Reviewing the best mid-range Android smartphones as we hit 2024, boasting my favourite camera tech, top gaming performance and excellent specs to rival flagship phones. For a budget of around £300-£600 in the UK you can grab the Pixel 7a, Samsung's Galaxy A54 5G, the Xiaomi 13T and other mid-range marvels. If you can't afford the absolute best, here's the top options for a cheaper asking price.

If you're after an even cheaper handset, check out my reviews and round-ups of the greatest Android smartphones under £300 and £200.

Manufacturers like Google, Nothing, Samsung, Xiaomi and Realme all offer a selection of compelling smartphones at a mid-range asking price. The Pixel 7a is still the best around for camera performance but rivals like the OnePlus Nord 3 and Samsung's Galaxy A54 5G aren't far behind. The Nothing Phone 1 & 2 offer unique features like that Glyph lighting, plus premium bits such as wireless charging.

Meanwhile the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is a bit of a mouthful but also a great mid-range smartphone, boasting impressive specs for a budget-friendly cost. That one should be launching globally soon. Don't sleep on the brilliant Xiaomi 13T for a bit more cash, while that Poco F5 Pro is one of my favourite mid-range phones for gaming.

So many to consider, so which is your personal favourite mid-range mobile?
