Most owners of Russian smartphones do not even realize that they are using domestic development. The thing is that domestic brands are in no hurry to advertise their origin, and also prefer to entrust the production of phones to Chinese factories. In many ways, this is why our smartphones are difficult to distinguish from Chinese competitors: similar design solutions, the widespread use of MTK and Unisoc (Spreadtrum) processors, traditionally weak batteries and software that has not been perfected.There are also many positive aspects: the use of up-to-date and clean versions of the OS, the presence of a module for contactless payment even in inexpensive models, durable cases and often the absence of pre-installed programs. Also, do not forget about another important advantage of domestic devices - low price.
Having decided to purchase a smartphone from a Russian manufacturer, it is important to carefully check it before buying. What for? It's simple: among domestic devices, oddly enough, the largest number of defective gadgets. If we compare our devices with Chinese ones in terms of the percentage of marriage, then the latter clearly win. Therefore, excessive vigilance in the store, although it will take a lot of time, will help you save money and avoid the frustration of using low-quality products.
But not everything is so bad with Russian smartphones. Nevertheless, among the brands there are good phone models with a minimum amount of marriage. That is what we have collected in this collection. Gadgets are represented by 5 domestic manufacturers: INOI, Highscreen, VERTEX, DIGMA and BQ.
Top 10. AYYA T1 4/64 GB
An excellent choice for those who are afraid that their smartphone will be used for eavesdropping.
- Average price: 22,000 rubles.
- Display: IPS 6.55″ 1600x720
- Cameras: main 13 + 5 MP; frontal 13 MP
- NFC: yes
- Battery: 4000 mAh
An interesting instance, created on the wave of our country's return to the topic of import substitution. But if many other Russian smartphones almost do not differ from their Chinese counterparts, then this cannot be said about AYYA T1. There is one interesting detail here, which is not found in other devices of this kind.We are talking about a physical switch, thanks to which you can distinguish between a camera and a microphone. This is necessary for those people who are afraid that these smartphone design elements will be used by malicious applications. Otherwise, this is a typical budget device with a modest dual camera, quite a working NFC chip and a fairly powerful processor from MediaTek.
- There is a fingerprint sensor and FM radio
- Body made of metal and plastic
- Not the weakest chipset
- Overpriced
- Some specimens sin with a non-working camera
- Modest display resolution
Top 9. INOI 2 Lite 1/8 GB
This phone is the cheapest in the selection. Its cost is only 3706 rubles.
- Average price: 5,500 rubles.
- Display: TFT 5″ 854x480
- Cameras: main 5 MP; frontal 2 MP
- NFC: no
- Battery: 2500 mAh
A smartphone with a 5-inch screen and a budget, prone to inversion matrix. The 5 MP camera is only suitable for capturing text documentation. The device has only 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in memory, in addition, the 4-core MediaTek MT6580 is responsible for the performance of the model. The characteristics are weak, but for calls and instant messengers they are quite enough. Yes, the smartphone looks quite simple against the background of other gadgets from Russian manufacturers, but it justifies its price by 100%. If we discard the shortcomings, more caused by the ultra-budget segment, then the device is quite suitable for daily use as a regular “dialer” with smart features.
- Firmware without ads and junk apps
- Screen withstands frequent drops
- Very low price
- Good durable case
- Little RAM and built-in memory
- Weak Flash
- Screen with poor viewing angles
- Non-repairable: easier to buy a new one than to find spare parts
Top 8. INOI 7 2020 2/16 GB
The functionality of the domestic smart has the ability to record a conversation without the need to install additional software.
- Average price: 8,000 rubles.
- Display: IPS 6.22″ 1520x720
- Cameras: main 8 + 0.3 MP; frontal 5 MP
- NFC: no
- Battery: 3000 mAh
State employee with a large screen from a domestic manufacturer. The phone copes with simple games, Internet surfing and watching videos. Batteries of 3000 mAh, according to reviews, are enough for 2-3 days of calls and occasional communication in instant messengers. The Unisoc SC9832E processor and 2 GB of RAM are responsible for performance here: the gadget is more suitable for undemanding users than sophisticated gamers. The model became popular thanks to a large display with a good picture, but the rest of the "stuffing" still let us down a little. Some smart phone owners complain about a very quiet speaker and the lack of NFC, and some complain about a marriage that comes across. True, even despite its shortcomings, the gadget remains in demand among Russian users.
