What phone to buy if you only have 500 lei?!New phones vs SH phones and what you need to be careful about in both cases!

Time 17/09/2022 By myhoneybakedfeedback

Do you want a phone but ... do you have a very small budget?Unfortunately you have only a few available options that are really good, but there is also a twist here, either you buy the new phone or used.As a price we decided to fit around 500 lei, but obviously the price for each phone we will go in the list could vary from day to day, depending on offers and the availability of products in stores.

New phones

We will start with a few new phones that we consider decent for the requested price, we mention that in the list we will not include obscure brands in which we do not trust, that is, those "producers" who do nothing but rebrawing in China models, and then boastsAs it launches new phones in Romania!And let's not forget about the warranty and software updates, read on the pages of these "manufacturers" that complaints make customers on this subject, if the "producers" do not delete the comments.So, for the list we decided to stop at five models of phones, maybe a few bonuses.We have included both smart phones, but also less intelligent (but good), with keys instead of touch.

Tips&Tricks: Prima chestie de care trebuie sa tii cont daca vrei „sa faci o afacere”, adica sa-ti iei un telefon mai bun decat iti permit banii disponibili, este sa vanezi o oferta.

Nokia 5 - We managed to find this phone at the price of 499 lei at PC Garage.The price is a very good one, he is on offer at this time, so he will probably return to over 600 lei in some time.The phone comes equipped with a 5 IPS HD screen.2 inches, a Snapdragon 430 octacore, 2GB RAM and 16GB processor for storage.The operating system is Android 7.1.1 but can be updated to Android 9.The battery has a capacity of 3000mAh, and the design of the phone is very elegant.The good parts?It is smart, it has a Qualcomm processor, it has a decent battery and a grandfather screen, it is reduced (ie in theory at least, you give less than it is listed normally), it is "the company" and you can update it.

Xiaomi Redmi 6a - the phone of Xioami we managed to find it at Forit;It is available to order in 4 days and has a price a little over 400 lei.If you want to pick it up from the store, and you are willing to pay extra for it, you can find it at PC Garage for 430lei.Redmi 6a has a 5 -screen.45 Inch IPS type with a resolution of 1440 × 720.The processor is a MediaTek Helio A22, along with which we have 2GB RAM and 16GB for storage.The operating system is Android 8.1, but are about to receive Android 9.Plus?The company is serious, the phone looks and moves decent.

Samsung Galaxy J2 Pro 2018-this Galaxy J2 Pro 2018 has a price of 550 lei at Quickmobile (ie a little above budget and you borrow another 10% from a friend).Comes equipped with a 5 -inch screen with 960 × 540 pixels and a Super AMOLED panel.The processor is a Snapdragon 425 quad core.For storage we have 16GB and RAM memory has a capacity of 1.5gb.Why would I give extra money to the others so far?Well be careful: in theory it has slightly weaker specifications than previous, but the processor is still a snapdragon, and the phone is Samsung.The J series is ok as reliability, but if you still have problems, Samsung service is good in Romania.Not for nothing in one of two phones in Romania is Samsung.

Ce telefon sa iti cumperi daca ai doar 500LEI?! New phones vs SH phones si la ce trebuie sa fii atent in ambele cazuri!

Asus Zenfone Live (L1) - at 440lei you can buy an excellent phone, and this is on offer at this time at PC Garage, so we do not know how much this reduced price will hold.The phone comes equipped with a 5 -screen.5 inch with a resolution of 1440 × 720 pixels with an IPS panel.The processor is a Snapdragon 425 quad core, care are alaturi 2GB RAM si 16GB pentru stocare.The operating system is Android 8 GO Edition.ASUS is an "underdog" that is, a company that at least in this market wants to assert itself, which means they will try to offer more money.On the other hand, I am a well-known brand, with prestige in technology, whether we are talking about PCs, laptops or hardware components.Sure, this is not a guarantee but it is not a little thing.

Cat B35-this phone we could say that it is semi-matte.Although he does not have a touch, he is equipped with keys, he still has wifi, browser and some social applications, all due to the kios operating system, which is derived from Android.Cat B35 is a resistant phone, he had IP and ML-T certification.So it is resistant to shocks, dust, heat, water, etc ... we managed to find the phone at a price of 475lei.And now, what's in the list?If you are part of a category less interested in appearance and functions, and you are rather oriented on resistance and reliability, then this is the phone for you.The battery holds as china and the phone is indestructible.Only good to use on the site or in a car service.Or you throw it in your pocket with the keys and the patent and has no hell.

Huawei Y5 2018 - At 475lei these phone comes equipped with a MediaTek Quad Core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB for storage.The screen has a diagonal of 5.45 inch with resolution of 1440 × 720 pixels.The operating system is Android 8.1.Huawei wins strong land in this area of cheap phones and rightly.They started to get out of the game "manufacturers" mentioned earlier, with cheap and quite good terminals.This phone has an excellent price-quality ratio and is not ugly at all.

Sure, there are examples, and we are waiting for them all in the comment section, but in principle we wanted to offer you some effective landmarks when you want to buy a new phone around 500 lei. Asadar, tips&tricks:

  1. Uitati-va la oferte. Este cea mai buna sansa sa-ti iei un telefon mai scump decat ti-ai permite in mod obisnuit.
  2. Foloseste cu incredere comparatoarele de pret: price.ro, compari.ro etc. Ai putea evita o teapa!
  3. Uita-te atent la specificatii: procesorul „ideal” este de la Qualcomm (Snpadragon). Bateria sa fie cat mai mare (preferabil peste 3000mAh). Ecranul cauta sa fie macar IPS. Minim 1.5gb RAM. De la restul, gen camere, constructie etc. nu poti avea mari pretentii la banii astia.
  4. Stim ca suna putin aiurea, dar cauta sa fie o marca de care ai auzit, serioasa. Gen cele de mai sus: Nokia, Samsung, Asus, Huawei, Xiaomi.

SH phones

And now let's talk about national sport: used phones from olx.

I found some interesting phones between 450 and 550 lei on OLX, but you know how it is here, you are negotiated or you have to be lucky to find a good price at a good price.

Tips&Tricks: Una dintre cele mai mari tentatii cand vine vorba de telefoane second, este ca iti poti achizitiona telefoanele de top ale anilor precedenti la preturi de dumping.But ... is it worth the purchase?

Therefore, there is the possibility to buy the following Apple's following phones in this price range: iPhone 6/6S/SE.From Samsung I found the Galaxy S6/S6 Edge models, Note 4, and with a little luck I gave over a few models of S7/S7 Edge without cracked screens, but they still had small aesthetic defects..From Huawei I found Mate 10 Lite and P10 Lite, P9, P9 Lite and Nova.From Moto I found Z and Z2 Play.From ASUS I found the Zenfone 3 and Zenfone 4 Selfie models.From OnePlus we found the 3T and x models.

These are the terminals we recommend, but obviously you can look for at SH what manufacturer you want.However.Obviously the phone the older the battery is to suffer, even if the performance is better than a new phone in the same budget.

Conclusion?

If you are careful enough and skilled (if not, but still you to take a fitze phone, take a skilled friend with you), a previous flagship can be a good deal.I mean, with a few hundred lei you can get big with a Samsung S or an Apple, without anyone knowing where you took it.Some of them are still in good condition and will keep you for at least one year.Sure, you can get your whole beauty, but that's the risk you take on any SH product in this money.Stolen, repaired, with hidden defects (bullet batteries, changed screens, etc.).

If you don't want sh or you just don't understand, go on a new phone.And here the recommendations from the previous paragraph are valid!

Good luck!
