The silver medal in the top category is occupied by the Taiwanese ZenFone 3 Max. Created on Android based 6.0 Marshmallow and proprietary ZenUI 3.0 shell, Asus is equipped with a 4-core MediaTek processor. It is intended for budget devices, therefore, it is not designed for demanding games. Own firmware assumes the presence of a large number installed programs occupying RAM.

The 5.2-inch screen has improved brightness, three times higher than the norm for inexpensive devices. The anti-glare system is well established. The cameras maintain precise detail, naturalness, and volume. There is an option to combine four photos into one with a resolution of 52 megapixels.

The ranking of the best smartphones under 10,000 rubles is headed by the budget M5 phablet. Externally, the device looks standard for the brand. Users have access to five phone colors:

turquoise;
blue;
gold;
black;
white.

The device is powered by an 8-core inexpensive MediaTek chipset. But that doesn't mean he's weak. Maximum gameplay, ultra-clear graphics, impressive performance, loud sound - characteristics characteristic of the M5 version.
Modern innovations have been introduced into the camera:

optical lenses;
dynamic range;
LED dual flash;
noise reduction option;
autofocus.

Daytime shooting impresses with precise details, absence of extra pixels, and wide viewing angles. Night mode creates partially noisy photos, but the noise adjustment option gets rid of them.

Pros:

super design;
very nimble, nothing hangs;
The battery lasts for 1.5 days of active use;
The Flyme shell is quite developed.

Minuses:

By carefully studying the market of modern telephone electronics, you can accurately determine which is the best smartphone under 10,000 rubles.

There are good ones on the market up to 10 thousand rubles Cell phones, collecting positive reviews. They are guaranteed to satisfy the needs of 90% of customers and allow them to communicate in social networks, watch videos on YouTube and sometimes even play. Next is the TOP 5 coolest smartphones with a price tag below 10 thousand rubles, which are appropriate to buy in the first and second quarters of 2019.

1st place – Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

This device was released in February 2018, but still remains one of the best in the low segment. Redmi Note 5 runs on Android 7.1 and will soon be updated to Android 9. Despite the fact that this is a budget phone, the phone has good hardware, which is usually found on mid-segment smartphones:

IPS screen, 6”, Full HD+, Gorilla Glass.
Processor: Snapdragon 636 (14nm) – an excellent mid-range chip.
Memory: 4/6 GB RAM + 64 GB disk.
Camera: 12 MP, f/2.2 + depth sensor with a resolution of 5 MP.
Front camera: 20 MP, f/2.2
Battery: 4000 mAh, support fast charging Quick Charge 2.0.
Wi-Fi 5 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, IR port, micro USB charging connector.

What's good: the smartphone is one of the best on the market for the money. It has great hardware, an amazing screen and cameras. Perhaps Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 shows up to 10,000 rubles top scores in terms of shooting. If it were Samsung, it would cost 16-18 thousand rubles with the same hardware. Well, autonomy is a separate advantage. The phone works freely for 2 days without recharging.

What's bad: old micro USB connector for charging, lack of an NFC chip. In Huawei, for example, NFC is present even in low-end phones.

2nd place – Xiaomi Redmi 6

This smartphone is more recent - it was released in June last year, but due to the Taiwanese MetiaTek processor, it turned out to be weaker compared to the previous line - Redmi 5.

So, the phone is equipped with a 5.45” HD screen, runs on a 12nm MediaTek Helio P22 processor, 3 GB of RAM; There is not much memory for storage - 32 or 64 GB. Rear – 2 cameras with resolutions 12 + 5 megapixels; The aperture on each lens is f/2.2. Front camera – with a resolution of 5 megapixels. You shouldn't expect high quality shooting, as the sensors here are weak. However, the phone takes excellent photographs in daylight.

The battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh and can withstand two days of operation without recharging. Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 4.2 included. In terms of hardware, the smartphone is inferior to Redmi Note 5, but not in quality.

What's bad: old charging connector, HD screen on which you can see pixels if you look closely, inaccurate auto-brightness, speaker volume. There are also complaints about the proximity sensor, but they are few.

If Redmi Note 5 for any reason is not suitable for you, then look towards Redmi 6 - an excellent device for little money.

3rd place – Huawei Honor 7C

Another Chinese device running on Android 8 Oreo OS. Its feature is the presence of an NFC chip and Google Pay contactless payment technology. In the “up to 10 thousand” category, this is one of the few devices that has NFC, so if the presence of this function is fundamentally important, then feel free to take the Honor 7C.

