Smartphones under 20,000 rubles can be considered the golden mean among mobile gadgets. At a very reasonable price, you get a productive device that has all the latest features: high-quality cameras, fast processors, additional features like NFC and face unlock.

But how do you decide on the right model among the huge variety of gadgets? We have collected for you the top 10 modern smartphones with the best price-quality ratio.

Honor 9 Lite – stylish beauty with 4 cameras

Price – 13,990 rubles.

Honor 9 Lite is a kind of extract of the capabilities of Huawei's numbered flagships. Here is the usual glass and aluminum body for the model range, two dual cameras, a frameless FullView screen and even an NFC module. Honor 9 Lite has become, perhaps, the most advanced smartphone under 20,000 rubles in the Honor line and an excellent alternative to top models.

The 5.65-inch frameless IPS display with a resolution of 2160 by 1080 is protected by durable 2.5D glass, supports 10 simultaneous touches and is equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment function depending on the lighting.

The 8-core Kirin 659 operates at a maximum frequency of 2.36 GHz. It allows expansion of the internal memory by 32 GB up to 256 GB using an SD card, as well as connecting a smartphone via an OTG cable to a scanner or printer. Heavy applications and games run on the smartphone without problems.

From Huawei you traditionally expect smartphones with the best cameras under 20,000 rubles, and Honor 9 Lite confidently holds the mark here. Not only the main camera, but also the front camera has a dual lens, which allows you to take high-quality portrait selfies. Both photo modules have a resolution of 13+2 megapixels and produce clear and detailed images even at dusk.

The 3000 mAh lithium polymer battery charges from 0 to 100% in 2.5 hours and holds a charge under active load for 10–12 hours. With a moderate start with alternating games, videos and access to the Internet, it will require connection to a charger no earlier than after 24 hours.

By adding another 3 thousand, you will get the Honor 9 Lite model with increased internal memory up to 64 GB.

Honor 7X – 6 inches of excellent ergonomics

Price – 14,990 rubles.

Among the mid-budget X series models, the inexpensive Honor 7X is considered a real hit, a favorite of users and technical experts. The first thing you notice when you take the gadget in your hand is its precise geometric proportions. The smartphone fits perfectly in the hand, despite the very impressive 5.9-inch screen. Convenience is also achieved due to the pleasant to the touch, slightly rough aluminum back panel and rounded ends.

Of course, a smartphone cannot be called an absolute frameless smartphone. However, the 18:9 aspect ratio enhances the feeling of a truly huge widescreen screen. The IPS display is reinforced with durable Gorilla Glass, so the gadget is resistant to falls and bumps. With a resolution of 2160 × 1080, the smartphone has one of the highest dot densities - about 407 ppi. One Glass Solution technology, due to which the air gap is removed between the matrix and the sensor, makes the image on the display incredibly realistic.

The heart of the smartphone is a fast 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 with a Mali-T830 MP2 graphics chip. It provides excellent gaming performance and fast work with the most voluminous applications.

The smartphone's main 16 MP camera with f/2.2 aperture supports a fashionable background blur mode, which allows you to effectively highlight details in the foreground. The 8 MP front photo module does an excellent job of taking selfies even in the dark.

The autonomy of the Honor 7X is quite decent for its class. The 3340 mAh battery provides a day of active work. The maximum load in the form of three-dimensional games with High and Ultra graphics levels “eats up” the charge in at least 5.5 hours.

Huawei P Smart – harmony of price and high quality

Price – 12,970 rubles.

Released at the beginning of 2018, Huawei P Smart has become one of the most balanced gadgets of the brand. All technical components here are thought out so as to fully meet the needs of users, but without functional mark-ups that would inflate the price tag.

The smartphone is equipped with a 5.65-inch IPS display with FullHD+ resolution in the current 18:9 format. This visually increases the screen size, although the smartphone does not claim to be frameless. Due to the high pixel density of 427 ppi and wide viewing angles, Huawei P Smart provides excellent picture quality, pure and bright colors without distortion.

Huawei P Smart runs on a powerful 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 engine with 3 GB of RAM, which works well in multitasking mode without slowdowns or freezes and runs 3D games at high settings. The chipset made it possible to equip the smartphone with the NFC contactless payment function, which is rarely found in gadgets cheaper than 13,000 thousand rubles.

The 13+2 megapixel dual camera takes high-quality and detailed pictures with background blur and bokeh effect. The 8 MP front camera also provides excellent detail even in low light.

The smartphone's 3000 mAh battery lasts a full day even with a decent load when watching videos and surfing the Internet.

Asus ZenFone Max Pro – attention to every detail

Price – 13,990 rubles.

New for the summer of 2018, ASUS ZenFone Max Pro, stands out from its competitors and its family members due to two technological features.

The smartphone has the most powerful battery among ZenFone gadgets – 5000 mAh, which allows it to work at maximum speed for at least 2 days.

The design of the smartphone is strict, classic, and therefore familiar. The back panel is made of metal, and the front panel is 83% of the screen with thin frames. The smartphone did without fashionable bangs and cutouts. The 6-inch display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels is slightly elongated due to the 18:9 aspect ratio, which is especially convenient when watching widescreen videos.

Asus ZenFone Max Pro is also a full-fledged smartphone for games up to 20,000 rubles. The 3GB 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor combines high speed and low power consumption. ASUS ZenFone Max Pro scores high on all synthetic tests, including gaming and multitasking performance.

The smartphone is equipped with a 13 megapixel dual camera and a 5 megapixel front camera. Moreover, the latter has an interesting feature. Even without an additional lens, the camera can programmatically blur the background for portrait shots.

