Forget everything in the mid-range; this is what you should be buying.

The hardware stacks up well.

There’s even support for 32-bit/192kHz audio.

This camera is pretty good by today’s standards.

Wecan’t stress enough how great valueand powerhouse the V20 is at $320.

Seriously, LG’s flagship from a year and a half ago is selling at entry-level phone levels.

That’s utterly ridiculous.

This pricing anomaly certainly comes down to the G5’spoor reception at launchand its unimpressive modular system.

It’s a no brainer.

The specification sheet stands up favourably, and the Mi Note 2 even comes with a beautiful AMOLED screen.

Sony has a habit of overpricing, which usually trickles down to overpriced last-gen models.

But not this time, as the solid Xperia XZ is available foraround $320 on Amazon.

Second, it has a huge 23-megapixel rear camera capable of highly detailed photos.

You’ll also get better battery life than the LG G5.

But perhaps most importantly, Sony has pledged to continue supporting this handset.

It’s still awesome to see such a great range of hardware hitting a $200 price point.

The phone has USB-C, Cat.12 LTE support, 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM.

Even Dolby Atmos audio “enhancement.”

There is no microSD card slot and no headphone jack.

It’s the gap between those prices where the best deals can be found.
