Best Android Phones Under $500

Samsung Galaxy S8+

Just hear me out. I know the Galaxy S8 is nearly two years old and the Galaxy S10 is a thing, but the Samsung Galaxy S8 is still an absolutely excellent phone worth buying. 

In fact, many would argue getting a Galaxy S8 is better than something like the Nokia 7.1 because a 2-year old flagship device is still better than a brand new mid-range phone. 

Samsung's Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ are available just about everywhere for under $500. You could even trade in your old phone at Samsung.com and probably get the Galaxy S9 for under $500. Seriously. 

With the Galaxy S8+ you're getting a beautiful curved 6.2-inch Quad-HD display, a powerful Snapdragon 835 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, and what's still one of the best single rear cameras on any phone. The Galaxy S8 has a 3.5mm headphone jack, micro-SD storage expansion, water-resistance, wireless charging, a premium design, and works on any and all carriers in the US. 

It's still a great phone. We've even seen the Galaxy S8+ for $299 at MetroPCS. 

Buy the Galaxy S8 from Samsung for $399 or an unlocked Galaxy S8 for $499
