5 Newly presented mid-range phones from 2015

The mid-range is on fire. And not because a Qualcomm processor has once again starred in an overheating controversy, but because many of the large manufacturers have decided to bet part of their business on affordable, balanced and relatively contained size smartphones. In recent weeks there have been many presentations of mid-range smartphones with Android operating system, and since it is not easy to be aware of all of them, this time we have decided to make a compilation of five mid-range mobiles from 2015 just presented (also including some other medium-high range).

1. Huawei G8

And we will start by talking about Huawei, the Asian company that in recent months is doing its homework quite well in the smartphone market. In this case, we refer to the Huawei G8, a mobile that was officially presented on July 25. This is a smartphone that the fact of belonging to incorporate midrange does not prevent you a metal casing, and its technical specifications can find a screen of 5.5 inches with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, a processor Snapdragon 615 (although There are sources that indicate that, finally, the processor chosen for this mobile is aSnapdragon 616) of eight cores, 2 / 3 gigabytes of RAM, 32 gigabytes of internal storage (expandable card microSD), a main chamber 13 megapixels, Android 5.1 Lollipop and a battery with a capacity of 3,000 mAh.

We could argue at length about whether or not this smartphone belongs to the mid-range, but what really helps us to solve this question is the starting price that the Huawei G8 has had in some markets: 370 euros for the version of 2 GigaBytes of RAM and 430 euros for the 3 GigaByte version. Of course, its availability in the European market is yet to be confirmed.

2. Sony Xperia M5

In fact, the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua (an earlier version of this mobile, with slightly inferior characteristics) arrived in stores with a price of 300 euros, which allows us to get an idea of ​​the starting price that the new Xperia M5 will have..
