South Korean LG smartphones are harder to find on sale than Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei and other popular manufacturers. Here is the V50 ThinQ model - a rare guest in Russia. If you really like it, you will have to order from eBay or another well-known online trading platform.
Why is it worth paying attention to this particular model? It has IP68 water resistance, fast and wireless charging technology, a sturdy metal case and a Snapdragon 855 processor so you don't have to worry about the speed of your favorite games.
A distinctive feature of the LG V50 ThinQ is the ability to connect an additional 6.2-inch screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. Of course, you will have to buy it separately. This accessory is called Dual Screen. As planned by the manufacturer, it will make it easier for users to work with multiple applications at the same time.
The front camera consists of 2 sensors with a resolution of 5 and 8 MP. The main camera has a 12 MP sensor with an aperture of f / 1.5, a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens with an aperture of f / 1.9. There are several shooting modes, including auto, smart, portrait, and manual.
There are no problems with color reproduction or white balance during daytime shooting, however, digital “noise” is sometimes observed in dark areas of photos.
But LG skimped on the night mode, and offered users to choose the right exposure instead. Not the best solution, which can lead to the appearance of grain in the photo.
pros: clear and loud sound, there is a headphone jack, there is a vapor chamber, which improves cooling of the "insides" of the smartphone during active use.
Minuses: not available in Russia.

And on the back cover there are three cameras at once: 48 MP with F 1/8 aperture and intelligent night mode, 2 MP lens for measuring depth of field and a wide-angle 8 MP lens. Thanks to the well-coordinated work of this trio, as well as the presence of AI-based image stabilization, you will get great pictures from any angle.
pros: beautiful design, powerful Kirin 710F processor can handle any games and several running programs, headphones are included.

8. Huawei P30
The average price is 39,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards

The P30 comes with a triple rear camera, the main module of which is equipped with a RYYB color filter rather than the RGB filter commonly found on modern mobile phone cameras.
This move of the manufacturer allows Huawei P30 to take high-quality pictures even in low light conditions. The advantages of the camera also include the presence of optical stabilization, macro mode and Zoom 3x.
pros: bright and contrast OLED screen, a beautiful and powerful smartphone, which will run any heavy game at maximum settings, there is fast charging, a fingerprint scanner right in the screen.

7. Motorola Moto G8 Plus
The average price is 14,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0

- three cameras 48 MP / 5 MP / 16 MP, autofocus
- memory 64 GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- RAM 4 GB
- battery 4000 mAh
- weight 188 g, WxHxT 75.83 × 158.35 × 9.09 mm
An inexpensive and high-quality smartphone from a well-known manufacturer surprises with both the presence of NFC and a capacious battery, very loud and clear sound, waterproof body from splashing water, and most importantly - an excellent triple camera.
The only thing missing is optical stabilization. But even taking this shortcoming into account, the photos taken by the Moto G8 Plus will pleasantly amaze you with the detail and color reproduction. Night mode allows you to take high-quality pictures even in the dark.
Keep in mind that by default the main 48MP module shoots at 12MP. To activate "maximum power" you need to go into the camera settings. The 5 MP TOF module is responsible for blurring the background in portrait mode, and the 16 MP module is for video shooting. An interesting decision from Motorola. Moreover, thanks to wide-angle optics, horizontal videos can be shot even if you hold your smartphone vertically.
pros: 25MP selfie camera, pure Android, 18W fast charging, fingerprint scanner and face unlock, 3.5mm headphone jack.

In the drop-shaped notch of the display there is a 20 MP front camera with an aperture of F / 2.0, allowing you to take very high-quality selfies.
And the rear camera takes photos with high detail, flawless white balance, natural color reproduction, will delight you with excellent portrait and panoramic shots, and also has an interesting mode called "Color Swap".

The best Samsung phone for price and quality tops our ranking of smartphones with triple rear cameras. It has a seductive design and a small notch in the display that hides the dual front camera.
On the back of the device is a triple camera module that offers users wide-angle, standard, and 2x telephoto lenses. The colors in the shots taken by the Galaxy S10 + camera are more subdued than in previous Galaxy devices, which tended to be too bright. And the wide-angle lens of this model is probably the funniest and most versatile of them all. It captures such a wide area that you might accidentally catch your index finger in the frame.
The Dynamic OLED screen has rich and vivid colors, and is very comfortable on the eyes, even after extended use. At the bottom of the screen is an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which has become popular with mid-range and flagship models.
"Under the hood" of the device is one of the best Qualcomm chipsets - the Snapdragon 855, combined with a large amount of RAM - from 8 to 12 GB and from 128 GB to a terabyte of internal storage.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy S10 + is perhaps the best smartphone for under 50,000 rubles. Or you can wait a bit until the new flagship from the Samsung Galaxy S20 line is released - one of most anticipated smartphones of 2020.
pros: flagship performance, fast and reverse wireless charging, loud speaker sound without distortion and wheezing, IP68 waterproof.
Minuses: there is no LED indicator of events, NFC does not always work the first time.
