How to choose a smartphone?
How to choose a smartphone? The popularity of the presented models perfectly characterizes their demand and consumer attitude. We would like to give some additional advice from ourselves:
- Smartphones in the budget segment, for example, up to 5000 rubles should not be taken as the main mobile device if there is a budget. But as a spare "dialer" they fit perfectly.
- Smartphones costing from 10,000 to 30,000 rubles can be considered optimal models. Anything higher is already a matter of prestige.
And what about the Chinese models and is it worth paying attention to them? Definitely yes. Huawei and Xiaomi have significantly improved the build quality and are almost as functional as Apple, Samsung, LG. At the same time, the price of Chinese brands is significantly lower.
