This release is coming up on the two-year mark, which may initially turn some people away. But what this really means is that you will be able to get a quality phone that Apple will keep updating for years to come. Not to mention, you can find a gently used iPhone SE (2020) for under $200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key benefits of the iPhone SE (2020) include a smaller form factor, 4.7\u201d Retina display, a Home button with Touch ID, up to 128GB of internal storage, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and a single 12MP wide camera with Portrait Mode, Portrait Lighting, and next-generation Smart HDR for photos. This model is also powered by Apple\u2019s A13 Bionic (the same processor chip found in the iPhone 11).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swappa-widget\" style=\"min-height:150px;\" data-primary-device=\"apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\" data-section=\"mobile\"><div class=\"swp_subscription hidden-xs\" style=\"position:relative;;z-index:100\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:20px;position:absolute;right:20px;top:7px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"hidden-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:16px;top:2px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"swp-wgt\"><div class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_config\" class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_device\"><div class=\"swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_device_select\"><div class=\"swp-left\"><div style=\"height:60px;;width:60px;\" class=\"swp-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Product Image\" id=\"swp_device_img\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/7a\/92\/7a925e338d652b415990dd6bf3f4d57b.png\"\/><\/div><div style=\"margin:10px 0;\" class=\"swp-right img-responsive\"><div id=\"swp_device_name\" class=\"swp-title\" style=\"padding-left:  7px;\">Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_options\" class=\"swp_options_select\"><div class=\"swp-size swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_options_select\" style=\"height:76px;\"><div class=\"swp-left\" style=\"margin:10px 10px auto;\"><div id=\"swp_opt2_name\" class=\"swp-title\">T-Mobile<\/div><div id=\"swp_opt1_name\" class=\"swp-muted\">64<\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-down\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u25bc\" width=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/static\/widget\/caret-down.svg\"\/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_options_select\" class=\"swp_select_options img-responsive\" style=\"width:184px;display:none;\"><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">CAPACITY<\/div><div style=\"margin:0 8px;\"><div style=\"overflow-x:overlay;;width:100%;\"><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"0\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">NETWORK<\/div><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"1\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_price\" class=\"swp-row\" style=\"width:200px;position:relative;\"><div id=\"swp_col_start_at\" style=\"width:85%;\"><div class=\"swp-col-50 swp-left\">LISTINGS<br\/> START AT<\/div><div class=\"swp-col-50\"><span id=\"swp_price\">145<\/span><\/div><hr class=\"swp-dotted\" style=\"width:100px;\"\/><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_buy\" style=\"width:100%;\"><a class=\"swp-buy swp-button swp-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen\">SHOP NOW ><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swp_subscription visible-xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:18px;position:absolute;right:9px;top:0px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"visible-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:4px;top:0px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-se-2nd-gen#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone SE 2nd Gen 2020\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple-iPhone-11\"><\/span>Apple iPhone 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a cheap iPhone, it is hard to go wrong with the iPhone SE (2020), but we also understand that not everyone wants a smaller phone, and not everyone wants Touch ID.

