Phones up to 6000 rubles are one of the most budget devices. It is not worth setting large-scale tasks for them and trying to get good quality pictures: gadgets are far from being created for this. Inexpensive smartphones are only capable of performing basic tasks. Calls, correspondence in messengers, periodic surfing in the browser - this is what devices from the "budget" segment are intended for. It is these smartphones that are worth buying, for example, for pensioners, younger students or as a spare gadget.Some cheap devices come with a bright display, ample RAM/storage, and contactless payment as a nice bonus.

True, in the navigator mode, the smart quickly loses its charge: the battery lives up to 12 hours. The state employee has a fingerprint scanner, a display with good resolution and simple cameras. The BL5500 Lite has a lot of disadvantages. The biggest one is marriage. But even despite this, smart deserves attention, if only because of its low price.

According to reviews, this gadget with dignity endures falls from a height of up to 6 meters and frequent bathing. In addition, the BV5500 holds a charge for a long time - up to 3 days in the call mode. With navigation, the battery sits down many times faster. Also, the model is equipped with a durable screen with a good resolution: the information on it is visible even under the bright sun. This smart would be the best in the selection, but the overall picture is overshadowed by a weak slowing down processor, coupled with occasional defects. But even despite the quite tangible disadvantages, the BV5500 is an excellent solution for novice users.

Pros and cons
  • Water protection
  • Impact-resistant one-piece body
  • Bright screen that won't fade in the sun
  • The navigator quickly eats up the charge

Inexpensive gadget in a metal case

An interesting design and a metal back panel make this model one of the most attractive in the selection.

  • Country: China
  • Average cost: 4290 rubles.

The model has a combined plastic + metal case, a small screen with a resolution of 1440x720. Also, the device is equipped with an 8 megapixel camera, which shoots on 4-ku during the day on the street. Complaints here are only performance - a simple MediaTek MT6580 processor, 1 GB of RAM and only 8 GB of permanent memory will satisfy only an undemanding user.

Pros and cons
  • Excellent autonomy in standby mode
  • Almost bare Android
  • Dedicated microSD slot
  • loud speaker
  • There are defective devices
  • Very small amount of RAM and RAM

  • Battery: 5000 mAh

An affordable gadget in a metal case. The smartphone is equipped with an NFC module and a fingerprint scanner that work almost instantly, as well as a display with good color reproduction. The gadget looks more expensive than its real cost: a great option for those who love minimalism and the pleasant coldness of metal in their hands. True, this cold ends when even not the most demanding games and programs are launched. The reason lies in the processor. The old SC9863A does not have a cooling system, it is designed for basic needs. Basically - calls, SMS and correspondence in instant messengers.

Pros and cons
  • Solid metal case
  • Fast fingerprint scanner
  • Adequate cost
  • Smooth OS
  • Good screen color reproduction
  • The case is heated
  • Glitchy proximity sensor

A smartphone with the most simple functions and an NFC module that works without failures. Equipped with a bright screen and a budget processor. Runs on a clean Android GO shell. The body of the gadget is completely plastic, but this does not make it less attractive in appearance: the device is quite nice. The back cover does not bend, the 2000 mAh battery, like most cheap phones, is removable. The smart also has 2 cameras, but here they are installed simply to be: you can’t even get even more or less detailed photos from them. And not for that Impress Luck was created. Judging by the reviews, this device perfectly copes with the tasks of a simple dialer with NFC - you can’t get more from it.

Pros and cons
  • Excellent 4G reception
  • Fits comfortably in the hand
  • Android GO without software garbage
  • Precise geopositioning
  • Loud ringer and good vibration
  • Bad camera

In addition, the phone has a removable battery and a loud speaker. The gadget is not in vain considered one of the best state employees: it combines high build quality, affordable price and adequate functionality for this segment. Of course, the SC9832E processor is very far from its more powerful counterparts, but it copes with basic tasks perfectly well. But the lack of RAM is felt quite acutely: the gadget thinks when you turn on almost any application.

