The sub-$600 Android phone category has plenty of reasonably good options. If you asked me a month ago to pick one, I would have probably suggested the OnePlus 15R for its top-tier gaming chops or the Pixel 10a for its handy feel and the unadulterated Android experience with Pixel-exclusive perks. I’d even point the more adventurous souls to the Nothing Phone 4a Pro.
More recently, however, another more promising candidate has crept onto my list: the Samsung Galaxy A57.