Huawei Y9 2018 – spectacular and long-lasting

Price – 14,970 rubles.

Huawei Y9 embodies the top characteristics of the brand’s premium models and at the same time belongs to the budget price sector. For just 14,990 rubles you get a powerful smartphone with a large screen in a stylish metal case.

Excellent ergonomics and realistic pictures on the 5.93-inch FullScreen screen are the first things you notice when you first take the smartphone in your hand. However, the main advantage of the model is its filling.

The 4000 mAh battery easily withstands active loads for 2 days. This is largely due to the optimized software and the 8-core Kirin 659 chipset, which is characterized by high energy saving qualities. The processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.36 GHz and 3 GB of RAM ensures fast launch of large applications and mobile games at medium and high settings. In addition, the chipset expands the built-in storage to 256 GB, and also uses an NFC module.

Extensive settings for dual cameras of 16 and 13 MP allow you to safely experiment with shooting modes in various conditions and achieve images with a high level of detail.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is a fast smartphone with an excellent camera

Price – 14,990 rubles.

The Redmi Note 5 smartphone is called nothing less than the king of budget smartphones in numerous reviews. After all, for only 14,990 you get an excellent device that contains many of the remarkable features of top models.

Due to the metal body with a matte finish, the gadget feels comfortable in the hand even despite the impressive 6-inch screen. In addition, such a surface collects much fewer fingerprints than gloss.

The IPS display has almost no frames, and the resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels provides a clear and contrasting picture. In addition, the screen is reinforced with durable Corning Gorilla Glass, so it is resistant to drops and impacts. The 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 combined with the advanced Adreno 509 video chip provides high speed for work applications and games at high settings.

The main dual camera with a resolution of 12+5 megapixels is equipped with a sensitive Sony IMX486 sensor, which allows you to take clear and high-quality pictures without having to worry about choosing a low-light mode. The 13 megapixel front module does not lag behind in quality.

Due to this, the gadget is regularly included in the ranking of the best smartphones under 20,000 rubles with the most powerful battery.

Samsung J810 Galaxy J8 – bright screen and high-quality sound

Price – 15,990 rubles.

The Samsung Galaxy J8 smartphone is a very successful attempt to combine the budget model sector with the qualities of mid-price gadgets. Looking at the more expensive flagships of the A series, the South Korean brand was able to create a strong and reliable smartphone with a pleasant price tag.

Don't be fooled by the plastic back panel. This was done, first of all, for the sake of reliability. An impressive smartphone with a 6-inch screen feels great in the hand, does not slip out, and scratches and fingerprints are almost invisible on the matte surface.

The traditional SuperAMOLED matrix has a resolution of 720 by 1480 pixels, which even with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9 provides high image quality. The adaptive brightness mode allows you to fine-tune the display depending on the lighting, while this does not in any way affect the key features of screens of this type - the widest viewing angles and the highest color contrast.

Due to a capacious 3500 mAh battery, this smartphone costs up to 20 thousand rubles and can work for up to 21 hours at maximum brightness and running Internet modules. This is largely due to the 8-core Snapdragon 450 chipset, which is considered one of the best in terms of energy efficiency.

Perhaps the strongest point of the smartphone is its cameras. The main photo module has a combination of 16 and 5 megapixels and in terms of the degree of elaboration and brightness/contrast balance is not inferior to professional DSLRs. The 16 megapixel front module has its own flash, as well as an extensive set of settings to improve photo quality.

Huawei P20 Lite – unlimited speed

Price – 19,990 rubles.

One of the most effective strategies of Huawei is to release a top-end flagship for several tens of thousands of rubles, and then based on it create the best smartphones under 20,000 rubles with impressive characteristics. In this case, Huawei P20 Lite is the successor to the flagship Huawei P20.

For its money, the smartphone offers a maximum range of impressive features. The gadget in a chic glass gloss feels great in the hand. The LTPS TFT display has a diagonal of 5.84 inches, a resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels, an image density of 432 pixels per inch and an aspect ratio of 19:9.

The 8-core Kirin 659 does not succumb to even the most power-hungry applications and games due to a solid memory capacity of 4 GB. The amount of internal memory is already quite decent - 64 GB, however, it can be expanded up to 256 GB.

The Huawei P20 Lite's dual 16+2 megapixel rear camera provides excellent image quality both during the day and at night, even in the absence of an optical stabilizer. The 8-megapixel front module also copes with its tasks.

It takes only 1.5 hours to fully charge the 3000 mAh battery, after which the smartphone can work at full load for up to 14 hours.

Samsung A605 Galaxy A6 Plus – smart cameras

Price – 19,990 rubles

The Galaxy A6 gets into the top smartphones under 20,000 rubles, primarily due to its impressive camera capabilities. What especially stands out is the front module with a resolution of 24 megapixels, an f/1.9 aperture and its own flash, which, by the way, can be adjusted to suit the lighting. In addition, the front camera is equipped with the latest face unlocking and augmented reality functions.

A smart rear camera of 16 and 5 megapixels analyzes the scene and selects the optimal shooting modes, so the user only has to press the shutter. However, you can also use a very extensive manual mode of options.

The 6-inch screen with a resolution of 2220 × 1080 and a high pixel density of 411 ppi is traditionally based on a Super AMOLED matrix, which ensures high image quality. Since Samsung always remembers the reliability of its gadgets, the smartphone display is reinforced with durable Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

The 8-core Snapdragon 450 with 3 GB of RAM is responsible for the high speed of operation, and the 3500 mAh battery provides a day of intensive work.

Nokia 6 (2018) – affordable, powerful, secure

Price – 17,970 rubles.

Nokia 6 is an upgrade from the 2017 model, which occupies a special place in the ranking of smartphones under 20,000 rubles.

Due to the high brightness of the screen, colors do not fade even on a sunny day. In addition, the user can independently adjust the display mode and color temperature. To protect the screen from damage, durable Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with oleophobic coating is provided.

The key difference between the 2018 Nokia 6 and last year's version is the updated chipset. The 430th “dragon” was replaced by a more powerful Snapdragon 630 with 3 GB of RAM. Applications install and launch quickly, and the number of frames in 3D games like World of Tanks and Injustice 2 does not drop below 40 even on high settings. Qualitative differences are already visible from the results of synthetic tests.

If you are looking for a high-quality smartphone with good sound under 20,000 rubles, Nokia 6 will be an excellent purchase. With a price tag of only 12,590 rubles, the smartphone features top-end Dolby Atmos technology, which provides clear and deep sound.

As you can easily see from our selection, manufacturers of smartphones with a price tag of up to 20 thousand rubles in 2018 finally moved away from compromise solutions. Brands are no longer trying to save money by using components that are weaker in performance and quality. On the contrary, flagship components are actively used in affordable models.

By carefully studying the market of modern telephone electronics, you can accurately determine which is the best smartphone under 10,000 rubles.

When thinking about which smartphone to buy with the maximum benefit, buyers mainly choose the price segment up to 10,000 rubles. Devices in this category are relatively cheap, they are mainly created by Chinese companies, which means there are no particularly powerful smartphones from famous brands here. But there are balanced smartphones with good autonomy and large batteries. By “large” we mean capacities from 4000 to 6000 mAh. More is either a marketing ploy or poor quality. The same applies to cameras. They shoot more or less passably, but are not suitable for high-quality amateur photography.

Some buyers are looking for the lightest possible smartphone so that it fits nicely in the hand and doesn’t weigh down the pocket. Such models either have low autonomy due to the small volume of the battery, or their body is made of lightweight materials, usually plastic. Finally, some are looking for models with a larger screen. Basically, it is from 5.5 to 7 inches. There are few such models and often their matrices are made of the TN type in order to avoid increased costs. We have selected for you the top 20 best smartphones priced up to 10,000 rubles in several categories, from the most autonomous to the largest.

The best smartphones under 10,000 rubles with a powerful battery

Not satisfied with the short battery life? Tired of charging your phone every day? We present the most balanced and autonomous models priced up to 10,000 rubles!

4 Xiaomi Redmi 8A 2/32GB

High-quality budget phone from Xiaomi
Country: China
Average price: 7990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

One of the most budget Xiaomi lines made its mark in this category thanks to the Redmi 8A model. The 5000 mAh lithium-polymer battery is not removable and is not rational from a maintenance point of view, but it is enough to ensure sufficient autonomy of the 8-core processor and Adreno 505 video accelerator. By the way, the processor can operate at frequencies up to 2.0 GHz per core. So you will need to charge it every 3-4 days with moderate usage. The official price looks quite attractive, especially considering the camera from Sony. Android 9.0 is also pleasing, without bugs and a lot of software “garbage”.

The disadvantages turned out to be quite controversial. There is no second auxiliary camera for portraits, but the diagonal has grown compared to the previous generation, which has led to an increase in power consumption. There is no NFC function either, so you will have to resort to using plastic cards again.

3 Motorola Moto E5 Plus 32GB

Stylish metal body and nice screen. Convenient touchpad
A country: USA, China (manufactured in China)
Average price: 9414 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

While there is debate whether the brand has become better or worse after the change in management, Motorola continues to release successful models, constantly improving and strengthening its position in the market, which confirms the creation of this model. Of course, unlike its predecessors, the development of the Moto E5 Plus cannot be called ideal in terms of camera photographs, both main and front. Their customers rate them only as a four. However, the point here is not the negligence of the manufacturer, but a change in priorities. Instead of a powerful camera, the smartphone received an excellent 5000 mAh battery, designed to last for several days with average use.

Its strong features include a durable metal body with a bright 6-inch diagonal screen. Buyers in the reviews note the fast response of the fingerprint scanner, the high volume of the speakers, the convenient shape and the NFC module, which is almost absent in the Motorola model range. Finally, 3 GB of RAM makes entertainment and learning processes comfortable, and support for memory cards up to 256 GB allows you to use it as a media center.

2 BQ 6035L Strike Power MAX

All in one
Country: China
Average price: 7990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The BQ 6035L became the direct successor to the 5005L and received a number of improvements. The only thing left from the old one is an impressive 6000 mAh battery. The screen has grown to 6 inches, has an IPS matrix and full 2K resolution. There are 5 colors to choose from, but only blue and yellow are worthy of attention, the other 3 are different variations of black. The body is made of metal, which resulted in an increase in the weight of the device to 197 grams. Communication modules have been improved, 4G now works more stably, like 3G, and in addition to this, you can now use NFC technology. The fingerprint scanner is able to remember several options for limbs. The smartphone is built on an 8-core Unisoc SC9863A processor, made using a 28 nm technical process and a frequency of 1.6 GHz.

As the first disadvantage, we note the non-separable case and the presence of plastic inserts with a textured pattern, which is good for appearance but bad for durability. In addition, if the battery swells, it will not be possible to replace it. The standard application package consists of pre-installed software from Yandex and several games.

1 DOOGEE S30

The best battery. Durability and reliable protection against water and dust
Country: China
Average price: 7500 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The development of a Chinese brand that recently entered the market, combining a number of useful properties. The basis, of course, is the battery – its working volume is 5580 mAh. The case is made in a classic style with a case protected from damage and moisture. It is not recommended to rely heavily on them; careful use is encouraged. The relatively good autonomy is due not only to the battery, but also to the built-in hardware with low power consumption. According to customer reviews, the phone holds up well against the tiles; for the first 10-15 minutes it works in water at a shallow depth. The charge is fully replenished in 3 hours if you use the “native” charger.

