The best budget smartphones under 7,000 rubles

ASUS ZENFONE G552KL

A relatively new development of a Taiwanese company. Created only in black. The OS is Android 7.0. Above the 5.5-inch IPS display, there are proximity and light sensors. The 5MP camera produces decent selfies and video calls. The main camera resolution is not much higher - only 8 megapixels. But such figures are standard for low-cost smartphones.

The permanent memory is 16 GB, the operative one is 1 GB, which is now extremely small and will soon begin to negatively affect the functionality of the device. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, which is quite enough. The processor is not very powerful, but the chipset was built by Qualcomm, so it should work well.

The phone transmits and receives information via LTE networks. Bluetooth 4.1. allows you to use wireless headphones. Navigation works well, connects with US and Russian satellites. NFC chip is missing. But most of all users are disappointed with the display resolution - only 1440 * 720, which is not enough for such a diagonal. But the situation is at least slightly offset by the pixel density - 293 PPI.

BQ BQS-5020 STRIKE

If you are interested in smartphones under 7,000 rubles with a good camera, pay attention to this model. It is equipped with the Android 6.0 operating system, the most advanced mobile operating system. The clear five-inch screen has a resolution of 1280 * 720. The good pixel density of 294 ppi ensures high image quality and deep color reproduction. Fast operation of the device is provided by 4-core processor MediaTek MT6580 with a frequency of 1300 MHz. The body of the model is made of metal, so it is not only more comfortable than plastic, but also more durable.

Many users in this smartphone are pleased with a high-quality camera, a sensitive touchscreen and an indicator of missed calls. The camera deserves special attention: the 13 MP with Sony aperture allows you to take high-quality photos in any weather. A pleasant surprise - in addition to the charging and USB cable, the set includes headphones. The only drawbacks are no 4G / LTE and poor sound quality.

Xiaomi Redmi 5A 32GB

This inexpensive good smartphone is considered one of the best developments by Xiaomi. For 7 thousand rubles you will get a device with a 5-inch display, which has HD-resolution. When it was created, IPS technology was used, so there should be no problems with the viewing angle. The front camera is very basic and more suitable for video calls. But in creating the main camera, the manufacturers did a good job - it has a resolution of 13 megapixels and an aperture of f / 2.2. If you only take pictures when necessary, it should be enough. For connoisseurs of high-quality photos, this phone will be rather weak.

The phone has an LTE module that provides high-speed data transfer. Wi-Fi has a restrictive 802.11 n standard, so it doesn't work with some routers. The navigation module "catches" American and Russian satellites well. There is Bluetooth 4.1, but no NFC.

The product is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 425 processor clocked at 1400 MHz. It has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. If you like to store a lot of information on your phone, you can use a flash drive to increase your memory.

Three versions of this model can be found in stores today. The only difference is the body color. The model weighs only 137 g. The disadvantages include the weakness of the front camera and battery.

SAMSUNG GALAXY J1 (2016) SM-J120F / DS

The smartphone from the Korean manufacturer runs on Android 5.1, has slots for two SIM cards, which is in great demand among consumers today. 4G / LTE support optimizes internet usage. On a bright AMOLED display with a diagonal of 4.5, the picture is of high quality and not distorted.

Numerous positive consumer reviews mention the good quality of the earpiece, the good camera and the stable functionality of the phone itself. Despite the fact that it was released relatively long ago, it does not lose its relevance among users. The built-in memory is 8 GB, but if necessary, you can put a 128 GB flash drive. The 2050 mAh battery provides 12 hours of active use of the phone. The disadvantages include the poor configuration and fragility of the case.

XIAOMI REDMI 4A

It is considered the youngest in the company's lineup. Despite this, the phone is full of pleasant surprises. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 4-core processor is great for daily tasks such as social media, calls, etc. The phone is not very suitable for games: 3D toys work only on minimal graphics. Communication is traditionally good: 4G LTE-A cat.4, Bluetooth 4.1, IrDA, necessary navigation (GPS / GLONASS / BeiDou) - all this is there and works well. The model has a sufficient amount of RAM and permanent memory - 2 and 16 GB.

The battery with a capacity of 3120 mAh and a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280 * 720 allows you to actively use the device for two days. The cameras are also good: 13 MP on the main module with an f / 2.2 aperture and optical stabilization allows you to create high-quality pictures during the day. The lack of good lighting makes the pictures "noisy".

The model is appreciated for its good filling, the presence of modern communication modules, large amounts of memory, a capacious battery and a good camera.

