Depending on the brand, model, and specs that you are after, buying a new smartphone can blow a rather huge hole in your wallet.
It can also be easier said than done picking which brand and model you want to go for. Higher quality smartphones may have better (or even the best) specs out there, but it usually also means that the price you have to pay for will most likely make you wince.
If you go the exact opposite and go for the cheapest options, you most likely will also have to sacrifice certain specs you might want to have and even quality.
It is probably why there are people who opt to go for the best of both worlds by going for mid-range phones. Mid-range phones usually have good specs without hurting your bank account way too much.
Here's a look at two mid-range phones, the Poco F3 GT and the OnePlus Nord 2 5G.