Among the shortcomings, several technical points should be noted. The smartphone does not have a notification light, which will leave you in the dark about the charging process or missed calls. The call speaker turned out to be weak; at full volume, in urban noise conditions, the interlocutor will be almost inaudible. It is also difficult to find a cover - you will have to spend a lot of time searching.

The best smartphones under 10,000 rubles with a good camera

Don't need a powerful battery, but want to take high-quality photos? We found the five best smartphones in the budget segment under 10,000 rubles.

4 TECNO Camon 11S

4 cameras
Country: China
Average price: 8840 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.4

For an extremely modest price, the Chinese company TECNO introduced the world to Camon 11S with 4 cameras. More precisely, with one triple camera, made according to the 13+8+2 scheme and one front camera for selfies with 16 megapixels. We also liked the design approach, since out of 4 colors only one is boring and that is classic black. The smartphone shapes that have already become commonplace are diluted with blue, dark blue or gold colors. From a technical point of view, the 4-core processor operating at a frequency of up to 2.0 GHz per core is also very interesting. The delivery set even includes headphones, which for 9,000 rubles looks simply gorgeous.

The main problems await buyers in the software shell. The pre-installed launcher tries to show advertising during any transition, the widget of which is difficult to remove even from the start screen. The problem is solved by installing a launcher from third-party resources without advertising. The warranty period of the product, equal to 13 months, also became unusual. The result is a balanced smartphone with 3 GB of RAM. All components are powered by a modest 3500 mAh battery. The charge is quickly replenished by charging at 2 Amps.

3 Meizu M6T 2/16GB

Lightweight and bright message indicator. Background blur feature
Country: China

This TOP participant enjoys special love from customers thanks to the polycarbonate body that fits well in the hands, which not only makes the smartphone non-slip, but also makes it much lighter. Meizu weighs only 145 grams, which means it is the lightest representative of the category. However, this did not prevent the development from obtaining a decent eight-core processor that provides good operating speed. Various additions are also included in the benefits. A bright indicator on the front side indicates the presence of unread messages and missed calls. The convenience of the phone is successfully complemented by a normal dual camera with a fashionable bokeh function, also known as the background blur function, which is a rarity for devices costing up to 10,000 rubles.

Lightness, budget, good performance, beautiful screen and nice additions are appreciated by most buyers. However, the device also has a drawback - the battery is not very capacious.

2 ZTE Blade V9 Vita 3/32GB

A bright new product for 2018 in fashionable colors and a slim body. NFC technology
Country: China
Average price: 7490 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Released in the second half of 2018, the model of the popular budget brand already at the start of sales won the attention of all thrifty connoisseurs of elegant and functional new products. The first feature that immediately catches your eye is the almost frameless screen with rich colors and the thinnest 7.6-inch thick body in non-trivial colors. In addition to classic black, the buyer can choose a noble deep blue, soft mint or pastel pink shade. A non-slip back panel with a fast fingerprint scanner and a built-in NFC module also make the smartphone one of the best TOP devices in terms of functionality.

Buyers and experts consider another advantage of the phone to be a clear main camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels, which is good enough for a budget of 10,000 rubles. Many also note the convenient shape, bright screen, fast processor and reasonable cost-quality ratio. But, like a number of analogues, the model only holds a charge for about a day.

1 Xiaomi Redmi S2 3/32GB

The best selfie camera and good quality of all photos. Supports memory cards up to 256 GB
Country: China
Average price: 8990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9

The best cameras in the entire budget segment ensured Xiaomi not only a prominent place in our review, but also the attention of all camera phone connoisseurs. Of course, being an economy-class solution, this smartphone cannot be compared to a professional camera in terms of photo quality, but the pictures taken with its dual camera with a module from Sony are unrivaled in this category. Selfies are superior in clarity and color rendition even to frontal photographs of many much more expensive devices. The front camera, which has a resolution of 16 megapixels, produces higher quality images than the rear cameras of its analogues. Moreover, it is equipped with a portrait mode that allows you to blur the background, focusing on the face.

Users also call the strength of the Redmi S2 a good supply of built-in memory with the ability to additionally install a memory card of up to 256 GB. Also, the advantages often include a display with an anti-glare oleophobic coating and excellent viewing angles.

The best smartphones under 10,000 rubles with a large display

A large screen is the key to comfortable use and preservation of vision. That is why we decided to add models with the largest screen diagonals.

4 Xiaomi Redmi 7 3/32GB

Budget giant
Country: China
Average price: 9759 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.4

Another product from Xiaomi with a diagonal of 6.26 inches. The screen of the smartphone turned out to be quite bright, with high picture clarity. Thanks to the powerful speaker, you will always hear calls and notifications. The call quality is also good, but not ideal. Despite the presence of a processor with 8 cores and 3 GB of RAM, the smartphone’s autonomy will last for 4-5 days with a 4000 mAh battery. Factory charging is very powerful, from 15 to 90% the charge will be replenished in 1.5 hours. A microphone with a voice recorder is also quite good; recording conversations with them or communicating with them is a pleasure. Video recordings are of decent quality in HD resolution, only sometimes autofocus fails when shooting with a smartphone on a tripod.

The main problem lies in the operating system with a bunch of factory garbage that is difficult to remove, and installing a new one will require effort. The non-removable battery makes it impossible to replace it if it fails. To completely delete video and audio recordings, you need to reboot the system.