MOTOROLA MOTO E4

At the sight of this smartphone and its logo, one involuntarily indulges in nostalgia. The model is equipped with a functional and fast fingerprint scanner that replaces the standard navigation buttons, an almost pure android, good color rendering and quick finding of satellites (in just a few seconds). The phone is perfectly assembled - all the details are precisely fitted, do not creak or play. The back plastic panel is covered with metal. The tray holds two SIM cards and a USB flash drive.

Many users are not satisfied with the modest 8-megapixel camera, the presence of yellow or blue tints on the screen. But if you are a selfie lover, then you will definitely appreciate the flash of the front camera. We are pleased with the presence of a good oleophobic display coating, original design and noise reduction during conversation. If you want to buy an unusual, beautiful and high-quality smartphone, this model will definitely suit you.

NOKIA 2 DUAL SIM

Our ranking of the best would be incomplete without this simple smartphone. It has a very good 4100mAh battery. Availability of dust protection standard IP52. Another pleasant surprise - the phone comes with a branded headset. The screen is protected from damage by Gorilla Glass v3. Body with metal elements. That's all unusual.

The processor is designed for basic tasks, the 8-megapixel camera is not suitable for creating highly aesthetic photos. Android 7.1 won't handle toys or popular apps. But if you are looking for an indestructible smartphone with a good battery at a budget price, then you will not find this product better.

HUAWEI Y5 PRIME

The phone has a brand new Android 8.1, 5.45-inch IPS-screen with HD + resolution.The aspect ratio is already classic - 18 to 9. The 13 megapixel camera has autofocusing. The front camera is ordinary - 5 megapixels. The performance of the smartphone is fully consistent with the price: it is enough for messaging, using the Internet, social networks and office programs. RAM - 2 GB, permanent - 16 GB. A slot for a flash drive is provided. The battery provides 24-48 hours of use, but if you only use the phone for calls, it will last for 3 days. A significant drawback is the slight slowness of the system.

MEIZU M6 16GB

This 5.2-inch stylish smartphone has a very stylish look. Placed 7 android is covered with Flyme shell. The 13 megapixel camera takes bright, high-quality images. The model supports 4G. 2 GB of RAM is enough for the stable operation of the gadget. The "capacious" battery allows you to actively use it for two days. The front camera is weak, so selfie fans will be disappointed with the quality of the images.

Many people like MEIZU brand products because of their one-button control - a single central button functions as three navigation keys. The design is pleasantly pleasing. The model is made in black, blue, gold and silver colors. Among young people, a gadget with a blue body is in great demand.

The model is powered by an eight-core MediaTek processor, while competing models are equipped with quad-core chips. The lack of an NFC module is most of all due to the low cost of the phone.

LG K7 (2017) X230

The low price of the smartphone is due to its weak components. It has Android 6.0 and an inexpensive MediaTek MT6737 processor. But this is quite enough to process images with a resolution of 854 * 480. These are the parameters of a 5-inch display. The main drawback is the manufacturing technology. Viewing angles are not maximum. The smartphone has 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of main memory, so it is suitable for consumers who do not use "smart" functionality.

The model is equipped with light and proximity sensors, Bluetooth 4.2 module. and LTE-A support for fast file downloads. The option of listening to FM-radio, which is almost always absent in phones of other manufacturers, is pleasantly surprising. The 8 megapixel camera takes quite decent pictures. This lightweight (143g) compact model easily connects to a trendy wireless headset.

ZTE BLADE A530

This phone has something that you will not find in any other smartphone from the above models. This is a removable battery. The manufacturer did not bother with the case and made it plastic. But the important elements are excellently executed: a good bright display, adequate camera, stable connection (with support for 4G), gyroscope, proximity and light sensors.

The battery is weak - only 2600 mAh. This is not enough even for a day of active use. Charging takes place via the outdated micro-USB connector. But these shortcomings do not greatly affect the popularity of the model.

Honor 7A

This HUAWEI development is based on Android 8.1. At the time of this writing, this version is considered the newest. The display with a diagonal of 5.45 has a resolution of 1440 * 720. This is not the best ratio, but it does not really affect the image. Front camera 5 megapixel is located above the screen.

The rear panel houses the main camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels. It allows you to create not only pictures, but also video - the image resolution at 30 frames per second is equal to 1920 * 1080 pixels. The resulting video can be published on the social network. The smartphone has support for Wi-Fi 802.11n and LTE networks. There is Bluetooth 4.2.

None of the users complained about the GPS chip, which interacts with popular types of satellites.

