12 Best Affordable Smartphones With 4GB RAM Under $120

Introduction

Considering the speed at which the smartphone industry is going, I hope this article won’t become obsolete soon. Anyway, in the article, I’ll be showing you 12 Best Affordable Smartphones With 4GB RAM Under $120.

Remember sometimes back, about 8 years ago when the first Samsung I9000 Galaxy S was announced? The device had just 512MB of RAM and only 1500mAh battery. But the price was in hundreds of Dollars. Well, that time is long passed. Today, OEMs no longer announce smartphones with 512MB of RAM anymore, even 1GB RAM is becoming the thing of the past. Reason for this being that the size of virtually every thing is on the increase; app size have increased, game size have increased and so is audios and videos clips.

About 3 years ago, a smartphone with 4GB of RAM was not feasible, and even if there were, the prices will be above a thousand Dollars, but in this article, we will be talking about 12 Best Affordable Smartphones With 4GB RAM that you can buy below $120 and their specifics and features.
