'polished overall experience'

'It’s easily the most impressive phone available under $300, and it doesn’t force you to make the compromises that are commonly required by cheap phones. '

'Mesmerizing IPS-based display'

'In a market full of unwieldy phones, it is refreshingly good to come across a mobile that's actually handy.'

' The Xiaomi Mi 4i packs some fairly impressive hardware, including a 5-inch full-HD display, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a solid compact build while still sticking very close to the lower end of the cost spectrum. '

'Stunning display.'

'Sound quality is the most responsive in the mid-range frequency.'

'With decent hardware and a price tag of around ?300, it is a solid phone. '

'It will feel comfortable to most users and the Xperia M4 Aqua is very thin and light for a mid-range phone at 7.3 mm and 136 g.'

'It's the best equipped smartphone in the Lumia 640 series - it packs a massive 5.7" screen and a 13MP camera. '

'You also get 1080p video capture on both the front and rear cameras, with good results. '

'The Lumia 735, which of course runs Windows Phone, is pitched as the ultimate selfie phone thanks to an ultra-wide, 5-megapixel front-facing camera. '

'The Nokia Lumia 735 is comfy to hold, with colourful, interchangeable cases and a good screen.'

'Granted, it's not a phone that stands out from the crowd but one that looks solid, dependable and by no means cheap.'

'It's a marriage of simplicity and exemplary detail, resulting in a pretty successful product.'

'The Samsung Galaxy A3 runs on the latest available Android 4.4.4 KitKat enhanced with the TouchWiz UI. '

'HTC has taken a minimalist approach when designing the Desire 816.'

'The 720x1280 resolution might be stretched thin over the 5.5in screen, but the resulting 267 pixels-per-inch is dense enough to deliver a solid viewing experience.'

'Footage is smooth, but again, you lose some detail in low light.'
