18. Moto G4

The Moto G4 is available in three different models, including the regular $200 G4, the $250 G4 Plus, and the $150 G4 Play.

We reviewed the G4 Plus model, which has a 16-megapixel camera, compared with the 13-megapixel shooter on the regular G4, and found that it's the best cheap smartphone you can buy. The G4 Plus also comes with a fingerprint sensor, while the other models don't.

Price: $130 to $230

17. LG G5

LG's G5 smartphone has nice almost-all-metal design that's hampered by a plastic removable bottom, which lets you swap out a dead battery with a fresh one. It's a thoughtful, if outdated legacy Android phone feature that prevents the G5's whole body from being metallic.

The removable bottom can also be exchanged with "modules" that offer new functions, like a camera grip with a zoom dial and a shutter button for better control. However, only a few modules have been released, and they haven't been a great selling point.

The G5 also has a dual-lens camera, one of which is an ultra-wide angle lens that gives pictures a fish-eye effect. It's cool, but you wouldn't want to capture all your memories with it.

The LG G6 is expected to be released during Mobile World Congress this month, so you might want to wait if you're considering the G5.

Price: $349
