If the first item cannot be controlled by an ordinary user, then choosing a model with a more capacious battery will be easy. Below are the top 3 phones with large battery capacity, selected based on the analysis of various characteristics.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is a unique smartphone with many strengths. It is based on a high-quality S-IPS-matrix, which provides high brightness and image detail. The most attention is paid to the 48 MP main camera with artificial intelligence, which takes good pictures even at night. Case quality and performance are top notch as well. For those who like bright phones, you can choose a version with a gradient on the back cover. The 4000 mAh battery allows the smartphone to work for 2 days without recharging with an average operating mode.
No wonder Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 is the most popular budget series smartphone. At a price of 12,000 rubles, it pulls modern games, takes good pictures at any time of the day and does not require daily recharging. If you close your eyes to the “jambs” with auto-brightness, then there is no better phone for its price on the market right now.
Advantages:
- IR port;
- Excellent performance;
- Good photos even at night;
- 2 days of battery life;
- Restrained, but expensive appearance.
Disadvantages:
- No NFC chip;
- Auto brightness often does not work correctly.
This is the best smartphone in terms of price and quality up to 15,000 rubles without pronounced flaws. Only the absence of an NFC module can not suit.
The Vivo Y17 phone has a lot of attractions, in particular - three modules of the main camera 13 MP, 8 MP and 2 MP. The smartphone can take good photos and record high-quality videos even in poor lighting conditions. Another positive feature of it is the presence of an NFC module. The reason for getting the gadget into the rating is a 5000 mAh battery, with moderate use it lasts for 2 days. In terms of performance, the phone is also all right: it uses an 8-core MT6765 processor and 4 GB of RAM. The listed characteristics are enough for the smartphone to work smartly and smoothly.
Advantages:
- Frameless screen;
- Huge battery capacity - 5000 mAh;
- NFC module;
- Good quality of shooting on the front and main cameras;
- Nice understated design.
Disadvantages:
- Outdated display matrix;
- Not the most up-to-date processor, which will soon stop pulling modern games.
If you need a normal phone for simple daily tasks with excellent autonomy, it is reasonable to choose the Vivo Y17 64GB for 14,000 rubles. In terms of power, it is inferior to Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, but it has an NFC chip.
This is a good smartphone that still remains relevant thanks to a 5000 mAh battery. In terms of performance, it can be given a 4-ku, but it is cheap - it costs 9 thousand rubles. The gadget in version 3/32 GB is able to work with minimal delays in regular applications, but it does not pull new games. The shooting quality is average, there is no NFC and a frame around the screen. All of the above disadvantages are covered by an affordable price and autonomy, which in normal mode reaches 3 days.
Advantages:
- Can install 2 SIM and memory card together;
- Fast and stylish fingerprint scanner;
- 3 days of battery life;
- Rich equipment: headphones, case, film on the screen;
- Deep, rich body colors.
Disadvantages:
- outdated components;
- No NFC chip.
The main feature of this smartphone is a 5000 mAh battery, which, combined with low power consumption, lasts up to 3 days, and the charge is practically not consumed in standby mode.
Which smartphone under 15,000 rubles is better to buy
It is recommended to buy smartphones with a good camera for those who constantly take pictures, actively blogs, pages on social networks, etc. Powerful phones are better for people who value their time and do not tolerate freezes or like to play. The NFC module is useful for those who are tired of getting bank cards out of their wallets or want to stop wearing them. Standalone devices are worth buying for travelers and busy people who cannot always charge the battery every day.
Here are some tips for buying smartphones:
- Beginner bloggers and active social media users on a very limited budget are recommended to buy the Nokia 5.1 Plus Android One.
- People looking for a well-balanced camera phone for taking beautiful selfies should pay attention to the Honor 10 Lite 3/32GB.
- If you need the most affordable camera phone with a decent quality built-in main camera, it is better to opt for Tecno Camon 11S.
- If you want to buy a simple gaming smartphone with a decent camera and screen, you need to look towards the Meizu M8.
- For those who are looking for the cheapest and powerful enough to comfortably use a phone with an NFC chip, it would be appropriate to opt for the BQ 6040L Magic.
- Those who want to try something new for little money and with an NFC module are advised to purchase Huawei P Smart Z 4/64GB with a pop-up selfie camera.
- As the most budget smartphone that can fully satisfy the needs of a modern person, it is worth taking the ZTE Blade V10.
- A phone that can take great pictures in any light and lasts 2 days of battery life is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 4/64GB.
- For those who do not have gaming ambitions, but need a smart phone with a large battery for calls and web surfing, it is recommended to focus on Vivo Y17 64GB.
- For people who need a "dialer" with autonomy up to 3 days without demanding high performance, Motorola Moto E5 Plus 32GB is a good option.
A modern phone requires the absence of lags, high autonomy, the availability of modern communication standards and the ability to create beautiful photos and videos. The rating includes top devices in each niche, both smartphones with the best camera in 2019 up to 15,000 rubles, and with the highest possible autonomy. It remains only to prioritize and choose the most suitable model.
In this review, I want to consider with you the best smartphones under 15,000 rubles. Let's get acquainted with their characteristics, find out how much they cost, consider their positive and negative sides. We will select the best models in terms of price / quality ratio.
Consider the following options:
