10 best smartphones with Aliexpress under 15,000 rubles

The most budget smartphone (among non-protected models) cannot boast of a unique design or features, but it deserves attention. There is a good battery, there is a fingerprint sensor and even face unlock. With the low price of DOOGEE N40 Pro, the service quality is amazing. Delivery takes less than a month, the goods are well packed. On Aliexpress, you can purchase a kit with a protective film or a smart watch. The main disadvantage of the device was the screen.Small letters and numbers are poorly visible on it, and the brightness and contrast are not enough for comfortable use in the sun. At night, another problem arises - the camera is not able to take good photos, not to mention the video.

In the line up to 15,000 rubles, there are often secure smartphones from different manufacturers. One of the most successful was the Cubot KingKong 5 Pro model. It is protected from dust and water according to IP68 and IP69K standards. This means that the gadget will withstand diving to a depth of one and a half meters and falling from the same height. There is support for all popular navigation systems. The powerful battery provides up to 19 hours of gaming and video playback or 53 hours of music listening. You can’t expect miracles from the camera, but it’s quite suitable for selfies and memorable photos. Video stabilization is lame, as is often the case with budget smartphones. Of the shortcomings, only the heavy weight and unstable operation of the fingerprint sensor are distinguished.

UMIDIGI A11 Pro Max is a successful model of 2021 within 15,000 rubles. It boasts a pleasant design and balanced performance. The smartphone has a huge IPS-screen with high resolution, juicy and bright colors. There are two versions for sale with different amounts of RAM. Buyers are advised to choose the extended version, otherwise there will be problems with downloading heavy games and applications. The built-in memory can be expanded using micro SD. The camera with dual LED flash and autofocus takes decent quality pictures. An interesting feature of the device is an infrared thermometer on the rear panel. Biometric technologies are well implemented, but NFC is not here.

The Cubot brand produces not only secure smartphones. Within 15000, you can order a new X50 model or the X30 that appeared a little earlier. It was she who became the best in many criteria, according to reviews. At the first glance at the device, the module of 5 cameras immediately catches the eye. You rarely see this even on AliExpress, although the additional lens had almost no effect on the quality of shooting. Another feature of the phone is the increased amount of RAM compared to competitors. There are cons, but they can hardly be called significant. For example, the package does not include headphones. You will have to buy them separately and remember that the Type-C connector is used here. Also in the reviews there are complaints about poor sound from the microphone.

Blackview BV6600 is another rugged smartphone in the price segment up to 15,000 rubles. Outwardly and with characteristics, it resembles Cubot KingKong 5 Pro, but all functions are implemented a little better. There is a more powerful battery, less weight, support for Galileo navigation and MIL-STD-810G (military tested) protection. Samsung's proprietary autofocus camera takes decent quality photos, and the battery will last up to 792 hours in standby mode. Considering that the device costs a little less than the nearest competitor, its popularity on AliExpress is obvious. The reviews praise the autonomy and strong assembly. The only thing you can complain about is not the most convenient interface and a small screen size.

Of course, even on Aliexpress it is impossible to buy an iPhone 12 or 13 for 15,000 rubles.But the unlocked smartphone of the 7th generation is still for sale. This is the best option for those who are not chasing new technologies, but still want high image quality, rich colors and excellent performance from Apple. Protection against water and dust according to the IP67 standard will allow you not to be afraid for your phone in the gym or on vacation. Thanks to optical stabilization, videos are clear and smooth. There is enough memory, but there is no micro SD slot. The reviews praise the compactness of the iPhone that the seller always puts gifts with the order. Although the quality of accessories is not perfect, it is still a nice bonus.

Within 15,000 rubles on AliExpress, you can buy not only outdated Xiaomi models, but also a relatively fresh Redmi Note 10S. Of course, this will be a version without NFC and with a minimum amount of RAM / ROM. But there is a quad camera and support for fast charging at 33 watts. You don’t have to worry about security: manufacturers have provided for unlocking by face or fingerprint.The case of the device is protected from moisture and dust. One of the downsides of the smartphone was the low refresh rate of the display. In this category, the indicator usually starts at 90 Hz. But brightness up to 1100 cd / m² satisfied the majority of buyers. The performance and photo quality from the camera is also at a high level, given the price of the gadget.

M12 from Samsung Galaxy was released in 2021. This model with a monster battery and NFC support combines a relatively low price and high quality. The display refresh rate is 90 Hz, which means that the picture will be smooth and pleasant. Memory expansion up to 256 GB via micro SD is available. The reviews mention several noticeable disadvantages of a budget smartphone. For example, the quality of pictures from the camera is sometimes inferior even to Xiaomi, not to mention the iPhone. And the speed of Wi-Fi leaves much to be desired, especially considering that the model was released quite recently.But a powerful battery and excellent performance make the Samsung Galaxy M12 one of the top sellers on AliExpress.

Realme Narzo 30 is one of the cheapest models with NFC and 5G support. According to buyers, the quality of the smartphone even exceeds its cost. The screen is large and bright, with a high refresh rate. Even in the sun it will be comfortable to read or watch videos. The processor works stably in resource-intensive applications and games. The battery will last at least a day of active use. Among the numerous reviews, low ratings are extremely rare. Among the minuses, buyers mention only packaging and inconvenient volume control. It is also strange that the camera does not have a wide-angle module - without it, the pictures are flat. But with tuning, you can achieve good results.

The absolute leader in sales and reviews, the first place in the search for “smartphones” on Aliexpress is POCO M3 from a subsidiary of Xiaomi. For less than $15,000, buyers get superb build quality, a 3-camera setup, and a massive battery that provides between 17 and 583 hours of use, depending on load. 18W fast charging is supported and included. The FHD+ display is great for watching videos and playing games. There is more than enough memory, especially given the support for cards up to 512 GB. But the quality of the video unpleasantly surprised the users of the site. The reviews write that it is worse than expected, despite the high resolution of the camera. Another disadvantage is that the screen is not very bright.
