Q1 of 2016 has already passed by with a lot of new budget smartphones being launched and introduced. Fast growing as it is, budget smartphones of 2016 have some significant features compared to that of last year.
Budget smartphones 2016: a significant improvment
Before we start, by “budget smartphone”, we are referring to those mobiles that cost no more than USD 300 (which is around PHP 14K and Rs 20K), a price that is rather affordable to the majority of users. First feature we have noticed from budget smartphones of 2016 is that, more and more of them are being packed with a strong 3GB RAM, instead of 2GB RAM like in 2015. Some great examples for this include, but not limited to Lenovo Lemon 3 Plus, Xiaomi Mi4s, Ulefone Vienna and so on…
The second feature we can find from budget smartphones of 2016 is fingerprint scanner. Used to be a signature of Apple iPhone products, fingerprint scanner can now be found on lower-end smartphones for under USD 300, or even under USD 200, both Chinese and non-Chinese handsets. Thirdly, as a big battery is becoming more and more preferable among users, more and more budget smartphones are offering the exact same feature: packing up a 3,000 mAH battery or even bigger for a smallest price tag possible.
Together with a decent battery capacity, the forth thing you can look for with lower than 300 dollars is fast charge capability. This makes charging time the best convenient we could ever enjoyed, allowing users to take the most advantage when buying a new smartphone, even for a very low price. Last but not least, even though a micro SD card slot is still highly appreciated, a bigger ROM is always of priority. That explains why many producers focus on giving their budget smartphones a very nice internal space for maximum storage. And you can easily buy 32GB ROM, 64GB ROM or even 128GB ROM with no more than USD 300.
