when you’re expecting the first thing you hear in this video to be *HEY GUYS THIS IS AUSTIN* but instead you get *this video is sponsored by cLaSh rOYaLe*
unsubbeddddddd
But Clash Royale is actually a great game, try it
Nelson Hobbs I
total buyout
Kon trash royale
How can you make this video without Huawei/Honor, Asus, Xiaomi and Moto? :/
Motomoto
Likes you
Facts
Look at how, I think Moto moto likes you
'Cause phones of those brands don't cost below $200 in most countries (US included)
Okay i don't really understand this, why are the options in this video JUST SO BAD.
In india, under 200$ (13500 INR) we can get Asus zenfone max pro M1(SD 636, Dual Cameras, 64/4 GB, FHD+ 18:9 Panel, FP Sensor and more!) There are other options too, like Honor 9 lite, Honor 7x, Redmi note 5/5 Pro, Oppo RealMe Etc.
ALL OF WHICH COMPLETELY DESTROYS THE OPTIONS IN THIS VIDEO.
I don'tknow much about the phone available in US, but man.. These options are really bad compared to what you can get here.
Utkarsh thing is, there isn't much of a demand for Budget Smartphones In US, as over there people can afford the premium for the slightly more expensive phones like Motorola or even OnePlus
Unlike in India, Budget Smartphones rule the country as most middle classes wouldn't want to spend more than the Equivalent of $150 for a smartphone
9i is also better
Utkarsh
Budget smartphone market in India is extremely aggressive considering that the most sales are in this segment. Whereas there people can get higher priced devices on contracts and hence the low budget devices doesn't have that big of a market there. We're blessed to have an agressive market but on the other hand, contracts from network providers there gives the access to usage premium phones. Both countries have pros and cons in there types of devices available in there respective markets.
Because the availability is different between different places
Utkarsh the phone available in India yes are cheaper but overall quality is not the best or long lasting tbh whereas these phones could be running the same after 2 years
I have the Xiaomi Mi A1 and this thing is a beast. Runs fast as hell, android one so it's getting newest updates, metal body. Only complaint is that the front camera sucks. $199
And still big ass bezels
Aaron Joushua Much better than the iPhone X clones with disgusting notches
Anon and the screen bezels are huge
Meizu m6 note is the best
I also have one
Where's Xiaomi, Honor or their parent company Huawei?
Better looking and much better build quality on every single budget phone at $200, they should be on the list
Agreed
true
Elephone S8?
yeah, for $200 you can buy a xiaomi redmi 5 plus which is better than all of those phones
For 200$ you can get so much better value in India
Coz Xiaomi
Vishnu Prasad You can get it in other countries too, I'm in UK and I have a Xiaomi :) £120 and runs perfectly, runs all games I throw at it and never lags while using other applications
You can get the Nokia 5 in Portugal for $200. Pretty solid phone and since it's bought from a Portuguese store they're mandated by law to offer a 2 year warranty. Sure, the camera is not the greatest like the Nokia 2 (the processing really, really stucks) but install the Google Camera and you have a full stock Android phone with timely updates. I bought mine for 80€ due to my plan and it's been a great daily driver. It's even running stock Android 8.1 with the May security patch.
Estou à espera da Xiaomi em Portugal... O Nokia 5 é bom!
You can keep that Chinese crap to you, I'd take the Nokia with stock Android and the warranty that it'll be updated often.
André Fontes Porcaria chinesa? Concordo que as outras marcas são muito boas, nem disso algo parecido ao contrário... A Xiaomi cresceu tanto nos últimos tempos... Enfim... O desconhecimento junto da ignorância dá nisto. O que não pensas é que o teu querido Apple iPhone X foi feito na China...
Clash Royale is still alive?
No.
