A smartphone for games up to 10,000. Pros and cons of Lenovo K6 Power. The main thing in Meizu U10

To buy a cool phone, it is not necessary to take a loan for iPhone 7. In stores you can find quite good mobile devices with an adequate price tag, especially if you look at Chinese brands - Xiaomi, Meizu, ZTE, etc.

I have collected my own rating “The best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in 2016”. To make it convenient to select a device, the top is divided into five categories. It's simple: if you need a smartphone to take high-quality photos and shoot FullHD, watch a phone with the best camera. Are you going to play frantically, then we will also pick up a model for games for you, and so on.


The best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in 2016

Holds a charge for a long time

If the prospect of being tied to a power outlet does not please you, then pay attention to the ZTE Blade X3 smartphone. The 4000 mAh battery capacity in combination with the MediaTek MT6735m non-jitter processor and HD display gives you a huge number of hours of battery life.

Huge, of course, by the standards of modern phones, which charge a little less often than always. A test in GeekBench 3, for example, shows a twofold superiority over the usual results of other phones.

But all these benchmarks are an empty phrase, if you do not watch how the phone works in practice. So, the full charge of the ZTE Blade X3 gives:

  • 12 hours of web surfing.
  • Music Play Day
  • 15 hours of video playback.
  • 7 hours at maximum load (turned on the video, listen to music, play, call mom).

With the economical use of the charge lasts for several days, with a very economical - for a week. Moreover, the device is far from bulky, like other “centenarians,” and its weight is normal.

As for the rest of the specifications, Blade X3 is a typical “budget”: 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of available memory (with 8 GB of total), the main camera is 8 megapixels (in reality, no more than 5 megapixels).

Gives a normal play

It is difficult to find a good model for games in the segment up to 10,000 rubles, but there are options - for example, HTC Desire 620G. Eight processor cores provide good multitasking performance and allow you to play normally. The device will lag a little only on “heavy” games, because it only has 1 GB of RAM, but for a phone up to 10,000 rubles this is a normal situation.

The advantages include excellent assembly and a successful 5-inch IPS screen with Full HD resolution that does not dazzle in the dark and does not glare in the sun. The battery capacity (2100 mAh) is enough to play enough, listen to music and have time to sit on the Internet until the screen goes blank.

Built-in memory of 8 GB, plus you can install a card up to 64 GB. Regarding the amount of RAM (1 GB), regular cleaning of the application cache will help solve performance problems.

Completely fulfills the money spent

In almost all ratings of smartphones, the cost of which does not exceed 10,000 rubles, you will see Xiaomi Redmi 3 at the top of the device. Xiaomi, founded in 2010, quickly won a wide variety of audiences, from ordinary users who care that applications do not slow down, to real phone geeks.

In words Redmi 3 is a budget smartphone. But if you compare it with competitors in the price range of up to 10,000 rubles, then you cannot find a better price-quality ratio. Let's admire the characteristics:

  • CPU Snapdragon 616, 8 cores.
  • RAM 2 GB.
  • Built-in memory 16 GB, support for memory cards.
  • The main camera is 13 megapixels.
  • 5-inch screen with Full HD resolution.
  • Battery 4100 mAh.

Not, of course, about which I already spoke, but also with dignity. Redmi 3 also supports LTE network and is distinguished by high-quality assembly and attractive appearance, which would suit the flagship device.

A smartphone looks 2 times more expensive than it actually costs, and if you take into account its functionality, then with some bitten apple on the case it would cost 50 thousand.

It shoots great

Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Dual with a 13 megapixel main camera can easily replace the entry-level soap box. The photos are bright, but the only inconvenience is the lack of a side camera button - but where did you see it now? There is autofocus, LED flash, video resolution of 1920 x 1080 - this, among other things, Full HD, you can shoot movies. Okay, I got excited with the films, but the image does not break up into pixels, even with a serious approximation.

The optics of the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Dual are from Carl Zeiss. The German quality, the reputation in the optics market is nowhere higher, so you can tell everything between now that you have a camera with Carl Zeiss optics. Sounds solid.

If you are not ready to switch to a phone with Windows installed, and want to stay on such a native Android, pay attention to the models from ZTE - Blade X5 and Blade A510. These devices offer a 13MP main camera, which also gives good shots.

