You won’t have to spend a fortune to get your hands on a smartphone today. For as low as $100, you can buy a decent device. The specs to price ratio has been increased to a level that we haven’t seen before.

When we talk about value for money, it is a crime not to include Xiaomi in the discussion. The company put haters of Chinese products into shame by offering loads of specifications at impressive pricing. And, we now have Realme following the same trend.
