What is it? Samsung Galaxy J3

How much? $249 Pros: Truth be told, if you want a really budget Android, there's a large range of options even cheaper than this, but the J3 offers a strong entry-level candidate from a major brand. For your money, you'll grab a quadcore 1.2GHz CPU, a 5-inch Super AMOLED 1280 x 720 display, an 8MP camera and 8GB storage. Decent stuff.

Cons: Don't expect Galaxy S8 ($1199) performance, but the performance-for-price ratio is in your favour. samsung.com/au
