Six of the best smartphones under £200

Here’s something the big mobile phone stores would rather you didn’t know. It’s no longer necessary to spend a fortune to get a high-spec smartphone. Although the top-end mobiles will still set you back somewhere north of £450, there are plenty of high-performance handsets that you can pick up for around one third of that.

There’s a common thread to the phones in this round-up; they’re all Android handsets. All, that is, except this one. Android phones tend to rule the budget arena, but this Windows Phone comes in well below the £200 mark and includes the specs that are increasingly common at this pricepoint: quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 8GB storage.
