HONOR Magic6 Lite, which went on sale in early 2024, stands out with its quality/price ratio. It has a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor and offers sufficient performance for daily use, although not for very demanding games. Its almost 6.8-inch AMOLED screen stands out with its brightness, fluidity and resolution, while its camera has an accurate main sensor. But the secondary ones are inconspicuous. Its strong point is its autonomy, which can reach up to eight hours of active display thanks to a 5,300 mAh battery and good optimization. For 399 euros it is a strong contender among the best mid-range of the year.

Realme 12 Pro+

This Realme terminal stands out with its vegan leather back and a rather large camera module with angled, wide-angle and telephoto cameras that are not often seen in the mid-range. The camera is its strong point, offering outstanding results in its price range. The screen meets a good overall standard, but there are some occasional bumps in the software that do not significantly affect daily use. With 5,000 mAh, its autonomy reaches approximately five and a half hours of active display. This model, which can be purchased for approximately 350 Euros, is a very interesting option for those who prioritize photography.

Redmi Note 13 Pro+

In these price ranges you have to talk about Xiaomi yes or yes. Your Note 13 Pro+ stands out especially in terms of battery and camera. The main sensor gives good results in most situations, but the ultra-wide-angle and macro sensors need improvement. Autonomy achieves around eight hours of active display, complemented by the 120W charger included in the box. It can currently be purchased on the official website for around 350 euros, making it one of the most interesting options.

Samsung Galaxy A55

Samsung’s A series uses an unchanging formula because, as they say, if something works, don’t touch it. This terminal offers five years of updates, stands out with its screen and offers a battery that promises up to seven hours of screen time, although it can last up to two days with average use. The main camera works correctly, but the secondary sensors hardly stand out. It can be purchased for a price between 350 and 370 euros and is a very good option, especially if we like the Samsung ecosystem.

🥉 SMALL F6

So we reached the bronze medal of the always recommended POCO F6. In summary, one of the best mid-range phones of 2024. Equipped with the powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, the phone offers extraordinary performance. Its screen looks great and has great brightness, while its battery lasts almost two days with heavy use and 90W fast charging (charger included). The camera is fine with this, but this is the main aspect that needs improvement. It currently retails for around 300 euros, making it a very good option for those looking for power without paying more.

🥈 OnePlus North 4

OnePlus’ mid-range took silver at the Xataka NordVPN 2024 Awards, thanks to its sleek design, battery and thickness of just eight millimeters. Since it is a terminal with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage, it does not suffer from power shortage. His independence is good; It offers up to two days of use at rest with very low consumption. Although the camera remains its weak point, it is suitable for everyday photos and videos. It is sold for 399 Euros and is a very tasty option.

🥇 Nothing Phone 2a

This terminal stands out with its design, software and performance, display and autonomy. It is suitable for almost all points. It achieves seven to eight hours of active display with a 5,000 mAh battery, and although the camera is its weakest point, its price of 379 euros and the offers that reduce it to 329 euros make it almost unbeatable in this price range: It is undoubtedly a safe purchase.
