The trio of Philips S337, Samsung Galaxy V Plus, and Oppo Joy Plus are garnering attention in the sub-$40 smartphone segment due to their impressive specifications.
1. Budget-Friendly Smartphones with Great Performance
The budget smartphone market currently offers a variety of models with different designs, colors, and features. However, when considering factors like performance, brand reputation, and design, Phillips S337, Samsung Galaxy V Plus, and Oppo Joy Plus emerge as superior choices.
Samsung Galaxy V Plus

Regarded as a rare budget offering from Samsung, the Galaxy V Plus sports a compact design reminiscent of the Galaxy series. Its 4.5-inch display provides a satisfactory user experience, although it might feel slightly small for those with larger hands.
Regarding performance, a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor can handle light gaming and basic tasks on the Android platform. The weakness of the Samsung Galaxy V Plus lies in its limited RAM and internal storage (512 MB RAM, 4GB internal memory), which may pose difficulties for those who wish to install many apps on the device.
Reference price: 1,790,000 VND.
Philips S337

The S337 is Philips' latest smartphone model. It stands out with a user-friendly design and natural colors. The carbon fiber-patterned back effectively resists dust, scratches, and fingerprints. Equipped with a 5-inch display, quad-core processor, and 1 GB RAM, the Philips S337 ensures smooth and seamless user experience. With 8 GB internal memory and expandable storage up to 32 GB via external SD card, installing multiple apps becomes straightforward. The ample internal memory also allows users to store more photos.
The 5MP autofocus camera of this model is also an advantage compared to its similarly priced competitors. Another plus point is the X-Power Tech battery-saving technology, which extends usage time after each charge.
Reference price: 1,990,000 VND.
Introducing the sleek Oppo Joy Plus.

OPPO Joy Plus garners praise for its aesthetics and user-friendly features. With a 4-inch display boasting a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, paired with 1 GB of RAM and a 1.3 GHz dual-core processor, Joy Plus ensures smooth performance for basic tasks on the Android platform.
While the camera may not be the highlight of the OPPO Joy Plus, sporting only a 3MP resolution and lacking autofocus capability, it still manages to hold its own. If you prioritize detailed, high-quality photos, you might find Joy Plus slightly lacking. However, in terms of design, it earns points for its slim profile and youthful color options, catering to a wide age range.
Priced at approximately 1,790,000 Vietnamese dong.