No
Yes
Maybe
Barley
Try xiaomi redmi note 4
4000mah battery
4gb ram +64gb rom
Snapdragon 625
Fingerprint sensor
highlights classy try redmi note 5 pro
mi a1
Chris Willis note, 5 pro is more costly than note4
Hex mi a1 is more costly
highlights classy my sis bought it for 165$. And if you can't afford to buy a smartphone at that price....Then you sir, have to work hard on your financial situation.

Aecrim Have you played it? Why don't you like it?
PowAndWow I bet he played it, but it's dying now... So that's why he probally writed this comment
Marijuts10 Growtopia I _kinda_ agree. It's a bit boring and stale, but it isn't dead. 5 million+ people still play it
PowAndWow 5 million+ this game was so popular but with the downloads and how much players played before it's actually dying I was into clash royale it got very boring....
Aecrim good
I don't get why Xiaomi phones weren't featured here. They are at a great price (mostly around 200$) and they offer a solid performance. They also offer almost all of the newer features on certain phones, such as the 18:9 aspect ratio (Xiaomi Redmi 5 / 5 Plus) etc. They (mostly) have USB C ports as well. Really don't see their downside, or even a reason for them not to be featured.
None of the cheap xiaomi have USB c
Random Person Except for Mi A1
Maybe Xiaomi isn't sold in the US?
xXxLaserCrafterxXx Oh it definitely is, but only online. You'll never see them in-store.
DannyPhantomPhandom ah ok
I love his videos, but Austin has a terrible pick in budget tech
talha hussain Which ones do you recommend?
Narata Try the mate se... for $230 on Amazon you get 4 gb ram + 64 gb storage with a 5.93(18:9) inch display and a fingerprint reader
AltJawga YT Nice, thanks!
Narata you could try out the Redmi Note 5 pro (good everything) and the elephone s8 (actual good qHD display) both around 200$
Plus in a week or two the Mi A2 and Nokia 6x will release . Both a little over 200$
Narata redmi note 5 pro b and Nokia 6x won't disappoint you in anyways.
No Moto G5 Plus? It's $200 and is better than all of these.
Clash Royale? Really?
MR Derp said Mr derp
Why not? If they pay money...
The Honor 7X smokes 'em all
Redmi note 5, too
the redmi note 5 pro wipes the floor with the 7x...badly
XandeR same phone
XandeR nah more money for rebranding f that
Redmi note 5, Mate SE and asus max pro m1 totally destroys 7x
I'd buy that for a dollar
BIG MONEY BIG PRIZES
Mr. Boppin? More like Mr. 🅱️oppin
The Honor 7X is really good for its price of $200
problem with that doodgee mix... that second camera is VERY possible fake... xD like a lot of these budget phones... xD
Im a big fan
redmi note 5 ai, huawei mate SE and nokia 6.1 are the best budget value phones to date
True
Honor 7x
I chose the Nubia M2 4GB 128GB over them all. Cost me $196.48
Xiaomi Redmi note 5 pro, Asus zenfone max pro and Oppo realme 1 are missing (Nokia X for China )
However, you could flash a custom ROM to the Doogee.
I woud take a Moto G5s or a xiaomi mi a1 , becouse of the Android updates =D
Lord Cekrom haha. Apparently you don't own a Moto phone. Updates are Soo slow lately. It's may. And I only have the March security patch. And still waiting on Oreo.
