MOTOROLA EDGE X30

In 2022, the Motorola Edge X30 will be the least expensive phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. Surprisingly low for a high-end smartphone, the Edge X30 starts at only $599. It also has the fastest refresh rate of any smartphone on our list, clocking up at 144 frames per second. Furthermore, it has a 6.7-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution.

To keep the price low, Motorola had to give up a few things. Such a gadget, for instance, has a 50MP primary camera with OIS but lacks specialized cameras like a telephoto or microscope lens.

It contains a 5,000 mah battery and supports a 68W rapid charge; however, neither wireless charging nor wireless charging in reverse is supported. But there is a version that employs hidden screen technology. The 60MP front-facing camera has the highest resolution of any of the devices on our list.
