However, you need to be prepared for some shortcomings of the conditionally budget model. Redmi Note 9 may freeze when used for a long time, but this is “cured” by rebooting. Also, at the first launch, a lot of intrusive ads appear, which can be disabled in the settings.

The 5.84-inch IPS screen with a gorgeous resolution boasts a decent margin of brightness and the ability to adjust the color temperature. The processor is a powerful HiSilicon Kirin 970, which will cope with all popular toys and resource-intensive programs.

But the main feature of Honor 10 is not even in appearance, but in cameras. The main camera is divided into two modules, which have a total of 40 megapixels. Autofocus is fast and accurate, macro mode works correctly. The manufacturer regularly sends updates, including for cameras.In the reviews, users note that after installing updates, the already good photographic abilities increase - bokeh becomes more natural, focus draws hair in portraits more carefully, and frames in poor light conditions get rid of noise.

Built-in memory 32 GB, but you can use a memory card for expansion.

The smartphone from China has a bright display, which is convenient to use even under the sun. But it doesn't have NFC, which may be a disadvantage for some users. But the phone looks stylish and is available in dark gray and mint.

For the budget category, the DOOGEE X95 Pro smartphone is very good: you can take clear pictures on the camera, 4 GB of RAM is enough for most work applications and social networks.Due to the minimum changes in Android, the battery lasts more than 2 days, although its capacity is somewhat smaller than other models and is 4300 mAh.

The smartphone causes a lot of positive emotions. It is bright and stylish, although outwardly it falls short of the same Xiaomi and Realmi. For those who are looking for an inexpensive, functional smartphone for calls, social networking and photos at school or work, this is the perfect solution. If you need maximum performance and high-quality photos, then it is better to pay attention to other models.

Neat smartphone from the budget segment. The Chinese manufacturer installed a dual camera, a powerful 4000 mAh battery and 3 GB of RAM. In reviews, users claim that the battery lasts for three days with moderate use of the phone. The quality of performance pleases - the software works stably, the case is made of plastic, but durable, and the hardware is suitable even for gaming, albeit at low graphics settings.

The Chinese device is also endowed with a fingerprint scanner, an infrared port for controlling home appliances, and a mini-jack for headphones. This is a great option for kids who often lose/smash their gadgets; for the elderly, who do not have high requirements for hardware; for students who do not have the opportunity to buy an expensive phone. This is the case when "top for your money."

Large smartphone with Chinese roots. The brand is an offshoot of Oppo, which in turn is a relative of OnePlus. There is a large 5 Ah battery here, and the reviews say that the capacity is really like that - some checked it with the device. A 6.5-inch diagonal, coupled with a powerful battery, gave the smartphone a decent weight (almost 200 grams) and rather large dimensions.

From the pleasant here is not only a chip for making payments, but also a four-module main camera, 3 GB of RAM, a powerful Snapdragon 665 processor and 64 GB of internal memory. In the mode of listening to music, the device can withstand more than 30 hours. Talk time increases up to 50 hours. This is one of the best phones on our list with a good battery.

To say that Mi Max 2 is specific is to say nothing. It is more powerful than competitors. Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 and 4 GB of RAM are installed inside, and therefore all applications and “heavy” games run without problems. You can't fault the communication modules either: Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.2, infrared. Fast mobile internet is provided by 4G LTE-A. The cameras are also good: a 12 MP main module with f/2.2 takes very good pictures in good light, and a 5 MP front camera is enough for a selfie on Instagram.

That's just the display diagonal of this monster is 6.44 inches, and therefore it will suit a very small category of people. To provide energy to the screen, the engineers installed a 5300 mAh battery, which lasts for 2-3 days at a very high load - an excellent indicator.Better performance, fast communication and colossal autonomy are undoubted pluses. But we must not forget: due to the large screen size, the smartphone is not suitable for everyone.

The Xiaomi Poco M3 6000 mAh battery is combined with a balanced firmware and is able to work up to 3 days with active use or up to 15 hours in video playback mode! The smartphone from China received a high-quality Full HD + screen, a good 48 megapixel camera and f / 1.8. It has a powerful processor and a large amount of both RAM and internal memory. Using a smartphone is extremely pleasant, and it looks stylish.

