budget phone

Even though big phones are popular, the prices don't always have to be equally large, and the latest from Alcatel aims to keep everything but the screen down in size.

Much of the focus on smartphones is on the flagship, but what if you don't have a lot of money to play around with? Kogan's latest could be for you, as the eTailer takes on Oppo, ZTE, and Motorola.

It's always nice when what was once expensive technology makes its way down to something that, well, isn't, and that's basically what LG is pushing out in the K8.

Motorola has a couple of new smartphones, and it could really bring the competition to other companies vying for a piece of the budget dollar.

A new choice has emerged in the Australian mobile operator scene, and while it competes with the likes of Kogan and Amaysim, Moose Mobile plans to offer more than just low rates.

Six months after Oppo's F1s first arrived, the company has a new model, and while it sports similar features, it manages to undercut the original.

There wasn't just one new phone in Australia this week, as Motorola joined the fray with a few variations on its on-going "G" theme.

The maker of the first Android smartphone and Google's own Pixel has a new phone on the way, and while it won't cost much, it also may not offer much point of difference either.

Biding its time and building great phones for telcos, Alcatel is on-board for budget phones this year, with devices that dazzle in more than price.

A new prepaid from Optus is in pretty much unknown territory, offering a metal and glass mobile for $149. Is this going to be a complete disaster, or will we be absolutely surprised?
