As we do every year around this time, the time has come to start compiling the best mobiles that 2021 is leaving us. To do this, we are going to divide the current catalog into different ranges depending on a set price range. Here, we are going to stop at the entry range, or what is the same, the terminals that occupy the lowest step -by price and benefits- of the portfolio of each manufacturer.

For the selection of models, we have taken into account two factors: on the one hand, that they have reached the market so far in 2021 or, at most, in the last months of 2020, and on the other, that they have a Official maximum price of 200 euros. The order of the marks is strictly alphabetical. As more terminals come out, we will update the article, so if you miss any candidate, do not hesitate to leave it to us in the comments.
