Best Cell Phones - 4 to 6 oz. Weight, 1.5 to 2.0 GB Installed RAM (GB), Under $300

'Considering how good-looking the display is, and how impressive the performance is – and the battery life isn't too bad either – it's hard to see how anyone could be disappointed with the Moto G4. '

'Otherwise, your search for a great phone at a low price ends here. '

'First impressions of the phone are that it’s pretty responsive, but with the odd glitch here and there.'

'No useless software'

'The Redmi Note 3 is a thoughtfully targeted device with a premium metal build, flagship-grade specs, and an iconic MIUI launcher. '

'Great design and build.'

'The screen is bright and with realistic colours and great viewing angles, making the Note 3 an ideal mobile device on which to enjoy video.'

'The Samsung Galaxy J5 is a fine budget smartphone. '

'TouchWiz interface still feels relatively smooth and responsive, and apps don't take an age to open either.'

'This display is pretty incredible for the price, despite its resolution.'

'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.'

'The screen-to-body ratio is high, with some pretty slim bezels.'

'Build quality is very good, the matte finish is excellent, though the reused design may be the reason the phone has lost some of its character.'

'The size and shape of the device is nice too.'

'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.'

'The K3 Note makes the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G (Review | Pictures) feel a bit dated, and is a better performer than the Yu Yureka Plus on at least a few counts.'

'How times have changed - it was not that long ago that you could hardly get a feature phone for $150, and these days this amount gets you a ridiculously good smartphone like the Lenovo K3 Note. '

'Along with its low price, the device has some decent specs and features that make it a respectable mid-tier performer. '

'Noise cancellation worked well, dispensing with moderately loud street noises. '
