There are so many great phones on the market that it can be easy to think you have to spend upwards of $1,000 to get one, but that isn't necessarily the case. The world of the budget phone is ripe with options that cost less than a third of that, including the Samsung Galaxy A25. It's a phone that would normally sell for just $300, but right now Amazon has taken $50 off, dropping the price to just $250.
Our Samsung Galaxy A25 5G review highlighted its capabilities including solid performance, impressive stereo speakers for music listening and even the potential for it to last for longer than other phones around its price. If you thought a budget-friendly phone would need to be replaced after a year or so, think again.

That display is backed up by a Samsung Exynos 1280 chip and 6GB of RAM while the 128GB of storage should be plenty for most people -- and there's a microSD card slot for those who need extra as well.
