Even if the smartphone is a real miracle of technology, the carriage instantly turns into a pumpkin if the battery is low. No calls, no SMS, no internet, and even no games to play - all that remains is to sadly look at my reflection in the dark glass and ask: "Why did it not occur to me to buy a smartphone with the most powerful battery?" For those who are looking for a device that can work for 2-3 days without recharging, we have compiled a list of budget smartphones with a good battery according to the latest data from 2017.

Its advantages: bright design, display with HD-resolution, large memory capacity (1-2 GB of RAM), MediaTek processor with a frequency of 1.1 GHz, support for LTE and, of course, a 4000 mAh battery.

But the manufacturer was greedy with RAM, and there is only 1 GB of it in the device. This is very little for a modern device.
5. Meizu M3 Note 32Gb

If the MX and Pro lines from Meizu are top-end, then the M Note line promises to the ordinary buyer the best price / quality ratio. The M3 Note 32Gb smartphone is no exception - a good screen, metal body and a fingerprint scanner.

What the smartphone lacks is the fast charging function. It charges slowly, about 3 hours.

It's a pity that with such a battery, Xiaomi decided not to install support for fast charging. Such a volume will be charged for at least two hours, or even more.

Average price - 7 985 rubles.
Another long-lived budget employee from Xiaomi. Although the filling is slightly weaker than that of the third place in the rating (eight-core Snapdragon 435 processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz), however, paradoxically, in terms of the length of battery life, this (plus a screen resolution of only 720p) benefited the smartphone. During normal use (conversations, SMS, photos, sometimes games), the smartphone can last a couple of days without recharging. In the PCMark video test, the smartphone lasted 12 hours and 30 minutes at 39% screen brightness.
You can read on it for 20 hours in a row, watch videos for almost 16 hours, and play for 9 hours.

And all of the models in our top 10 have an excellent performance-to-value ratio. And which one to choose according to financial capabilities - decide for yourself.
For me, the first criterion is the price. I can't spend more than 8-10 tons on a phone. I found the option by accidentally flipping through the Internet. This is fly. Not expensive, the quality is normal, time-tested already, I have had a phone for more than 3 years, but everything works fine. The set of functions is necessary. So I advise.
