Android 9 is waiting for you inside, and this is another reason to choose this particular state employee among other representatives of the Chinese Huawei brand. It is not known how the “war” of the vendor with the United States will end, so you should be prepared for the fact that Android will not provide updates for smartphones with the Huawei and Honor logo.

The battery is one of the best sides of Redmi 7. Here, 4000 mAh, which, subject to an economical processor, is enough for two to three days. The most important point is the possibility of marriage. Features and price of the model are excellent. The only pity is that often there are models with marriage - the reviews warn that if the screen is on, but the sensor is not touched for several minutes (for example, when watching a video), the touchscreen stops recognizing pressing.To wake him up, you have to drag your finger across the screen for several seconds or turn the screen off and on. The problem is easily solved in service centers and occurs infrequently. But before buying, please check the model.

And the manufacturer also claims that the smartphone complies with the IP6x protection class, they just did not conduct official tests, as this would significantly increase the price of the device. Numerous crash tests and reviews by independent experts confirm that the smartphone is surprisingly durable. We also tested the first representative of the Redmi sub-brand - we liked it.

Stylish monoblock in a bright gradient case and with remarkable characteristics. The device is designed for young people, so it has a good dual camera with 13 and 2 megapixels, a large screen with a diagonal of 6.21 inches and an excellent resolution of 2340x1080.

When you first turn on you will be greeted by Android 9, so even if the device is not updated due to the war between Huawei and the United States, the version of the operating system will be relevant for a long time. Reviews are full of admiration for premium design that looks expensive. Not enough powerful battery is leveled by fast charging. The most important thing you should know before buying is that this is a non-gaming model, and even when playing light games, the case gets warm. And then there's the obsolete micro-USB port.

Smartphone with Mediatek Helio P22 processor and 5000 mAh battery. Works on the Android 10 platform. Without recharging, it lives from 2 to 5 days. This model is new in 2020, equipped with a module for contactless payment.The screen is juicy, but some users may not have enough brightness. The case is plastic, but it looks decent, especially in a gradient green tint. The smartphone is equipped with a triple camera 13 MP / 5 MP / 2 MP with autofocus. With sufficient lighting, it produces quite suitable photographs. There is a triple slot for two SIMs and a memory card. Copes with multitasking, but in demanding games it still freezes.

The model has one big drawback: the lack of Google services. If we discard this minus, then the phone is quite worth the money. But for those who are used to using GPlay and other services, Y6p will clearly disappoint.

Budget phone from Samsung with a 5000 mAh battery and fast charging function. A triple camera 3 MP / 2 MP / 5 MP and a neat front camera shoot on 4-ku. The battery lives up to 3-4 days. The mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor copes with basic tasks, but it is clearly not suitable for serious games. There is a responsive fingerprint scanner, NFC and a modern USB Type-C connector.

This smartphone is a good solution for a budget of up to 12,000 rubles. However, the model still has a number of shortcomings. These include boring cheap design, mediocre cameras, front camera without autofocus. M11 is more suitable for those who need a reliable workhorse. But for gamers and users who are demanding on photo quality and performance, the smartphone will not work. For the money that Samsung asks, you can buy a more interesting, albeit Chinese, gadget.

Smartphone with Google services and support for contactless payment. Lightweight and compact: weighs only 150 g. The battery does not have a particularly large capacity.Here it is only 3020 mAh, but at the same time it gives quite decent autonomy: up to 2 days on a single charge. The cameras are simple, the front camera is 8 MP, the main lens is 13 MP. But the quality of shooting corresponds to the segment up to 12,000 rubles. Photos come out detailed, without glut. True, only in good lighting.

Performance is the sore point of the device. As soon as the smart is loaded with tasks, it slows down terribly. Still, MediaTek Helio P35 does not have the necessary power.

Model with NFC, 5000 mAh battery and a large stock of built-in memory. 3 GB of RAM is enough for both basic tasks and games. The MediaTek Helio G70 processor pulls both multitasking and rather demanding programs. True, at high settings, the sensor begins to dull. The quality of pictures and video is excellent for the price category up to 12,000 rubles. The smartphone has a triple module 12 MP / 2 MP / 2 MP and a 5 MP front camera. They shoot decently, but only with sufficient lighting. The display is large: it is convenient to watch videos, surf the Internet and play games.

Disadvantages: pre-installed garbage in the firmware, falling off Wi-Fi, trimming the sensor. Sometimes cameras overexpose, oversaturate frames. The smartphone is not bad, but to adapt it for yourself, you have to tinker with the settings.

The model is based on the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 processor with a 5000 mAh battery. The smartphone is balanced, has a solid body without backlash. Yes, it is made of plastic, but this material looks expensive due to overflows. The screen is good, the resolution is quite suitable for both movies and games.The dual main camera 13 MP / 2 MP and the front camera 8 MP shoot at 4-plus, but in the dark the quality drops noticeably.

Among the shortcomings, users note the looseness of the screen picture, pre-installed applications that will have to be removed, and the lack of NFC. Some owners are not satisfied with the sound quality: the speaker beeps a little. But this smartphone was not created for listening to music. Overall, the Vivo Y11 is well worth the money. In some stores you can buy it for 7-8 thousand rubles.
