The best budget smartphones under 10000. The main thing in Meizu M5. The cheapest option

The price category from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles is the most popular among Russian smartphone buyers, accounting for 33% of smartphones sold in Russia. For comparison: the share of smartphones from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles accounts for 13% of the devices sold, the share of the middle price segment (15,000 - 20,000 rubles) - 7%, from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles - 9%, over 30 thousand rubles - 7%. As for very cheap smartphones, devices costing from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles account for 19% of sales, and smartphones priced up to 3,000 rubles - 11% (according to a study of the smartphone market for the first 9 months of 2016 by Euroset).

As we can see, the price category from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles is not just in the lead, but by a large margin. This is explained by the fact that with the funds available to most, you can buy a smartphone that is not suitable except for those who like to load it with heavy games or those who want to use a smartphone to shoot very high-quality photos and videos. All other advantages of modern smartphones, for example, a large screen with HD resolution, a fingerprint scanner, 2-3 gigabytes of RAM (enough for good performance), a powerful battery that allows you not to recharge your phone for a couple of days, 4G LTE support - all this can be found in a smartphone worth up to 10 thousand rubles. You just need to make a reservation that this will be a Chinese smartphone or from a nominally Russian brand, but again made in China (for example, Wileyfox, SENSEIT).

This rating of the best smartphones worth up to 10 thousand rubles for December 2017 will help you choose the right model in this price range. The rating is based on reviews in the Yandex market (the top 10 includes smartphone models that scored at least half of the fives). The technical characteristics of the smartphone and the price-quality ratio were also taken into account.

At the moment, there are a huge number of budget smartphones on the market, with different characteristics, design and software. For this reason, many buyers have their eyes wide open, and they do not know which one is better and why. Just for such a case, this rating was written. The best representatives of the budget segment are collected here, and after reading the material, you will definitely know the answer to the question - which smartphone is better to buy in 2018-2019 up to 10 thousand rubles.

Xiaomi Redmi 5

Price: 9900 rubles

The leader of our top 10 phones of 2018-2019 under 10 thousand is a representative of the Chinese company Xiaomi. Speaking about the advantages of Xiaomi Redmi 5, first of all, it should be noted that graphics performance is decent for a state employee and good FPS in modern games. Another point that speaks in favor of buying Xiaomi Redmi 5 is a high-quality metal case, excellent build quality and modern design.

Redmi 5's camera does not shine and is at the standard level for budget smartphones. During the day, it shows good results, but at night it turns the pictures into a mess with a bunch of pixels. The display of the five is one of its strongest points. It has an aspect ratio of 18:7 and a diagonal of 5.7 inches, only the low pixel density is confusing - 282 PPI, only HD resolution. Externally, Xiaomi Redmi 5 looks stylish and spectacular, it also fits comfortably in the hand.

Meizu M6

Price: 8330 rubles

A model from Meizu, a popular company in narrow circles. The case of the device is made of durable plastic, which fits comfortably in the hand, due to this Meizu M6 can be used without a case - it is absolutely not slippery, and the weight of the device is only 143 grams. The display diagonal is 5.2 inches, the resolution is 1280x720, which is quite good considering the price of the smartphone. The screen pleases not only with image quality, but also with responsive multi-touch, which is able to process 10 touches simultaneously, there is a good oleophobic coating.

The processor in the Meizu M6 is an eight-core MediaTek MT 6750, each core in which runs at a frequency of 1500 MHz. The graphics chip is Mali-T860, which is quite enough to run modern games, but only at low graphics settings. The M6 ​​cannot boast of a special margin of gaming performance. The resolution of the main camera is 13 MP, the front camera is 8 MP. Both are excellent during the day, but when working at night and in poor lighting, they noticeably fail.

Nokia 3.1

Price: 9990 rubles

The first representative of Nokia in our ranking of the best smartphones of 2018-2019. The main advantage of this inexpensive device is the quality of the case. Despite the fact that the back cover is made of plastic, it is very pleasant to the touch and resistant to damage. The camera pleases with the quality of images in good light and natural color reproduction, in terms of photos Nokia 3.1 surpasses most of the available competitors.

The processor in the Nokia 3.1 is the octa-core MT6750, and it is he who is the main headache of the device. It is quite slow, which affects the speed of opening applications and performance in games. The amount of memory is also modest - 2 GB of RAM and 16 permanent, not the ultimate dream even for the budget segment. All in all, the Nokia 3.1 is a great fit for customers looking for an affordable smartphone with a good camera and no interest in mobile gaming.

