Among the entire range of inexpensive smartphones on Aliexpress, there are not only products of budget companies (DOOGEE, LEAGOO, Blackview), but also well-known brands, such as Xiaomi, Samsung or Apple. The main problem is that sellers put up goods that have been repaired with a markdown of 40-50%, and what defects they had and what was replaced is not indicated.Xiaomi, on the other hand, managed to push its product to sellers at a relatively low price, which increased the demand for many popular models. The rest of the less well-known companies supply absolutely fresh and inexpensive smartphones without brand markups.

To choose a really high-quality budget smartphone, it is important to pay attention to the technical specifications: the diagonal and resolution of the display, camera capabilities, the amount of built-in and RAM, as well as the type and number of cores in the processor. An equally significant criterion is autonomy. It usually depends on the capacity of the battery. We included in the top inexpensive smartphones, the average price of which is in the range of 5000-10000 rubles. Cheaper models are also found on Aliexpress, but they rarely turn out to be the best in quality and performance.
