Why little older Redmi 9 is in the top? What's the problem with Poco M2? Which has Similar Config with 2 gig extra ram and only 1000 INR difference!

I so disagree with MOST of this list lol. Is this a sponsored ads? Basically I'd mostly just agree with the GalaxyS FE which is.. not entry level but good value.

Bought a Nokia 4.2. For the price-

Display- Good
Design and build- VERY GOOD
Performance- good, judging the specifications.
Battery life- Ok
Main Camera- Bad, especially under low light.
Charging- Slow as it doesn't have fast charging.
Bonus features- NFC, regular updates (guranteed to get updates until atleast mid 2021).

Hey GSMArena, how come your "Best Entry-level Smartphones Buyers Guide" is dated November 2020 when this is in fact an article of late 2019?

I'm sure you forgot to provide a disclaimer to the effect that this is in fact an update to the previous article.
Thanks and kudos for the good job though I'd prefer you do regular reviews of phones from other brands than the everyday Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Sony, LG, Huawei and HMDs of this world.

Lol, the Samsung phones on your list is much more expensive than Xiaomi ones. If the criteria is < $250, then Redmi Note 8/8T/8 Pro should be on the list.
