a poco x6 pro in may. Its been a disaster, Xiaomi also failed to repair the thing after 3 attempts.
Which one is the cheapest phone in the video out of all of these?
Which of these can i use in rural USA?
TRADE OFFER:
– I recieve Google Pixel 8a
– You recieve my beaten up Nokia
It'd be nice to have a price and pros/cons after each phone, it's tough to keep everything you're saying in my mind through the video.
Hey where do you get your wallpapers, they're cool
Hey where do you get your wallpapers, they're cool
Ah, yes, I love British people.
Nothing phone 2 still worth to get it now? Android 13 with only 3 major upgrade while S Gx A55 using android 14 with 4 major upgrade plus lower price
if the a55 was counted then the 12r should be counted and if it was then oneplus blows everything else out of the water

Thanks for the review
REDMI Note 13 Pro 5G . Super phone , super fast , best camera
I bought the Poco F6 for £269 and I genuintely can't wait, will be my first time having a well performing smartphone
When you have 200 mpix camera you should really try 200 mpix mode other then regular one. Cheers.
No Honor 200/pro?
WHAT BOUT S23
Where is the infinix gt20 pro?
I have the F6 saying the battery life is decent is very disingenuous considering how hard the Poco subreddit gets spammed about how it drains faster than your bank account on blackfriday
is there a playstore in POCO?
I currently have the 23fe and I'm tired of the overheating and limited internal storage. I would like something with a larger screen and at least 256GB and something that can still handle extreme hardcore gaming like Nintendo switch and PS2 games. Camera doesn't matter
Is the oppo reno 11 F 5g also a good choice? (279€)
Motorolla edge 30 is 180euros now, get it and life a good life.