Survive a local apocalypse

By reliability, I personally mean the indestructibility of the phone. The reference here is the legendary Nokia 3310, which withstands everything from falling onto a concrete floor to a nuclear explosion. But this is history, now the Ginzzu RS7 DUAL device can be called reliable. Liquid, bumps, drops, bad signal - RS7 DUAL will cope with all these little things.

If you are going to the taiga to drop your phone and periodically heat it in water, then the Ginzzu RS7 DUAL will be the best solution. When all sorts of vaunted iPhones cry from inconvenience and cannot catch a signal, this reliability monster silently shakes off dirt and continues to ring.

With minimal use of the smartphone (take your eyes off the screen, we're on the go!), Its charge will last for a week. All accidental falls and intentional throws fall on rubberized edges, so the only problem will be to catch a galloping phone. But you need to understand that protection and a large battery take away space from other components, so that the screen is only 3.5 inches, and the camera is 5 megapixels. But the smaller the screen, the less likely it is to break it, so from the point of view of reliability, everything is super.

2018 New


There is a budget of 10,000 rubles, which is better to buy a smartphone? Read in the review about the best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles. The golden mean of quality and performance.

A very frequent and relevant question, which, frankly, is difficult to answer. And no, the point is not that this is a relatively small amount for which there is nothing worth picking up, but rather the opposite - this price segment is simply littered with really high-quality smartphones with a good camera, good sound, the majority is concentrated here. Be that as it may, we decided to select the most popular phone models on the market in the price segment from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles, which are most suitable for the price / quality ratio.

We took exactly the best-selling and most common solutions, so it is possible that some smartphones with more cool features, but less popular with us, were missed. we also examined separately, so we won’t go into this segment. Well, now we turn to the rating of the best phones with a price of up to 10,000 rubles.

Huge smartphones up to 10,000 rubles Oukitel U16 Max (phablet)

Cheap whopper. That's how I want to describe this phablet. already the name suggests that it is big. And he does it honestly, and not like his 5-inch counterparts with catchy consoles. It is written Max - get 6 inches. Yes, yes, before us is one of the cheaper Xiaomi Mi Max analogues. The smartphone is really big, quite thick and heavy, so some users will not be comfortable working with it. However, as sales show, the model is very popular. And still, given the price tag of 7500-8000 rubles. One of the best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in 2017 is made not only by the diagonal, but also by quite decent characteristics:

  • Current version
  • Matrix 6 ", but only - it will not be enough, although you can use
  • 13 and 5 megapixel modules are average, nothing more
  • Chipset - MTK6753 with 8 processing cores
  • 3 gigabytes of RAM, which, for sure, is enough for everyone
  • The drive is designed for 32 GB, the same amount can be added via a memory card
  • A smartphone with a rather large 4000 mAh battery, one charge of which, given not the highest resolution, is enough for 1-2 days

This is not the first time that Oukitel has managed to make completely competitive products, but often something is missing. In the case of the U16, Max fails the resolution. Still, at 6 inches, FullHD would have looked more organically. Be that as it may, with a similar diagonal in the price segment up to 10,000 rubles in 207, it will not be possible to find something better, and therefore the phone has earned a place in the ranking.

ZTE Blade V7

We move from hulks to more compact options. The price of ZTE Blade V7 just approaches the maximum amount of 10,000 rubles, which we will spend today on a brand new smartphone. This model represents the budget line ZTE, but according to the characteristics of the phone is comparable with many solutions of the middle segment. Firstly, the Blade V7 is presented in a metal case. Secondly, the smartphone received a FullHD-display with a high pixel density. Thirdly, he is ready to boast of decent hardware for this class.

  • Android we have 6th version
  • 5.2 ”IPS screen with FullHD - ideal ratio for many to enjoy the picture
  • A pair of 13 + 8 MP cameras that are capable of taking decent shots
  • Chip MT6753, as in the previous smartphone
  • 2 + 16 GB - I want more, but you can live with this volume
  • 2540 mAh battery is not the best choice for the declared characteristics

As in the case of the U16 Max, the disadvantage of this smartphone is limited by resolution. Only here it could not have been made so high, since a weak battery is used. And so, there are problems with autonomy, but they are not critical, since ZTE does a lot of work to optimize the hardware and software. In general, the ZTE Blade V7 is a good inexpensive phone, which in 2017 you can easily buy up to 10,000 rubles.