Honor 7A

Price: 8990 rubles

A good smartphone up to 10 thousand rubles from the Chinese company Huawei. The Honor 7A has a 5.7-inch display with 720p resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio. The device feels very comfortable in the hand thanks to the thin body, and in general the design of the Honor 7A looks enticing despite the use of plastic. The processor used here is the widespread Snapdragon 430, far from the latest Qualcomm chipset, which is still better than similar budget solutions from MediaTek.

The main camera has a resolution of 13 MP, it allows you to take quite high-quality pictures in good lighting conditions. It is worth choosing Honor 7A because of its appearance, since there are not so many large-format smartphones with a claim to bezel-less in the budget segment, especially when it comes to models from leading manufacturers, and not about basement Chinese.

ASUS Zenfone Live L1

Price: 8990 rubles

The first representative of the Taiwanese company ASUS in our rating. The design of ASUS Zenfone Live L1 is quite modest, but its body is made of metal, which visually brings the L1 closer to more expensive devices. The weight of the model is 120 grams. The display has a diagonal of 5 inches, a resolution of 720p and an aspect ratio of 16:9, but its main advantage is a high level of maximum brightness, which allows you to comfortably use your smartphone under bright daylight.

The processor here is a strong middling Snapdragon 425, the Adreno 305 chipset is responsible for the graphics. This combination will be enough to perform basic functions - surfing the Internet, chatting in instant messengers, watching videos and listening to music. But in the event that you are looking for a phone for games, you should pay attention to other models. It is also worth noting that L1 runs on Android GO - this is a special version of the operating system that functions smoothly and quickly even on devices with weak hardware.

ASUS Zenfone Live L1

Samsung Galaxy J2 (2018)

Price: 9990 rubles

In the middle of our rating is one of the budget models from Samsung. The design of the device is no frills, it is almost the same as its predecessor released in 2017. Despite the modest characteristics of the display - a diagonal of 5 inches and a resolution of 960x540 pixels, in practice it produces a very good image.

The processor function is performed by the popular Snapdragon 425, with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and four cores. The Adreno 308 chipset copes with graphics tasks. The RAM is 1.5 GB, and the built-in memory is only 16 GB, both indicators are very modest - performance is mediocre in all respects, so gamers should avoid this smartphone. The main camera has a resolution of 8 MP, and the front 5 MP. With good lighting, the pictures are good both in terms of color reproduction and detail. The Samsung Galaxy J2 is a good budget smartphone capable of performing everyday tasks, but it does not pretend to be something serious.

Samsung Galaxy J2

Alcatel 3V 5099D

Price: 9990 rubles

Alcatel devices are traditionally known for their strange appearance. But in the case of Alcatel 3V 5099D there is nothing extravagant, it is quite ordinary and does not stand out in anything special. One of the main advantages of the model is the display. It has a diagonal of 6 inches, a resolution of 2160x1080 and an aspect ratio of 18:9, which is better than the vast majority of devices in this segment.

Apparently, due to the good display, the developers had to save on the processor. MediaTek MT8735A cannot boast of outstanding performance, and coupled with 2 GB of RAM, the smartphone will disappoint those who like to pass the time in games. If you need a smartphone that can perform the functions of a camera, it is better to pay attention to models with a higher price, but otherwise the Alcatel 3V 5099D is quite capable of meeting the basic needs of its owner.

Alcatel 3V 5099D

Huawei Y6 (2018)

Price: 8790 rubles

The second representative of Huawei in the ranking. Y6 has a 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 1440x720 pixels, it boasts good color reproduction and detailed picture. The gadget received a Snapdragon 425 processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and four cores, a graphics chipset - Adreno 308. This "team" is quite capable of coping with Internet surfing, listening to music and watching videos in FullHD resolution, as well as with not the most resource-intensive 3D toys

The main camera of the Y6 has a 13 MP sensor and a powerful flash, so the photos are very good. The front camera with a 5 MP sensor is perfect for selfie lovers and has two shooting modes: automatic and intelligent. Huawei Y6 (2018) is worth a closer look for those who are looking for a budget phone with a good camera, it is also a good choice for a girl.

LG K9

Price: 8390 rubles

A reliable phone that is perfect for people whose budget does not exceed 10,000 rubles. The design of the LG K9 is made in the corporate style of the Korean company - it is a fairly strict monoblock in black, which looks appropriate in a man's hand, but girls should pay attention to something else. The display here is five-inch with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The filling of the LG K9 is very modest: the Snapdragon 210 processor and the Adreno 304 graphics chipset will not be able to pull some modern toys even at the lowest settings, however, for browsing the Internet, watching videos and listening to music, the performance will be quite enough.

