The Best 4G Smartphones In Your Budget

Most of their subscribers, through necessity, were only using 2G and 3G services, however, the people and governments are demanding, and are rapidly receiving 4G coverage and the devices that will sell, must be capable of 4G reception. When buying a new smartphone you might assume that it comes with all the latest technology and the ability to connect to any mobile network you choose.

BlackBerry Q5

BlackBerry's Q5 is still available and a lot cheaper compared to when it was launched last year. BlackBerry 10 OS and a physical keyboard are the main features if you don't want Android or Windows Phone. Other features include NFC and a 3.1in IPS display.

Motorola Moto G 4G

The original version of the Moto G was, and still is, the best budget smartphone around. However it didn't come with 4G support - Motorola said it was too expensive to add it. The firm has now launched a new version with LTE connectivity built-in (and a microSD card slot). That has pushed the price up so it's not the cheapest around but a great option.

Nokia Lumia 635

Nokia has been making decent budget smartphones for a while but 4G was an obvious sacrifice to achieve the low price - namely the popular Lumia 520. Its latest handsets come with Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia 635 is identical to the Lumia 630 but has that all-important 4G support.

HTC One SV

The HTC One SV is a mid-range Android phone that has a comfortable design, 4G capabilities and reasonably good battery life. However, the low resolution screen and mediocre camera make it overpriced.

Sony Xperia SP

Sony's Xperia smartphones under £150 don't come with 4G so you'll have to comparatively splash out on the Xperia SP to gain the feature. If you want a more up to date model, take a look at the Xperia M2. It's got a 4.6in screen, 8Mp camera and a Snapdragon S4 processor.