- Has automatic call recording
- Consumes battery power economically
- Large display with vibrant colors
- Dedicated memory card slot up to 128 GB
- No fast charging and contactless payment
- single band wifi
- Quiet speaker
Top 7. VERTEX Impress Luck NFC (4G) 1/8 GB
The gadget weighs only 145 g - this is the smallest indicator in the selection. The phone fits comfortably in your hand and takes up minimal space in your pocket.
- Average price: 7,090 rubles.
- Display: IPS 5″ 854x480
- Cameras: main 5 MP; frontal 2 MP
- NFC: yes
- Battery: 2000 mAh
An ultra-budget Chinese-made Russian smartphone with NFC, dual-band Wi-Fi and a durable plastic case. Built on a quad-core MediaTek MT6739 processor, runs on a stripped-down Android 8.1. There are practically no third-party "junk" applications here, which makes it easier to use a smart device with weak hardware. 1 GB of RAM is only enough for calls, instant messengers and light casual games. But the built-in memory of 8 GB runs out very quickly. But for file storage, you can use microSD up to 32 GB, for which there is a separate slot. According to reviews, the gadget is considered the best solution among ultra-inexpensive devices with contactless payment. True, the overall picture is spoiled by a weak old processor, a small amount of battery and practically no cameras.
- Compact dimensions
- Dual Band WiFi
- Excellent call quality
- No junk software
- Cameras for 3
- Freezes when switching between applications
- Weak battery
Top 6. DIGMA LINX RAGE 4G 2/16 GB
This unpretentious model supports the 4th generation of mobile communication and provides a fast Internet connection. Among devices with similar support, LINX RAGE from DIGMA is one of the most inexpensive.
- Average price: 7,990 rubles.
- Display: IPS 5.7″ 1440x720
- Cameras: main 8 + 2 MP; frontal 5 MP
- NFC: no
- Battery: 3300 mAh
A phone from a Russian brand with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage, a sensitive touchscreen and a screen with optimal brightness. Weak hardware in the face of the budget 4-core SC9850 processor does not prevent the smart from simultaneously working with several applications without freezes: in the reviews, users say there are no lags. However, as soon as the storage is full, the gadget starts to behave not quite adequately. But after a deep cleaning, the smartphone returns to life again. The owners have only 3 complaints about the model: a lost connection with MTS sim cards, marriage and poor sound quality from the speaker. True, these shortcomings do not make the gadget less interesting. With other mobile operators, the smartphone works without failures, and defective devices are quite rare.
- Clear communication without interruptions during calls
- Sensitive screen
- Good color reproduction
- Flash on front and rear cameras
- Flat sound from the speaker
- Sometimes there is a marriage
- There are communication problems when using MTS SIM cards
Top 5. DIGMA Linx Pay 4G 2/16 GB
One of the most inexpensive devices among those that can make contactless payments.
- Average price: 7,600 rubles.
- Display: IPS 5.5″ 1440x720
- Cameras: main 8 + 0.3 MP; frontal 2 MP
- NFC: yes
- Battery: 2900 mAh
Created on the basis of the MediaTek MT6739 processor, the device is designed to solve basic tasks. The eighth version of the "green robot" provides him with a job. Access to the Internet is carried out through fourth-generation networks. And if you're indoors, it's easier to use 802.11n Wi-Fi.And do not be embarrassed by the average data transfer rate - a high Russian smartphone with such modest characteristics is not needed. Most of all, buyers praise the device in their reviews for the NFC chip, which other manufacturers of budget dialers usually refuse. The creators of DIGMA Linx Pay 4G have not forgotten about the fingerprint scanner either.
- OS stability
- FM radio and fingerprint sensor available
- Not the worst display
- Insufficient memory
- Would like a newer version of Android

Top 4. BQ 6630L Magic L 3/32 GB
The display diagonal of this budget smart phone from the Russian brand is 6.53 inches. This is the highest rating.
- Average price: 11,000 rubles.
