Characteristics:
- Android smartphone
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6 ″, resolution 1440 × 720

A sturdy metal body, an NFC module, a large screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 - what else is needed to make using a smartphone enjoyable?
Add to this a good battery that allows you not to charge the phone for a day and a half, a good main camera with fast focusing and detailed, bright pictures, and we get Nokia 3.1 Plus.
The Mediatek Helio P22 chipset chosen for the smartphone is a popular and quite productive solution. It allows you to quickly and smoothly switch between multiple running applications. However, “heavy” games can only be played at low settings.
pros: there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, there is a fingerprint scanner.
Minuses: not very loud sound, the proximity sensor does not always work correctly, which is why the screen turns on during a conversation and you can accidentally press something on it.
9. Highscreen Power Five Max 2
The average price is 9,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 8.1
- support for two SIM-cards

Usually, the search for a smartphone with a large battery and a good camera is conducted in the price range of 20 thousand rubles and above. It's good that the Power Five Max 2 is an exception.
This stylish device has a powerful 5000 mAh battery, which will last for 8 hours of continuous video viewing. And a rear dual camera with multiple shooting modes, including panoramic, standard, and bokeh. Electronic stabilization can be activated when recording video. At night, digital noise appears in the image, but this is inevitable for inexpensive smartphones.
The Helio P23 processor installed in this model is efficient enough to easily handle resource-intensive applications. However, it is unlikely that new games can be played at maximum settings.
Another nice thing: the back cover is rough to the touch, and the device will not pop out of your hands like soapy. A trifle, but nice.
pros: Comes with a protective glass and a silicone case, there is a fast charge, a 3.5 mm audio jack, a fingerprint scanner, you can make contactless payments, and wireless charging is supported.

It features a 6.09 ”HD + teardrop design (with a dewdrop notch that houses the front camera). 87% screen-to-body ratio
In terms of cameras, there is a 13MP camera with an f / 1.8 aperture on the back of the device, and an 8MP camera on the front, equipped with an advanced portrait algorithm and AI that improve the quality of selfies.
Inside the Honor 8A is a MediaTek Helio P35 processor with a high clock speed of 2.3 GHz. It is more productive than its closest competitors - Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 and 625, but not so much that you can play games demanding on hardware without slowing down your smartphone.
pros: you can make contactless payments, there is a fingerprint scanner, there is a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Minuses: micro-USB.
7. ASUS Zenfone Max (M2) ZB633KL

And, of course, he added in price, because improvements have to be paid.
The changes also affected the main camera, which, although it remained double, but its resolution has changed. While the Max (M1) had a 13MP / 8MP camera, the second model had a 13MP / 2MP camera. However, do not worry, the pictures are of high quality, both indoors and outdoors. Moreover, a portrait mode with bokeh effect is available.
Note that Zenfone Max (M2) ZB633KL is one of the few budget smartphones with fast charging function.
pros: capacious battery, there is a fingerprint scanner.

In the rating of smartphones under 10,000 rubles in 2019, there are models with a dual camera. There are devices with 3 GB of RAM and a slot for a memory card. However, there are only four models of the NFC module, one of which is the Blade V9 Vita.
The screen of this smartphone with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 has narrow bezels and is devoid of "bangs" that only annoy many users. The amount of RAM and the Snapdragon 435 processor is enough to keep the Blade V9 Vita from slowing down with several open applications. However, do not expect him to be able to play modern games at medium or even higher settings.
The main dual camera has fast autofocus and takes detailed pictures with good color reproduction, if lighting permits.
The battery at medium loads will last a day without recharging. And this is normal for a phone in this price range.
pros: there is a fingerprint scanner, 3.5 mm audio jack, face recognition.
Minuses: micro-USB, auto dimming sometimes works too harshly and produces a flickering effect.

