10 best smartphones under 4000 rubles
A couple of years ago, for 4000 rubles, you could only buy a dialer, but now the market offers an abundance of "smart" options. It is not difficult to make a mistake here - many manufacturers sacrifice quality for the sake of maximizing the cost of their products. But among the offers there are also decent models, when buying which you will not regret your excessive frugality. Here are the top best ultra budget smartphones that won't disappoint you.
Top 10 best smartphones under 4000 rubles
10 Alcatel 1C 5003D (2019)
A simple smartphone in the price range up to 4000 rubles. The most important functions in it are implemented well: it makes and receives calls, provided that the hands are not shaking, it will allow you to shoot the text in a readable form, it works without glitches. There are also many disadvantages. The most important is poor sound, both from the earpiece and from the external one. The microphone also cannot be called the best - on the other side of the wire, sometimes they complain about audibility.
But the screen is good - users repeat in one voice in their reviews. It has 4.95 inches diagonal, multitouch support and a resolution of 960x480. The battery has a capacity of 2 Ah and can be changed if necessary. The model was announced in 2019, and within a short period of its appearance on sale, it has already managed to gain popularity. This is one of the best smartphone options from our top for those looking for something inexpensive and stable.
9 DOOGEE X11
One of the best Chinese budget smartphones with a 5-inch display. "Iron" inside cannot boast of high performance indicators, but it is matched harmoniously. So, four cores of the MediaTek MT6580M processor with a clock frequency of 1.3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM are responsible for the speed of work. The graphics component is controlled by the Mali-400 MP1.
The battery received a capacity of 2250 mAh, and this, judging by the reviews, is enough for a day or two. When you turn on your smartphone for the first time, you will see the familiar Android 8.1 interface, so even if the manufacturer does not send you an update, the software will remain relevant for a couple of years. The 5 megapixel camera is endowed with a flash, but the autofocus is not. The protective film on the screen, which was carefully glued at the factory, does not have an oleophobic coating. This increases friction between the finger and the screen, making it difficult to swipe.
8 Fly Power Plus 3
In reviews to this smartphone, users write two reasons for buying: an inexpensive price and a powerful 4000 mAh battery. In conjunction with a 5.45-inch screen diagonal and a modest processor, the gadget pleases with the battery life. If you use this "Fly" as a dialer, calculator and rarely as a navigator in offline mode, then you will need to charge it only once a week. At the same time, the smartphone looks decent - the size is sane, the design is neat.
This is the best solution for those who need an additional smartphone, as well as for grandparents who sometimes forget to charge the device. Out of 8 GB of internal memory, only 3 are available to the user. There is barely enough RAM to fully use all messengers, surf the Internet and indulge in casual toys. The speaker is loud and clear. The flashlight is bright, powerful vibro. The main drawback is not the most responsive sensor, which does not obey wet hands.
7 Nobby S300
Elongated five-inch device. This makes it fit perfectly in the hand and feels compact. The case is plastic, it looks unassuming. The screen has a resolution of 960x480 - you can't watch movies comfortably. There is an 8 megapixel camera with laser autofocus and even a macro mode. The front camera is also present, it has 5 megapixels.
There is Bluetooth, but it's old - version 2.1. There is 3G, 8 GB of built-in and 1 - RAM. The MediaTek MT6580M processor is characterized by four cores. The battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh barely withstands a day and a half when the smartphone is rarely used. This model is one of the newest in our top, and so far all the reviews on it are custom-made.They emphasize that the smartphone runs on Android Go, a modification of the operating system designed specifically for such low-power smartphones. If a Chinese manufacturer has taken care of the quality of the software, the device has every chance of becoming the best among low-cost competitors.
6 VERTEX Impress Click NFC
This is the cheapest smartphone with an NFC chip on board. For 4000 rubles, you will get a five-inch phone running on Android 8.1, a dual camera (5 + 0.3 megapixel), 8 GB of internal memory and 1 GB of RAM. The battery will not please with the capacity figures - it has only 2000 mAh.
