Nokia 3: The one for when every penny counts

Price: £120 or AU$249 (not officially available in the US, but we’ve seen it for $219 online)

Processing power is the sacrifice you’re making here; the Nokia 3’s 1.3GHz quad-core processor makes it sluggish to use and demanding games are not going to work well. It doesn’t have a great camera, either, but it’s unquestionably affordable. On the outside, its lovely metal body makes it comfortable to hold and makes the Nokia 3 look like a more premium device.