If you don't know which smartphone is better to take under 10,000 rubles for comfortable work with applications and good pictures - take Redmi 6, you can't go wrong.
This device has everything that is required from a "mobile horse". And a bright, contrasting screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, and a fast fingerprint scanner, and a rather nimble Mediatek Helio P22 processor, and a good amount of RAM for a budget employee.
And do not forget about the dual main camera, which shoots video in good quality even in the dark. However, the photographs still lack detail and are too contrasty by default. But this can be forgiven, given that Redmi 6 was not conceived as a camera phone.
Pros: there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, there is an LED indicator of events.
Cons: easily soiled case, outdated micro-USB.
4. Samsung Galaxy A10
The average price is 8,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- Android smartphone

- RAM 2 GB
- battery 3400 mAh
- weight 168 g, WxHxT 75.60 × 155.60 × 7.90 mm
Samsung is constantly flooding the market with Galaxy A Series devices that range from cheap phones to mid-range devices. And Galaxy A10 is the "golden mean"
Its 6.2-inch TFT IPS display has a modern 19: 9 aspect ratio, which makes the phone look taller. At the same time, the screen-to-body ratio is 81.6%, which is not much less than that of best frameless smartphones of 2019.
The device is equipped with the Exynos 7884 chipset - a good budget option. Add 2GB of RAM to that and you've got the perfect recipe for an entry-level smartphone.
The Galaxy A10 has a single 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera. Since there is no auxiliary lens on the back for measuring depth, you will not be able to shoot portraits with blurred backgrounds on this smartphone. However, you will be able to take high-quality pictures in good lighting. In night shots, you can notice the increased contrast of images in automatic mode.
pros: face unlock, 3.5mm headphone jack, fits perfectly in the hand thanks to its well-designed design.
Minuses: Quiet speaker, no fingerprint reader, the case gets dirty very quickly due to its glossy surface, so don't use the phone without a protective case.
3. Xiaomi Redmi 6A
The average price is 5 692 rubles.
Characteristics:
- Android smartphone
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 5.45 ″, resolution 1440 × 720

If we take the value for money, then Xiaomi is the undisputed leader of the top budget smartphones in 2019 up to 10,000 rubles. And one of the best Xiaomi creations is the Redmi 6A. It's a cute looking small smartphone with a bright screen, reading mode and color settings. There is also an oleophobic coating.
The "stuffing" of the Redmi 6A is not very impressive, given the budget MediaTek Helio A22 chipset and the small amount of RAM. However, games of past years will run at medium settings, and modern ones - at minimum settings.
Photo and video footage shot with the main or front camera (with beauty mode) in the daytime look good. But in artificial or poor lighting, the quality, at best, will be three points out of five.
The battery easily lasts for a whole day of use, even if you watch videos for 4-5 hours in a row or play simple games.
pros: there is a 3.5 mm audio jack,
Minuses: micro-USB, no fingerprint scanner, quiet sound.
2. HUAWEI Y6 (2019)

Many of the best smartphones under $ 10 are attractive and nothing more. But to equip the model with a "back" stylized as leather is something new. This is the amber brown version of the 2019 HUAWEI Y6.
The back cover is actually plastic, but textured, and visually completely resembles leather. Models in other colors have a plastic back that looks like glass.
The screen is bright, although not very sharp. It is comfortable to read on a sunny day, and due to the growing popularity of the 19.5: 9 aspect ratio, the smartphone looks longer than it actually is.
As for the "filling", the Y6 is equipped with a MediaTek Helio A22 processor and a PowerVR GE8300 graphics processor.
The back of the phone is pretty straightforward, with a 13MP camera tucked away at the top left. It has an f / 1.8 aperture and very simple, intuitive shooting modes.
On the front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie camera with f / 2.0 aperture. She will surely appeal to those who like to upload photos to social networks, as she takes good pictures even in artificial lighting.
pros: there is a fingerprint scanner, a protective film is included, there is a 3.5 mm jack.
Minuses: Micro-USB connector, jams in demanding applications.

The Redmi series has been a trendsetter in many ways and has changed public opinion not only about Xiaomi, but about Chinese smartphones in general. And the best smartphone under 10,000 rubles in 2019 - Redmi 7 - continues in the same vein, but overcomes some of the limitations of the series, such as design and camera.
Redmi 7 belongs to a new generation of phones with a large screen, which is brighter and more contrasting than that of Redmi 6. Thus, the maximum brightness of the "seven" is 429 cd / m2, and the "six" - 378 cd / m2.
Inside is a Snapdragon 632 chipset with an Adreno 506 GPU. In terms of performance, the Redmi 7 outperforms its predecessor and many competitors such as the Honor 8C and Nokia 6.1.
Improvements in terms of sharpness, detail and aperture are seen in the 8MP selfie camera. As for the main camera, it does not shoot very clearly, but with good color rendering. And thanks to the HDR effect, you have the chance to turn a “bad” photo into a “good” one.
pros: there is a fingerprint scanner, a capacious battery, 3.5 mm audio jack.
