3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC

battery 4200 mAh

This budget phone promises to become the king of inexpensive smartphones with a good camera and battery. Despite the price of only 90 dollars or 6,367 rubles (this price will be on AliExpress from June 6-7, in Russian stores it may be more expensive) the smartphone received a camera with 4 sensors, a screen that occupies 90.3% of the front panel area and even NFC chip for contactless payments. The square camera unit along with the LED flash is beautifully integrated into the back cover.

The only things that speak about its budget are its screen resolution - 1520x720, a small amount of RAM and a MediaTek Helio A22 processor, which can easily cope with web surfing, 3-5 open applications and casual games. But modern games at high settings can be an impossible task for him.

The front camera with the Samsung S5K2T7 sensor has a resolution of 20 MP, this should be enough so that the quality of the selfies you take does not make you blush in front of your friends and followers on Instagram.

Pros : there is a 3.5 mm headphone port, fast charging function, face unlock works.

Cons : sales will begin on June 6, while you can add it to your cart on AliExpress.
After the promotion, the smartphone will cost more – about 12,500 rubles.

RAM: 4 GB
memory: 128 GB, memory card slot
3 cameras: 48 MP, 2 MP, 2 MP
battery: 6000 mAh
Snapdragon 662 processor

One of the best representatives of inexpensive smartphones with a good camera and battery. Meet Poco M3 - a new budget bestseller from Xiaomi with an interesting design solution (textured back panel, leather-like). It seems simple, but it looks very nice.

The smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 662 processor, 4GB of RAM and expandable storage. There are stereo speakers, there is a fingerprint scanner, there is support for fast charging, but there is no NFC module.

But what really sets this smartphone apart from the rest is its battery life. M3 is capable of working for about 40 hours in constant talk mode, or 196 hours in music playback mode, or 17 hours in video playback mode.

The M3 has a triple camera: a 48 MP main camera, a 2 MP macro lens and a 2 MP depth sensor. The Xiaomi Poco M3's camera app is one of the best - intuitive and easy to use. There are many useful modes (filming documents, short videos, time-lapses, etc.) that will be useful to everyone - from Instagram bloggers to people photographing receipts in stores.

Advantages and disadvantages

interesting design

fast interface

practically does not heat up

no NFC

Realme C3

smartphone with Android 10
screen 6.52″, resolution 1600×720
three cameras 12 MP/2 MP/2 MP, autofocus
memory 64 GB, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
RAM capacity 3 GB
battery 5000 mAh

One of the inexpensive smartphones with a good battery and camera in 2020 has the same drawback as many of its colleagues - low pixel density (269 ppi). This may cause the image to appear slightly grainy.

But this can be forgiven given the many advantages of the Realme C3, such as a capacious battery, a separate memory card slot and a good triple camera. Even if you take photos or videos indoors with artificial lighting, the photos will turn out bright, clear and have enough contrast.

The front camera is only 5MP, so don't expect fantastic selfie quality. But it has AI beauty and face unlocking.

The MediaTek Helio G70 processor allows you to play most modern games at medium or low settings.

Pros : the design looks expensive, the fingerprint scanner works quickly, good sound quality in headphones.

Cons : micro-USB connector, not very loud speaker.

Meizu Pro 7 Plus 64GB

Maybe not the latest smartphone from Meizu, but still relevant. And it can surprise you with the presence of a second display on the back of the body: it can be used not only to display notifications, but also to take selfies with the main camera.

It uses a 32-bit Cirrus Logic CS43130 DAC with a built-in headphone amplifier. The sound is said to be at a very high level and can outshine most competitors. Despite the lack of stereo speakers, the sound from the speaker is very good.

Screen diagonal: 5.7 inches

Screen resolution: 2560×1440

Weight: 170 g

Number of SIM cards: 2

Processor: MediaTek Helio X30

OPPO A9 (2020)

smartphone with Android 9.0
screen 6.5″, resolution 1600×720
four cameras 48 MP/8 MP/2 MP/2 MP, autofocus
memory 128 GB, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
RAM capacity 4 GB
battery 5000 mAh

The Chinese company, when releasing this smartphone to the market, decided not to skimp on three things: design, battery capacity and cameras.

The main sensor of the rear camera has a 48 MP matrix with Quad Bayer, a wide-angle lens and two sensors with a resolution of 2 MP. According to the manufacturer, their presence is necessary for improved portrait mode.

The quality of the images can be described as “4 points out of 5”: during the day you will get an excellent photo with natural color rendition and maximum details, but as soon as you start shooting at night without turning on the night mode, digital noise will appear in abundance.

The selfie camera with a resolution of 16 MP has an automatic HDR mode, and it’s not a shame to post the daytime and evening self-portraits it takes on social networks.

As you would expect from a good smartphone under 20,000 rubles, this model has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor. There should be no problems with performance unless you run a heavy game on ultra settings or open 10 applications at the same time.

