Earlier we looked at the best entry-level phones and provided options for people with a budget of 3K. The lower market is so cramped with devices that even people with a set budget are confused which one to pick. So in order to make it simpler for you, let's take a look at some of the better models within the 5K bracket.
Though there were a wide variety of phones to choose from, here's a list of the best six we picked out.
Samsung X520 - 3,650

The Samsung X520 is a slim beauty and is one of the good-looking handsets. It's got sharp lines, though it's obviously not even close to the RAZR. Now the RAZR also sells in this price bracket (on the higher side) but it's old and outdated, and hence I wouldn't want to suggest it.
Coming in as an entry phone in this price bracket, the Samsung doesn't have much to offer. It's got a 1.9-inch screen, a 1,000 entry phonebook, 2.8 MB of internal memory, VGA camera, FM Radio and Infrared connectivity for just contacts transfer.
The missing Bluetooth and no memory card slot could be a bit of a hitch, especially since our previous 3K choices also had a card slot. However, for this phone you'd be paying for its look. One thing that surely adds to the good points of this phone is its good battery life.