- Display: IPS 6.53″ 1600x720
- Cameras: main 12 + 0.40 MP; frontal 8 MP
- NFC: yes
- Battery: 4920 mAh
One of the best (according to users) Russian smartphones. The gadget is equipped with a 4920 mAh energy-intensive battery, built on an 8-core Unisoc SC9863A processor and has 3 GB of RAM. In addition, 25 GB of 32 GB of internal memory are available to the user (the rest is occupied by the system). A bonus is a separate slot for microSD up to 256 GB. There is also a large 6.53″ screen with excellent anti-glare properties: the picture is clearly visible even under bright sun. All the "stuffing" is packed in a beautiful case, thanks to which the smart looks very stylish and expensive. However, this is where its advantages end. Due to the periodic loss of a cellular signal and the frankly weak main camera, the phone is far from its more popular counterparts.
- Nice bright body
- Nimble fingerprint scanner
- Display with good resolution, not fading in the sun
- Headphone jack on the top of the case
- Has USB OTG support
- Lost connection intermittently
- Wide screen chin
- Weak main camera

Top 3. BQ 6040L Magic 2/32 GB
This smartphone from the Russian manufacturer scored the largest number of reviews in the ranking. Such a high popularity of the gadget is due to a combination of good functionality and acceptable build quality.
The model, judging by the reviews of the owners, is produced with a minimum percentage of defects. In addition, at a cost of just over 6500 rubles. smart is equipped with a contactless payment module, a good display and quite tolerable cameras.
- Average price: 10,090 rubles.
- Display: IPS 6.09″ 1560x720
- Cameras: main 13 + 2 MP; frontal 5 MP
- NFC: yes
- Battery: 4000 mAh
Inexpensive smartphone for basic needs: make a call, surf the Internet or watch a video. Equipped with a 6.09-inch HD+ screen, 13+2MP dual camera, NFC and a large 4000mAh battery. The case is plastic, but there is a choice of interesting colors. The screen is good: IPS matrix, ergonomic aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 and scratch protection: pixels are not visible, the picture is well recognized even under sunlight. True, the processor of the model is rather weak: Unisoc SC9863A, coupled with 2 GB of RAM, significantly limit the capabilities of the gadget. You can play undemanding games on it, but 3D programs and online shooters will freeze (if they start at all).
- Large bright screen
- Nice body colors
- loud speaker
- Affordable price
- Difficult to find suitable accessories
- Discharges in the cold
Top 2. MAXVI MS531 1/8 GB
The manufacturer made a choice in favor of a small display, in connection with which the device itself turned out to be very tiny.
- Average price: 6,500 rubles.
- Display: IPS 5.34″ 960x480
- Cameras: main 8 MP; frontal 5 MP
- NFC: no
- Battery: 3000 mAh
This model was created for use by the elderly. It can be considered a good replacement for the usual push-button mobile phone. We do not recommend expecting more. The device received a small display, the resolution of which is not enough stars from the sky. I am glad that the Russian manufacturer did not save on creation technology, and therefore the buyer will not suffer from insufficiently wide viewing angles. But he will definitely feel the minimum amount of memory. This is the case when a microSD card is indispensable. Also, this smartphone cannot be used for contactless payment for purchases. But on the other hand, he had a good Bluetooth module at his disposal, and a 4G modem and Wi-Fi are traditionally used to access the global web.
- Low cost
- miniature dimensions
- Not forgotten FM radio
- Very modest rear camera
- Very little memory
- An NFC chip would be nice
Top 1. BQ 6430L Aurora 4/64 GB
The device boasts a powerful processor, large memory, capacious battery and a good display.
- Average price: 13,990 rubles.
- Display: IPS 6.4″ 2310x1080
- Cameras: main 16 + 2 + 0.3 + 0.3 MP; frontal 20 MP
- NFC: yes
- Battery: 4000 mAh
One of the most powerful Russian smartphones. It works with the help of almost the top-end MediaTek chip. Also under the case there was a place for an adequate amount of memory by modern standards. As a result, many buyers do not even think about inserting a microSD card, although this option is present here. But most of all, the owners of the BQ 6430L like the front camera. It produces spectacular pictures even in the dark! The main camera also copes well with its task, especially if you do not remember its auxiliary modules. It is impossible to find fault with the display. Yes, it does not use AMOLED, but an IPS panel, but its resolution should suit absolutely all buyers.
- Excellent front camera
- Large number of wireless modules
- Wonderful IPS display
- Not the best support cameras
- Not ideal fingerprint scanner