But what OPPO saved on was the screen resolution and pixel density - 270 ppi. Because of this, the screen is slightly grainy, but not critical.

Pros : stereo speakers, can act as a Power Bank, has a headphone jack.

Cons : lack of fast charging.

Meizu Pro 6 32Gb

Device from Meizu. The Pro 6 received high-quality sound: a two-channel Cirrus Logic CS43L36 DAC was installed, and an NXP Smart PA Gen 3 power amplifier is responsible for the sound from the speaker. Although, according to some reviews, the previous Pro 5 model sounded a little better. In any case, most reviews are extremely positive.

Otherwise, it’s a powerful smartphone with a 5.2-inch screen. The installed processor is MediaTek Helio X25 (MT6797T), 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal memory, a fingerprint scanner, a decent 21 MP camera, a metal body, etc.

And now the most interesting thing - Meizu Pro 6 was released in 2021, but when these lines were written, it could still be found on sale new! However, it cannot be ruled out that we are talking about refurbished devices disguised as new ones. Be careful.

Screen diagonal: 5.2 inches

Screen resolution: 1920×1080

Weight: 160 g

Number of SIM cards: 2

Processor: MediaTek Helio X25 (MT6797T)

Vivo V17

smartphone with Android 9.0
screen 6.5″, resolution 1600×720
four cameras 48 MP/8 MP/2 MP/2 MP, autofocus
memory 128 GB, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
RAM capacity 4 GB
battery 4500 mAh

This bright, youthful smartphone immediately attracts attention, if not with its characteristics, then with the interesting location of the main camera. It is made in the shape of a diamond and includes four sensors:

main 48 MP (by default it shoots in the “four pixels in one” mode, with a resolution of 12 MP),
8 MP wide-angle module,
2 MP macro lens (given the low resolution it is more “for show”),
2 MP telephoto lens for portrait mode shooting with bokeh effect.

If you are too lazy to manually set the optimal shooting parameters, you can entrust this task to artificial intelligence, it will do everything automatically.

The front camera on the Vivo V17 is surprisingly good - it has a resolution of 32 MP and comes with a beauty camera to enhance selfies. An interesting feature: you can control shooting using gestures.

The battery, although not equipped with wireless charging, supports 15W fast charging and is fully charged in 2 hours.

Otherwise, Vivo V17 is a solid average. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor is far from top-end, but it can handle any game at high or medium settings. The screen has an AMOLED matrix, which means it is more energy efficient than IPS screens. The image looks bright, but at the same time natural, and clearly visible.

Pros : design, AoD, you can unlock your smartphone by face, there is a 3.5 mm audio output.

Cons : At high volumes the speaker begins to distort the sound.

Top 1. Xiaomi Redmi 10 4GB/64Gb

Front camera: 8 MP, f/2.0
Battery: 5000 mAh
Weight: 181 g

New for 2021, which already looks like the best offer in the budget price segment. The model stands out for its good camera and long-lasting battery. It looks great, the size is ideal for most users, and the cameras are the best you can imagine for up to 16 thousand rubles. A 50-megapixel sensor is used as the main module. It does its job well in good lighting conditions and does a good job when the light is less than necessary. The front camera is ordinary. The battery lasts for a day and there is fast 18-watt charging. Bonus from the manufacturer: screen refresh rate is 90 Hz instead of the standard 60.

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro

Android smartphone
screen 6.47″, resolution 2340×1080
five cameras 108 MP/12 MP/20 MP/5 MP/2MP, autofocus
memory 256 GB, without memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
RAM capacity 8 GB
battery 5260 mAh

The screen of the smartphone, which currently heads the Mi Note lineup, has a high-quality anti-reflective and oleophobic coating, and its brightness varies from 2 cd/m² to 580 cd/m². Therefore, both in the sun and in the dark, reading text with Mi Note 10 Pro is easy and convenient.

A selfie camera with a resolution of 32 MP is hidden in a small cutout. The photographs taken by her have almost flawless detail and sharpness. You can also blur the background for portrait mode.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G processor is the golden mean between the top-end Snapdragon 800 and the mid-range Snapdragon 600. Any application and, more pleasantly, any modern game will run on the Mi Note 10 Pro without stuttering and at the highest graphics settings.

The 108 MP resolution of the main rear camera sensor is a marketing ploy. By default, it shoots (and does it very well) at 27 MP, and then uses the Intelligent Pixel Blending feature. However, you can take pictures at maximum resolution.

The main camera has two modules at once, responsible for 2x and 5x optical zoom. A 117-degree 20 MP sensor with laser autofocus is responsible for ultra-wide-angle shooting. And finally, fifth on the list is a 2-megapixel macro camera.

Pros : there is a 3.5 mm audio output, a loud speaker, fast 30 W charging, a very fast under-screen scanner.