3 Alcatel 3V 5099D

Better resolution and larger diagonal with low weight
A country: France, USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: 8740 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5

The inexpensive smartphone from the French-American company, which has remained popular for many years, will be an ideal choice for anyone who loves large screens, but does not want to purchase an prohibitively heavy device. The Alcatel brand successfully combines the largest display, with a diagonal of 6 inches, with a very light weight for such devices, not exceeding 155 grams. Thus, a phone with a giant screen is even slightly lighter than competitors with a relatively small screen. What also made the model one of the best is its excellent detail, made possible thanks to the screen resolution of 1080 by 2160 pixels, and clear cameras with front and rear flashes.

A bright display, clean Android 8, high speed and support for two SIM cards and a memory card, according to the owners, perfectly complement the impressive appearance of the smartphone. Its only downside is the mediocre 3000 mAh battery, which only lasts for a day.

2 Meizu M5 Note 16Gb

Best camera
Country: China
Average price: 9390 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Meizu's budget devices are not going very smoothly. Take, for example, the silver medalist of our TOP-3. The body is metal and fits nicely in the hand. Screen 5.5’, FullHD resolution, color rendition and viewing angles are excellent. The performance is quite good: the 8-core Helio P10 from MediaTek paired with 3 GB of RAM provides high speed not only in simple applications, but also in complex 3D games. Even if not at maximum settings.

Cameras. They don't shoot perfectly, but they're very good for the budget class. The 13 megapixel main camera sports an f/2.2 aperture, autofocus and LED flash. If there is sufficient lighting, there is no fault; in the dark it makes the expected noise. The front camera is also good.

But the model has a big drawback - cost. You can find an M5 Note for less than 10 thousand rubles, but only in two dozen online stores, which is not convenient for everyone.

1 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X 32Gb+3Gb

The best value for money
Country: China
Average price: 8990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Xiaomi has once again proven that it’s not size that matters, but quality. The screen here is excellent. The smartphone is pleasant to hold in your hands due to its metal body. The screen has a familiar 5.5-inch diagonal and a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. The quality is simply excellent for its class. But the performance is an order of magnitude higher. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor and 3 GB of RAM will power almost any application or game. If only MiUI didn’t consume so much RAM, it would be great. Communication modules are traditional, and therefore there is no point in listing them. The only complaint is that there is no NFC, which imposes certain limitations. The cameras aren't perfect either. The main one is 13 megapixels, normal during the day, noisy in the evening - don’t expect a miracle. But the battery is already 4100 mAh. Yes, and fast charging is supported, which is good news.

Lightness makes it comfortable to use, although sometimes it negatively affects strength. The lightweight smartphone is pleasant to hold in your hand and your hand does not get tired.

4 Digma LINX ATOM 3G

Best smartphone by weight
Country: China
Average price: 2190 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

The Digma LINX ATOM 3G can be a salvation during a crisis or a good budget gift. Suitable as a teaching model for children and elderly people. The weight of the device is only 129 grams and this is a record. There are 5 colors available at once, the most interesting of which are red and blue. Additional advantages include the bare Android Go system, Bluetooth LE, assembly and the absence of glitches as stated. The smartphone is equipped with a primitive proximity sensor or its emulation and it works. It doesn’t ring in your pocket, and when you put your ear to the handset in call mode the screen is blocked. As a bonus there is a working radio with RDS.

Minuses. The case, as expected, is made of plastic, and it is flimsy, although there are no gaps. Small battery (on standby, in ultra-economy mode they promise 3 days of operation, but the dialer + player + radio barely lasts a day, but for “surfing the Internet” it will last for 2-3 hours). The camera is very weak, but yes, the focus is such that even the text is visible, but not very well.

3Huawei Y6

Minimum weight and decent build quality. Adjusting energy consumption
Country: China
Average price: 8490 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.0

Huawei Y6 is one of the lightest smartphones in the line with a weight of 150 grams, which is comparable even to compact phones that were recently encountered, which are practically no longer produced. In addition, this TOP participant is quite miniature. Its height is the smallest and is only 143.5 millimeters, so the budget phone will fit into a pocket of average depth without any problems. Of course, for the sake of light weight and compactness, the manufacturer had to save a little on the amount of built-in memory, which is only 32 GB, and on the processor, but many find this normal for a budget of up to 10,000 rubles.

A smartphone has many advantages. Buyers especially note the good build quality, pleasant sound without wheezing or extraneous noise, and pleasant ergonomics. The ability to control applications, allowing or prohibiting specific applications from running in the background, will be useful for those who want to save battery.

2 Meizu M5s 32GB

Largest amount of built-in memory with small dimensions
Country: China
Average price: 7,900 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.3

Meizu is doing pretty well in the budget segment. Unlike the M5s, this smartphone has a slightly larger diagonal, now 5.2 inches. Full HD resolution with acceptable color reproduction and excellent viewing angles will now be able to please the buyer with a picture that is pleasing to the eye. The performance is also good: the 4-core processors with the M5s, which everyone was tired of, were replaced with an 8-core stone, which, coupled with 3 GB of RAM, ensured high speed not only in applications, but also in games, albeit not at the highest settings.

Problems begin when shooting during sunset, when noise begins to appear on the screen. The front camera takes good pictures, but has the same problems as the rear one. By reducing the cost of components, the company managed to create a relatively light mobile device weighing 143 grams, which, however, is 8 grams heavier than the M5s. As a criticism for the manufacturer, we note the old 3000 mAh battery, which is why the M5s uses up its charge somewhat faster than its “brother.”

1 INOI 5 Pro

The best smartphone based on all its characteristics
Country: China
Average price: 5890 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

An improved version of the smartphone compared to INOI 5 Lite with a fingerprint scanner and more memory. There are only 2 color schemes – blue and black. An interesting nuance is the fact that in some packages the charger and cord are painted purple. The device itself is made in the style of a classic candy bar with a traditional arrangement of charging ports and controls. A big plus was the collapsible case with a removable battery with a very modest 2850 mAh. The back plastic cover fits tightly to the body without gaps, without bending under finger pressure.

The technical content is also modest. The 16 GB of internal memory is paired with 2 GB of RAM and a processor with 4 cores and relatively low clock speeds of up to 1.3 GHz. All this together led to the low weight of the smartphone at 138 grams, which is one of the best indicators on the market.

The smallest representative of the top with a screen of only 4 inches and a resolution of 800x480 pixels. Thanks to the small but optimal 2800 mAh battery for this device, the phone weighs only 155 grams. It is equipped to the minimum for work and entertainment:

• Processor MediaTek MT6580M, with 1.3 GHz frequency and 4 cores;
• Graphics accelerator Mali-400 MP1;
• Built-in memory – 8 GB;
• RAM – 1 GB.

Support for memory cards up to 32 GB is also not highlighted. The smartphone is suitable for working people who are constantly on the move and those who come into contact with water, but not in extreme conditions. It is recommended to use it as a regular dialer, without watching YouTube or playing games.

3 VERTEX Impress Tor

The most affordable price. Moderate weight and small thickness
A country: Russia (manufactured in China)
Average price: 7120 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5

Rugged phones are often characterized by impressive dimensions and excessive weight, but the development of a domestic company turned out to be a happy exception to the rule. The body is slightly lighter than 185 grams, the thickness is only a centimeter, the width and height of conventional models made the purchase of this smartphone very tempting. At the same time, Impress Tor is noticeably lower than competitors’ devices and even other inventions of the same company, which explains the phenomenal demand and countless reviews for this particular device.

Although it’s difficult to call Vertex ideal in terms of cameras and other multimedia parameters, almost all buyers consider it an excellent choice. After all, the budget phone is reliably protected from dust, moisture and splashes, and its battery capacity reaches 4400 mAh, which in practice is enough for 3 or 4 days of work without recharging. The device also features optimal operating speed and instant location of GPS and Glonass.

Buyers in the reviews all praise the ease of use of the smartphone. This is mainly due to the protective bumper that secures the device in your hand. The battery lasts for a day, it’s not bad here, 4000 mAh has become almost a standard for a rugged device. The main camera is 13 megapixels, it can be used for shooting documents and amateur photos. The phone is not suitable for selfies due to the 2 MP front camera.

Having assembled a good physical shell, the smartphone software developers managed to screw up Android 7.0. The “jamb” is the unified adjustment of notifications and ringtone volume. The phone is equipped with an extremely modest 5-inch screen. Thus, by paying about 8,000 rubles you will get an affordable and secure smartphone with modest characteristics and average protection from the environment.

1 Blackview BV5800

Best smartphone in the category
Country: China
Average price: 8690 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0

Blackview BV5800 is a real leader in the market of rugged smartphones priced up to 10,000 rubles and in the top category. There are both regular and Pro versions on sale, which are instantly swept off the shelves, although we did not find any differences. Both have a biometric sensor and a working compass with navigation modules for GLONASS and GPS. Additionally, NFC, LTE and OTG functions are available. It's nice to use it near a waterfall or in a noisy crowd, since the speaker is very powerful.

Buyers in reviews highlight the screen protruding from the body, the small amount of built-in and RAM, and the extremely inconvenient hybrid slot for a SIM card and memory card as the main negative point. The smartphone can withstand being dropped from a table and dipped into a river. An accurate navigator really helps when traveling. With an average load, the battery lasts for 24 hours, but the declared 5500 mAh does not even smell here; it feels like 3500 or 3300 mAh. It copes poorly with dirt; after washing, the camera and flashlight may begin to malfunction.

How to choose a smartphone under 10,000 rubles?

Our advice is quite simple. Look for a smartphone that offers the best value for money for the features that matter to you. We would like to highlight several interesting models from the top.

If we need a smartphone with good battery life, then the fresh BQ 6035L Strike Power MAX will please not only with it, but also with its filling. For lovers of good photos at a modest price, we recommend TECNO Camon 11S as the most profitable investment.

For a larger screen, we recommend turning to Xiaomi and their Redmi 7 3/32GB model. They have the best price-quality ratio. Finally, with 10,000 rubles in our pocket and the desire to buy a secure smartphone, we would take the Blackview BV5800 as a compromise between performance and reliability.

Affiliate Material

Ten to fifteen thousand rubles is the approximate amount that the average user is willing to spend on a smartphone. We decided to figure out what interesting models there are in this segment and what discounts manufacturers offer on them. Since these segments are still slightly different from each other, we divided the article into two parts. In one we are talking about smartphones up to 10 thousand, and in the second - up to 15.

Up to 10 thousand rubles

Meizu M5s

This model was introduced a little over a year ago and has been sold in Russian retail for a long time. The reason we decided to add it to the selection is the recent price reduction from Meizu. Now M5s can be purchased for 8,990 rubles, and this is an excellent offer. Firstly, the device has a good quality display with HD resolution, IPS matrix and oleophobic coating, secondly, a practical aluminum body, and thirdly, despite the low price, there is a fingerprint scanner and support for two SIM cards. The smartphone also supports mCharge fast charging, and a corresponding charger is included in the package, which is rare for the budget segment.

Meizu M6

Interestingly, the next generation from Meizu is sold for the same 8,990 rubles as part of the promotion and has all the same advantages as the M5s, but instead of an aluminum body, stain-resistant plastic is used. Plus, the smartphone has very beautiful body colors, especially dark blue. Among the advantages of the M6 ​​over the M5s, we will highlight the improved front camera with ArcSoft technology that improves your portraits. The front camera resolution is 8 MP, which is also almost never found in budget models.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A

This model has a 5.5-inch display with HD resolution and a plastic body stylized as metal. Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 is responsible for its performance, and the battery capacity is 3080 mAh. Despite the price of 10,000 rubles, Redmi Note 5A does not have a fingerprint scanner, which is strange.

Samsung Galaxy J3 2017

An entry-level model from a major brand with more or less affordable specifications, notable for its relatively small five-inch display with HD resolution, the use of the Exynos 7570 chipset and a relatively small 2400 mAh battery. At the same time, finding a J3 2017 for 10,000 rubles is very problematic; in large retail stores its price starts at 13,000 rubles.

Honor 6c Pro

Another good smartphone for 10 thousand rubles. Unlike its competitors, it has its own chipset and a fingerprint scanner on the back cover. The rest of the parameters are quite standard: HD resolution, 5.2-inch display and 3000 mAh battery.

Up to 15 thousand

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4

The bestseller from Xiaomi has been on the shelves for a year and a half, but is still a current model in this price segment. The manufacturer is in no hurry to reduce the price; even now in large retail stores this smartphone is sold for 15 thousand rubles. However, in terms of characteristics it is still quite good.

Meizu M5 Note

In most respects, this is a direct competitor to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4: the model has a 5.5-inch display, FHD resolution and a capacious 4000 mAh battery, but it has several important differences. Firstly, the model runs MediaTek Helio P10. Secondly, it supports fast charging. Thirdly, it costs 4,000 cheaper! Now Meizu M5 Note can be purchased for 11,000 rubles.

Meizu M6 Note

The key differences of the updated M6 Note are the presence of a dual camera with f/1.9 aperture, a cool 16 MP front camera and the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. By the way, this model also supports fast charging, and for all the advantages of the new product over the previous generation you will have to pay only 3,000 extra rubles, now the M6 ​​Note is sold for 14,000 rubles.

Samsung Galaxy J7 2017

In the case of the Korean brand, we decided to go a little beyond our budget, because the Galaxy J7 2017, which can compete with other models, costs not 15, but 18 thousand rubles. Yes, it also has FHD resolution and a 3600 mAh battery, but on average it costs 3,000-4,000 rubles more than its Chinese competitors.

Honor 9 Lite

An interesting model for 15,000 rubles with a beautiful but easily soiled glass body, a dual camera and the proprietary EMUI shell. True, the battery capacity is smaller than that of competitors, and the smartphone takes a long time to charge (2.5 hours).

Conclusion

For your convenience, we have prepared two comparison tables so that all the pros and cons of the models, as well as their prices, are clearly visible.

As you can see, in terms of parameters, all options are approximately similar, so it makes sense to look at the price, and Meizu wins here due to its recent price reduction. In fact, having similar characteristics, the company offers its models as a whole for one to four thousand cheaper, depending on what you compare with.

We continue our marathon of ratings with the best smartphones under 10,000 rubles in 2017. Communication with family, friends, and work colleagues is an integral part of life, so it is very important to always stay in touch. The most common communication tool today is the mobile phone. Everyone chooses a smartphone based on their priorities: some give preference to the “fillings,” while for others the appearance of the device is important. However, for the most part, the primary selection criterion is price, and this is where the marketing trick “good product - expensive product” comes into play. Is it so? Is it possible to buy a good smartphone for inexpensive? The rating of smartphones under 10,000 rubles for 2017 will help you get answers to these questions.

LeEco Cool1

The body of the best smartphone from this Chinese company, presented in the price segment up to 10,000 rubles, is made of metal. On the back of LeEco Cool1 there is a dual 13 MP camera, a microphone with noise reduction function is located just above, and an expressive mirror scanner is located below the shooting modules. The front side is protected by tempered glass. We also have sensors and an 8 MP front camera module. At the bottom of the LeEco Cool1 screen there are 3 touch keys. At the top end of the smartphone there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and an infrared port, at the bottom there is a conversational microphone, the main speaker, and in the center there is a USB Type-C connector.

The smartphone has a large 5.5-inch screen, the resolution of which is classic in 2017, 1920x1080 pixels, and the front part is protected by glass. 3 gigs of RAM and 8 cores of the Snapdragon 652 chipset will ensure speed and performance, and 32 gigs of permanent memory will be enough for a large number of media files. The best LeEco smartphone under 10,000 rubles in terms of price/quality ratio supports LTE, so you will only get pleasure from surfing the Internet. The device received a powerful 4060 mAh battery.

The main thing inLeEcoCool1:

• stylish design;
• high-quality assembly and materials;
• one of the smartphones under 10,000 rubles, which has a really good dual camera;

• USB Type-C is a convenient connector, now you don’t have to think about which side to insert the charger into, besides, this type of connector has a higher data transfer speed than microUSB;
• powerful and efficient processor;
• the presence of an infrared port, with the help of which you can control equipment in the house: switch channels on the TV, set the temperature level on the split system, etc.

ZUK Z1

Another good smartphone under 10,000 rubles, which will appeal to many users who prefer good performance. The rear part of the ZUK Z1 is plastic, and there is a 13 MP camera on it. The frame of the device is metal; the sound and power buttons are located on the right edge; on the left is a tray for two SIM cards; headphone jack – top; At the bottom there is a charging connector and a microphone. The camera for selfies is 8 MP, and the shots come out great. A convenient feature of the ZUK Z1 is the Home key, it is rectangular in shape and has a built-in scanner, and there are 2 touch keys on the edges of the main key.