Steven Watson true my dude that why I bought a Nokia 7 plus. That's what I call a good update policy. The Nokia Reddit page announced that all Nokia phones will get Android P
Steven Watson STILL WAITING FOR OREO ON MY Z PLAY
Fuck man. Lol it sucks being impatient. But come on. The problem isn't with only Moto. But Android also. Oreo has been out for a year. And we're just finally getting it. And 0.8 percent. Have it? If I'm right. And Google is just coming up with a solution? With 8.0 and up? Project treble? Couldn't get it before previous versions. Lol I love Android for it's freedoms. But it comes at a price. With updates. But if you're really so impatient. Get a pixel. If you have the extra money. Like that. But if you don't. Welp. I guess you're stuck like you already know. Struggles of a Android user. Its sad to see people behind on updates such as myself. I wonder if it will ever end. Who the hell always wants to take chances flashing recoveries. It's like swapping bios firmware. Dangerous shit. Especially if it were your only device. I just wish Moto would step their game up. I think Lenovo puts out great quality products. But consistently falls short. With updates. Devices rock solid. Updates solid as promised. Just never delivered soon enough. By the time we get Oreo. It will be already old. And Android popsicle. Will be new. It's ridiculous. And no. Lol I don't ever want a Iphone. Idk if anyone else experiences it. But I get a random dnd glitch and comes and goes. One reason why I can't wait for Oreo. Fucking annoying bug. And I don't care to factory reset. It's crazy for the wait. But I think it will be worth it. I hope. Just got the release notes for Oreo 8.1 Moto g5 plus. Excited. Hopefully not much longer guys.
Steven Watson I agree but please do not swear!
I got a 250 dollar Huawei Mate SE and I'm more than pleased. Small bezels, 1080x2160 5.93in IPS display, 4gb ram, 8 core cpu, fingerprint sensor, 64GB internal mem with up to 256GB expandable, 16MP rear camera with 2MP dual cam for wide aperture photos, and a 3340 mAh battery, which the phone sips on. Never had a problem running out of battery in a single day. I'm a power user and I usually fall asleep with 30-40 percent left on the battery. You can also usb, wifi or bluetooth tether without having to purchase the feature from you provider. I am definitely a Huawei fan now!
Where is Xiaomi Mi A1? Best buget phone to date
Edgars Topecs redmi note 5 pro is better
nah , the MIUI is meh...
Using it for month now and yes i like it :)
Ek 01 check out the asus Zenfone max pro m1
Not best budget phone now but a big advantage to some is stock android
And xiaomi users watching this video with a smile on there face
By the way Austin I like your content a lot but give a try to Redmi 5 and make. This video again if possible
redmi is cool
Redmi Note 5 Pro ,Oppo Realme or Asus Zenfone Max M1 Pro Crushes everyone of these under 200$
Yeah the Oppo Realme is crap. Why? Mediatek, Plastic Build, and NO fingerprint scanner.
Kirk Rojo yeah also Umidigi S2 Pro - 64GB Storage, 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 630 Dual 12MP rear cameras and a fingerprint scanner for $200
Nubia M2 4GB 128GB crushes them all
Hakim Jamil Actually the redmi note 5 has better specs at that price point tbh. Snapdragon 636 and 4000mah battery. So no, the nubia M2 does not beat them all.
Iphone 6 from my local pawn shop for $150 CAD, 32gb.
Never updated mine and it runs flawlessly and has been for year now. It's a decent spotify/facebook machine.
You can get honor 7x for $199
What about Xiaomi? They are great budget phones.
Dominik Kužila huaweii too
No but my current one does (honor 7x)😝
Cheak out the Lenovo ZUK Z2 and you'll probably be surprised what you get for about $200
(I was suppriesed with the value it was able to bring)
clash royale....Please never again
Artemiis S. Supercell are trying to save it from impending death
Artemiis S. lol
I got the Samsung Galaxy J7+ in Taiwan and it was around $300 USD, It has got 16MP Dual Cameras, Fingerprint Sensor, Face Recognition, 4 GB of RAM, and is powered by a Octa core, 2.3 GHz, Cortex A53 processor. I have been using it for half a year now, and I think that it is a great budget phone
Try Redmi Note 5/5 Pro
Mithil Bavishi he will not cover it because its not available in North America
Koneshwaran Mithurangan he can import it!
Mithil Bavishi of course if you didn't know American TH-camr don't cover smartphones made for other countries because of the bandwidth they Don't support USA
IPhone SE's sell for $120 on eBay refurbished, Google Pixel Xl goes for $240 on eBay. LG g6 goes for around $200 on eBay and the list goes on. There is no advantage to buying a new $200 phone when year or two old flagship cost the same exact money or even less.
