Top 10 smartphones up to 8000 rubles

Immediately we draw your attention - in the stores of cellular operators the prices for the model in question are simply “space”. Fortunately, Xiaomi products are now a dime a dozen, so finding an adequate offer in almost any city will not be difficult.

If you put performance at the forefront, and reliability is in your mind, there are no competitors for smartphones of the “national” brand. The Ix version of the Redmi 4 line is preferable in terms of battery capacity, and it has no other significant differences from 4A.

Unfortunately, only a 16-gigabyte modification of the device fits into the price range of the review (the best smartphones up to 8,000 rubles). Of course, the memory card will save the situation, but only partially. First, it is necessary to refuse the second sim card. Secondly, install applications there will not work. At least, without “dancing with a tambourine” around the firmware.

Among other shortcomings, it makes sense to mention the lack of an NFC module and a proprietary bug with support for the B20 range. Rather, its absence. However, there is evidence that the company releases a special global hardware version, in which these frequencies are still supported.

The entry level model from Xiaomi. The Chinese company believes that a fingerprint scanner of this class does not rely on a fingerprint scanner, it will completely do without rounded glass (which is 2.5D), it is not even toughened here, and the smartphone does not pretend to be made of metal.

Everything else is quite worthy, although not without regard to the price category up to 8000, and customer reviews about this smartphone are very good. Demanding games Redmi 5A will not pull, if you do not lower the bar of quality too low, but for the trivial tasks of the power reserve at the hardware platform is enough. The screen is relatively good. For the quality of photos taken by the main camera, you will not have to blush in front of your friends. When shooting in normal conditions, of course. A separate slot for microSD developers did not squeeze. True, a memory card is useful only for storing content, as far as applications are not put on it. In any case, without dancing with the famous shamanic musical instrument. Another nice thing is that the smartphone is friendly with the B20 range.

The most affordable smartphone from Meizu. It will be interesting to those who do not pursue game records and photographic masterpieces, but loves to dig into the firmware, adjust, optimize and control everything that the system allows. Suffice it to say that it is very easy to get root-rights on the M5c, and an impressive community of owners of this model allows you to find a lot of ready-made solutions with clear instructions and cope with most of the problems that arise.However, if you are looking for a good and reliable phone with a simplified interface for an elderly person - do not pass by, either. The strength of the device is a convenient multifunction button mBack. In more advanced smartphones of this brand, it is combined with a fingerprint scanner. Unfortunately, it is not here. Hybrid tray. The GLONASS navigation system does not support the device.

The Lenovo single navigation key is less convenient than a Meizu solution. Here it is a budget sensory, so the probability of false positives is much higher. This refers to involuntary locking the smartphone instead of returning to the main screen. But here is a fingerprint scanner. True, he does not always react to wet fingers. In general, these ambiguities in Moto E4 enough. For example, the contrast of the display is high, and the maximum brightness is so-so. The slots are separate and the battery is removable, but the second overlaps the first ones, so changing the SIM card without turning off the device will not work. The operating system is almost pure Android. On the one hand, nothing superfluous is good. On the other - some applications are clearly not enough. The hardware platform is not gaming unambiguously, but everyday tasks are never put into a dead end. The main camera is not impressive, to put it mildly, but the front camera shoots decently (for this price category).

In contrast to the above model M5c, a fingerprint scanner is available here. True, in the early firmware, he did not know how to wake the smartphone from sleep. It is possible that the bug has already been fixed.However, this feature can be a kind of indicator of the budget of the smartphone. Then its owner will have to pre-enable the screen, and then proceed to the authentication procedure.

On the other hand, the Meizu M6 boasts such a flagship feature as the ability to memorize the most frequently used application, as well as analyze the conditions for its launch and load the necessary data into the cache in advance. In addition, devices in this price group are still extremely rarely equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi modules.

Among other technical issues, we note the appearance of the Sharp IGZO matrix, with improved color rendering and slightly reduced viewing angles, and the IMX 278 sensor with new color filters. At night, the M6 ​​main camera didn’t take a cool shot, but the daytime photos have improved a lot.

The chip of this smartphone is the original back cover. She is able to create various lighting effects to the music and without, tries to depict the icons of applications that caused the occurrence of events (for example, a notification has arrived), and even in an inactive state is a pretty decorating element, clearly distinguishing the owner A5 Led 5085D from the crowd. The part is removable, it is difficult to detach, and this is already bad. The fact is that the slots for the memory card and a pair of SIMs are located under the cover, because their quick replacement is impossible.

In technical terms, the smartphone is absolutely nothing impressive. The necessary LTE-ranges are supported, the fingerprint scanner is deprived, the screen is bright. Unfortunately, the minimum level of illumination of the latter is also too high. From theoretical bonuses - there is a modification 5085Y, equipped with an NFC module instead of a second SIM-card.

Not everyone needs smartphones that are gaining a record number of “parrots” in benchmarks, or capable of displaying an ultra-clear picture on the screen. Moreover, such achievements automatically imply significant power consumption and, accordingly, less time on a single charge. On such undemanding users and focused on the popular line of Alcatel PIXI. It is difficult to call the model we recommend as a novelty, since it was announced a year ago, although it appeared relatively recently. The phone has three advantages: a large diagonal, a very capacious battery and bright colors of the case. Actually, everything else can be attributed to the conditional minuses: the fourth-generation smartphone network does not support, the hardware stuffing is frankly weak, the cameras are mediocre. On the other hand, for watching online video and social networks, there is enough 3G capability, platform performance is enough for surfing and multimedia tasks, and even more expensive devices sometimes cannot boast of high quality photos.