Pros and cons
  • Large storage capacity with the ability to combine with microSD
  • NFC works flawlessly
  • Nice design
  • Loud speaker
  • Reliable cellular signal reception
  • Bad GPS module
  • Low RAM: slows down when loading applications

According to the reviews, it is comfortable to use the phone at almost any level of lighting: the eyes do not get tired, all the information is clearly visible. Smart runs on a processor that was released in 2015, but there are no obvious brakes - 2 GB of RAM pulls out all the basic tasks. The only serious problem with the S300 Pro is the low battery capacity. Although according to the manufacturer, the battery capacity is 2000 mAh, in fact it is not higher than 1000-1500 mAh.

Pros and cons
  • Clear screen without graininess
  • Removable battery
  • Works without lags

  • Battery: 3020 mAh

Chinese smartphone with a beautiful skin-like back cover. There is also a modification with a monolithic plastic case. Smart is equipped with a nice bright display with a normal (by budget standards) HD + resolution. The phone is built on a weak MediaTek MT6739 processor, so you should not place serious hopes on it.The gadget quickly catches GPS satellites, keeps in touch well and can even take pictures: the pictures are quite tolerable for a device from the segment up to 6000 rubles. True, it will not work to run 2-3 applications on it at the same time - there is too little RAM. The system cuts games, freezes at the slightest load. Therefore, a smart can only perform 1 any task. This device is a kind of grandmother phone that is suitable for novice users and younger students.

  • Good autonomy: up to 2 days on 1 charge
  • Auto focus camera
  • Bright and clear display
  • Compact and lightweight body

This Russian-Chinese smartphone is one of the best solutions with a large screen in the price segment up to 6000 rubles. The budget device, unlike its other "brothers", is equipped with RAM with an adequate amount - 3GB. This is enough for basic tasks, and for calls, and even for games. The display of the model is bright, judging by the reviews, it does not fade in the sun. The processor here is relatively fresh: MT6739 was released in 2017. Its only drawback is overheating. Under load, the rear panel heats up, and on some instances of the model even to critical values. Another couple of drawbacks that you can put up with are the ill-conceived volume setting and the poor sound quality of the speaker.

Pros and cons
  • Availability of contactless payment and 4G support

A smartphone with a large HD + screen: it is convenient to watch movies on it, and a good loud sound makes the process even more comfortable. The display is bright, but on the street it still starts to fade, however, the information remains readable. NFC works great, does not make you blush at the checkout when trying to pay. The phone is built on the ultra-budget Spreadtrum Unisoc SC9863A, but with dignity pulls out work with several applications at once and light games. But even despite its popularity, the model is not without flaws. Smart gets warm in games, and users sometimes encounter defective devices.

  • Up to 2 days of intensive use without recharging
  • There is an NFC module, a fingerprint scanner and face recognition
  • Good amount of storage
  • The camera shoots well in daylight
  • Display fades in the sun

    Well, here everyone can choose according to their requirements, the design is important to someone, and the camera is to someone. It’s a pity there is no golden mean, so that everything would be ok, not only there is a design or a selfie camera, etc.

    do you mean balanced model? Yes, there are plenty of them, and BQ has them

    Vladimir,
    Well, definitely not the ones in the top. They are more for long term use. Batteries are capacious, but everything else falls short

    Quote from parrot
    Up to 6 thousand Wileyfox Spark is good - first of all, because the smartphone is under warranty, and this is for cheap, fragile devices - more important quality than the number of pixels in the camera

    and bq as if out of warranty? This is Chinese with Ali. Especially the Russian brand. and Wileyfox Spark is inferior in many ways and its battery is generally skinny
  3. Sergey
    Pavel Marchenko,
    Why just a little redmi? This is like an alternative to flagships from a brand, and even then it is very dubious. There are many other manufacturers, in general, there is something to compare

    Sergey,
    What for example, Chinese with Ali? It is better to pay extra and take a proven brand than to buy a cat in a bear
  4. Pavel Marchenko
    Only bq is normal, the rest is with jokes, and do you really believe that redmi has at least some kind of stabilization?

    Stas,
    Norm, I drove with bq for 2 years until I drowned

    parrot,
    For cheap ones, the main thing is that they are not fragile, but everyone has a guarantee, besides, Vilifoks have no warranty service

    I liked BQ in terms of characteristics and price, I wonder how it is in practice, so to speak
    1. Novel
      BQ makes good phones, they are not expensive and work without glitches

      BQ is a good brand, I know from my own experience.
