BUYING a new smartphone can be a struggle, especially if one is working on a tight budget.
This is due to the current economic state which has people looking at price tags harder before picking what they want on the shelves.
As a result, Tech It Out recently went online window shopping to help you pick your next smartphone for just under R8 000.
Factors considered include battery life, memory, camera, display, processor and cost.
Here are the three best smartphones you can put on your bucket list in 2023:
