It is not necessary to spend tens of millions of dong, users can choose a cheap smartphone with many valuable features.
Let's find out the reasons why cheap smartphones are becoming more and more worth buying at the present time.
Good performance at affordable price
In the past, when buying a cheap smartphone, users often had to accept many performance trade-offs.
Basic apps often ran slowly, especially on Android smartphones, which are notorious for slowing down after a few years of use.
Even gaming was limited to simple 2D games.

However, as technology continues to advance, the performance of budget smartphones has improved significantly.
For example, the Pixel 8a not only runs most apps well, but also integrates many of Google's latest AI features, such as Gemini and advanced photo editing tools.
Even the Galaxy A55 shows impressive capabilities. While users may still want to upgrade after a few years, that's largely due to major advancements in the industry.
Camera technology keeps getting better
Just a few years ago, owning a budget smartphone meant settling for a camera that was barely usable in daylight.

The image quality often paled in comparison to professional cameras. Even when there was a secondary camera, the quality was often poor.

Today, the bar has been raised. While most secondary cameras are not great, the main cameras on budget
smartphones can now take impressive photos thanks to advances in sensor technology and AI processing.
Users can even take pretty good night photos, although it will still take time for smartphones to achieve low-light photography quality comparable to professional cameras from Canon, Nikon or Sony.
Focus on innovation
While many budget smartphones are still mediocre, it’s becoming easier to find models with impressive designs. The Nothing Phone 2a is arguably more stylish than the iPhone 16 Pro, especially with its unique glyph lighting feature. Meanwhile, the Pixel 8a’s camera design feels just as “premium” as the more expensive products on the market.

Even foldable smartphones are starting to appear in the budget segment. If you don’t mind opting for a 2023 model, you can get a Motorola Razr for much less. The 2024 models won’t be too expensive either. While Samsung hasn’t launched a budget foldable yet, rumors suggest the company is working on a more affordable Z Flip.
