AnTuTu has released a chart of the top Value-for-money smartphones that sold in the Chinese market in the month of April 2019. The ranking categorized into two different price ranges; those priced between 1000~1999 yuan ($147-$294) and models with price ranging from 2000~3000 yuan ($294-$442).
In the 1000~1999 yuan ($147-$294) price category, the Meizu X8 4GB+64GB version emerged as the most cost-effective phone, more than half-a-year after it was launched in China. The Snapdragon 710-powered Meizu X8 is presently selling for 1,198 yuan ($176) on JD.com. For a premium mid-range model, the price sure gives buyers value for their money. Surprisingly, the phone is not even too popular among buyers. That notwithstanding, the X8 pipped other popular models such as the Meizu Note 9, Mi 8 SE to clinch the title.

In the price range of 2000~3000 yuan ($294-$442), the most cost-effective mobile phone is the ZTE Axon 9 6GB+64GB version, another device that isn’t too popular. The flagship Axon 9 packs a Snapdragon 845 chipset and the 6GB+64GB version is currently sold at 2098 yuan ($309) in China. The phone also features a 6.21-inch AMOLED full screen, HDR10 display, a built-in 4000mAh battery, a rear dual camera setup with support for 130 ° ultra wide-angle camera, and has ultra-linear dual speakers. That should be an amazing buy for just $309. Unfortunately, you won’t get the phone for that amount anywhere outside China. Other great value-for-money phones include the Meizu 16th (6GB+64GB version), Xiaomi Mi 8 (6GB+128GB), Lenovo Z5 Pro GT (6GB+128GB), Smartisan R1 (6GB+128GB), Mi 9 (6GB+128GB), Mi Mix 2s (6GB+128GB) etc.
