As the name itself says these phones come at mid-ranges of price And specifications.
Mainly these phones are highlighted at a specific specification such as a large battery, a very good processor, a very good camera, etc. Mid-range phones try to give the flagship experience at effective and affordable prices.

Budget phones are the mobile phones you can afford at your budget with the best specification where some brands offer at a higher price and some brands at lower prices.
Samsung Galaxy M30 phone comes with a large 5000 mAh battery and Super AMOLED FHD+ display which is the best display available in this price segment. Mi A3, Nokia 5.2, Nokia 501 Honor 8C, Moto E5 Plus, Redmi Note 8 series are some of the best budget phones.
Nokia Asha 501 was old low-end Budget smartphone from the Nokia Asha series,
When I surfed the internet and YouTube, I found that Nokia announced it in India on May 9, 2013 and released it on June 24, 2013. And in 2013 it was one of the most advance smartphone at that time which introduce many new features like touch-display, variety of games and much more.

As the word itself says what cheap mobile means. These phones are mainly affordable by paying low money which will give all the necessary specifications.
Various companies try to give the best specifications at least price, mainly Realme C2, Redmi 6A, Micromax Bharat 5 infinity, Coolpad Cool 3are some of the best cheap mobiles nowadays.
Concept Smartphones
Other than this there is a Concept mobile. Concept mobile is the primary version of experimental features such as folding display, pop-up selfie, under-display camera, etc.
These mobiles are not produced in bulk as these are starting models of new features but if produced sales in bulk there are chances for the failure of working of a new feature or less interest of peoples.
A few months ago Samsung Galaxy fold Phone was given to many peoples for testing and review, Where Samsung Galaxy fold was unsuccessful in various day-to-day normal use so Samsung just called them back to all review models.
