4. Huawei P8 Lite: $185
Our next best cheap Android phone, the P8 Lite comes from Huwawei. That’s a popular Chinese phone maker that’s quickly gaining a solid reputation in the US. The company earned its chops after partnering with Google to produce the popular Nexus 6P.
The P8 Lite doesn’t have the crisp screen of our first two offerings. Most of its other specs are solid, with a fairly fast processor, plenty of storage and memory and a 13 megapixel front and rear camera. Those features make this a sensible addition to any list of the cheapest Android phones.
Tech specs: 5-inch 720p HD display, Snapdragon 615 processor with 16GB storage and 2GB RAM, 13 MP main camera, 2,200 mAh battery OS Android Lollipop/Marshmallow.
