Smartphones up to 150 euros in comparison

The prices for smartphones have been shooting through the roof for years. For current top models, more than 1000 euros are quickly spent. But the money is not always so loose. The manufacturers have also realised this and are therefore diligently filling another price category up to 150 euros with a wide range of different models. But how good are the bargain smartphones? The COMPUTER-BILD comparison test of six current models under 150 euros reveals whether buying a low-priced device is worthwhile and where users have to make concessions. Is it true once again that if you buy cheap, you buy twice?
