What to look for in a cell phone under $200

1. Performance and Storage

Look for a phone with a capable processor and at least 3GB of RAM for smoother multitasking. Storage is also important—aim for at least 32GB of internal storage, or ensure the device supports expandable microSD cards.

2. Display Quality

A clear and bright screen makes all the difference for everyday use. Consider phones with HD or Full HD displays, especially if you watch videos or browse photos frequently.

3. Battery Life

Choose a phone with long battery life so you can stay connected throughout the day. Look for devices with at least a 3000mAh battery capacity, and check user reviews for real-world performance.

4. Camera Features

Affordable phones now offer impressive camera capabilities. Check the megapixel count and see if features like night mode or portrait mode are available to capture better photos on a budget.
