8. Sony Xperia M4 Aqua
Price – $150
Released in the summer of 2015, the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua which ranks 8th on our list of best unlocked smartphones under $200, comes with Android OS Lollipop which can be upgraded to Marshmallow if you so desire. The device is pretty light, weighing 4.8 oz, even though ti has a rather large 5-inch screen. While there’s no Gorilla Glass on this device, Sony does mention that it has a scratch-resistant screen, if that offers any comfort.
The Xperia M4 Aqua features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset and an octa-core CPU. There are 8GB of internal space open for your needs, although there’s also a 16GB version available for purchase. Through a dedicated slot, however, you can expand the phone’s memory with up to 256 GB! This certainly isn’t something you see every day.
