10. Honor 8S

Huawei has two lenses, it works autonomously for two days. The 5.71-inch screen offers rich colors, muted blacks and comfortable viewing angles. On the right are the volume and power buttons, conveniently located for the thumb. On the left is dual sim and a microSD tray.

At the bottom is the micro USB port and speaker. The headphone jack is located at the top. The Honor 8S has a back cover included in the package, as well as an IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1440 × 720 px. The bezel along the screen is not wide, which has a positive effect on the design. Color reproduction is average, which is expected from an entry-level smartphone. Powered by EMUI 9.0, Android Pie. The system is convenient and easy to use, and is also equipped with Google applications.

The 8S has a Helio A22 chipset, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Calls, texting, social media use, web browsing, and videos are not overwhelming.

Due to the small amount of RAM, mobile games "stutter". Switching between apps will freeze, requiring you to restart your device. The battery, with a capacity of 3020 mAh, charges in 2 hours 41 minutes. With intensive use, the autonomy will last for 5 hours.

The 13MP lens works decently in the daytime, but is not usable in low light conditions. Autofocus must be adjusted manually. The Honor 8S is an entry-level device that delivers adequate performance. A big minus is a weak battery and a lens. As a budget gadget, it is not meant for heavy users. An excellent choice for those switching from a regular device to a smartphone.

6. Moto G7 Play

The most inexpensive and smallest device of the G7 family. There are no glossy body lines or metallic reflections here, but the internal specs are unmatched in this price range. Moto is handling the competition from Nokia and Honor.

The front is a 5.7-inch LCD screen, the rear is a lens and flash, and speakers are practically placed on the sides of the lens. Display with a resolution of 1512 × 720 pixels. The pixel saturation is 294 PPI. The screen is bright, large, the colors are oversaturated, but they can be adjusted.

Moto has a high performance processor. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 chip is more efficient than Mediatek, which is usually found in devices under 10,000 rubles. Motorola has saved on RAM, so games and apps slow down. The built-in memory is 32 GB, there is a slot for micro SD. Wi-Fi connection sometimes drops but connects again.Powered by Android 9.0 Pie operating system.

Motorola versus Nokia 3.1 Plus? does not support NFC, which enables payments via Google Pay.

The level of detail is decent, the colors are bright. Copes poorly with contrasting lighting, often overexposing lighter areas. In the presence of an 8 MP front camera, which is suitable for selfies. 3000mAh battery. Wireless charging is not supported.

The G7 Play lacks glamor, but it is offset by decent performance and long battery life. Nokia 3.1 Plus is cheaper, supports NFC, but is slower in terms of performance.

5. Nokia 3.1 Plus

HMD Global manufactures the Nokia 3.1 Plus based on the Cricket Wireless. This is a budget gadget with high battery life and decent performance. Close to climbing higher in the rankings, if not for the camera. Similar to other Nokia with a centered camera and a fingerprint sensor on the back. The matte blue shade makes it stand out among the many black devices.

The back is made of polycarbonate with an aluminum frame. The edges are rounded for a comfortable grip. The Nokia 3.1 is large, so it's hard to reach the top of the screen with your finger if you hold it with one hand.

The matte back paneling is easily soiled, but easy to clean. The polycarbonate shell is removable, but the battery cannot be replaced. The microSD tray will come in handy, since the built-in memory (32 GB) fills up quickly. A headphone jack is located in the standard place.

Powerful bezels surround the 5.99-inch IPS LCD screen. At the top is the speaker, Nokia logo and selfie camera. The gadget has a wide bezel along the display, which is not in line with current trends, but the rounded edges make it look more modern.

The model has a screen with a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels. Colors look a little muted. The big nuisance is the dim display, so there are problems with display in daylight.

Videos on Netflix and YouTube don't look sharp. Motorola offers better picture quality and more realistic colors. The fingerprint sensor is finicky, with stuttering on Instagram and Twitter.

Draws games that do not require a lot of graphics power. Due to the low frame rate, it is unlikely that you will be able to play PUBG Mobile, Breakneck or Alto's Odyssey.

A near field communication (NFC) sensor is rarely found in budget devices, but Nokia can boast of it. The back of the smartphone has a dual camera of 13 and 5 MP. This combination allows you to take vivid photos with a bokeh effect. Any movement of the subject or hand shake will create a blurry photo, as the lens has trouble focusing in low light conditions. A USB Type-C port is provided for fast charging.

Nokia is not bad, but if there is an opportunity to spend a little more money, then it is better to purchase the previous member of the rating - Moto G7 Play.

The model has a weak camera, there is no fresh version of Android, but the removable battery lasts for the whole day and a solid display is installed.Plus, the phone has decent performance and a nice design, making it popular.

There is nothing spectacular or special about the E5 Play. It's simple, with chunky bezels surrounding the front of the screen and textured skin.

The resolution of the IPS display is 1520 × 720 pixels. The screen is bright despite its low price point. It automatically adjusts saturation based on the amount of light around, and is also quite energy efficient.

The Samsung Galaxy A10 runs on Android Pie with Samsung One UI software version 1.1. It is worth noting that this is one of the best mobile operating systems that does not contain a lot of third-party programs.The Exynos 7884 chipset and 2GB of RAM are more than enough for the speedy performance of an entry-level device. The gadget takes good photos, but cannot cope with the blurred background effect. Colors are balanced and details appear crisp and accurate.

The A10 is a quality entry-level gadget with a stunning display and high performance. Reasonably priced.

1.Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

Redmi Note 7 has optimized software, excellent camera and long battery life. Perhaps this is the best budget smartphone at the moment. Xiaomi used a glass sandwich design. The device looks sturdy and the finish is impeccable. The device is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, 0.8 mm thick. The glass is slippery and worth paying attention to.

The model has a high-contrast 6.3-inch LTPS-type LCD display. The screen is bright, watching video in the sun is not a problem. Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 coupled with Adreno 512 GPU shows acceptable results. You can comfortably play PUBG Mobile on high graphics settings with minor frame interruptions. The same goes for Shadowgun as well as Asphalt 9: Legends.

Application load times are faster than competitors in the rankings. Copes with multitasking. The fingerprint scanner's response is fast. Redmi Note 7 is powered by MIUI 10 built on top of Android Pie 9.0.

At the back, a 48 and 5 MP dual main camera is installed, which provides flawless pictures. It is also important to bear in mind that full 48-megapixel images take up a lot of space on the phone (40-50 MB). The aperture (f / 1.79) copes equally well with both day and night photography. The Note 7 records video in 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps. Autofocus is fast, but 4K shooting requires a stabilizer. The 4000 mAh battery ensures intensive daily work.

Redmi Note 7 is a nimble smartphone that is difficult to compare with others, if you remember the budget of 10,000 rubles.
