This smartphone model has the right to exist, not only in the modern world, but also in our TOP-10

4th place. Meizu M3 Max 64Gb

In fourth place in our ranking is the Meizu M3 Max 64Gb.

Summing up:

We reviewed the ten best smartphones that we can buy up to 15,000 rubles in Russia, what can you say about these smartphones? Only that each of them is unique in its own way and flawlessly good. We have selected these models, but as we know, everyone sets the selection criteria himself and each of us has his own opinion, so you may like any of these smartphones and you will buy it and you will leave positive reviews about it. Thank you for the attention you have shown to us while reading this article.

There is an opinion that there is no point in buying a smartphone for more than 15,000 rubles now, since in this segment there are many really balanced models with a good camera and performance that can cope with any tasks of the vast majority of users without burdening the pocket.

In support of this idea, we will show you the best smartphones up to 15 thousand rubles, but is it rational to overpay for more expensive devices, let everyone decide for himself.

No. 10 - Nokia 4.2

Price: from 10,700 rubles online, 12,990 in retail.

• Screen: 5.71 inches, IPS, FullHD +.
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 439;
• Memory: 32/3 GB, microSD up to 400 GB (separate slot);
• Camera: main 13 + 2 MP; frontal 8 MP;
• Battery: 3,000 mAh, MicroUSB;
• Features: NFC.

The top opens with a very controversial, but in its own way interesting device from the cult Finnish brand. Nokia 4.2 is a kind of ultra-budget device at maximum speed, which is doing very well in terms of materials and build quality, but sad in terms of characteristics. The device is made in an expensive looking and tactilely pleasant glass and metal body. It has interesting hardware features, such as NFC and a backlight built into the power button, which acts as a notification indicator. In addition, this is a very miniature phone by modern standards, which is really convenient to use with one hand.

But if you choose a device based on its characteristics, and not how it feels to use, then feel free to scroll further. HD screen and weak processor, which is offered by the Redmi 7A at a cost of almost 2 times cheaper (review by), as well mediocre cameras do not allow to recommend Nokia 4.2 to demanding users. For the sake of fairness, we note that the phone's performance does not cause any particular complaints: even with a modest hardware, thanks to pure Android, it works quite fast, so it can be a good choice for the fair sex.

No. 9 - Sony Xperia L3

Price: from 11 679 rubles online, 14 990 at retail.

• Screen: 5.7 inches, IPS, FullHD +;
• Processor: MedaTek Helio P22;
• Memory: 32/3 GB, microSD up to 512 GB (separate slot);
• Camera: main 13 MP + 2 MP, front 8 MP;
• Battery: 3300 mAh, Type-C;
• Features: NFC.

Sony traditionally produces original smartphones without regard to other market players. With this, she won a considerable army of loyal fans, but even more users are repelled by the brand's pricing policy. The appetite of the Japanese is also manifested in the new Xperia L3, which does not spoil the buyer with characteristics, but has a number of important features that are absent in the state employees of other manufacturers.

Conservatives will choose the Xperia L3 at least for its austere black body made of practical plastic, without kitsch overflows and cutouts in the screen. This device has NFC, a separate slot for two SIM cards and a memory card, Type-C port, he has a confident two-day autonomy and high-quality speakers - such moments are more difficult to flaunt than the numbers of characteristics, but they have an extremely positive effect on the experience of using the phone. I don't want to scold the L3 for a weak processor and HD screen resolution, but the already confirmed lack of updates to Android 9 for a smartphone with an official retail price tag of 15k is unforgivable even for Sony.

# 8 - Huawei P Smart (2019)

Price: from 10 289 rubles online, 12 790 at retail.

• Screen: 6.21 inches, IPS, FullHD +;
• Processor: Kirin 710;
• Memory: 32/3 GB + microSD up to 512 GB (hybrid slot);
• Camera: main 13 + 2 MP, front 13 MP;
• Battery: 3400 mAh, MicroUSB;
• Features: NFC.

The P Smart series from Huawei has enjoyed massive popularity since the very first generation, because for adequate money the company offers solid smartphones without serious compromises that can satisfy the needs of most ordinary users. The only thing that can be blamed on the new one, given its price, is the outdated Micro-USB connector and plastic case, which without a cover instantly becomes covered with scratches and scuffs, but in all other respects the device is objectively good.

It captivates with trendy design, high-quality high-resolution screen, good battery and a nimble processor. The Kirin 710 does not break records in synthetic tests, but in two years on the market, it has established itself as a fast and energy efficient chipset, the performance of which is sufficient for any, even the most difficult games. By the way, Huawei for some reason decided to put penny headphones in the kit for the smartphone, and not a case, without which you can hardly do. It is better to buy it separately immediately.

No. 7 - ZTE Blade V10

Price: from 12 450 rubles online, 14 990 at retail.

• Screen: 6.26 inches, IPS, FullHD +;
• Processor: MediaTek Helio P70;
• Camera: main 16 + 5 MP, front 32 MP;
• Battery: 3200 mAh, USB Type-C.
• Features: NFC.

ZTE is one of the most interesting options for amateur photographers in our top smartphones under 15,000 rubles. It does not have the sky-high resolution or wide-angle optics, as in some devices later, but the Blade V10 camera can shoot in RAW format, and in the right hands this is a much more significant advantage. It is also worth noting a 32 MP front-facing camera; it will definitely delight all lovers of social networks with clear and high-quality selfies.

The Blade V10 has a striking design, but this is a controversial advantage, since the case made of glossy plastic immediately loses its presentation without a cover. But the combination of NFC and Type-C connectors is still a rarity in the budget segment, and here ZTE is definitely a plus. Also, this device can be recommended to gamers, Helio P70 in resource-intensive games demonstrates itself just as well as mid-budget chipsets from Qualcomm.

No. 6 - Samsung Galaxy A30

Price: from 12,200 rubles online, 14,990 in retail.

• Screen: 6.4 inches, AMOLED, FullHD +;
• Processor: Exynos 7904;
• Memory: 32/3 GB + microSD up to 512 GB (separate slot);
• Camera: main 16 + 5 MP, front 16 MP;
• Features: NFC.

In 2019, Samsung pleasantly surprised its fans. If earlier the budget smartphones of the brand were frankly dull in all respects, now the Koreans have radically changed their approach to mass models and are gradually recapturing the lost positions from Xiaomi and Huawei. A vivid example of this is a very popular model, which, in terms of the totality of its characteristics, is one of the most balanced devices in the rating of smartphones under 15,000 rubles.

The A30 has perhaps the best AMOLED screen with really thin bezels among all the tens of AMOLEDs under consideration. It also stands out for the presence of an additional wide-angle camera, and not a useless depth sensor, which manufacturers put just to create a multi-camera effect. Add to this excellent autonomy due to a 4000 mAh battery and many pleasant little things - NFC, Type-C, triple card tray, fast charging. This is a really cool state employee, which can only be discouraged from buying by not the best performance. However, reviews about the slowness of the A30 are usually left by people who switched to it from more expensive smartphones.

# 5 - Honor 8X

Price: from 12,700 rubles online, 14,990 in retail.

• Screen: 6.5 inches, IPS, FullHD +;
• Processor: Kirin 710;
• Memory: 64/4 GB + microSD up to 400 GB (separate slot);
• Camera: main 20 + 2 MP, front 16 MP;
• Battery: 3750 mAh, MicroUSB.
• Features: NFC.

Honor 8X is one of the best-selling smartphones in Russia. The device was presented at the end of last year, and will soon replace it. And this means that now a variety of discounts and promotions will go to the bestseller, which will allow you to buy a good budget smartphone at a better price.

8X is a very large phone. Its huge 6.5-inch display is great for watching media content, but keep in mind that this is a solid shovel that is almost impossible to handle with one hand. The only drawback of 8X is the outdated MicroUSB port, otherwise it is very difficult to find fault with it. In addition to a decent camera and balanced characteristics, the 8X also buys the quality of materials, it is made in a body made of glass and metal, making the smartphone look really cool in real life. By the way, Huawei / Honor phones are considered one of the best on the market in terms of call quality, so the 8X does the best for its immediate tasks.

No. 4 - Huawei P smart Z

Price: from 13 800 rubles online, 16 990 at retail.

• Screen: 6.59 inches, IPS, FullHD +;
• Processor: Kirin 710;
• Camera: main 16 + 2 MP, front 16 MP;
• Battery: 4000 mAh, MicroUSB.
• Features: NFC.

Having said that Honor 8X has only one significant drawback, we were cheating a little, because in addition to objective drawbacks, there is also a subjective point. From buying it, many users are repelled by the monobrow cutout. But there is a great alternative called Huawei P smart Z, which is the cheapest fully bezel-less smartphone on the market, which is very similar in performance to the 8X.

