This should help you decide on the phone you want at this price tag but we recommend the Xiaomi Poco X3 which is just unmatchable at this price. You can even get discounts and combo offers if you buy it at Daraz or the official Mi store. Keep in mind this review is only based on specifications only. Samsung Galaxy M31 is a special mention here for the Samsung fans. You can check it out here.
