An inexpensive Chinese smartphone, which, in a budget of up to 15,000 rubles in 2019, won first place in terms of sales.The phone deserves such attention from users with good hardware, a durable case, interesting colors and a good 4 Ah battery. The camera is also excellent - it has 48 megapixels at its disposal, and state employees did not know such a resolution before. You will receive the final photo with a resolution of 12 megapixels, but it will please you with good detail and overall high image quality. The performance is high - Snapdragon 660 and 4 GB of RAM. There is also a fourth-generation fast charging function from Qualcomm. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, the charging connector is USB Type-C.

Best price

This smartphone has the lowest price among all that are present in our rating. The closest phone is 20% more expensive than this one.

  • Average price: 9989 rubles.
  • Display: 5.45 inches, 1440x720, IPS
  • Memory: 4 GB / 64 GB
  • Camera: 12 + 12 MP / 5 MP
  • Battery: 3000 mAh
  • Weight: 145g

State-owned, albeit with not the best filling, but beautiful, thin-framed, with a dual camera and fresh, constantly updated software. Here is Android 8.1, decorated with Xiaomi's proprietary shell on top. The 5.45-inch diagonal fits easily into any pocket due to thin bezels above and below the screen. There is 4 GB of RAM here, and coupled with a fairly powerful processor from Mediatek, they run “heavy” games and resource-intensive programs.In the reviews, the owners are unhappy with autonomy - the battery lasts up to one and a half days with everyday moderate use. Also, users note that the case is slippery and needs a case, and some dream of NFC. At a price of up to 15,000 rubles, the listed disadvantages are forgivable, so the model deserves to be one of the best among Chinese creations.

Pros and cons
  • Compact dimensions
  • Light weight
  • Weak battery
  • Outdated OS version

Top 8. OnePlus Nord N100

The smoothest picture

This is the only model in our top with an increased screen refresh rate. Thanks to a frequency of 90 Hz, the screen shows a smooth image without jerking, even if there are sharp and fast movements in the frame.

  • Average price: 15350 rubles.
  • Display: 6.52 inches, 2400x1080, 90Hz, IPS
  • Memory: 4 GB / 64 GB
  • Camera: 13 + 2 + 2 MP / 8 MP
  • Battery: 5000 mAh
  • Weight: 188g

One of the first OnePlus smartphones that you can buy new for 15,000 rubles. Previously, the company produced exclusively flagships, but the first line of state employees turned out to be excellent, but typically not very popular. For this money, you will get a stylish device that has an accent on the screen: it is large enough, with high resolution, a high-quality matrix and a screen refresh rate increased to 90 Hz. Yes, in a smartphone for 15,000 rubles! But the rest of the characteristics are not surprising: the camera is three-module, but the maximum resolution is limited to 13 megapixels. The front camera is simple. Here the battery is large - its capacity is enough for you to use the charger not every day.

Pros and cons
  • High screen refresh rate
  • Powerful battery
  • Stylish look
  • Weak camera
  • humble processor

Top 7. HUAWEI P30 lite 4/128GB

  • Average price: 14990 rubles.
  • Display: 6.15 inches, 2312x1080, IPS
  • Memory: 4 GB / 128 GB
  • Camera: 24 + 8 + 2 MP / 32 MP
  • Battery: 3340 mAh
  • Weight: 159g

An amazing smartphone for the money. It fits comfortably in the hand, does not feel big, takes cool photos. The screen is what you pay attention to first of all in the case of the P30 Lite. It is bright, juicy, detailed, with a huge margin of brightness and large viewing angles. Yes, the black is not as saturated as that of AMOLED matrices, but the eyes do not get tired of the screen: there is no PWM effect. There is so much memory here that you do not need to regularly clean up your photo collection and delete applications that you rarely use. The audio jack is in place, so you can seamlessly connect wired headphones with a standard jack. Photos come out relatively good even in poor lighting, and daytime shots are even more pleasing.

