Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024 (www.gizchina.com)

While flagship smartphones boast impressive features, spending $1,000 is not a prerequisite for a satisfying Android experience nowadays. If you’re in need of a new smartphone and have a budget of approximately $200, there are numerous excellent options available. Surprisingly, some of the best Android phones under $200 come equipped with features like 5,000mAh batteries, multi-lens camera setups, and the promise of extended software updates.

We thoroughly evaluate various Android phones to ensure optimal performance without encountering unexpected issues down the line. If we were to recommend one Android smartphone in the sub-$200 price range, it would be the latest addition to Samsung’s lineup, the Galaxy A15 5G. Boasting a 6.5-inch Super AMOLED screen, a sizable battery with 25W fast charging support, and more, it offers a compelling package. Alternatively, consider Motorola’s Moto G Play (2024) for a straightforward yet functional device.

"Relatively new" is 8 years ago to you? If you have to make sure your phone is encrypted then it's either currently running or shipped with android 5.1.1 or lower (per your link) so yeah I don't think this is a real concern and I do not understand why people (apparently knowingly in your case) spread misinformation about BL unlocking.