Prices for a gently used iPhone 11 are starting at around $300 (as of April 2022).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone 11 was released in September 2019, so similar to the iPhone SE \u2013 you can expect to receive iOS software \u200b\u200bupdates for a long time to come. One perk of the iPhone 11 is the variety of color options, six in total. Otherwise, the iPhone 11 feature set includes a 6.1\u201d Liquid Retina HD display, Face ID, up to 128GB of storage, an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, and a dual 12MP rear camera setup with support for Night mode, Deep Fusion, and 4K video recording.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swappa-widget\" style=\"min-height:150px;\" data-primary-device=\"apple-iphone-11\" data-section=\"mobile\"><div class=\"swp_subscription hidden-xs\" style=\"position:relative;;z-index:100\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:20px;position:absolute;right:20px;top:7px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"hidden-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:16px;top:2px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone 11\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"swp-wgt\"><div class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_config\" class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_device\"><div class=\"swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_device_select\"><div class=\"swp-left\"><div style=\"height:60px;;width:60px;\" class=\"swp-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Product Image\" id=\"swp_device_img\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/a2\/e0\/a2e0a0e3cae64c4d6b198eb9a2c46c8a.png\"\/><\/div><div style=\"margin:10px 0;\" class=\"swp-right img-responsive\"><div id=\"swp_device_name\" class=\"swp-title\" style=\"padding-left:  7px;\">Apple iPhone 11<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_options\" class=\"swp_options_select\"><div class=\"swp-size swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_options_select\" style=\"height:76px;\"><div class=\"swp-left\" style=\"margin:10px 10px auto;\"><div id=\"swp_opt2_name\" class=\"swp-title\">T-Mobile<\/div><div id=\"swp_opt1_name\" class=\"swp-muted\">64<\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-down\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u25bc\" width=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/static\/widget\/caret-down.svg\"\/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_options_select\" class=\"swp_select_options img-responsive\" style=\"width:184px;display:none;\"><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">CAPACITY<\/div><div style=\"margin:0 8px;\"><div style=\"overflow-x:overlay;;width:100%;\"><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"0\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">NETWORK<\/div><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"1\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_price\" class=\"swp-row\" style=\"width:200px;position:relative;\"><div id=\"swp_col_start_at\" style=\"width:85%;\"><div class=\"swp-col-50 swp-left\">LISTINGS<br\/> START AT<\/div><div class=\"swp-col-50\"><span id=\"swp_price\">267<\/span><\/div><hr class=\"swp-dotted\" style=\"width:100px;\"\/><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_buy\" style=\"width:100%;\"><a class=\"swp-buy swp-button swp-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11\">SHOP NOW ><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swp_subscription visible-xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:18px;position:absolute;right:9px;top:0px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"visible-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:4px;top:0px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-11#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone 11\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best cheap 5G T-Mobile smartphones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Apple-iPhone-12\"><\/span>Apple iPhone 12<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a quality iPhone for $300 or under is great. In fact, it is cheap. But, if you\u2019re able to step up the budget, you may want to consider an iPhone 12, which adds a key feature \u2013 5G. Prices for a gently used iPhone 12 currently start at a little over $400, which is a good bump in price, but the combination of 5G support and years worth of iOS updates make it a safer long(er)-term investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple introduced the iPhone 12 in October 2020, and some of the key features include a 6.1\u201d Super Retina XDR display with HDR, Apple\u2019s A14 Bionic chip, up to 256GB of storage, MagSafe charging, and a dual 12MP wide and ultra-wide camera array on the back. The iPhone 12 camera supports features such as Night mode and Deep Fusion, and it can also record HDR video with Dolby Vision at up to 4K at 30 frames per second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swappa-widget\" style=\"min-height:150px;\" data-primary-device=\"apple-iphone-12\" data-section=\"mobile\"><div class=\"swp_subscription hidden-xs\" style=\"position:relative;;z-index:100\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:20px;position:absolute;right:20px;top:7px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"hidden-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:16px;top:2px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone 12\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"swp-wgt\"><div class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_config\" class=\"swp-row\"><div id=\"swp_col_device\"><div class=\"swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_device_select\"><div class=\"swp-left\"><div style=\"height:60px;;width:60px;\" class=\"swp-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Product Image\" id=\"swp_device_img\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/images\/cache\/e7\/e6\/e7e650bed4c3d5152f7905391331fa94.png\"\/><\/div><div style=\"margin:10px 0;\" class=\"swp-right img-responsive\"><div id=\"swp_device_name\" class=\"swp-title\" style=\"padding-left:  7px;\">Apple iPhone 12<\/div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_options\" class=\"swp_options_select\"><div class=\"swp-size swp-select\" data-target=\"swp_options_select\" style=\"height:76px;\"><div class=\"swp-left\" style=\"margin:10px 10px auto;\"><div id=\"swp_opt2_name\" class=\"swp-title\">T-Mobile<\/div><div id=\"swp_opt1_name\" class=\"swp-muted\">64<\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-down\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u25bc\" width=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/static.swappa.com\/static\/widget\/caret-down.svg\"\/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_options_select\" class=\"swp_select_options img-responsive\" style=\"width:184px;display:none;\"><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">CAPACITY<\/div><div style=\"margin:0 8px;\"><div style=\"overflow-x:overlay;;width:100%;\"><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"0\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"swp-opt-title\">NETWORK<\/div><div class=\"swp-options\" data-opt-index=\"1\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_price\" class=\"swp-row\" style=\"width:200px;position:relative;\"><div id=\"swp_col_start_at\" style=\"width:85%;\"><div class=\"swp-col-50 swp-left\">LISTINGS<br\/> START AT<\/div><div class=\"swp-col-50\"><span id=\"swp_price\">400<\/span><\/div><hr class=\"swp-dotted\" style=\"width:100px;\"\/><\/div><div id=\"swp_col_buy\" style=\"width:100%;\"><a class=\"swp-buy swp-button swp-right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12\">SHOP NOW ><\/a><\/div><div class=\"swp_subscription visible-xs\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width:18px;position:absolute;right:9px;top:0px\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/swappa-bootstrap\/images\/subscribe_band_sm.png\"\/><span class=\"visible-xs img-responsive\" style=\"position:absolute;right:4px;top:0px;padding:6px 7px\"><a class=\"swp_register\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/apple-iphone-12#blog_subscribe_modal\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe to Apple iPhone 12\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"fa fa-bell-o\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF\"><\/i><\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung-Galaxy-S20\"><\/span>Samsung Galaxy S20<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The iPhone tends to dominate the best-selling list here on Swappa, but we know there are plenty of you looking for Android, something from Samsung.

Prices for a gently used Pixel 5 begin at around $250, and the feature set, which includes 5G support makes it a model to consider if you are looking for a cheap Android smartphone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlights of the Google Pixel 5 include a 6.0\u201d FHD+ display with Smooth Display (up to 90 Hz refresh rate), a 4,080 mAh battery with fast charging, fast wireless charging, and Battery Share which allows you to wirelessly charge other devices.

These phones were released nearly a year apart, but they share many of the same features. Prices for a gently used Pixel 5a 5G begin at around $350, and prices for the Pixel 4a 4G begin at a little over $200.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at price alone, the Pixel 4a 5G appears to be the clear winner. But keep in mind that Google updates Android for a fixed amount of time. The Pixel 5a 5G will get Android version updates until August 2024, and the Pixel 4a 5G will get updates until November 2023. Granted, the Pixel 5a 5G is priced a fair bit higher than the Pixel 4a 5G, but the longer updates mean the phone will be the better (longer-term) investment before going outdated in terms of software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common features of these two Google smartphones include 128GB of internal storage, 6GB of RAM, Google\u2019s Titan M security module, Pixel Imprint, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor, an 8MP front-facing camera, and a dual-camera array on the back with a 12.2MP dual-pixel and 16MP ultra-wide lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Features that make the Pixel 5a 5G stand above the Pixel 4a 5G include a slightly larger display, a bigger battery, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and a premium metal unibody design. The display on the Pixel 5a 5G is 6.3\u201d as compared to the 6.2\u201d display on the Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 5a 5G battery is 4680 mAh with fast charging and Extreme Battery Saver. In comparison, the Pixel 4a 5G has a 3,885 mAh battery with fast charging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swappa-widget\" style=\"min-height:150px;\" data-primary-device=\"google-pixel-5a-5g\"
