When buying a new top-of-the-range smartphone, today's customers can easily get rid of four-digit sums. A high price for an everyday device that many people replace every two years. Fortunately, there are still "people's phones" at the other end of the price spectrum for around 300 euros. But are they any good? Krone+ has tested popular models.

Entry-level smartphones today have many features that were once reserved for the expensive luxury class. Waterproof devices, fingerprint scanners in the display, fast 6 gigahertz Wi-Fi, good screens and cameras: all of this has found its way into the entry-level class, so the "low-cost devices" from Samsung, Vivo and Xiaomi offer a lot of technology for an affordable price. Despite similar features, a favorite emerged in the test.
