FX.co ★ Top 6 best smartphones at an affordable price

1-2. Xiaomi Redmi 5 и Redmi 5 Plus

New smartphones Xiaomi Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus are now the most affordable frameless smartphones in a metal case with an aspect ratio of 18:9. Xiaomi Redmi 5 has the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor, and Redmi 5 Plus - a powerful 4000 mAh battery supporting fast charging.

As for the characteristics of the camera, they leave much to be desired, as well as not very high screen resolution, 1440x720. There is no NFC in both devices. Redmi 5 has Wi-Fi 5 GHz.

3. Huawei Nova 2i

This smartphone has a metal case and a dual 13-megapixel main camera with a f/2.0 lens and a 2-megapixel front camera.

Huawei Nova 2i boasts a large 5.93 Full HD+ screen, as well as a good battery life having a 3340 mAh battery. You can not ignore the large storage capacity of 64 GB.

Among the drawbacks: lack of support for fast charging, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, as well as NFC. In addition, you need to protect your smartphone from moisture and dust.

4. LG Q6+

Smartphone LG Q6+ is a simplified version of the flagship LG G6, only without a fingerprint scanner and with a less powerful processor. Its main advantage is a large-format self-camera with a lens and a variable shooting angle of 82-100 degrees, support for NFC and Android Pay. The main camera is 13 megapixels.

It is worth noting the excellent ratio of the screen area to the frontal surface area - 78.0%, 64 GB of internal memory and 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 435. The battery of the gadget is not as capacious as other models in this list, only 3000 mAh. The main camera is also a fail, its characteristics are far from the best on the market.

5. Oppo F5

The Chinese company Oppo introduced the Oppo F5 smartphone with a 20-megapixel self-camera and a 16-megapixel main camera. Intelligent technologies for improving images, managing gestures, unlocking with the face, and a graphical shell in the iOS style make the gadget a very worthy competitor to flagship smartphones.

The ratio of the screen to the frontal surface is 78.1%. Oppo F5 has a hybrid slot for two SIM cards and one memory card, NFC support is missing.

A fairly high price for this category is perhaps the only drawback of the smartphone.

6. Honor 7X

Stylish Honor 7X has a metal case, a large screen with a ratio of 18:9. The gadget has a dual rear camera with a bokeh effect and a battery of 3340 mAh.

Among other things, Honor 7X will interest connoisseurs of the split screen function which allows you to display two applications simultaneously.

There are also standard disadvantages, among them lack of support for NFC and fast charging. In addition, the front-facing camera has only 8 megapixels.
