At $299, the Samsung Galaxy A25 is one of the cheapest phones that the company makes, and is also one of the few smartphones you can buy that still has a headphone jack and expandable storage.

The resolution of the screen is a touch higher than FHD, which makes the Galaxy A25 a viable option for those who enjoy binging on Netflix.
