Moto G20

Motorola has several devices in this segment. As far as we are concerned, the most interesting is the Moto G20. We have previously discussed this extensively in the Moto G20 review. This stylish smartphone has everything you need on board. It is a device with a long battery life, a great camera and excellent value for money. A point of attention is that the maximum brightness of the screen is somewhat low if you want to use it in the (full) sun and that you will not receive a further Android update; only security updates. Otherwise an excellent device.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S

Another interesting smartphone in this price segment is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S. This smartphone is also fully equipped, and that for a price of around 200 euros. There is a 6.43-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED screen, so you are assured of good image quality. There is also 128GB of storage space, a quad camera with 64 megapixel main lens and there is a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset. There is also the 5000 mAh battery with 33W fast charging.

Nokia G20

Another G20 comes from Nokia, the Nokia G20. We discussed this device in the Nokia G20 review and it is characterized by an excellent update policy. You can expect Android updates for a period of two years; for a period of three years security updates. The device has a long battery life thanks to the 5050 mAh battery and offers a 6.5-inch screen. The camera of the device performs well. The maximum brightness is a bit on the low side; something we often see in this price range.

Samsung Galaxy A12

In the category ‘Best smartphone up to 200 euros’, Samsung has the Samsung Galaxy A12 in its portfolio. There is a 6.5-inch HD+ screen, an octa-core processor and a large 5000 mAh battery. You are assured of three years of security updates and there are no major drawbacks. About Android you have the One UI interface; it can take a lot of getting used to for those who don’t come from a Samsung.

Motorola Moto G 5G

The Motorola Moto G 5G is also priced in the class up to 200 euros. This smartphone is equipped with a 6.7-inch Full-HD+ resolution and, as the name suggests, this device has 5G on board. Although 5G does not have that much added value at the moment, it could be interesting for the future. Although it is a pity that the update policy for this device is less adequate. The device, which was released at the end of 2020, is equipped with a triple camera, hefty 5000 mAh battery and Snapdragon 750G chipset.

Oppo A53

Last year there was the Oppo A53. This smartphone can be interesting if you want to get the most out of the interface; because ColorOS, which sits on top of Android, gives you a lot of personalization options. The Oppo A53 is equipped with 64GB. For a few tens more you have the A53s with 128GB. Other than that, there are no differences. There is a 6.5 inch HD+ screen, triple camera with 13MP main sensor, Snapdragon 460 and 5000 mAh battery. Nothing is known about the update policy specifically for the A53(s).