To create the phone, we took a MediaTek MT6739 base with a clock purity of 1500 MHz - this is quite enough for the normal operation of many games and programs. The RAM is 2 GB, the constant is 16 GB. As with some models from our rating, this one also has an option to listen to the radio. The phone is presented in three colors.

Meizu M8c

It is considered one of the most affordable models. It has a Qualcomm chipset, albeit the most modest quad-core SD425.Memory parameters are already standard for budget designs: 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of the main one. If necessary. You can put a USB flash drive. 5.45 Traditional HD + IPS Screen.

The main camera resolution is 13 megapixels, which is surprising given the price of the phone. The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, so it takes good selfies. The battery capacity is average - 3070 mAh. The body of the model is made of high-quality plastic, pleasant to the touch. There are several color schemes. Fingerprint scanner is not provided.

Xaomi Redmi 6A

This phone is cheap because it is very popular with consumers. It is equipped with a MediaTek Helio A22 processor (12nm), which does a good job with basic applications and even pulls Word Of Tanks, but only with low graphics settings. The main camera is 13 megapixels, f / 2.2, the front camera is 5 megapixels, so the pictures are normal. The 3000 mAh battery (charged via micro USB) allows you to actively use the phone for 48-60 hours. On the 5.45 diagonal IPS screen with HD resolution, the picture is clear and bright. The model has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of main memory.

Some users have complained that Google and MIUI system apps take up a lot of space. Also, you cannot transfer applications to a USB flash drive. There were complaints about sensor freezing and violation of auto brightness.

Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532F

The model is very compact. It has a PLS screen with a diagonal of 5 inches and a resolution of 960 * 540. Viewing angles are not maximum, but not problematic. The body is available in three colors. Since this phone, by modern standards, was released a long time ago, it has the sixth Android. But this does not prevent him from adequately "pulling" new programs.

The smartphone has support for LTE networks. It is equipped with wireless modules Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11n, interacts with GPS and GLONASS satellites. But in the process of using these options, one feels that they are difficult for the phone. Perhaps it's all about the small OP - only 1.5 GB. The built-in storage is also small - 8 GB, so it won't fit many applications.

The cameras are also rather weak: the main one is 8 Mp, the front one is 5 Mp. But they are quite enough for creating ordinary photo and video conferences in Skype. The smartphone does not have a light sensor, so you will have to adjust the brightness of the backlight yourself depending on the environment. I was pleasantly surprised by the high build quality and the ability to listen to the radio. The 2600 mAh battery lasts for 12-16 hours of active use.

Customer Reviews

Recently bought HUAWEI Y5 PRIME. Of the advantages, I will name three points: a good price, it keeps charging for a long time, separate slots for 2 SIM cards and a USB flash drive. Otherwise I am disappointed. Both cameras take very mediocre photos. The performance killed me altogether - the phone slows down unrealistically: I can end the conversation only on the second attempt, even standard applications take a very long time to start. The body is flimsy, made of cheap plastic. In short, I used it for 2 months and bought another phone.

Alexander

I bought a pink Xiaomi Redmi 6A for my girlfriend. Has been using it for four months already, I'm very happy. The battery normally holds a charge, the sensor is not buggy, all applications load quickly. Sometimes the main camera takes a long time to focus, but it was only a couple of times and after cleaning the gadget from debris everything stabilized. A good phone at a good value.

Eugene

I bought ASUS ZENFONE G552KL because I don't need an expensive gadget. The model is well built. I downloaded a few simple games and a music player for myself, the phone can handle them normally. It quickly loads photos and music from social networks, does not buggy when searching for information on the Internet. I charge the battery every day, because I talk on the phone and text a lot. Recommend.

Svetlana

Samsung Galaxy J2 Prime SM-G532F pleased me with fast work and long battery life. Unfortunately, almost half of the 8 GB of main memory is packed with some kind of incomprehensible programs that are not copied to a USB flash drive. Cameras are weak, I would like more powerful. The headphone jack is weak, so the plug pops out easily and playback stops. In principle, I expected a little better quality from the Samsung.

Nataliya

Everything suits me in Meizu M8c.Of course, you cannot play fancy toys on it, but for this it was not created. Good build, pleasant to the touch and comfortable in the hand. One full charge is enough for me for a day and a half.

Stanislav

NOKIA 2 DUAL SIM pleased with the camera, battery and laconic design. Of course, there is not enough RAM, but I bought this phone mainly for calls. I periodically use Viber, the smartphone pulls it normally. Heats up during operation, especially if at this time it is charging. This is a little annoying. When using the phone, you understand that the word NOKIA took over 20 percent of its value, but this is quite normal. In general, I am satisfied with everything. Got what I wanted.
