How much do you want to spend ? What features do you need/want ? Do you want new or used ? Do you want a flip or a smart phone ? Do you prefer iPhones or Android ? Which cellular carrier ? What state or country do you live in ? Do you know if 5G has been deployed locally ?

Your question is too vague to get any helpful suggestions.

Looking For A 4G Android Compact Smartphone

I prefer a New 4G Android smartphone in India. I don’t prefer a flip smartphone. I am not a hardcore user of a smartphone. I am not looking at any specific feature. My budget is $350.

A really cheap handset that offers a sturdy mediatek chipset.

Just say no to MediaTek. -> SPYWARE!!

Guess some like having more spyware on their phones?

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G: A cheat sheet

But for me it wouldn’t be my choice as it’s bound to be a few year device then you shop again.

Few of us are in your area.

Try this. Take note of what you can buy that look like candidates and then share your short list here. If a person takes care of their phones I see nothing wrong with Samsung, Motorola, Google Pixels and so on. In fact I have had a refurb Pixel 3 which isn’t as big as some phones yet it has 4G, plenty for me storage and when I change it, it looks like I’ll get the Pixel 5a.

The refurb’d Pixel 3 was well under 200USD. Probably because it’s not a big screen phone.

Sorry no.

Why? For your price and specs you are likely to be look at that 4a as well as I don’t know what is in your country (here, in the USA we have many choices.)

Look at the 4a both new and refurb to hit your price point.

Lots of options

For around $350 in India, you can have lots of good devices with the same Mediatek processor and have really good performance.

How about Samsung?

Samsung has been offering really good devices these days. The latest ones like galaxy F42 5G with Dimensity 700 processor look really interesting.

And then… Samsung schenanigans.

Why? (some BS reason.)

If in budget

This is good but if the buyer needs budget devices, some Infinix smartphones also look good.