Less than 100 plz, my phone is under 100
Acer liquid zest bois
"This video is sponsored by clash royale"
AHAHAH I DIED OF LAUGHTER LOL NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR THAT ON A TECH CHANNEL...or anywhere else
Why the hell do you always leave Xiaomi
Tanishq bhaiji ikr? What the hell Austin
Xiaomi doesn't pay Evans apperantely
If your even considering a $200 phone, save up an extra $30 and get a hauwei mate SE. Its got an octacore processor at 2+GHz, 4GB ram and 64GB storage. its a beast in performance and very good build quality,. No other phone beats it in this category.
Tony475130 You sure? The Redmi Note 5 Pro is a conparable rival to that. Especially with the Dual Camera and the Snapdragon 636
Clash Royale is old and everyone knows already, and only because their dying they have to sponsor
I got a Samsung Galaxy C7 for 200$. I'm really satisfied with it. It has a 5.7" screen, 4K camera, 4GB ram, fingerprint sensor on the home button, quad core about 2.0GHz and a 1920x1080 display.
Wait!
Clash Royale S P O N S E R E D
Best intro ever.
'This video is sponsored by Clash Royal. Hey guys, this is Austin.'
Hey Guys, This's Exhausting
I'd recommend the Huawei Mate SE or Honor 7x. You might spend slightly over 200 (about 230) for the Mate SE, but those are actually GOOD phones. The Honor 7x has an octacore processor, 32gb internal storage, 3gb ram, 16mp dual lens real camera, and actually feels like a flagship phone. The Mate SE is the same phone, but with double the internal memory and an extra 1gb of RAM. So I'd suggest one of those for a good cheaper phone.
So finally Supercell has started sponsoring TH-camrs! Now that's a sponsor I would love to see growing in the future.
Indian Train Simulator well they have to protect their company from death. Unless they reduce the pay to win ness, I'm sticking to fortnite Mobile. Runs at 60 FPS at equivalent to high settings on PC
Gfjfj Ufidi I agreed with you until the last sentence, maybe if you could interpret on what you mean by "equivalent to high settings on PC" as Fortnite Mobile is very low resolution, even when on a phone's display.
well...depends on what you mean by very low resolution supersmash235. I don't think fortnite will show 480p on a 2k smartphone
Flaze07 Just because a phone can display in 2k doesn't mean it can necessarily game in 2k, I think it would be nice though, maybe in 2025 that'll happen.
Whenever Austin says Nuu G3, I'm always thinking, 'Wait what!! LG made a new G3???'
What with some of the Xiaomi devices?
They are great
Tomer Tal this list sucked he didnt even talk about huaweii and xiaomi
"This video is sponsored by Clash Royale."
*exits the video*
The doogee actually has 1 camera the second one is a dud
Matteo Ramos sadly
Where are all the Redmi phones?
Those phones are no jokes Xiaomi Redmis are godly phones for the best budget thats why they blew up here in India
Where is your OnePlus 6 coverage Austin
Linustechtips just did one and a factory tour. It literally released yesterday and that is likely in limited markets. Plus for the price i'd buy a Samsung galaxy s8. Not the newest but it will have much better support and accesories
Divyam Thakur bro I want my favourite youtuber to make the review
Doug Scholl how does a more than one year old phone have a better support than a new one? The S8 gets one major update and than is tossed into trash for Samsung.
Some Huawei and Xiaomi phones cost around 200 and at least you are getting a phone from known brand, not from random Chinese manufacturers. For example, Huawei P10 Lite or Xiaomi Mi A1. Both have 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, decent processors, acceptable batteries and good cameras. Both cost around 200 euros, meaning they aren't much more in dollars. They are great value phones.
