In the Nov 5, 2026 catalog, the median price of the 8 models in the segment is $195, and prices range from $132 to $283. The final price is the one at the store.
Included are models that have at least one version with 256 GB of storage, confirmed on the spec sheet (storage is listed on every spec sheet). With at least one version at the lowest collected price up to $300. Each model counts once: if it has more than one memory version within the rule, the price is that of the cheapest version and the others show on the card.
From cheapest to most expensive, the phone that has a higher spec score than all the cheaper ones in the segment makes the line. Anything that costs more and has an equal or lower score is left out. The line doesn’t say which phone to buy: it only shows which ones don’t lose on both score and price at once.
Every day, with each collection: numbers, chart, ranking and the "What changed" section are rebuilt with the day’s catalog. This edition is from November 5, 2026.
Lowest price seen for the product on Amazon.com, shipped to New York 10001, on the day it was read, before sales tax.
The price is the one recorded on the date shown. The spec score doesn’t measure real-world photos or durability.
