While flagship smartphones boast impressive features, spending $1,000 is not a prerequisite for a satisfying Android experience nowadays. If you’re in need of a new smartphone and have a budget of approximately $200, there are numerous excellent options available. Surprisingly, some of the best Android phones under $200 come equipped with features like 5,000mAh batteries, multi-lens camera setups, and the promise of extended software updates.

We thoroughly evaluate various Android phones to ensure optimal performance without encountering unexpected issues down the line. If we were to recommend one Android smartphone in the sub-$200 price range, it would be the latest addition to Samsung’s lineup, the Galaxy A15 5G. Boasting a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen, a sizable battery with 25W fast charging support, and more, it offers a compelling package. Alternatively, consider Motorola’s Moto G Play (2024) for a straightforward yet functional device.

If you are shopping for sub 200$ buy used. I have bought a Note 9, S10E, LG G8, ... for under 80$ each. Imagine what 200$ gets you.

None of these are getting updates though.

You're right, but all these phones will be better than any current budget. People who just need a phone to do basic things will probably not care updates, and they'll be fine as long as they don't download anything off random sites.

Yeah that's not at all how malware distribution works these days. It's done through hacked websites, shady ad networks, and highjacked apps.
