If you’re a savvy shopper looking for your next handheld communication device-cum-camera-cum-internet source on the go, you’re probably looking to the good mid range phones rather than the top of the line or flagship phones. A lot of the extra money you pay is for slicker packaging, marketing and specs more suitable for heavy gamers. For regular use, some of these phones are a great and affordable option:
