With the passage of time, cell phones have evolved into a necessity for everyone. Gone are the days when flip phones, like the Jitterbug cell phone, were considered a status symbol. Every year, corporations attempt to equip phones with the most up-to-date technology to meet our day-to-day demands more quickly and easily. Yet, for many it’s still challenging to find the cheapest smartphone that meets your demands.

Never fear—this article lists four quality smartphones that can be yours for under $500 USD:

1. Google Pixel 5A 5G

This phone offers a good combination of features in a budget-friendly form. IP67 waterproofing is a fascinating and premium feature that is less common on mid-range handsets, so it contributes to the Pixel 5a 5G’s charm. A 3.5mm headset jack is also included. Additionally, because of its 5G speeds, you’ll be able to watch content on the phone without buffering. It also comes with an OLED screen and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. The battery has a capacity of 4620 mAh. In the United States, this phone costs $450 USD.

2. Apple iPhone SE

The absence of compromise in this iPhone SE is what sets it apart, as Apple crammed all of the best features from its higher-priced iPhones into the $20 model. It has an A13 Bionic processor, which allows for long battery life, a breathtaking portrait capability feature and Smart HDR images, spectacular video taking, and stereo audio, gaming, and remarkably fast web browsing equipped with powerful security features. This phone can be acquired for around $399 USD.

3. Samsung Galaxy A52 5G

Samsung’s A-series devices are very budget-friendly. Released this year, the Galaxy A52 5G is no exception. It features multiple cameras, including a 64-megapixel camera and a very good selfie camera, and a fingerprint sensor on the screen. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 750G 5G CPU and has 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage. The phone also has a 120Hz display refresh rate and, as expected, an OLED display. The phone is roughly $450 USD in price. The Galaxy A52 5G will function on all cellular providers’ 5G networks, making it a good offer for US users searching for a low-cost smartphone with 5G connectivity.

4. OnePlus 8

If you’re looking for a phone that delivers reliable performance on a budget, the OnePlus 8 is the smartphone for you. It boasts a 90Hz, 6.55-inch AMOLED display with a Full HD+ resolution of 2,400 x 1,080 (20:9) and a mirror-like surface that varies in color based on your viewing angle. It also has a fingerprint reader built into the screen. This phone, unlike previous OnePlus phones, has a punch-hole front camera. It also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 CPU, an Adreno 650 graphics processor, and a 4,300 mAh battery that charges quickly. The phone costs roughly $420 USD, which is fairly reasonable given the capabilities it offers.

A brief word regarding the phone’s waterproofing: the OnePlus smartphones from T-Mobile, as well as those from Verizon, will be waterproof. OnePlus claims that this device is as water-resistant as previous generations.