The front camera is equipped with a sensor of 8 MP and a flash, the front camera of 5 MP allows its owner to take good selfies. For its price, the LG K9 is not the best phone in terms of features, but it is convenient in practical use, this model is definitely worth a closer look if you do not have too serious needs and are on a budget.

Vivo Y71

Price: 10,000 rubles

Closes our rating of smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in terms of price and quality, a phone from Vivo, a little-known company in our area. It is a characteristic representative of the budget segment and is focused on the markets of developing countries. The main advantage of Vivo Y71 is its design and good IPS display with 18:9 aspect ratio.

Y71 is equipped with a Snapdragon 450 processor, which is a frequent guest in the filling of smartphones in this price category. The amount of RAM in the amount of 3 GB is enough for most tasks, the average user will not feel a lack of performance. But 16 GB of permanent memory does not give room for maneuver and pushes the user to buy a flash card, since there is an opportunity to expand the memory. The 3360 mAh battery provides a confident day of active work without recharging.

Each of them has at least 3 GB of RAM, as a result of which it has no problems with solving everyday tasks. Especially for those who like to pay for purchases using their smartphone, we have selected solutions with an NFC module. The price of each model is selected in accordance with Yandex Market.

#10 - OUKITEL K6000 Plus

Price: 9 990 rubles

The main emphasis in the development of OUKITEL K6000 Plus was placed on autonomy, so it was equipped with a 6080 mAh battery. This decision led to the fact that the model is able to work in everyday use for about 2.5-3 days. At the same time, the smartphone uses an inexpensive but good MediaTek MT6750 processor, which, in conjunction with 4 GB of RAM, will provide you with speed in all household processes. All this is packaged in a robust case with a nice design.

The model has drawbacks, but for such a price they are not too critical. These include a rather weak oleophobic coating, as well as meager photographic capabilities. Therefore, if you need a smartphone that can replace the camera if necessary, then this model is definitely not for you.

OUKITEL K6000 Plus

#9 - Ulefone Mix

Price: 9 840 rubles

Ulefone engineers tried to demonstrate to the whole world that they are following the flagship innovations of the smartphone market, so Ulefone Mix has implemented a frameless screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches, good color reproduction and a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. This concept is rarely seen among budget smartphones, thanks to this, the model looks advantageous when compared with competitors. However, the gadget is suitable not only for connoisseurs of aesthetics, but also for those who need a reliable assistant that can cope with everyday tasks. For such people, Ulefone Mix offers a MediaTek MT6750 chipset and 4GB of RAM.

The autonomy of the device spoils the picture a little. Apparently, the developers did not pay attention to optimizing the battery at all, which creates the feeling that its volume is not 3300 mAh, but about 2500 mAh. Even at minimum brightness, the battery runs out before our eyes, so if Ulefone Mix lasts a whole working day, you can consider yourself lucky.

#8 - DOOGEE Mix

Price: 9 999 rubles

The developers of DOOGEE Mix decided to make their budget device stand out among many competitors with a frameless design. Whether they succeeded or not is up to the buyers and their reviews, but in our subjective opinion, the smartphone looks pretty. Since it will not be possible to win the love of buyers with one appearance, the gadget was equipped with a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. At the same time, enough attention was paid to its matrix - contrast, saturation and image detail are at the highest level.

In terms of performance, there are no complaints about DOOGEE Mix either. The combination of Helio P25 processor and 4 GB of RAM handles most of the tasks perfectly and only struggles with demanding games. There were no critical mistakes in the creation of the model. True, the operation of the fingerprint scanner sometimes raises questions - too often it does not respond to a fingerprint.

#7 - ZTE Blade V9 Vita

Price: 9 990 rubles

If you really want a smartphone with an NFC module, but buying a flagship is beyond your capabilities, be sure to pay attention to the ZTE Blade V9 Vita. The model has a very balanced filling - the Snapdragon 435 processor is slowly losing its relevance, but its capabilities are still enough for you in everything except modern games such as PUBG and Fortnite. In addition, it is distinguished by its energy efficiency, and due to the presence in the smartphone of a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 by 720 pixels, which is not demanding on battery resources, a 3200 mAh battery will be enough for you for a whole working day. Some of the merit is also in using the version of Android 8.1, which is distinguished by its modest battery requirements.

The main disadvantages of the model definitely include the case materials. It is made of plastic, which does not inspire any confidence. Among other things, for this model it is quite difficult to find a protective cover, and without it, it is unlikely to survive at least one encounter with asphalt. Also, the soft-touch coating on the back quickly collects fingerprints and various debris.

