Bought a Nokia 4.2. For the price-
Display- Good
Design and build- VERY GOOD
Performance- good, judging the specifications.
Battery life- Ok
Main Camera- Bad, especially under low light.
Charging- Slow as it doesn't have fast charging.
Bonus features- NFC, regular updates (guranteed to get updates until atleast mid 2021).

Hey GSMArena, how come your "Best Entry-level Smartphones Buyers Guide" is dated November 2020 when this is in fact an article of late 2019?
I'm sure you forgot to provide a disclaimer to the effect that this is in fact an update to the previous article.
Thanks and kudos for the good job though I'd prefer you do regular reviews of phones from other brands than the everyday Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Sony, LG, Huawei and HMDs of this world.

Lol, the Samsung phones on your list is much more expensive than Xiaomi ones. If the criteria is < $250, then Redmi Note 8/8T/8 Pro should be on the list.

I just got an A50. It is NOT glitch-free. When transferring all my information from my old phone to this one my instagram page disappeared. It saved a couple of my passwords but not all my user names OR passwords.
There's more but WHY IS THE CHARGING CORD SO SHORT?

Negatives saying uncertainty of Android10 on M10s and A20e seem unjust.
Samsung has been very good with their update policy lately.
these phones will surely be upgraded to android 10.

Guys the most budget entry level smartphone would be the Cherry Mobile S8 offering a fingerprint and face id packed with 3 gigs or ram and 32gigs of storage altho the display is just 720p for $80 I think GSMArena should add Cherry mobile even tho its just from the Philippines.

Nice, putting "best camera" phones on this article whilst ignoring the P30 and the P30 Pro.
I got the distinct impression that Huawei Was ignored completely when they were making this list.
Which is complete bs