Users have a lot of complaints about it. The manufacturer forked out for a contactless payment module, but saved a lot on the screen, battery, build quality and camera. The second camera module is dummy - it does not improve the photo in any way, and they do not please with the quality even in good daylight conditions. The display is characterized by small viewing angles and an unsuccessful sensor - it takes some time to draw a pattern. But point touches are worked out normally, so users who unsubscribed in reviews use a pin code instead of a graphic key. If you really need NFC and nothing else - take VERTEX Impress Click NFC. If you have other requirements for the device, you will have to collect money for a smartphone of a more expensive price segment.
5 Micromax Q357
A five-inch gadget with modest, balanced characteristics. Under the body live 8 GB of permanent memory, 1 - operational, Android 7, a 2400 mAh battery and a 5 megapixel camera. In the reviews they write that the percentages of the charge are spent quickly - it will not be possible to stretch them for two days. Otherwise, this is one of the most reliable budget smartphones with a price below 4000 rubles.
There is 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The connection is stable, supports the operation of two SIM-cards or one SIM and one memory card with a resource of up to 32 GB. It boasts a front camera. Its 2 megapixel resolution is enough for video calls of acceptable quality. The screen matches the price of a smartphone, but it is of high quality. The manufacturer saved on resolution, but installed an IPS matrix and a multi-touch sensor with support for multiple clicks. This is one of the most reliable devices in terms of performance in the low-cost sector.
4 DOOGEE X90
Chinese inexpensive smartphone with a price of up to 4000 rubles, which boasts a huge 6.1-inch screen. On board runs Android 8.1. The amount of RAM hints that the smartphone is not a game at all - 1 GB. But there is a dual camera with a resolution of 8 + 5 megapixels and autofocus. The battery is powerful enough - its capacity is 3400 mAh. Built-in memory 16 GB.
This model has recently appeared on the Russian market, so there are no detailed reviews yet. 4G is not here, the body is made of plastic, but it looks attractive. The processor is MediaTek MT6580 - a 4-core chipset with a clock frequency of 1300 MHz. The screen resolution is modest for such a diagonal - 1280x600, so you won't be able to watch movies with great comfort. However, this is one of the best low-cost smartphones out there.
3 VERTEX Impress Funk
A miniature tube with a screen diagonal that is a little short of 4 inches. Inside there is a 5-megapixel camera, 8 GB of permanent memory and half a gigabyte of RAM. The battery received 1600 mAh, and its resource is enough for a day of work. The preinstalled Android Go is perfectly optimized for such low-powered devices, so from the box you will enjoy the smooth operation of the interface.
After installing a couple of applications, the situation becomes not so rosy - the smartphone slowly minimizes programs, slowly displays a window with a call. The reviews say that this is the most inexpensive and compact option for children as a dialer. Many more use this device as a smart home control panel. The smartphone keeps a stable connection with Wi-Fi, so this is the best budget solution (with a price of less than 4000 rubles) for such purposes.
2 DOOGEE X55
One of the best Chinese smartphones in the budget segment. You will be greeted out of the box by Android 7, and there are problems with updates over the air.But there is a large 5.5-inch screen, a dual camera with 8 megapixel modules, 16 GB of internal memory and a stylish design. The SIM and memory card slot is hybrid, which means that you have to choose - either two SIMs, or one SIM and a flash drive.
4G is not here, but 3G catches stably. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, so do not count on the high gaming capabilities of the phone. The reviews are mostly positive. They praise the 2800 mAh battery - it lasts for a day and a half, the presence of a fingerprint scanner, a metal case and an IPS matrix with large viewing angles. The device has slight lags, but despite this, it deservedly got its place in the top of the best phones for 4000 rubles.
1 Digma HIT Q401 3G
Compact four-inch, from the box running on the seventh Android. It accepts two SIM cards and has a nice design with some premium feel. The screen is capacitive and recognizes multiple simultaneous touches. Where is the catch? The manufacturer has reduced the cost due to the screen resolution - here 800x480, but there is no discomfort with a 4-inch diagonal. Savings have touched the bundle - be prepared for the fact that you will find only a smartphone in the box and nothing else. No charger, no case, no headphones. The model is charged using the popular micro USB - everyone has a pair of orphan chargers at home.
The smartphone runs on a processor with four cores, has 8 GB of internal memory (of which about 6 are occupied by system files) and 1 GB of RAM. Will pull casual games, surfing the net, correspondence in instant messengers - relevant for the daily routine.