Umidigi crystal


Recently, the shelves of online stores replenished with the cheapest frameless smartphone, which at a cost of 8000-9500 rubles diverges like hot cakes. Despite the low price tag, Umidigi Crystal impresses not only with the lack of frames around the screen, but also with a rather productive hardware, as well as a dual main camera. If you planned to get acquainted with smartphones of this kind closer, then Umidigi allows you to do this as cheaply as possible. What else will attract the buyer new:

  • Android Nougat as OS
  • 5.5 ”IPS panel with FullHD, by the way, from Sharp, the company that first showed a frameless smartphone
  • Declared a pair of modules 13 + 5 megapixels as the main camera
  • 5-megapixel front camera
  • 8-core MT6750T overclocked chip
  • 4 + 64 GB of memory - these are now low-cost frameless smartphones
  • 3000 mAh battery

Of course, the smartphone deserves its place in the ranking of the best up to 10,000 rubles for 2017. Another thing is that he has not really been tested yet, since he came out relatively recently. However, given the zeal with which users are buying up the Umidigi Crystal, I really want to believe that we will get a really worthy inexpensive smartphone without frames.

Nokia 3


The legendary company returned to our market, bringing in a budget smartphone up to 10,000 rubles, which tried to become the best in 2017. He did not succeed in becoming the most sought after, but many will like it. The main drawback of Nokia 3 is its slightly overcharged price. Yes, we have before us a really high-quality assembled phone with quite acceptable characteristics, but obviously not for a price tag of almost 10,000 rubles. Here and without Nokia there are enough applicants for the title of the best smartphone, moreover with more impressive specifications. Be that as it may, if you are not one of those who scrupulously sort out the offers of Chinese stores one after another, but are used to buying at domestic points of sale, then Nokia 3 can be a very worthy option.

  • Android Nougat
  • Compact today 5 inches, HD
  • Budget cameras at 8 + 8 megapixels
  • Budget processor MT6737 - on this processor, many Chinese companies sell smartphones up to 5000 rubles
  • 2 + 16 GB - also budget volumes
  • 2630 mAh battery - a little on paper, but enough if not the most powerful “stuffing”

Nokia 3 could become in the domestic market the best smartphone up to 10,000 rubles in terms of price / quality, but without much effort you can find a more productive analogue. Meanwhile, the Nokia logo on the back is captivating and the workmanship is very high.

Meizu M5

And here is one of the main competitors of Nokia 3. It was shown a little earlier, and by today it has become one of the most popular smartphones in the price category up to 10,000 rubles. Moreover, the younger version with 2 + 16 GB of memory on Aliexpress can be purchased for only 6000 rubles. The phone can also be found in offline stores in Russia, but you will have to pay at least 2000 more. Meizu M5 is a beautiful budget solution of compact dimensions, which is ready to satisfy the needs of the vast majority of modern users. There are high-quality materials, a decent hardware, decent cameras, as well as a comfortable Flyme shell.

  • Bye Android Marshmallow
  • 5.2 ", IPS, 1280x720 pixels
  • 13 + 5 MP - good cameras with all the currently popular modes and effects
  • MT6750 with 8 cores - the ideal solution for a budget class
  • There is a version for 2 + 16 GB, there is a 3 + 32 GB
  • 3070 mAh battery

Meizu M5 is equipped with a fingerprint, combined with a multifunctional Home button. There is a set of the most needed sensors and wireless interfaces. The only noticeable drawback for some will be a polycarbonate case, which is not as reliable as the metal used in previous lines of the company. But pleasing is the abundance of color solutions, starting with white, ending with mint. Meizu M5 deservedly takes its place in our today's list of the best low-cost smartphones of 2017.

Again model from. However, it no longer has problems with screen resolution or autonomy. But what is already there, in front of us is one of the best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles with an excellent 6000 mAh battery. The K6000 Pro is a large device enclosed in an all-metal case that nicely extends your hand, hinting at the high battery capacity. But not only on autonomy, the manufacturer focuses on. The K6000 Pro has a powerful enough “filling” so that the user does not experience problems with the brakes in the newest games. Sufficient memory and the necessary wireless interfaces - all this is the most popular smartphone company.

