What the numbers say about mobile phones up to £1,500

  • Memory versions: 28 models have more than one version within the cut, and storage ranges from 16 GB to 2 TB. The model’s price is that of the cheapest version; the others appear on the card and in the list.

How to read these numbers

On 6 November 2026, the Radar tracks 117 models of mobile phone with a price up to £1,500: median price of £220, 15% below the catalog’s (£258). Prices range from £75 to £1,499.

How we choose
  • The picks combine a high rating and a price in line with the list: each one fits a way of spending, a use, or the brand that shows up most. The pros and cons come from each model’s spec sheet.
  • Stores: Amazon. We include stores we read every day through an open source or an affiliate program: the Radar collection, the Amazon catalog and the factory price database. A store that failed to load today is left out.
  • The same model in two stores is only merged with a catalog code, GTIN or the manufacturer’s full code. When in doubt, only one store is kept. A price far from the collected one (below 60% or above 150%) is left out.
  • Amazon appears without a price, only with the link: we don’t read Amazon prices in bulk.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a mobile phone with a price up to £1,500 cost?

In the 6 Nov 2026 catalog, the median price of the 117 models in the segment is £220, and prices range from £75 to £1,499. The final price is the one at the store.

How does the Radar count the models in this segment?

Models with at least one version whose lowest collected price is £1,500 or less are included. 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.

What changes between "up to £1,500" and the neighboring ranges?

The range is cumulative: everything that costs less is in it too. To see only what costs between two values, use the price range table on this page or the chart’s price filter.

How does the Radar choose the phones on the "best score for the price" line?

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.

How often does this page change?

Every day, with each collection: numbers, chart, ranking and the "What changed" section are rebuilt with the day’s catalog. This edition is from 6 November 2026.
