Best Cheap Samsung Galaxy Phones
This guide shares a list of the best cheap Samsung Galaxy phones, and why you might want one. While everyone prefers the beautiful bezel-free Galaxy S8 or a big Galaxy Note 8, not everyone can afford one. Samsung makes some of the best smartphones but they’re really expensive. Thankfully, there are a few other exciting phones they make that are pretty cheap.
In fact, Samsung makes phones at just about every price point. From ultra-affordable to mid-range phones that cost around $350. Most of these have the same software features, decent cameras, and an experience close to other high-end phones. Even high-end phones from Samsung themselves.

Whether your Galaxy recently broke or you think spending $950 for the Galaxy Note 8 is unrealistic, we have you covered. These are some excellent smartphones from Samsung that won’t break the bank.

With that all said, trying to find the right phone for yourself is a daunting task. To make things easier, our list details some of the best Samsung phones for those on a budget. This post focuses on phones that are brand new, not used or refurbished devices sold at a discount. Without further delay, here we go.

When it comes to finding an affordable smartphone from Samsung the J series is easy to recommend. It's basically a bigger yet more affordable Galaxy S7 but released in 2017. The Galaxy J7 comes in a few different versions. There's a J7 V for Verizon, a J7 Prime, a J7 Perx, and a few other names. This phone is available from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, MetroPCS, BoostMobile, and for markets outside the United States. Samsung also sells a straight up J7 on Samsung.com that's unlocked, and it's the best model of them all.

It's an all-around decent smartphone. Depending on the model you'll get a different processor or screen resolution, but they're all pretty good. As a comparison, last year the Galaxy S7 had a 5.2-inch screen, and this year the Galaxy S8 comes in at 5.8-inches. The Galaxy J7 fits right in the middle, yet costs between $160 and $220 depending on where you buy one. If you love the Samsung Galaxy experience but can't afford the high-end, start here. | ||||||||