  • Android Marshmallow, which is still relevant
  • 5.5 ”small screen with FHD
  • A tandem of decent 13 and 5 megapixel camera sensors that take very nice pictures
  • Mid-level MT6753 chipset with a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz
  • 3 + 32 GB memory
  • 6000 mAh large battery

If we talk about the cons, then the most noticeable can be called weight. But, taking into account the battery capacity, you will have to put up with the dimensions and weight. Also, the Oukitel K6000 Pro, which is distributed in the white color of the front panel, is pushed by very wide frames around the screen. Otherwise, an almost perfect smartphone up to 10,000 rubles with a good battery and good cameras.

Xiaomi Redmi 4X

Did you think that we forgot about one of the most popular manufacturers in 2017? And here it is not - we left Xiaomi phones for the most delicious. Here we have the cheapest manufacturer’s smartphone, which can be considered an alternative to Meizu M5.

There is an even cheaper Redmi 4A, but the price difference is not significant. Also quite a decent smartphone, but on a weaker chip and in a plastic case. In our opinion, it is Redmi 4X that looks more interesting.

The fact that we have before us one of the best phones of 2017 in terms of price / quality ratio is indicated by huge orders for Aliexpress - 15,000 from the most popular seller. Do you know which smartphone is selling even more actively? Another Xiaomi, about which a little lower. What does Redmi 4X offer us:

  • Still current version of Android with MIUI
  • 5 ”compact display with HD
  • A pair of budget cameras at 13 + 5 megapixels - however, some of the best for their money
  • Quad-core Snapdragon 435 - the cheapest smartphone on this chip
  • 2 or 3 GB of RAM / 16 or 32 GB of ROM
  • 4100 mAh high capacity battery

Xiaomi Redmi 4X managed in a few days after the release to become a killer of state employees - in the lower class it is the most successful smartphone. It is not even without such “chips” of older Xiaomi models, such as a fingerprint scanner and an aluminum case. The younger version of Redmi 4X will cost about 6500-7000 rubles - well, what is not the best smartphone in terms of price / quality ratio in 2017?

Meizu U10

A beautiful smartphone for stylish people. Meizu U10 was one of the first smartphones on the market, which received a glass case at a price of up to 10,000 rubles. At the sight of a smartphone, you can’t say that it costs about 8,000 rubles (in Russia it’s a little more expensive, but not more than 10,000 rubles). The chic design, complemented by quality materials, and the low price made Meizu U10 a welcome phone for many users. The company didn’t cheapen on other characteristics:

  • Android 6.0 Flyme Shell
  • 5 ”high-quality matrix, 1280x720 pixels
  • Tandem of a pair of cameras at 13 + 5 MP
  • MT6750 chip that will cope with any task
  • 2 + 32 gigabytes or 3 + 32 versions available
  • 2760 mAh battery - I would like something more substantial

Of the smartphones considered in our rating up to 10,000 rubles, Meizu U10 is one of the prettiest. It does not bypass the main competitors in synthetic benchmarks, cannot boast of better autonomy, but it offers a beautiful, ergonomic case and premium design.

There is also an advanced version of Meizu U20, which in our stores will cost a little more. It has a slightly more powerful processor, a larger screen (5.5 inches with FHD) and a more impressive battery. Externally, smartphones are identical.

And here is another new product that appeared in the price segment up to 10,000 rubles in the summer of 2017. once again experimenting. This time, the undertakings of Honor Magic, which was presented in the flagship segment in the winter, are taken as the basis. Before us is a beautiful smartphone of recent times, which has rounded 8 corners. It looks just super. But not only beauty this phone will win your heart. How about a 5050 mAh battery? Not bad, okay? When was the last time you saw such a stylish smartphone with a powerful battery. And other characteristics of an inexpensive smartphone are quite consistent with 2017:

  • Actual
  • Serious 5.5-inch display, 1920 × 1080 pixels
  • A pair of cameras on the back of 13 + 13 megapixels - decent options
  • 8-megapixel wide-angle front
  • Overclocked MTK6750T Chip
  • 4 + 64 GB of memory - that's enough for sure
  • Well, the highlight of the program is a 5050 mAh battery

Just note that the smartphone has a quick charge. So you will not only be left without recharging for a long time, but you can also fill the battery in a couple of hours. If you look at the number of sales, the Doogee BL5000 is one of the most successful smartphones of the company, naturally, after the frameless Mix. Will Doogee soon be on a higher rung? For BL5000 in bright colors, Chinese shops are asking in the region of 9000-10000 rubles.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

Here it is - the best smartphone up to 10,000 rubles in 2017. This phone is good at everything from the screen to autonomy. There is no game with which he could not cope, Redmi Note 4X takes good photos, can do without recharging for several days, and the metal case will not emit a squeak. The new Redmi Note is noticeably prettier if you recall last year's lineup. There were solutions in black, there is no longer a problem with wide black stripes around the screen. In general, the best low-cost smartphone.

