Do you have 3,000 zlotys to spend and want to buy the best smartphone? In this list you will find the best cheap flagships and strong mediums with a good camera that you can buy for less than PLN 3,000 in July 2021.
In 2021, the prices of the flagships may not have jumped up significantly, but they are still very high and now you have to spend well over PLN 4,000. This does not mean, however, that for less than PLN 3,000 you cannot buy a good smartphone – often even a flagship. In this list you will find Top 10 models for less than PLN 3,000which in my opinion is worth buying in July 2021.
We tested most of them in gsmManiaKa. If we have a smartphone review, you will find a link to it below. Do you need a smartphone at a lower price? At the end of the list, you will find our other TOP-10s that will allow you to choose the perfect phone in your budget.
OnePlus 8 Pro
We start with a strong blow. OnePlus 8 Pro it is still one of the most beautiful smartphones on the market. The edge-to-edge screen effect was achieved by moving the camera to a tray sliding out from the top of the housing. The display itself is phenomenal. The Fluid AMOLED matrix with QHD + resolution and support for 120 Hz refresh makes an amazing impression.
Currently you can buy it for just over PLN 3,000, but sometimes you can shoot less than PLN 3,000 in promotions. Despite the premiere, the successor is still an excellent smartphone and therefore opens our list.

The smartphone also has computing power. Snapdragon 865 and even 12 GB RAM (the version with 8 GB of operating memory is a bit cheaper and in my opinion it is not worth paying extra) is a reserve of performance for years. This particular model can be considered as hardware for several months, because the manufacturer cares about software updates, and OxygenOS is, according to many, the best version of Android on the market.

ASUS Zenfone 8
While OnePlus 8 Pro was one of the prettiest smartphones of 2020, yes ASUS Zenfone 8 is by far the only choice for one-handed Android fans. But don’t let the small dimensions fool you – it’s a mighty beast with Snapdragon 888 and up to 16 GB of RAM. Prices start from PLN 2,999but it will probably be a regular visitor to the promotion soon.

Is ASUS Zenfone 8 missing something compared to this year’s flagships? The only thing that comes to my mind is the lack of additional lenses on the rear panel, because the rest is absolutely top. The lack of a telephoto lens can be overcome somehow, because the main lens is optically stabilized. Thanks to the resignation from the rotating camera, it became waterproof.
Then we have the perfect little smartphone? Not really, because due to the cosmic efficiency in the compact housing, Zenfone 8 is a very “hot commodity”. If it bothers you on your phone, unfortunately I cannot recommend it. Everyone else, however, will be delighted.
Realme GT 5G
Time for something for fans of ruthless performance. Realme GT 5G has everything we can expect from an inexpensive Chinese flagship. The performance is provided by Snapdragon 865, which is currently the most powerful mobile system on the market. For less than PLN 2,200 you will buy the version with 8 GB RAM, and for the more demanding (and willing to issue of PLN 2,500) there is a variant with 12 GB of RAM. However, it is worth hunting for promotions – these have not been difficult to find recently.

The impression of smooth operation in all conditions is only increased by the presence of the AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The large battery with a capacity of 4500 mAh and instant charging with a power of 65 W are also impressive – the appropriate adapter can be found in the sales set. The weakest point is of course the camera, but the manufacturer does not hide it at all. It’s just that you can’t have everything for that kind of money.
