Yesterday we showed you the top 7 best flagship smartphones of November 2019. But not everyone can afford a flagship and not everyone really needs it. That is why we usually publish an article about the best value for money smartphones of the month as well. This ranking contains only smartphones released in the last period as it does not make sense for us to publish a new article every month with old devices. If you do not like the handsets in this ranking and you want to know other valid affordable devices, read our previous article published last month.
Top 7 best value for money Android smartphones
Realme X2 and X2 Pro
In just a few months, Realme faced a huge growth thanks to the high quality-price ratio of its devices. And when it comes to value for money, we recommend its most powerful devices: the upper-midrange Realme X2 and the flagship killer Realme X2 Pro. They are fueled by the Snapdragon 730G and the Snapdragon 855+ chipsets respectively, and they carry incredibly affordable price tags. The former starts from just €299 in the global market, while the latter starts from €399 and it is the most affordable flagship with Snapdragon 855+ sold globally. Both have a Super AMOLED display with the Realme X2 Pro supporting even the HDR10+ standard and a high 90 Hz refresh rate. And both come with a 64 MP quad camera on their rear side. The Realme X2 Pro even supports a very fast 50W charging technology reaching 100 percent in just 35 minutes.

Redmi Note 8 and 8 Pro
The Redmi Note 8 line-up is another series of very high value for money smartphones. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is one of the most performing devices sold for less than €250 globally thanks to its Helio G90T chipset boasting similar performances to the Snapdragon 730G (even better, according to benchmarks, but a higher energy consumption). The Redmi Note 8 Pro is also a 64 MP quad camera phone and it sports a huge 4500 mAh battery. Redmi Note 8 is an affordable variant sold for less than €200 and fueled by the Snapdragon 665 chipset. It boasts a 48 MP quad camera and a 4000 mAh battery.

Oppo Reno2
If you need an amazing camera phone but you have a limited budget, then you should go for the Oppo Reno2. On its rear side, it sports a quad camera setup including a bright 48 MP sensor with an f/1.7 focal aperture and optical stabilization. The Oppo Reno2 also comes with a premium design with a glass back, an aluminum frame and a notch-less display, thanks to a shark fin pop-up selfie camera including a soft LED flash. Oppo Reno 2 is equipped with a long-lasting 4000 mAh battery and a wide 6.5-inch AMOLED display. Its price starts from €499 globally, but you can pay it fewer thanks to street prices and a lot of promotions running in this period.

OnePlus 7T
OnePlus 7T is a complete flagship sold at a not so high price. It offers an amazing hardware department composed of a Snapdragon 855+ chipset, 8 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 native storage. OnePlus 7T sports an awesome AMOLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, full DCI P3 coverage and HDR10+, as well as a wide 6.65-inch diagonal. Besides being a perfect multimedia and productivity device it is also a pretty good camera phone with its triple camera including a 48 MP f/1.6 lens, OIS and 2x optical zoom. Its 3800 mAh battery is not among the biggest ones, but it lasts, thanks to great software optimization.

Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro
Xiaomi recently unveiled its latest affordable flagship: Mi 9 Pro, accompanied by a 5G variant. Both are affordable flagships, but obviously the 5G version costs more. Do not confuse it with the Mi 9T Pro as we are talking about very different devices. This one is powered by the Snapdragon 855+ chipset and it supports both fast wireless charging (whopping 30W) and reverse wireless charging, while Mi 9T Pro has the Snapdragon 855 and not any kind of wireless charging. Unfortunately, the camera department does not differ so much at camera quality compared to the Mi 9T Pro also known as the Redmi K20 Pro. It lacks OIS and a depth sensor, as well as a pop-up front camera.

Samsung Galaxy M30s
Samsung Galaxy M30s is what we call a battery phone. With its huge 6000 mAh battery, it can last two days even with intensive usage. But the battery is not its only advantage: it even boasts pretty nice performance if we consider its price, thanks to the Exynos 9611 chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM. The camera is not the best of its niche, but it includes an ultrawide sensor. There is also a bright Super AMOLED Full HD+ display.

Huawei Mate 30
Last but not least, a flagship: the Huawei Mate 30 is the affordable variant of the Mate 30 series, but it still does not have weak points. Its display is simply amazing with its wide 6.62-inch diagonal and HDR10, as well as its Kirin 990 paired with 8 GB RAM and UFS 3.0 storage. It even boasts an astonishing 40 MP triple camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS, as well as a huge 4200 mAh battery with fast wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