  • Android Marshmallow augmented by MIUI
  • 5.5 ”screen with FHD and scratch-resistant glass
  • Decent 13 and 5 MP camera sensors
  • Energy-efficient 8-core Snapdragon 625 chip
  • 3 or 4 GB "operatives"
  • 16/32/64 GB ROM - for every taste
  • 4100 mAh providing good autonomy

Despite the large screen and capacious battery, Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is quite compact and lightweight. Not left without a fingerprint scanner, habitually located on the back of the smartphone. Since the model is relatively new, it will definitely receive a major upgrade to MIUI 9. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X has no serious minuses, so this phone is the best with a price tag of 10,000 rubles.

Conclusion

This segment, by the way, can be called the fastest growing. A huge number of third-tier companies mostly fill it. Interestingly, in 2017, in the range from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles, many solutions with the features of the latest flagships were presented.

No matter how attractive low-cost phones, public sector employees are different. There are really worthy smartphones with excellent functionality and high build quality, a review for which to make a pleasure. And there are also such devices, which, in addition to low prices, cannot boast of anything intelligible. One can distinguish one from the other by at least the manufacturer: the models of firms that will be listed below deserve to be given the coveted amount for them. But little-known companies should be afraid if you do not want to receive a failed smartphone in a month.

1. Huawei Honor 5C

TOP opens one of the best in the ranking of smartphones priced up to 10,000 rubles, manufactured by the Chinese brand Huawei. In just the last 5 years, the company has made a quantum leap, becoming one of the leaders in the mobile segment. Honor 5C is the manufacturer’s best-selling model. And this is no coincidence. A stylish metal case, a high-quality 4G LTE module for both SIM cards, a chic 5.2-inch Full HD screen are just a small part of why you should buy this gadget. The smartphone boasts a powerful processor for 8 cores with a frequency of 1700 to 2000 MHz and comfortable for working 2 GB of RAM.

The smartphone has got an AMOLED screen in 5 inches of 1280x720 format, 2 SIM cards with support for 4G LTE and excellent cameras for 8 and 5 megapixels, so the capabilities of the device can be called truly unlimited for its, of course, underestimated price.

Undoubtedly, the asset should also include the fact that the capacious battery of the smartphone at 4100 mAh allows it to work for up to two days.

The smartphone has got a fingerprint scanner, a 5.2-inch HD screen, a fast processor and 3 GB of RAM, but this is not the whole list of advantages of the gadget.

The rear camera is designed for as much as 16 megapixels, so you can take pictures on it only clear and high-quality.

In terms of basic parameters, the gadget can hardly get into the lead, since it does not offer anything supernatural, although all the functions that are available have been worked out quite qualitatively and reliably. This is an HD-screen, and support for LTE, and a very good processor with 4 cores. But Sony’s smartphone has a proprietary camera, which is an order of magnitude higher than standard ones.

Fortunately, there are no problems with powerful batteries in today's market for budget models. But there are some smartphones that are not easy for a long time, but incredibly long, keep charging. They are ideal for those who travel long distances or engage in vigorous activity in which there is no time for charging at all.

1. Philips S386

The first among the "long-playing" models is to consider an inexpensive flagship rating of the best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles with a powerful battery. Its price today does not exceed 6000-7000 rubles, which is very important from the point of view of accessibility to people with a low level of income.

And finally, in the tenth position in the ranking of the best smartphones in the budget of up to 10,000 rubles, the stylish Chinese Ulefone Power phone is comfortably located. Very narrow frames and a large 5.5-inch screen immediately attract attention to the device, which in general looks very, very interesting. The battery of the gadget is a real “monster” (at least in terms of nominal characteristics): the capacity of 6050 mA / h allows you to not charge the smartphone with an average use of up to 3 days, which in itself is an outstanding result. Of course, in practice, the figure is slightly less, but for 2-2.5 days the battery will definitely be enough.
