Yes, the new Samsung Galaxy S23 looks good, but it starts at $799. This sale is big news. The best cheap phone on the market just crashed to its lowest price ever, and there are more deals on the best phones to be found too.

Need more help choosing? Well, we have dedicated reviews for the Google Pixel 6a, the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7 Pro.
The Google Pixel 6a is our #1 pick for the best cheap phone. This is due to its excellent display, cameras, and performance. It's the best value you can get out of a phone less than $500 — and now you can get all that value for under $300. However, the biggest downside is the battery life. We got 6 hours, 29 minutes out of our unit, so you might need to carry a charger with you if you use your phone a lot.
If you want even better cameras and performance, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is the phone for you. The Google Pixel 7 Pro has some of the best cameras of any Android phone we've tested, and there are lots of extremely useful photo editing features too. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel 7 is also a very competent phone, mostly sacrificing the Pixel 7 Pro's telephoto lens.
These aren't the cheapest prices we've seen for the Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro, but they're pretty close to their respective all-time low prices of $474 and $719. The Google Pixel 6a is at its lowest price ever.
