Smartphones up to 6000 rubles: rating of 2016
5. Philips S309
Price: from 4 200 rubles.
Pros: nice appearance, good build quality, price.
Minuses: first of all, this is the firmware (it is especially unpleasant that some settings can fly off after turning the phone on and off). Secondly, the weak battery capacity (1600 mAh).
Attention: the model has two options - with 4 and 8 GB. The 4GB model ships with Android 4.4 and cannot be upgraded to a newer version.
4. Philips S337
Price: from 5 500 rubles.
Pros: the build quality and reaction speed of the phone are not bad for its price category - it does not hang, does not glitch, good connectivity and battery capacity (2000 mAh).
Minuses: outdated screen (poor viewing angles, very moderate anti-aliasing, color rendering like on displays a decade ago). The touch controls do not respond well enough in the lower right corner.
3. Microsoft Lumia 430 Dual SIM
Price: from 4 200 rubles.
Pros: the system of "live tiles" may at first scare the unprepared user, but in work it is much more convenient than it seems. The operating system is exactly the same as on the flagship Lumia 950, so everything opens immediately, without slowdowns or sags. The call quality is excellent. The phone comes with almost no programs, you have to download them from the store, but there are many of them and the vast majority are free. The low cost of the smartphone allowed him to become a member smartphone rating in 2016 up to 5000 rubles.
Minuses: the equipment does not shine with wealth: there is a charge - and okay. Camera without autofocus and only 2 megapixels. Battery capacity 1500 mAh.
2. LG Leon H324
Price: from 5 500 rubles.
Pros: despite a very moderate amount of RAM (only 768 MB), it works quickly, without freezes, apparently thanks to the perfectly optimized software and a 4-core processor. The camera is 5-megapixel with autofocus, so you won't be ashamed to upload photos from it to the Internet. Smooth non-marking screen with a clear picture, 1900 mAh battery.
Minuses: no light sensor. Yes, and I want more memory.
1. Microsoft Lumia 435 Dual Sim
Price: from 4 500 rubles.
The best smartphone under 6,000 rubles in 2016.
Pros: screen with excellent color rendering, non-marking. The operating system is fast. The call quality is excellent. The battery capacity (1560 mAh) is enough for a day of intensive use (surfing the Internet, chats, a lot of calls, music, games, videos). Very fast GPS.
Minuses: the manufacturer saved on the camera. It is 2 megapixel, no flash.
Smartphones up to 7000 rubles: rating of 2016
5. ASUS ZenFone C ZC451CG
Price: from 6 900 rubles.
High-quality assembly, solid appearance, bright screen, convenient services, 2100 mAh battery.
Minuses: May get hot when handling "heavy" applications. Quiet speaker. The need to constantly clear the RAM in order to speed up the operation of the device.
4. LG Spirit H422
Price: from 7,000 rubles.
Pros: stylish design, good sound, large battery (2100 mAh). The work, although it does not strike the imagination with speed, is quite fast.
Minuses: applications can only be installed in the device memory (some of them cannot be transferred to the SD card). The need to constantly calculate and figure out whether there is enough memory can tire many.
3. Microsoft Lumia 430 Dual SIM
Price: from 4 200 rubles.
Excellent value for money from Microsoft.
2. LG Leon H324
Price: from 5 500 rubles.
A good working smartphone with a strict and stylish design.
1. Microsoft Lumia 532 Dual Sim
Price: from 7,000 rubles.
The best smartphone under 7,000 rubles in 2016 according to user reviews.
Pros: the amount of memory, great sound, solid assembly without backlash. Built-in Office and OneDrive. Accurate GPS. Small body that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Minuses: the screen is weak, but the picture quality is quite on par. There are few settings, for experienced users there is not enough functionality. 1560 mAh battery.