What about the Doogee Mix 2?
I think the 300$ range makes a lot more sense. Like the Nokia 6.1 or Huawei P20 lite. They will probably last longer with more consistent performance.
At the 200$ price point, the corners are cut too much in my opinion.
no xiaomi??? no Asus???
Every other tech youtuber in the world : Oneplus 6
Austin Evans: $200.00 dollar smartphones
Do you have a cold or something?
I have a vkWorld MixPlus, it was £120 and its honestly surprisingly good. Fingerprint sensor, near bezelless (like the doogie), bottom firing speakers as opposed to back firing, large screen. I'd honestly recommend
32gb storage, 3gb ram, (smallish) 2400mA battery. Dual sim too
cpu?
The 2400mah isn't really good, especially if the CPU is a mediatek.
lmao Clash Royale is dead so they tryna get people to play the game by sponsoring.lame
I recently just upgraded to the Blu Vivo XL3 Plus and I'm pretty satisfied. The camera is pretty decent and the selfie flash is very convenient for people who take selfies everywhere they go (I'm looking at you, Mom.) I do agree that the software could use some tweaking but nothing too bad. The thing that made me love it is that this phone is a BEAST when it comes to gaming. The main game I play is KHUx and gameplay was pretty laggy on my old phone but once I started playing on this phone, the gameplay was very smooth and it was very satisfying. This phone is totally worth it. Not to mention this phone can also have 2 SIM cards which is an added bonus. Overall, a good phone to have when you're on budget.
I watched the whole video thinking why am i watching this i have samsung galaxy s9+
The Huawei p10 lite is about £170 to £200 depending where you look.
CPU - HiSilicon Kirin 658 2.36 GHz octacore.
GPU - Mali T830
4GB ram
3,000 mAh battery
Finger print sensor on the back (about 300ms response time)
1920 X 1080p
12mpx rear camera
32gb storage
NFC
Android 7.1 but it will be getting android 8.1 very soon
But can it clash Royale.
Coz that's the only thing I do.
Rajan Gupta same :D
fun fact : no one talks about fly ( phone) which had ace recognization in 2013 and it was super cheap 150$ but it had only 2 gb storage and full gb ram
Redmi Note 5 easy
One thing to consider with the Nokia 2 is that the performance is so low that it's almost impossible and frustrating to try to run apps from the SD card, performance is awful there and also the phone overheats more than usual finishing on apps closing by themselves really fast. I own this phone so what I do to avoid this is that I constantly move the apps from the SD card to the internal memory so they perform well. It's kinda annoying but it's better than waiting 5 min. for an app to load. I think later Nokia 2 models (2.1 and forward) don't have this problem or at least not at this level.
No it doesn't
Ian Blackburn ?
tbl gaming look at the title
Heh mine costs 80
Your right. Mine cost 110$
If he took Redmi 5+ HE WOULD HAVE GONE CRAZY
buy raspberry pi
george_ch05 _ its not an replacement for smart phone dude
george_ch05 _ "buy raspberry pi"
Me: **facepalm**
Buy a used phone!!!!!
Or a cyclone v10
just bought the blu vivo xl3 plus didn't feel like a good purchase decision but this reassured me just a bit thanks austin dope review!!!
IS A 200 DOLLAR AUSTIN EVANS WORTH IT ? Keep in mind it is a clone...
Gigantic Gani7 no man just buy a goddamn Xiaomi
There's so many options in that price range. My recommendations are the mi A2 and Nokia's because that have Android one. 2 years minimum of updates and the latest Android versions.
I already play clash Royale!
VERGE same.
Same what Arena are you in and what ledgendarys do you have???
Where's the Moto E4 Plus? It has a 5000 mAh battery, a 5.5" 720p display, a fingerprint sensor, and a name we know and trust.
I play clash royale
Sebastian Oussoren that game its not dead?
A new BLU XL3 just released with Android Oreo! You should check it out.
