This phones for under $500 ? In what country!? Or is this on eBay? By the way the LG from vids and specs should be in #1 it clearly is way better in comparison according to other phone comparison youtubers made, if you are going to say best phones under 500bucks you shouldn’t rate them just mention 5 phones whit out you having a comparison battle your 1 to 5 list is not valid. Just cause the motoz has attachments that does not mean it’s better than lg g8 or should be in 4th place, why couldn’t be in 2nd or 3rd and not to mention every attachments are $199 each, I dont like vids like this they are misleading and makes me think they are just made for views👎
I have a different view to you, my choice is the Pixel 3A!
The lg g8 thin q has air gestures just like the Google pixel 4
IMHO Pixel 3A should have made the list. Also, sub $500 is the category where people mostly prefer a phone with 3.5mm jack, at least as of now. So, Pixel 3 and iPhone 8 are not preferred much.
I love my iPhone 8 Plus. No gimmicks just a super solid phone.
Just get Oneplus 6T or Pixel 3XL. Their prices will drop soon enough if not already.
Dude you missed a lot of better phones under 500 or less.
Headphone jac is now a bizarre feature lol, I don’t blame you
Wait for the iphone se 2 instead
Come on REALLY? i can give you 5+ phones with snapdragon 855 that are around $500, don’t know why would you buy any of the phones in the video unless CNET want products officially released in the U.S. even the S9+ is now priced $400~ the list is definitely questionable.
I’ve had my S7 for 3 year’s because I have waited to see what these new phone’s bring. So far my eye is on the RealMe X2 Pro which has a OLED screen with 90Hz refresh, Fast Charging from zero to 100% in 30mins, surround sound speakers, face I.d unlocking, in screen fingerprint unlocking, 5 cameras, Options with 6GB of RAM / 64GB of storage, 8GB/128GB and 12GB/256GB, The battery is large at 4,000mAh. All this for £345. Insane 🤩
My favorite phone under $500 right now is the Realme X2 Pro. 6–12 gb ram, 64–256 gb internal storage, 90 hz refresh rate, 4000 mha battery,
*deep breath* in display fingerprint scanner, amoled screen, headphone jack, fast charging out of the box, Face ID, AND one of the smallest notches I’ve ever seen. It’s a better phone than the iPhone 11 Pro Max for less than 1/3 of the price.
My all time favorite phone that is good priced and all around amazing is the Samsung a70. But, I have spectrum mobile. Who by surprise, doesn’t support the a70 in the BYOD.
Iyaz, How dare you Shade LG! 😤
Typing from my 2019 LG Stylo 5 (T‑Mobile) 🤯
Huawei nova 5t?
What was that game shown at the end of the video?
Moto Zs battery life is way better than Pixel 4 😜😜
K20 pro and x2 pro laughing loud at this video
Just get the iPhone 8! Plus you’ll get a free year of tv+
Come on dude i have a 350 dollars k20 pro.
->It has SD 855
->Triple rear camera, a Sony imx 586 sensor (48 mp) and a 20mp front one)
-> 27w fast charging
-> 4000mah battery
-> full screen display, pop up camera, around 92% screen to body ratio and a horizon amoled display
-> it has face unlock and in display fingerprint scanner
-> it has a metal glass sandwich design
-> has a benchmark score of 3,70,000
-> 6gb ram and 128 gb storage
-> usb type c and a headphone jack
Why aren’t there any Xiaomi products on this list, I have a redmi 6 which I bought for only 130 dollars (perfect condition) and it’s one of the best phones I’ve had.
Probably going for the Moto Z4 🙂
LG V35 on Amazon $300
Galaxy S8 and S9 $300-$500
Galaxy Note 8/9 $300-$500
A budget One plus phone like the OnePlus X but better would be the best mid-range phone imo sadly OnePlus just hasn’t made that happen yet.…great…
All I need is a big battery, 4k camera, 1440p screen. So I chose the Razer Phone 2 for $350
The iPhone 8 is not under 500 maybe cos I live in England
This guy clearly dosen’t know anything about phones !
Guys, best phone you can get under 500$ now is Huawei Mate 20 X
A50? My choice are oneplus 6t or a regular 7
a 70 ?
Can you please tell me who is better
Samsung A50 or Iphone6s
A50
I’m getting the Razer Phone 2. Currently only $349 on Amazon. Yes it’s from 2018, only has the Snapdragon 845, poor cameras, no headphone jack… but it’s got 8 gigs of RAM.
I jumped off of the iphone bandwagon during the 4 series. No regrets.
I’m on my 4th pixel 3xl . It is plagued with software issues and security patch fixes. My best advice for pixel is to not update to Android 10. Bluetooth keeps stopping will be your new daily anthem as it pops up every 4 seconds
