What are the best deals on cheap smartphones during Black Friday Week? (less than €500)

Despite Black Friday Week, some smartphones continue to display prices that represent quite an investment. Not everyone can put 800, 900, or even more than 1,000 euros into a smartphone. It is for this reason that we dedicate this guide to inexpensive smartphones, those that cost less than 500 euros during this period.

The best offers on smartphones under 500 euros from Black Friday Week

If this selection does not suit you, you can always take a look at our different smartphone buying guides. For a model capable of immortalizing your memories, we have a guide to the best photophones of the moment. For a balanced smartphone without breaking the bank, there is this guide on the best smartphones under 500 euros.

Honor 200 Pro

A decent smartphone, but which struggles to stand out from the competition despite the good performance of its Snapdragon chip and the Harcourt mode which adds a slight added value. We like it but for 800 euros, you can get better. But during Black Friday Week, the Honor 200 Pro displays more than 300 euros off, which makes its value for money much more interesting.

• Convincing Harcourt portrait mode

Instead of 799.90 euros, the Honor 200 Pro is now available on sale for 469.90 euros on Amazon.

Ditto for the Honor 200 Lite (256 GB), also on sale on Amazon. Instead of 299.90 euros, it is available at 199.90 euros.

Samsung Galaxy S23 FE

This Fan Edition version of the Samsung phone offers excellent value for money. The discount from which the model benefits is also a big strong point, especially in view of the services highlighted. The screen is of very good quality as is the general use.

Samsung Galaxy A55

Flagship of Samsung's mid-range while waiting for the Galaxy A56, the Samsung Galaxy A55 further reduces the gap between the Galaxy A and the Galaxy S. A safe value, especially if you are looking for a good smartphone for less than 500 euros. It's currently worth less than 300.

Nothing Phone (2a) Plus

The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus is an improved version of the Nothing Phone (2a) with a clear performance gain, but at the expense of battery life. The Nothing OS interface is still just as pleasant with its large array of widgets, as is the design with the Glyph system on the back. If you don't yet know Nothing smartphones, it involves LED lighting around the photo module serving as lighting but also as an additional interface.

The strengths of the Nothing Phone (2a) Plus

• Atypical design and the Glyph
• Increased performance with its Dimensity 7350 Pro
• Nothing OS, still great with its widgets

Sony Xperia 10 VI

Yes, Sony also offers Xperias in the mid-range segment, less well finished than its big brothers, of course, but the fact remains that this Sony Xperia 10 VI is very pleasant in the hand and offers respectable performance for this price. It's far from being a standard of beauty and it also has its few faults, but for less than 300 euros during Black Friday Week, there's no need to be choosy.

The strong points of the Sony Xperia 10 VI

• A well-finished smartphone in 21:9 format
• A perfectly calibrated panel
