With top-tier phones like the Galaxy S20 Ultra and iPhone 11 Pro Max starting at more than $1,000, it's easy to feel that great phones are getting more expensive and out of your budget. But as some phones are getting pricier, budget phones are getting more advanced and packing premium features of their own. There are lots of affordable devices that are fast, take great photos and offer modern-day software features that won't break the bank. While many of our picks for the best phone under $500 came out in the past several months, some handsets in this roundup launched before that, in 2018. That doesn't mean they're obsolete -- most of them still have high-end processors and a good camera that you can get for way less than when they first launched.
Note that we've linked to the unlocked version of each phone, and they should run on most of the big four US wireless carriers (unless specified otherwise).

Though it debuted in 2017, the iPhone 8 is still a solid phone, and it's the cheapest iPhone that you can still buy from Apple for new. The phone packs in plenty of great features like water resistance, wireless charging, a more durable solid-state home button and still really good cameras. Read our Apple iPhone 8 review.
The Galaxy A50 is part of Samsung's A-series, which is much cheaper than the top-tier S-series of phones. At around $300, this budget smartphone is one of your cheapest Galaxy smartphone options and features 6.4 inches of display, an in-screen fingerprint reader and a headphone jack. On the back are three cameras that include a wide-angle lens as well as a "depth lens," which is used to take portrait shots with blurry, dramatic backgrounds. Read our Samsung Galaxy A50 review.

The Moto Z4 launched in May 2019 without much fanfare, despite the fact that it's one of the few phones that can connect to 5G. It works with a Moto Mod modular accessory, which attaches to the back of the smartphone using magnetic pins. The phone is $400 and the Mod costs extra, but even with the additional costs, the Z4 is one of the cheapest 5G phones available now. Read our Motorola Moto Z4 review.

LG is selling its premium LG G8 with Alexa for $500 -- a big discount from its original $850 launch price. As one of the last few high-end phones with a headphone jack, the G8 stands out as a rarity. But the device also has a bright, sharp screen, a second wide-angle rear camera, a fast processor and water resistance. Read our LG G8 ThinQ review.
The Pixel 3A XL has everything you like about the Pixel 3A (which is also on this list), but in a larger package. Sporting a 6-inch OLED display compared to the Pixel 3A's 5.6-inch screen, the bigger counterpart also features a larger 3,700-mAh battery. Read our Google Pixel 3A XL review.

Motorola Moto G7 Play
The often discounted Moto G7 Play is one of our favorite affordable Android phones. Like the pricier Moto G7 (which we'll get to later), it has a Snapdragon 632 processor and a water-repellent coating. But the G7 Play features a smaller 5.7-inch display and a single 13-megapixel camera. For those who like to take a lot of selfies, on the front of the phone you'll find a selfie camera flash to brighten up all those memorable moments. Read more about the Moto G7 Play.

The Pixel 3A shaves a few features off of 2018's Pixel 3: It's not water resistant, doesn't have wireless charging, and it maxes out at 64GB of storage. But it costs $399, adds a headphone jack and keeps the same amazing Night Sight camera that can shoot great photos in the dark. (Daytime photos and video recording look amazing, too.) The device is compatible with all the major US phone carriers as well. Read our Google Pixel 3A review.

It's been three years since its launch but the Galaxy S8 is still a phone worthy of consideration. It's water resistant, has wireless charging, expandable storage and a headphone jack. Plus, its curved OLED display screen lends the phone a modern-day look that still endures. Read our Samsung Galaxy S8 review.
The Moto G7 may not be as cheap as its G7 Play counterpart, but at $300, it's still a good deal. Though its single speaker doesn't offer the greatest sound, and it takes mediocre low-light photos and video, the Moto G7 has dual rear cameras, an enduring battery life and a sleek design. It also charges quickly, which is useful when you need to juice up while on the go. Read our Motorola Moto G7 review.
