Even just a few years ago, the cheapest smartphones were barely functioning devices. Since I live in one of the more developing areas of the world, the cheapest devices cost less than $100 after getting some serious taxes. Mid rangers used to be where you got the best bang per buck. This is certainly not the reality in 2025. There are phones with 120 Hz screens with near 2 day battery with enough RAM to multitask with browser, messenger, camera (not the best) without an issue. Such a device can be purchased for around $120.
