The Pixel 10a, Galaxy S25 FE, OnePlus 15R, Nothing Phone 4(a) Pro, and Moto G Stylus all offer higher refresh rate displays, more versatile cameras, or lower prices than the $600 iPhone 17e.
These Android models feature options like 120Hz or higher screens, larger batteries, and longer software support, with prices starting at $500. Some, like the Moto G Stylus, include unique features such as a built-in stylus.
