Need android phone less than $300

[PhoneyFrank1]

I am looking to buy a no contract smart phone for less than $300. I don't have much in way of requirements other than it be at least android version 10 or higher and memory of 32GB or higher. Suggestions?

I'm pretty sure the pixel 6A is about $300, that should probably be the only thing you consider.

I heartily agree with the Pixel 6a suggestion -- it's currently $299 at Best Buy if you get it unlocked ($250 if you activate it through Best Buy): https://www.bestbuy.com/site/google-pixel-6a-128gb-unlocked-sage/6509966.p?skuId=6509966

I can also tell you that the Galaxy A32 5G is quite good, although it's a couple of years old. You can find it at various sellers for <$200, but it looks like they're often refurbished or used.

Pixel or Motorola

Google takes trade ins also so don’t forget that.
I traded in my iPhone 13 mini for a Pixel 7a. Cut the price down considerably.

So, you're on the hunt for a sweet no-contract smartphone under 300 bucks? Nice! I feel you on the Android version and memory specs you're after. Here are a couple of suggestions that fit the bill: check out the Google Pixel 4a or the Samsung Galaxy A32. Both pack Android 10 (or higher) goodness and offer solid memory options. They're budget-friendly champs that won't break the bank. Go ahead, grab one of these bad boys, and get ready to rock the smartphone game without breaking a sweat or your wallet!

I would buy a new budget device with at least Android 12 or 13 for that.(well maybe $350 converted, £300 here)
Decent 1080p screens nowadays. NFC, you'll nearly always get impressive performance, one decent daylight camera, at least 64gb, more likely 128gb storage, possibly 6gb rather than 4gb of ram etc.

I read or watch new reviews all the time.

You may have to move here to the UK as we have more choice!

Seriously I would think there are deals on many models in the US, depending on Carrier compatibility