Options:

Screen: 5.7”, HD resolution.
Rear camera: 12 + 2 MP.
Front camera: 8 MP.
Processor: Snapdragon 430 + Adreno 505 graphics.
Memory: 3 GB RAM + 32 GB disk, dedicated slot for flash drive, which does not take up space for the second SIM.
Battery: 3000 mAh.
Communications and connectors: Micro USB, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2.

The hardware here is frankly weak, but the phone can pay for purchases in stores, takes good photographs during the day and is made in a durable plastic case. Judging by the reviews, the sound here is great, there is a protective film on the screen out of the box, plus there is face unlock technology, but it is not advisable to trust it.

Cons: no 5 GHz Wi-Fi, very slippery body, screen with no brightness reserve, HD resolution, NFC reads the number but does not write it, old micro USB connector.

4th place – ZTE Blade V9 Vita

The phone came out in the second half of 2018 and managed to assemble good feedback. The ZTE brand itself is not very popular in Russia, but you can trust it. This model out of the box it comes with Android 8.1, is made of plastic, supports 2 nano SIM cards.

Characteristics:

Screen: 5.45”, 1440×720.
Camera: 13 + 2 MP, f/2.
Front camera: 8 MP.
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 + Adreno 505 graphics.
Memory: 3/32 GB + flash drive slot.
Battery: 3200 mAh.
Communications and connectors: NFC, micro-USB, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 4.2, face recognition technology.

ZTE Blade V9 Vita is a high-quality device with normal hardware for its price. It copes with everyday tasks, allows you to sit comfortably on social networks and even take pictures; it fits comfortably in your hand, does not glitch and does not heat up during operation. The presence of NFC is a separate plus. As I already said, this is a rarity in the low segment, which makes the ZTE Blade V9 Vita stand out from the rest of the Chinese, in particular Xiaomi.

Cons: The sound volume of applications is not always properly adjusted; when shooting in portrait mode, the background blur is inaccurate. And most importantly, the difficulty of finding components. If you break your phone or it breaks, repairs can be expensive.

5th place – Vivo Y81

Options:

Android 8.1 OS + update to Android 9 Pie in the future.
Screen: 6.22 inches, HD resolution, 270 ppi.
Camera: 13 MP, f/2.2.
Front camera: 5 MP.
Processor: MediaTek Helio P22 (12nm) + PowerVR GE8320 graphics.
Memory: 3/4 GB RAM + 32 GB disk. There is a slot for a microSD card.
Battery: 3260 mAh.
Communications and connectors: micro USB, Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.0, 3.5 mm headphone output.

Vivo Y81 is not much different from other mid-segment devices. The only thing is that it is bigger. The phone is quite productive and energy efficient, does not get very hot during operation and is a workhorse that copes with all standard tasks. To Vivo's credit, the phone doesn't lag and is a good choice for the money. By the way, Vivo is in third place in the Chinese market.

What’s bad: you won’t find accessories for sale, and you’ll also have problems finding components if your phone breaks down. The charging connector is an old micro USB, but this seems to be normal in the low segment. There is also no fingerprint scanner, instead it uses facial recognition technology, which is less reliable than a regular fingerprint scanner.

In this review, I want to look at the best smartphones under 10,000 rubles. Let's get acquainted with their characteristics, find out how much they cost, consider their positive and negative sides. We will select the optimal models in terms of price/quality ratio.

Consider the following parameters:

best for gaming;
with a good camera;
the best of the Chinese models;
with good battery;
the best of Samsung;
best of Xiaomi;
good model on Android;
the best of Lenovo's models;
with good sound;
best up to 5 inches.

Smartphone Neffos C5

The Neffos C5 smartphone is a product of the Chinese company TP-Link, best known for producing routers and entering the smartphone market only in 2016. The device has a 5-inch IPS screen with HD resolution, which provides a bright picture, natural color reproduction, and good viewing angles.

The performance is driven by the MediaTek MT6735 processor, often found in budget smartphones, with 4 cores and a frequency of up to 1.3 GHz. He is quite capable of solving everyday problems, problems arise with games - some of them work normally only with average and low settings. Pre-installed OS – Android 5.1. TP-Link has equipped the device with a battery with a capacity of 2200 mAh. Under moderate loads, the smartphone lasts about 1.5 days without recharging.

You shouldn’t expect amazing picture quality from the 8 MP main camera, even on sunny days. Sometimes the situation improves when HDR mode is turned on, but only if there are no moving objects in the frame. At the same time, the camera copes well with macro photography.

The device is available in two colors – dark gray and white. When purchasing, pay attention to the build quality - sometimes it happens that the back cover of the device creaks a little.
