Classic – Bravis Light

All Bravis products are characterized by a strict style, but maximum simplicity in execution. The same applies to the Light model. It has all the most basic and necessary, pre-installed Android 4.4 and, interestingly, the Spreadtrum SC7731G processor, which has not yet won such fame on the market as MediaTek representatives.

Actually, this is its main feature. Once upon a time, a huge number of myths and legends went around Spreadtrum. Some wrote that it was the brainchild of Samsung, others that the company was created by former Qualcomm employees. One way or another, we are dealing with a simple, extremely inexpensive smartphone with good build quality.

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM 0.5 GB;
1400 mAh battery;

A simple solution - Prestigio MultiPhone Wize L3 3403 Duo

Prestigio always comes out with something light, easy to use and designed for those who don't need much, but always with a twist. Here is the MultiPhone Wize L3 3403 Duo - a bright representative of this company.

It contains almost the same data as in the above-described smartphones, but the main camera is 5 megapixels and the same processor from Spreadtrum (model SC7731).

Peculiarities:

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM 0.5 GB;
battery - 1450 mAh;
in the processor 4 cores at 1.2 GHz;
pre-installed Android 5.1;
price - 46 dollars.

Strict Nomi i400 Beat

Actually, but of all the above-mentioned phones, this model is distinguished by its unusual body - a monolithic rectangle, similar to iron or some other metal with slightly rounded edges, attracts many technology lovers.

However, for performing all ordinary tasks, except for high-quality photos, it is perfect.

Characteristics:

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM 0.5 GB;
1500 mAh battery;
processor MediaTek MT6572 (the very first) for 2 cores and 1.2 GHz;
2 MP camera;
price - 53 dollars.

Budget with a good camera - Lenovo A2860

The smartphone of 2016 release has a diagonal of 4.5 inches and a 5 megapixel camera, which is a rarity for mid-range phones. Yes, the aforementioned Prestigio also has a 5 megapixel camera, but Lenovo still has much better cameras, and the resolution is higher. However, mm both are still very far from Samsung cameras.

Among the features worth noting is a 2000 mAh battery. Otherwise, the characteristics are standard for models in this price category:

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM - 0.5 GB;
Mediatek MT6735M processor for 4 cores and 1 GHz;
front camera - 0.3 MP;
price - 53 dollars.

Phone that is not afraid of anything - UPhone Hummer S922

This phone weighs a whopping 169g, which is 30g more than any other phone in this review. And all thanks to additional protective devices. This weight is mainly due to the heavy case, which protects the smartphone from drops, moisture, dust and everything else that can only harm it.

This model is perfect for builders, extreme lovers and travelers.

Characteristics:

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM - 0.5 GB;
2200 mAh battery (!);
processor MediaTek MT6572A for 2 cores and 1.2 GHz;
5 megapixel camera (removes a little worse than the aforementioned Lenovo);
price - 57 dollars.

Selfie Budget ZTE Blade AF3

The peculiarity of this phone is that it has a 2 megapixel front camera, which is good for selfies. True, it should be borne in mind that the phone is still very, very budgetary, so you should not expect too high quality from photos. But you can't call bad pictures either.

Otherwise, everything is standard, except for the chic (as for the cost of the device) Spreadtrum SC7731G processor.

Peculiarities:

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM - 0.5 GB;
1400 mAh battery;
4 cores at 1.2 GHz;

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM - 0.5 GB;
battery - 1730 mAh;

An ordinary representative of the global technology giant - Samsung G350E Galaxy Star Advance

Samsung can rightly be called a global technology giant. Smartphones of this brand have always been distinguished by reliability and practicality. The same can be said about the G350E Galaxy Star Advance. It has a TFT display (not AMOLED and certainly not SuperAMOLED, which is typical of Samsung).

The processor here is Renesas for 1 core (1.2 GHz), but the battery is as much as 1800 mAh. Otherwise, everything is branded - the shell of the TouchWiz operating system, an excellent camera, albeit a 3 megapixel one (a 1 megapixel Samsung camera will be much better than a 5 megapixel camera of any other brand), a plastic case.

Other features:

built-in memory - 4 GB;
RAM - 0.5 GB;
no front camera;
weight - 133 grams (standard for such phones);
price - 65 dollars.

Killer of state employees - Archos 45 b neon

This phone can rightly be called a killer in the $60-70 price range. An 8 MP camera with the ability to shoot video at a resolution of 1920x1080 and an internal memory of 8 GB - all this looks just fine compared to the characteristics of other smartphones at this price. Everything else is pretty standard.

The use of the Spreadtrum SC7731 processor in this smartphone also looks a bit unusual, but nowhere near as amazing as the 8 MP camera.

Other Features:

RAM - 1 GB;
1450 mAh battery;
4 cores at 1.3 GHz;
screen diagonal - 4.5 inches;
price - 70 dollars.

RAM - 0.5 GB;
battery - 1300 mAh;
MediaTek MT6572M processor for 2 cores at 1 GHz;
price - 76 dollars.

built-in memory - 8 GB;
RAM - 1 GB;
1600 mAh battery;

price - 95 dollars.

built-in memory - 8 GB;
RAM - 1 GB;

The best camera in its class - HTC Desire 326G

Developers HTC Desire 326G position their creation as a smartphone with the best camera in its class. And indeed, it is.
