Budget smartphones from the price segment from 5000 to 7000 rubles have limited functionality. These devices are designed for navigation, calls and Internet surfing.

As a “dialer”, the gadget is quite good, but, according to reviews, when communicating on a speakerphone, the voice quality is noticeably worse than that of other models from a similar segment.
