SeekerPoco X5 5G
The Poco X5 5G is far from the best phone on the market, but it’s also far lower than flagship phones in price. There’s almost no way to get a phone that checks all the boxes for only a little over $200, but the X5 checks a lot of the right ones. It runs smooth enough, long enough. It feels good in the hand. And what it may lack in camera quality it more than makes up for in display quality. Where most $200 phones may serve best for the basics, the Poco X5 5G is ready to go beyond.

The budget-friendly Poco X5 5G offers a flagship-grade display and a great design, though performance and camera prowess leaves much to be desired.
