MediaTek MT6580M is a processor with 4 cores and a frequency of 1.3 GHz, which is equipped with this smartphone. RAM - 1 GB. 8 GB of internal memory will seem to someone a little.In general, this is so, since already at the start part of the memory is occupied by the system. The problem is solved by supporting memory cards up to 32 GB. Inside, you can install 2 SIM-cards at once and work in 2G and 3G networks. As security modules, there is a graphic key or a password.

The cameras are quite affordable. One is 5 megapixels, and the second is 2. It is better to use a smartphone as a wallet, where all your cards and money will be in electronic form. For films, it is rather weak, about games there is no question. Autonomy due to a 2000 mAh battery is rather weak, for example, it will last up to 3.5 hours in talk mode, but up to 130 hours in standby mode.

One of the most popular budget smartphones from Realme. Despite the fact that the model is inexpensive, it has an NFC module, a large screen with a diagonal of 6.52 inches, a three-module camera, and a powerful 5000 mAh battery.

NFC technology has paved the way for contactless payment, there is no need to carry around a bunch of cards or cash. The operating system uses a slightly improved Android 8.1 Orio. Resource optimization allowed to increase the speed of programs launched in the system by 15%. What is really not enough here is the operational (1 GB) and built-in (8 GB) memory.

A cool budget smartphone from Xiaomi, which turned out to be extremely successful. The price was fixed at around 10,000 rubles, and the filling seemed to be taken from a more expensive phone.The processor here is not from Qualcomm, but nimble is the Mediatek Helio G80. 4 cameras, among which there is a wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle and a depth sensor.

In the reviews, buyers note the nice design, the presence of NFC and good cameras, noting the mediocre case that collects fingerprints and, over time, the backlash of the case cover.

Among competitors, the smartphone compares favorably with a significant amount of internal memory of 64 GB. They are complemented by support for 256 GB memory cards, that is, amateur videos or movies in memory are easy to place. Pleasing to the eye and non-standard blue color. External appeal is complemented by a frameless screen with a diagonal of 6.3 inches. It is in perfect harmony with the 2K resolution of 2340x1080 pixels.

There is also support for 4G networks, which will ensure fast data transfer. Connection to the network and charging is done via USB Type-C. A lot of factory junk can be singled out as the main drawback, and you will have to spend time to clear the system of it. With not very active use, it holds a charge for 1.5 days.

The manufacturer managed to balance the characteristics and price, thanks to which the smartphone became the most popular. It has NFC that works with Samsung Pay, and it's one of the best devices with a contactless payment module.

On the road, 64 GB of internal memory will come in handy - not a smartphone, but storage. RAM "reported" with a margin, 4 GB is enough even for games. The eight-core processor has an increased frequency and boost from 1.7 to 2.2 GHz. The weak point in the system was the 3750 mAh battery.

Powerful here and iron. The A12 Bionic processor, despite 6 cores, is much more productive than its counterparts due to the frequency of 2.5 GHz. Its power is enough to run all modern games on smartphones. Special attention is paid to the camera. It is double and each sensor is 12 megapixels. Improved and Face ID, providing powerful protection of personal data. The main disadvantage is the lack of a headphone port. You can't customize the firmware either. The file manager is missing.

You might be wondering why we didn't put the iPhone first. It's all about flaws and the price they ask for it.