Cons : heavy, the camera block sticks out a lot, you can’t install a memory card, wireless charging is not supported.

Expected smartphones of 2021

Next, let's look at three expected new products for 2021. The models will receive capacious batteries and high-quality cameras. The exact dates for the start of sales are still unknown - most likely, the handsets will appear on Russian storefronts in the first quarter.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro

Android smartphone
screen 6.67″, resolution 2400×1080
four cameras 64 MP/8 MP/5 MP/2 MP, autofocus
memory 64 GB, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
RAM capacity 6 GB
battery 5020 mAh

The Redmi Note 9 Pro display has a high resolution, but a low maximum brightness of 450 nits. While reading in daylight won't be a problem, you won't be able to enjoy the content on the display in its true colors.

An interesting innovation of Redmi Note 9 Pro is the transfer of the fingerprint scanner to the side power key. This solution is intuitive, accessible with one hand and unlocks your smartphone very quickly.

The performance of this inexpensive smartphone with a good camera and battery is at a high level, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G hardware platform, introduced in January 2020. It is designed for smartphones in the mid-price segment and will cope with any task, including a demanding game on ultra settings and several simultaneously running applications.

8 MP wide-angle sensor with 119 degree field of view,
5 MP macro camera with autofocus,
and finally, a 2-megapixel depth sensor.

Photos taken with these smartphones look very natural, with excellent sharpness and lots of fine detail. However, at night, the quality of photography drops, graininess and artifacts appear. This is “treated” by using the night mode.

On the front, Redmi Note 9 Pro has a 16-megapixel selfie camera that will give you bright, detailed images with good color reproduction.

Pros : elegant design, loud speaker sound, there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, the square shape of the camera module allows the smartphone to lie steadily on a flat surface, fast charging.

Cons : heavy (209 grams), there are advertisements in the firmware, no wireless charging.

memory 128 GB, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
RAM capacity 6 GB
battery 6000 mAh

The camera, battery life and display are the most important factors for many people when choosing a new smartphone. And it is these parameters that Samsung focused on when developing the Galaxy M31.

Its 6.4-inch Infinity-U Super AMOLED display offers wide viewing angles, vibrant colors, deep blacks and plenty of brightness.

The M31 is Samsung's cheapest phone with a 64-megapixel rear camera, although it shoots at 16-megapixel resolution by default. Photos taken during the day or in good artificial light have plenty of detail and good dynamic range. But pictures taken in night mode have the effect of watercolor painting, and often their details are blurred, although it should be the other way around.

The M31 is also Samsung's cheapest phone with 4K video recording (at 30fps).

By default, selfies will be taken at 8MP resolution, but you can switch to 32MP mode if you want to see more detail.

This model is powered by the Exynos 9611 chipset and its gaming performance is quite good in games like Call of Duty and PUBG, at least with default graphics settings. The phone may stutter when you initially load the game and start playing, but these stutters disappear after 1-2 minutes.

Cons : the back panel gets dirty and scratched easily, you can't do without a cover.

The front camera of the device is equipped with a 32 MP module, and the main one is equipped with three modules at once, including a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle with a viewing angle of 123 degrees, a 12 MP wide-angle and a 12 MP telephoto lens with optical image stabilization and 2x optical zoom.

In addition, the selfie camera can be controlled using the S Pen. In video mode, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite's camera will not let you down either; thanks to its super stabilization mode, there will be no image shake in dynamic scenes.

Video shooting can be done at a maximum resolution of 3840×2160 at 30-60 fps, and with a resolution of 1080p at 30-60 fps. However, optical stabilization is only available when shooting at 30 fps.

The rear camera includes three modules:

main lens 50 MP,
periscope 12 MP (with 5x zoom),
ultra-wide-angle 20 MP.

Users report that the HUAWEI Mate 40 Pro runs very smoothly, stays cool even when gaming, and charges very quickly thanks to 66W charging.

smartphone with Android 10
Dual SIM support
screen 6.78″, resolution 3168×1440

memory 128 GB, without memory card slot

battery 4510 mAh

Everything about this smartphone is great, from the bright AMOLED screen with high resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, to IP68 waterproofing and the powerful Snapdragon 865 mobile platform, which will handle any task at maximum settings.

The pride of OnePlus 8 Pro, in addition to the screen and a capacious battery with super-fast charging, is the main camera. It has optical stabilization and HDR, can record 4K video at 60 fps and supports macro mode. And although Honor View 30 Pro takes better pictures, Proshka is not far behind it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s day or night, with this gadget you’ll take a great photo anyway.

The front-facing 16-megapixel camera will take clear, contrasty and bright selfies, but its resolution is inferior to models in the same price range or even lower. For example, the front camera of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is better.

Pros : stereo speakers, case included, beautiful design, wireless charging.

Cons : no memory card slot.