During its development, the manufacturer did not save on anything important: there is a similar processor, comparable autonomy, cameras, there is NFC, and the screen has slightly added diagonally. To realize the complex mechanism of the retractable front camera, Huawei sacrificed premium materials for the case, the P Smart Z is made of plastic. But is it a minus? You will still hide the phone in the case, and the chance that the plastic case will survive the fall without consequences is even higher. It is better to buy Huawei P smart Z online, since in official retail its price is still above 15 thousand rubles.

# 3 - Lenovo Z6 Youth

Price: from 10 600 rubles (online only on Aliexpress).

• Processor: Snapdragon 710;
• Memory: 64/4 GB + microSD up to 256 GB (separate slot);
• Camera: main 16 + 8 + 5 MP, front 16 MP;
• Battery: 4050 mAh, Type-C.

Surprisingly, the coolest device in terms of characteristics in the list of good phones under 15 thousand rubles is at the same time the most accessible participant. Lenovo has become hostage to its own policies. After the acquisition of Motorola, the Chinese stopped producing phones under their own name and relied on the iconic brand, but the idea failed, and now, in order to regain its position in the market, Lenovo is forced to dump prices and sell smartphones at their cost. We, as end users, benefit from this.

Lenovo Z6 Youth is the most powerful smartphone in the collection, it runs on the sub-flagship Snapdragon 710, which can handle almost any toy at maximum graphics settings. The device is also distinguished by a triple camera with a telephoto module for 2x optical zoom. In addition to the lack of NFC, the main disadvantage of the device is its software, the phone has so far been released only in China, and the stability of work Chinese firmware many users have complaints. But the community of users instantly formed around the model has already released custom MIUI, Oxygen OS and pure Android, which can be installed on the Z6 Youth. So for experienced users who want to get top-end hardware for minimal money, this is a very interesting option.

# 2 - Samsung Galaxy A40

Price: from 13 760 rubles online, retail 17 990 rubles.

• Screen: 5.9 inches, AMOLED, FullHD +;
• Processor: Exynos 7904;
• Memory: 64/4 GB + microSD up to 512 GB (separate slot);
• Camera: main 16 + 5 MP, front 25 MP;
• Battery: 3100 mAh, USB Type-C.
• Features: NFC.

With the Galaxy A40, things are different - it is an absolutely hassle-free device that will not fool even the most inexperienced users. It is better to buy it online, in the network the price of the A40 has already managed to sink quite well in comparison with the official retail.

The device works under the control of the Samsung One UI shell, which we consider to be one of the best branded interfaces among Android smartphones in terms of design, functionality and optimization. In terms of characteristics, the A40 is not much different from the A30, but they have one fundamental difference. Is a representative of an endangered species of compact smartphones, which has practically no alternatives in the segment up to 20 thousand rubles. It exists, but even on the gray market it costs almost 5k more, and the retail price tag even reaches 25 thousand. Therefore, the A40 is doomed to the love of users who value convenience and practicality in a phone, rather than a horse screen diagonal.

No. 1 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

Price: from 11 390 rubles online, 15 990 at retail.

• Screen: 6.3 inches, IPS, FullHD +;
• Processor: Snapdragon 660;
• Memory: 64/4 GB + microSD up to 256 GB (hybrid slot);
• Camera: main 48 + 5 MP, front 13 MP;
• Battery: 4000 mAh, USB Type-C.

- unconditionally the best smartphone for its money, questioning the advisability of buying more expensive devices. It has exactly one drawback - the lack of NFC, but in terms of other parameters, the RN7 is a cut above all competitors. First of all, the device stands out for its camera: the 48 megapixel module is able to compete with the flagships of previous years in terms of photo quality, especially if you install the Google camera application on the RN7.

Unlike plastic phones, made of glass Note 7 looks and feels expensive - holding it in your hands you feel the thing. Autonomy, gaming performance, performance - Redmic is good everywhere. A large community of users guarantees a long life cycle of this model, the Note 7 does not remain without updates even after the end of official support from Xiaomi. In general, now the RN7 is the best option in terms of price and quality, and if you have a prejudice against Chinese smartphones, rest assured - it will break the mistaken stereotypes.

We hope that this collection has clarified the question of which phone is better to buy up to 15,000 rubles. Which of the presented models have you chosen? We are waiting for feedback from the owners and welcome discussion of smartphones in the comments.

• OS. As a rule, inexpensive devices run on Android. An important role is played by the presence of a proprietary shell and software optimization.
• Autonomy. One tendency can be noticed in this segment: manufacturers install powerful "stuffing", but save on battery capacity. It is recommended to purchase devices that are as balanced as possible.
