10 best smartphones under 30,000 rubles

A reliable smartphone from Nokia, which turned out to be extremely balanced. The manufacturer promises to send software updates for three years, so the device will be with the latest software all this time. Technical characteristics also allow the gadget to perform its duties quickly and without lags. So, a fresh Snapdragon 480 processor is installed here, there is 8 GB of RAM.

In the reviews, they are satisfied with the Google Assistant button - by clicking on it, a voice assistant is launched, with which you can call the desired subscriber without touching the phone. But there may be problems with it - for some users, the button has broken, it just stopped being pressed. The battery can withstand two days of very active use. If you are looking for a solid smartphone within 30,000 rubles, take a closer look at this model.

This device could be the best in the top devices in the budget up to 30,000 rubles, but it has one serious drawback. The smartphone is very large, and because of this, many users opt for competitors that are worse, but more comfortable in size. But it has the most powerful 108 megapixel camera in this segment, excellent performance and a solid screen. It's AMOLED based, with low PWM that doesn't get in the way, and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Many users do not notice the advantages of increased hertz - they do not feel the difference compared to the usual frequency of 60 Hz. Always On Display is somehow inferior - it will not replace the notification indicator. But the main claim of the phone owners to the manufacturer is the incorrect operation of the proximity sensor. During a conversation, the screen may light up, and then the sensor recognizes ear touches.

Cool smartphone for advanced users.For an amount of up to 30,000 rubles, you will receive a monoblock in gradient overflows, in the body of which the manufacturer has placed a dual camera 16 + 24 MP, 4 GB of RAM, an NFC module, an IR transmitter for controlling home appliances, the Kirin 970 processor is productive and nimble. The front camera will delight selfie lovers - it has 24 megapixels. The sound is clear and loud - this was noted by users of the smartphone.

Of the good things, there is also a USB Type-C connector, a fast charging function, an audio jack, and an excellent screen with an IPS matrix. And compact size is the best option for those who do not like "shovels". The biggest drawback: fingerprint scanner glitches. Even in the reviews, users blame the complete protective film on the screen - it is quickly scratched, and the software for the camera - it needs to be improved, although even in the current situation the photos come out decent.

Now Apple's smartphone easily fits into the budget of 30,000 rubles. This is the best that Apple can offer for this amount: there is a modern design, a contactless payment module, iOS 10 operating system from the box, 32 GB of internal memory. An important factor for those who prefer "apple" devices is design. Here it still remains the same, traditional and “correct” – with a round button under the screen, with a durable metal case in different colors, and most importantly, with compact dimensions.

The disadvantages are obvious: a weak battery, which is barely enough even for daylight hours, only 2 GB of RAM, a screen resolution of 1334x750 - in 2019, even Chinese state employees have a higher resolution. iPhone 7 is not about high performance and better features.This is about status, pleasant management, the iOS operating system and ecosystem goodies.

A smartphone balanced in all characteristics, which is characterized by very high performance, a good camera for four modules, an NFC module and a large battery. On the screen, the South Korean manufacturer made a special emphasis. Here is a chic AMOLED matrix, excellent oleophobic coating, high resolution (2400x1080). There is Gorilla Glass v3 scratch protection, which, according to the results of many tests, turned out to be stronger than newer versions of the coating.

The camera shoots at a resolution of 64 megapixels. At your disposal, in addition to the main 64-megapixel module, there will be a wide-angle lens, a macro and a depth sensor. The front camera is no frills, but shoots in high resolution - 32 megapixels. The smartphone also boasts a large 4.5 Ah battery that can be charged quickly. If you love the OneUI shell and want a smartphone on it, then the Galaxy A71 will be the perfect solution against the background of other Samsungs in our top best phones under 30,000 rubles.

Another model from a Chinese company, which again pleased us with a suitable device. The basis of the smartphone was a powerful quad-camera that shoots at a resolution of 64 megapixels, a high-quality AMOLED screen with a diagonal of 6.47 inches and Full HD + resolution, as well as a powerful battery. The battery received a capacity of as much as 5.26 Ah, so you can not charge MI Note 10 Lite for several days.

The performance here is excellent - a fast processor adapted for gaming is responsible for it. This Snapdragon 730G is characterized by eight cores, two of which are overclocked to 2200 MHz. Graphics are the prerogative of the Adreno 618 video accelerator, which does its job perfectly, coupled with 6 GB of RAM and a processor, providing a high frame rate in games. Even in this smartphone, which is called one of the best among models under 30,000 rubles, there is an NFC module. If you're looking for a gaming phone with an AMOLED display and a big battery, but at an affordable price, then this is the one for you.

A smartphone with near-flagship capabilities and, perhaps, the most stylish appearance, an excellent camera and a convenient size. The device does not feel large, sits well in the palm of your hand, pleasant to the touch. Performance is top for the money. It has a proprietary Kirin 980 processor from the flagship line, and it will allow you to enjoy not only the smooth operation of Android 9, but also gaming heavy games with a normal FPS level and good graphics detail.

The camera has four modules, it can do a lot. Sensors include a wide-angle lens, a macro lens, and a depth sensor. The aperture size of the modules is different, so the photos are excellent, no matter what you shoot: portraits, landscapes, macro shots. In reviews, this smartphone is called the best choice for those who want a smartphone that is as similar as possible to the flagship, but for up to 30,000 rubles. Honor 20 is just such a case.

An alternative to Redmi Note 10 Pro from Xiaomi. Realme has more convenient dimensions - the screen diagonal is 6.4 inches, but the main feature - a 108-megapixel camera - has remained in place. Other indicators are also normal. For example, the battery can last a day or two, the processor has gaming potential, so moderate games will run with good FPS and medium or high graphics settings.

6 GB of RAM, enough for several years to come. Built-in - 128 GB. The device itself runs on Android 11. The reviews note that the fingerprint sensor often slows down, but the situation is saved by quick face recognition. Realmi has a proprietary shell with some features: there are many useful features and the ability to customize everything for yourself, but some points are confusing: for example, the location of photos in the gallery comes from the oldest, and not vice versa.

If you were looking for the most powerful smartphone in the budget up to 30,000 rubles, then here it is - Poco X3 Pro. Not everyone likes the model in terms of design and size, but the technical characteristics at this price attract even those who look askance at the large logo on the back cover or the bulging puck with cameras.

Everything is fine in the phone: the processor and the top Snapdragon 860 series, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of internal memory, a powerful battery, 4 cameras, IP53 water resistance. The reviews separately mention fast 33-watt charging, loud speakers and speed. The disadvantages that experts and owners of the X3 PRO have identified are rather weak cameras compared to competitors, a plastic case, an inscription on the back that spoils the view, and the lack of wireless charging.For this money, with such performance, it is easy to put up with shortcomings, especially since there are no alternatives in the budget up to 30,000 rubles.

One of the most successful Samsung smartphones from the middle price category. The device boasts a flagship-like screen, a good four-module camera with optical stabilization, and even dust and moisture protection according to the IP67 standard. Details about the screen: 6.5-inch diagonal, high resolution Full HD +, AMOLED matrix with its correct blacks and Always On Display, and as a cherry on the cake, a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which gives a more fluid image.

The processor is not the latest, but with gaming potential, so for any non-gamer it will be more than enough. The device is running Android 11 - yes, the software is not yet without glitches, but the most serious problems have already been fixed. A52 deserves the title of top for its money. Among the shortcomings - the basic version with only 4 GB of RAM, rather large size, plastic case.