USB-C, capacitive battery (4100 mAh), QuickCharge technology, a bright and high-quality 5.5-inch FullHD display are the undoubted advantages of an inexpensive but good smartphone from ZUK. 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory are more than enough to store important data, and considering the price, this is an incredible plus. The “heart” is a rather old but powerful Snapdragon 801 processor. The ZUK Z1 is not left without support for LTE networks.

The main thing in ZUK Z1:

• The model has plenty of memory;
• The front camera pleases with the quality of the images;
• USB Type-C emphasizes the modernity of the smartphone;
• autonomy up to 2 days;
• fast charging;
• The plastic back panel is a bit disappointing.

Meizu M5

The appearance of the smartphone generally corresponds to the general standards of the Meizu line; it is only worth noting that the body is made of polycarbonate, unlike previous models. Meizu M5 is available in a variety of colors: classic black, white and gold, as well as blue and mint. The first three have a matte finish, the second have a glossy finish. Despite the plastic, the phone looks and feels great in your hands.

Meizu M5 is equipped with a pair of medium cameras (13+5 MP), which will be enough for good amateur photos. The best budget smartphone Meizu under 10,000 rubles received an optimal screen size - 5.2 inches with HD resolution. The front part is protected by 2.5D curved glass. The younger version has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory, the older version has 3+32 GB, respectively.

Despite the budget class, Meizu M5 received a fairly powerful MediaTek MT6750 processor. The 8-core solution can handle any user tasks and most modern games without any problems. It supports an inexpensive 4G smartphone, and the 3070 mAh battery lasts for 1-2 days of moderately active use.

The main thing about Meizu M5:

• thin, light, stylish;
• fits well in the hand;
• the plastic case often heats up noticeably and is quite easily soiled;
• there is a fingerprint scanner;
• The cameras take good pictures for a smartphone under 10,000 rubles.

Oukitel U16 Max

Not just the best smartphone for the company in recent times, but also one of the best-selling at prices up to 10,000 rubles in popular online stores. On the facade of Oukitel U16 Max we have 3 touch buttons, above the screen there is a speaker, a 5 MP front camera and a set of popular sensors. On the back side, the main camera is located in the center. Nearby we see an LED flash and a classic fingerprint scanner.

The smartphone received a combined tray for 2 SIM cards. There is no model left without a headphone port, which other manufacturers are actively abandoning. The body of Oukitel U16 Max is metal with plastic inserts on the back panel. Fans of TV series will be pleased with the smartphone, as it is equipped with a large 6-inch screen, but you shouldn’t expect a more saturated picture, because the resolution is only 1280x720.

The manufacturer gave preference to HD resolution in order to reduce the cost of the Oukitel U16 Max and make it more autonomous. By the way, the phone received a 4000 mAh battery. The solution has an 8-core MediaTek MT6753, which is complemented by 3 gigabytes of RAM. The best smartphone under 10,000 rubles from Oukitel, in addition, is not left without an impressive storage capacity - 32 GB is enough for almost everyone.

The main thing about Oukitel U16 Max:

• small resolution for such a large screen;
• it is large, which may turn off many;
• reasonable camera for the U16 Max price;
• sufficient performance;
• impressive amounts of memory.

Meizu U10

The front and back sides of the smartphone, which looks clearly more expensive than 10,000 rubles, are covered with 2.5 D glass, the frame is metal. The front side and side edges are classic for Meizu, but the back side differs not only in the material, but also in the 13-megapixel camera shifted to the upper left corner. At the top there are only inserts for the antenna, and at the bottom there is a micro-USB, a headphone jack, a microphone and a speaker.

I received an inexpensive smartphone with a 5-inch HD screen made using IPS technology. Meizu U10 is presented in two versions depending on the amount of memory: 2/16 GB or 3/32 GB. The MediaTek MT6750 chip, built on 8 cores, is responsible for performance. The processor of a reliable smartphone has support for LTE networks. But the battery cannot boast of better autonomy, since it is designed for only 2760 mAh.

The main thing in Meizu U10:

• stylish design;
• high-quality assembly;
• fast charging;
• impractical case, because easily soiled, the glass may crack if dropped;
• small amount of battery and memory.

Xiaomi Redmi 4A

Connoisseurs of minimalism and inexpensive smartphones with good batteries in the region of 10,000 rubles are unlikely to pass by this sensational model. A 5-inch HD screen with fairly wide bezels, a budget processor from Qualcomm and an impressive 3120 mAh battery are wrapped in an all-plastic case. One of the best smartphones on the market has only 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, which is the standard for solutions in the price segment up to 10,000 rubles. From the front, Xiaomi Redmi 4A is similar to the older 4X model.

The phone supports LTE, has a good main speaker for the price, but does not have a fingerprint scanner - the place where Xiaomi solutions usually have a fingerprint area is empty. The device received a pair of simple cameras (13+5 MP), which, meanwhile, are capable of giving the owner a good photo in the daytime; at night, of course, things are much worse. Xiaomi Redmi 4A will be a good option if you are not chasing advanced hardware, but you need its primary functions from a mobile phone.

Main Xiaomi Redmi 4A:

• fairly fast charging;
• presence of an infrared port;
• compact dimensions;
• plastic case;

Thanks to its compact size and 4.5-inch screen, the phone is easy to use with one hand.

Be that as it may, the Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) supports LTE networks. The cameras are just budget - and not terrible, but you shouldn’t count on high quality images either.
