Now for the second phone on this list, the Poco. Even if the M5 is superior, the Poco C55—which is more suitable for those on a tighter budget—is one of the most reasonably priced phones available, sporting 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. A separate MicroSD slot in addition to the dual SIM card slots is another feature that consumers might find helpful, since it allows them to retain both of those features.

It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor and 128GB of inbuilt storage that can be increased with a microSD card.

Its 6GB RAM and 128GB storage model are now available inside this price range.