Jokes on you, I'm watching this on my Nokia 2.
If it doesn’t have USB Type-C AND Oreo, it ain’t worth buying. For example the Nokia 6 2018 and the Xiaomi Mi A2 are the best options for a little more than $200
Personally... If I were looking for a cheap but powerful smartphone, I would look into getting a used Samsung Galaxy S7.
Still got amazing performance, decent camera, front-mounted fingerprint scanner and is IP68 water and dust Resistance.
Also, as the added bonuses of a 3.5mm headphone jack, wireless charging, MicroSD card slot (Up to 400GB), 4GB RAM, and a 1440p AMOLED display.
Back in my day, a phone with a front facing camera was considered a high-end phone
I just went up £100 and bought a LG G6, would recommend as it is a very nice feeling, fast, good camera phone
I just have a Moto G5PLUS. It has great specs for the price and you can tell that they didn't cheap out too much, only cheaping out on the useless special features (to me anyway) like wireless charging and 1440p screens.
I have a Redmi Note 4, ebay priced at around $170. The only area where is lacks is video recording and the audio within video recordings.
Should have mentioned that the NUU G3 is all glass that IS NOT gorilla glass. Seriously, look up people dropping it once and having a totally broken phone.
It's a nice bit of kit for $200 but God is it fragile, and there aren't many case companies designing for it.
hear doogee's 2nd cams are "fake" and the blur more is actually just like what u get in the instagram app in circular form
Switched from a Galaxy S5 to an Honor 7X and it just works great. the battery life is amazing with the 7X.
Honor 9 lite, honor 7x, Huawei p smart, Xiaomi redmi note 5/ 5 plus Xiaomi mi1 A1 are all solid midrange/budget devices with full HD screens, glass/metal builds good storage etc...when 95% of people don't use a phone to its full processing power why are we all buying flagships that are 3-5 times as much?? For bragging rights? Midrange has come so far in times of performance and build there's really no reason to pay the extra for a flagship anymore imo. Was considering an iPhone but just got the honor 9 lite (less than 200 bucks in UK) and I love it. Glass build, full hd 18:9 screen, fast processor, can run all apps I need etc.
I'm actually about to go out and buy an almost brand new S8 for $200. The front glass is cracked, but the screen still works (I saw a video). Just gonna buy a $30 replacement on Amazon, do it myself, and profit.
The Blu life one x3 is way better then the vivo xl3 for $150. 1080p display and a 5000 mAh battery. Preforms well too.
Also, should have mentioned the the honor 7x. The undisputed best smartphone under $200.
Mi A3,Redmi Note 8 Pro,Honor 8X,UMIDIGI Power 3,Galaxy A51/A70 where are them?
One of the things alot of reviewers don't test or mention is the compatibility...whitch some of these phone really suck at sometimes
Good smartphones are flagship phones from 2013-2014, like the Note 4, G3, S5, and the Iphone 6. They'll still perform good, also costing much less.
Boost Mobile is selling pre-owned Galaxy S7 for less than $200...sure, it's a couple years old...however, it's still a better device than any of these phones. In fact, the S7 single-core geekbench ALMOST keeps up with the Blu Vivo (single core is actually a bit more important than multi-core scores)
"use this phone in the real world tho" am I gonna use the phone in my dreams?
When SuperCell found out their game Is dead
*Austin, I will pay you to play my game in ur videos*
I literally didn't understand there was NUU and BLUU smartphones until the end of the video
I'm surprised you didn't consider the Moto E4 & E4 Plus, both of which are under $200 on Amazon.
Yo Austin, check out the redmi note 5 pro! It costs around 200 dollars, but is pretty frickin great for it's cost.
It's great to see someone review a Blu phone, but I would have done a better phone, like the Life One X 3. For nine bucks more, you get an octacore 1.3 GHz processor and a way bigger battery.
supercell getting hungry for more
