Four phone models starting from 2999 are guaranteed to satisfy college students during back-to-school season

【Phoneauto Shopping Guide】As time reaches late August, it means that the summer vacation is coming to an end and college students are about to embark on their journey back to school, welcoming the new semester. For these young students, mobile phones have become essential tools for studying and living. A good mobile phone can not only satisfy their entertainment needs but also enhance their learning.

Starting a new semester, college students want to buy new phones? These four models guarantee your satisfaction, covering various price ranges.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a mobile phone. Different people have different needs, so it is particularly important to choose a phone that suits oneself. In addition to the brand, price is also one of the key concerns for everyone. In the market, there are various phones at different prices, and you can choose a phone that suits your needs and economic capabilities. However, considering that college students generally do not have economic independence, cost performance is also a primary consideration when purchasing a new phone for many college students. Of course, if you are financially well-off, you don’t need to consider too much and can directly go for the flagship models.

Today, based on the above situation, Phoneauto recommends four models for you, covering various price ranges, including high-end flagship models, mid-to-high-end models that you can confidently choose before the start of the semester. They are Xiaomi MIX Fold 3, OnePlus Ace 2 Pro, Huawei P60, and Vivo X90s.

On the evening of August 14th, Xiaomi released its new folding flagship phone, the Xiaomi MIX Fold 3. The current price for the 12GB+256GB version is 8999 yuan, which may not be friendly to college students, but the configuration of this phone is definitely worth the price. If you have sufficient pre-sales, you can experience the folding phone, and I believe it will bring you unexpected surprises.
