The most advanced phones on the market are often well over four figures in price, but that's not to say there aren't great mid-range alternatives for those who don't want the most advanced cameras or fastest processors.

2022, in fact, has been a particularly good year for this type of phone and leaves several alternatives worth considering.

These are the five best phones that can be bought right now for less than 300 euros.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G

A good camera with a 1/1.52" sensor size, 108 megapixel resolution, 6.67" AMOLED FHD+ screen at 120 Hz refresh rate, a huge 5000 mAh battery and 67W fast charging that allows charge the phone to 100% in 45 minutes or to 50% in just 15. All, in addition, with a good design and cooling technology that ensures that it does not heat up even in the longest gaming sessions.

279 euros in the version with 64 GB of storage.

realm 9

Realme has a version of this phone with 5G compatibility, but it's less interesting than this alternative, partly because the Realme 9 boasts a much better camera, with 108-megapixel resolution.

It has an elegant and slim design with a very attractive finish, a Snapdragon 680 processor and a Super AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. Good battery, too, with 5,000 mAh capacity.

279 euros in its version with 6 GB of RAM, although it is possible to find it lowered frequently.

Xiaomi LITTLE X4 Pro 5G

There are few mobiles that offer more for less.

It has a huge, very bright 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 108-megapixel main camera, a very good front-facing selfie camera (16-megapixel) and 67W fast-charging support.

Bet on a Snapdragon 695 5G processor that, without being the most advanced, is quite competent, partly thanks to its 6 GB of RAM.

299 euro.

OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite

Some details make it quickly stand out from the competition, such as its mirror effect finish and color gradient.

It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G processor and its 6.59-inch screen is LCD, but it has a response speed of 120 Hz. The 64 MP main camera boasts an f/1.7 aperture and gets amazing photos for a smartphone in this range.

The official price is 309 euros but it is common to see it reduced.

Samsung Galaxy A23 5G

A simple mobile but solid in features and benefits that also surprises even with a headphone connection, increasingly difficult to find in smartphones.

The screen is LCD, not AMOLED, but instead offers a very small front notch for the camera and 120 Hz refresh rate.

Some of its strengths, in addition to compatibility with 5G networks, are the 5,000 mAh battery and compatibility with Dolby Atmos.

It sounds great and it also has a 50-megapixel main camera that is combined with a 5-megapixel ultra-wide angle.

The 128 GB version costs 299 euros and can be found at a discount for even less.