ZTE Blade V9 Vita

No. 6 - Honor 7C

Price: 9 990 rubles

The creators of Honor 7C did not bother with the appearance of their product, using the standard concept for modern smartphones when creating it. Instead, they decided to win the love of customers with a 5.7-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 by 720 pixels, showing a detailed image with rich colors. In addition, he has an excellent margin of maximum brightness, which is why you can make out what is happening on the display even under the sun.

Cameras are also a strong point of the Honor 7C. Especially the main one. It is represented by two sensors with a resolution of 13 and 2 MP and is able to create high-quality images with the correct color balance, the same can be said about the 8-megapixel front camera. The icing on the cake for the owner of the model will be the presence of an NFC module, Android version 8.0, and an OTG connector.

#5 - ASUS ZenFone Max Plus

Price: 9 990 rubles

Like all ASUS products, this smartphone has an ascetic design, so if you like unusual solutions, you may not like this model. Connoisseurs of the hardware component, first of all, will be satisfied with the 5.7-inch display of the gadget. Its resolution is 2160 by 1080 pixels, viewing angles are close to the maximum, and color reproduction is natural. In order to support such a display, ASUS ZenFone Max Plus has a 4130 mAh battery. It copes with its task completely - its charge will last you a whole working day, or even more.

The smartphone did not disappoint in its photo capabilities either. Not every expensive good smartphone has noise cancellation as great as in this model, plus the cameras have many shooting modes, which can only be described in detail in a full review. When it comes to performance, ASUS ZenFone Max Plus also has a lot to offer. Yes, the MediaTek MT6750 chipset is already a bit outdated, but in those moments where it does not play out, 4 GB of RAM comes to its aid.

ASUS ZenFone Max Plus

#4 - Honor 8 Lite

Price: 9 990 rubles

One step away from getting on the podium of our smartphone rating up to 10,000 rubles in 2018, Honor 8 Lite is located. This is one of the best solutions in Huawei's arsenal in terms of price and quality. It uses a combination of a nimble Kirin 655 processor and 4 GB of RAM, so the user will not experience any problems except for the most resource-demanding games. A 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels is also an advantage of the model. It has a perfectly calibrated matrix - viewing angles are almost maximum, just like color reproduction, contrast and saturation.

Also, Honor 8 Lite is interesting for its cameras. The main one uses a 12-megapixel Sony IMX286 sensor, known for its excellent light sensitivity parameter, thanks to which the color balance of photos is at an acceptable level. The 8-megapixel front camera is capable of taking good selfies, and also has various modes that improve the final result.

#3 - Nokia 6

Price: 11 190 rubles

Nokia 6 is exactly the gadget that can return the company to the big game in the smartphone market. The first thing that speaks in favor of this is a 5.5-inch display with an oleophobic coating and a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, the matrix of which is calibrated in the best possible way. In addition to this, it has a large margin of maximum brightness, so you can safely take Nokia 6 with you to the beach. The model is also interesting for its monolithic metal case.

The price category from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles is the most popular among Russian smartphone buyers, accounting for 33% of smartphones sold in Russia. For comparison: the share of smartphones from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles accounts for 13% of the devices sold, the share of the middle price segment (15,000 - 20,000 rubles) - 7%, from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles - 9%, over 30 thousand rubles - 7%. As for very cheap smartphones, devices costing from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles account for 19% of sales, and smartphones priced up to 3,000 rubles - 11% (according to a study of the smartphone market for the first 9 months of 2016 by Euroset).

As we can see, the price category from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles is not just in the lead, but by a large margin. This is explained by the fact that with the funds available to most, you can buy a smartphone that is not suitable except for those who like to load it with heavy games or those who want to use a smartphone to shoot very high-quality photos and videos. All other advantages of modern smartphones, for example, a large screen with HD resolution, a fingerprint scanner, 2-3 gigabytes of RAM (sufficient for good performance), a powerful battery that allows you not to recharge your phone for a couple of days, 4G LTE support - all this can be found in smartphone worth up to 10 thousand rubles. You just need to make a reservation that this will be a Chinese smartphone or from a nominally Russian brand, but again made in China (for example, Wileyfox, SENSEIT, BQ Mobile).

This rating of the best smartphones worth up to 10 thousand rubles for the summer of 2019 will help you choose the right model in this price range. The rating is based on reviews in the Yandex market (the top 10 includes smartphone models that scored at least half of the fives). The technical characteristics of the smartphone and the price-quality ratio were also taken into account.
