The year has just begun and so is every other things. It is certain that there will be influx of new smartphones with outstanding specifications this year but we won't just relax and wait for the unseen when there are cheap and affordable phones that were launched at the very end of last year and some that have just been launched this year 2016. I will list top ten smartphones that you should go for and rock this new year. These phones are amazing with nice specs and features and above all, affordable that is why there is no samsung product on the list.  For a samsung device with some of the specs that the phones you will see below are bit expensive. Though these are not the best phones out there but they are the best with other phones in their price range. The list is not arranged in any particular order so don't use the numbering to judge the best out of the rest.

Also i provided their pics, their prices and where to buy them. Check them out below...
