MOTO G

The Motorola Moto G is the cheap smartphone that can beat atleast the 3 phones below this.

At 143g and 11.6mm thick it’s not the slimmest or lightest phone, but it’s but it's still a nice-looking handset for the price. It’s the first time we’ve seen a 720p screen on a phone this cheap and it serves up good, sharp image quality with a Gorilla Glass screen adding a layer of duerability. The Moto G runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and the Snapdragon 400 CPU with 1GB of RAM ensures it handles most everyday tasks like browsing, and playing games well. The 5-megapixel camera delivers decent image quality, while the 720P HD video shooting is  just similar with other similar phones.Whether you go for the 8GB version  or the 16GB version , the Moto G offers far better specs than any other big-name phone you can buy below 15000 and is the cheap smartphone to beat as it stands.The only disadvantage is it has no microSD card slot, though it comes with more storage than most cheap phones to be compared.
