For many, choosing a smartphone turns into a long and confusing process. People look through dozens of models and watch many reviews before making their choice and buying a smartphone. It is especially difficult to choose a smartphone if you have a very limited budget. For example, if you choose a smartphone under 10,000 rubles. In this article we will try to help with choosing a smartphone under 10,000 rubles. So, we present to your attention the rating of the best smartphones under 10,000 rubles at the beginning of 2017 according to the Smartphonus website.

Xiaomi Redmi 3 is the third version of the popular smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi. Each time this model gets better and better. This time, the Chinese manufacturer managed to keep the price around 10,000 rubles while equipping the device with quite interesting, even by 2016 standards, technical characteristics.

This model received an aluminum body, a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1280×720 and a pixel density of 294 ppi, a 13 megapixel camera with F/2 aperture, 5 megapixel front camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 processor with eight cores and Adreno 405 graphics accelerator, 2 gigabytes random access memory, as well as a 4100 mAh battery.

As is customary for Chinese smartphones, Xiaomi Redmi 3 supports 2 SIM cards (micro SIM+nano SIM) and an SD memory card to expand the device’s internal memory.

Meizu M2 mini – another one worthy of attention chinese smartphone in the price range up to 10 thousand rubles.

This model is made in a plastic case and is available in various colors. As for the technical characteristics, they are a little more modest than those of the Xiaomi Redmi 3, but also interesting. It uses a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1280×720 and a pixel density of 294 ppi, a 13 megapixel rear camera with F/2.2 aperture, a 5 megapixel front selfie camera, a MediaTek MT6735 processor with four cores and clock frequency 1300 MHz (Mali-T720 graphics accelerator), 2 gigabytes of RAM and a 2500 mAh battery. There is support for two SIM cards and SD memory cards.

Of the features of this model, it should be noted protective glass. It doesn't use Gorilla Glass, but a glass called AGC Dragontrail.

Lenovo A6010 may be suitable for those who do not yet trust such openly Chinese brands as Xiaomi or Meizu. But for a well-known brand you have to pay a little extra. Therefore, the A6010 model from Lenovo also costs around 10,000 rubles, but has slightly worse characteristics than the Meizu M2 mini.

It uses a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280×720 and a pixel density of 294 ppi, an 8 megapixel rear camera, a 2 megapixel front camera, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with an Adreno 306 graphics accelerator and a frequency of 1.2 GHz, 1 gigabyte of RAM and a battery with a capacity of 2300 mAh

As in previous cases, the Lenovo A6010 has support for two SIM cards and SD memory cards.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime

Those who do not trust Chinese manufacturers at all and are looking for a more reliable option should pay attention to the model Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime. This smartphone under 10,000 rubles supports 2 SIM cards and has a typical Samsung design.

Galaxy Grand Prime is equipped with a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 540×960 and a pixel density of 220 ppi, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front camera, four nuclear processor with a clock frequency of 1200 MHz, 1 gigabyte of RAM, 8 gigabytes of internal memory, and a 2600 mAh battery.

Among phones under 10 thousand from LG, you can consider the LG Magna H502 model.

This smartphone is equipped with a 5-inch screen, 8 megapixel camera, 5 megapixel front camera, 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.9 GHz, 1 gigabyte of RAM, and a 2540 mAh battery.

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 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 account for 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 only in the lead, but by a large margin. This is explained by the fact that with funds available to most, you can buy a smartphone, which is not suitable except for those who like to load it with heavy games or those who want to use a smartphone for taking very high-quality photos and videos. All the other advantages of modern smartphones, e.g. big screen with HD resolution, a fingerprint scanner, 2-3 gigabytes of RAM (enough for good performance), a powerful battery that allows you to not recharge the phone for a couple of days, support for 4G LTE - all this can be found in a smartphone costing up to 10 thousand rubles. You just need to make a reservation that it 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 costing up to 10 thousand rubles for the summer of 2019 will help you choose the right model in this price range. The rating was compiled based on reviews in Yandex Market (the top 10 included smartphone models that scored at least half of the fives).