Pros and cons
  • fast charging
  • Optimal size
  • High screen resolution
  • slippery hull
  • No case included
  • Bad bundled headphones

Top 6. HUAWEI P smart Z 4/64GB

Clean monolithic screen without cutouts or protrusions

This smartphone has a front camera hidden in the periscope, which, if necessary, leaves the upper edge.

  • Average price: 14250 rubles.
  • Display: 6.59 inches, 2340x1080, 60Hz, IPS
  • Memory: 4 GB / 64 GB
  • Camera: 16 + 2 MP / 16 MP
  • Battery: 4000 mAh
  • Weight: 197g

The phone, which is called one of the best among immigrants from China. The Chinese manufacturer installed a screen with a diagonal of 6.59 inches and at the same time managed to achieve compact dimensions and good ergonomics. All thanks to the elongated shape of the display - 19.5: 9 - frameless design and the transfer of the front camera sensor to the sliding panel. The battery capacity of 4000 mAh hints at the long-term capabilities of the smartphone. Huawei's Kirin 710 processor paired with 4GB of RAM provide enough performance for daily tasks, moderate gaming, and smooth app switching. Android 9 is installed on board, so even under the most unfavorable set of circumstances for the Chinese brand, the operating system will be relevant for several more years. This is a great option for those who want something inexpensive but stylish, creative, functional and with a big screen.

Pros and cons
  • High-quality screen without cutouts
  • Long battery life
  • Comfortable branded shell
  • Lots of unnecessary pre-installed programs
  • Combined SIM card slot
  • Back panel scratches easily

Top 5. DOOGEE S58 Pro

The most durable

The only shock-resistant smartphone in our top. It is protected from water and dust according to the IP68 standard, and is also endowed with a shock-resistant housing.

  • Average price: 12260 rubles.
  • Display: 5.7 inches, 2280x1080, IPS
  • Memory: 6 GB / 64 GB
  • Camera: 16 + 8 + 5 MP / 16 MP
  • Battery: 5180 mAh
  • Weight: 285 g

A budget shockproof smartphone that boasts a high screen resolution, a three-module camera and good battery life.It also has a fingerprint sensor. The device is heavier than other representatives of our rating, but the weight is justified by the protective properties. So, the device is not afraid of water and dust and is able to withstand shock loads. The most important drawback of this model is unfinished software. The menu contains untranslated elements (a little), the functionality of Android is inferior, and the proprietary shell from the Chinese manufacturer does not expand it properly.

Pros and cons
  • shockproof housing
  • Waterproof
  • Working on Android 10
  • Raw soft
  • Heavy
  • Thick frames

Top 4. realme C15 4/64GB

The most powerful battery

This smartphone features an increased battery capacity to 6000 mAh, and due to the not too large screen and moderate processor appetite, the battery life is longer than that of competitors.

  • Average price: 11990 rubles.
  • Display: 6.5 inches, 1600x720, 60Hz, IPS
  • Memory: 4 GB / 64 GB
  • Camera: 13 + 8 + 2 + 2 MP / 8 MP
  • Battery: 6000 mAh
  • Weight: 209g

An excellent inexpensive Chinese smartphone with a powerful battery and expectedly low other technical characteristics. For the budget price, you have to pay with a resolution reduced to HD + and the capabilities of the main camera cut down to 13 megapixels. But there is an NFC module, the current operating system is Android 10, and even bluetooth version 5.0, while many competitors can be found 4.2. The performance is very high, but based on the chipset from Mediatek.Its cores are enough to play light games and use a smartphone at home with relative comfort - programs start with a slight delay.

Pros and cons
  • Powerful battery
  • Has an NFC chip
  • Good equipment - there is a protective film on the screen
  • Quick fingerprint unlock
  • Small margin of brightness
  • Micro-USB connector for charging

Pre-flagship solution with Chinese roots.

The design will please fans of creative solutions - among the colors there are both premium options and non-standard ones, and classic black is provided for minimalists. NFC module in place. The 4500 mAh battery lasts up to three days of work without charging. The camera is praised even by professional photographers - it works off its money.