You can call the Poco M3 one of the best in the category under 15,000 rubles, although if you need high quality images, it is better to pay attention to other models. But this disadvantage is fully compensated by the incredible autonomy, which is not found in other gadgets.

We open the category with a representative of the budget line from Xiaomi. The company's products have always stood out for their excellent value for money, performance and quality. Redmi 4X is no exception. Yes, there are instances with a rattling camera and a slightly loose body, but apart from that there is nothing to complain about.

As a central processor, an 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 is used, which provides excellent interface and application performance and good gaming performance. The SoC company is 2 or 3 GB of RAM (respectively, in versions with 16 and 32 GB of internal memory). Modern communication modules are also used: Bluetooth 4.2, 4G LTE-A cat.4, there are all navigation systems, an infrared port for controlling equipment. Of course, Redmi 4X has a fingerprint scanner and a capacious 4100 mAh battery - traditional features of the Redmi line. Among the advantages are good filling, low price and unique features of the system. But we must not forget about the drawback - not all devices are distinguished by impeccable assembly.

The presented smartphone from China is able to compete in performance even with flagships. Poco X3 is equipped with one of the fastest Qualcomm processors and 6 GB of memory, which makes it a good solution even for games. A stable 30 FPS is guaranteed even in very demanding games. At the same time, the smartphone does not overheat at all.

There is also a multifunctional camera with a main module of 64 megapixels, which will delight you with high-quality photos. And the Chinese smartphone looks stylish. Despite such high quality and a large charge of 5160 mAh, many devices do not pass the user test: autonomy is not enough due to insufficiently balanced firmware.

A smartphone from China, which has earned high popularity due to its reliability, inexpensive price, good performance and stylish design solutions. The smartphone pleases with a dual camera of 48 and 5 megapixels, operational gigabytes in the amount of four pieces, a large 4000 mAh battery. There is no officially certified water protection here, but numerous reviews and the words of the Chinese manufacturer indicate that the device is not afraid of falling into a puddle.

Also in the reviews, they paid attention to the durable phone case: it did not crash after numerous falls on asphalt and floor tiles. In the reviews, users also mention a beautiful appearance - there are several colors to choose from, both for minimalists and for lovers of creative solutions. Performance is top for the amount that is asked for this model in stores.

A model with near-flagship “things” inside and a budget price for an armor-piercing device. According to Blackview tradition, there is protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard and an NFC module for contactless payment. The manufacturer rolled its own shell on the seventh Android, preinstalling various applications. Among them there are really useful ones like a walkie-talkie, compass, level and so on.

The reviews complain about autonomy. The battery lasts for a day with fairly active use of the smartphone.But it charges quickly - in 40 minutes at the outlet, the charge is replenished up to 70%. Users write that they use the gadget as the main and only phone - and are satisfied. A couple more shortcomings - the lack of a 3.5 mm jack, weight 240 grams, decent dimensions and "unfinished" firmware - Chinese roots make themselves felt.

Among rugged smartphones, the Chinese Blackview BV9900E stands out for its excellent performance thanks to 6 GB of RAM and a powerful modern Media Tek Hello P90 processor. It withstands immersion in water to a depth of 1.5 m and drops from the same height. Completely protected from dust and performs well when used in temperatures from -30 to +55.

But the cameras, although good in terms of characteristics, need to be improved. At the same time, using a smartphone is quite pleasant and comfortable. It withstands shock well, but excessively frequent drops can cause cola on the edge of the connection with the glass. In some devices, there may be a problem with the speakers, but this does not happen so often and is detected immediately.

A Chinese rugged smartphone that differs from its competitors in a better processor. Traditional shock absorbers from China are powered by Mediatek, and this manufacturer has spared no expense on processors from Qulacomm. Thanks to the use of "Dragons", there is not only higher performance, but also a more stable operation of the operating system and the almost complete absence of bugs and axis glitches.

The rest of the parameters are also normal. The 6-inch screen is protected by Gorilla Glass. RAM 4 GB.There is a module for paying with a smartphone. The battery is powerful - its capacity is 5400 mAh. And besides all this, there are already 4 speakers from JBL. We tested the sound - it will not please the ear of a music lover (the middle sags and sands), but it is loud. Very loud. This is the best solution for those who need a secure smartphone and want something of high quality and without software glitches.
