Best Choice: Honor 9 Lite / Huawei P Smart
</ img>
We do not accidentally combined Honor 9 Lite and Huawei PSmart - they are very similar in filling, and the main differences lie in the design. Both smartphones are equipped with a “high” 5.65-inch screen with an 18: 9 aspect ratio and a proprietary eight-core Kirin 659 processor, which is enough to run any applications, but with games from competitors in Snapdragon, it can be better. RAM 3 GB, 32 GB drive. The microSD card - only instead of the second sim card. The main camera and there and there at 13 + 2 megapixels, dual system allows you to make photos with a blurred background. For lovers of selfies, Honor 9 Lite with a 13 + 2 megapixel dual front-facing camera versus the “regular” 8-megapixel module of the P Smart is more suitable.
3000 mAh battery is enough for a fullwork day. Micro USB port, fast charging is not, as well as support for Wi-Fi 5 GHz. But smartphones got NFC. Honor 9 Lite in a case with a glass back panel stands 4700 hryvnia. Huawei P Smart has a metal back with plastic inserts at the top and bottom, and the price again fell to 5000 hryvnia. If you liked this particular model - take it until you have disassembled it.

Honor 9 lite
I am brilliant
Beautiful smartphone with a "high" screen, four cameras and NFC. A great option for those who are not keen on heavy games with 3D graphics. And if you do not like the glass case, there is a Huawei P Smart.

Nokia 6.1 has dropped significantly, and now it can be purchased for 5000 hryvnia. For the money the buyer gets a gooda middling with a 5.5-inch Full HD-screen 16: 9 and a vigorous eight-core Snapdragon 630 processor, which copes even with demanding games (although in PUBG Mobile graphics settings you will have to lower it so that FPS does not subside). In this version, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory with the possibility of expansion by microSD cards. Hybrid slot
Nokia 6.1 cameras are average. The main Zeiss sensor with a 16-megapixel sensor and optics shoots well during the day, but in the evening and at night the detail drops. Front module - 8 MP. The 3000 mAh battery supports fast charging through the USB Type-C port and provides an average of one and a half days of battery life. With more active use of the smartphone can be "planted" in the evening.
The device is produced by the program Android One, forAn update to Android 9 Pie is already available, and next year there will be an update to Android Q (after the official release of the new system). Nokia 6.1 also supports NFC payments. The body is all-metal, but due to the general angularity of the face, they cut into the palm. The case when it is worth twisting the device in your hands before you buy.

Nokia 6.1
Classic smartphone on Android One
The second generation Nokia 6 fixed somedisadvantages of the original model. The smartphone has a more powerful chipset and supports fast charging technology, but it is inferior in quality to the closest competitors.

Protected alternative: Sigma mobile X-treme PQ52
</ img>
If you are just afraid to break the smartphone whenIn the fall, you can get by buying a shockproof case for a conventional device. Because in terms of characteristics, protected models are noticeably lagging behind. Even the more advanced Sigma mobile X-treme PQ52 is built on the weak quad-core MediaTek MT6737T chipset. He also received a 5-inch HD-screen, covered with Gorilla Glass 3. There are 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory plus a slot for microSD cards. The main camera is 13 megapixel, an 8 megapixel front-facing module.
The main and, in fact, the only trump card gadget -IP68 dust and water protection. Sigma mobile X-treme PQ52 can withstand immersion to a depth of 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. It does not weigh as much as 178 grams, although the battery here is not the largest - 3000 mAh. On the day of work in normal mode, enough, but no more. Smartphone will cost 5000 hryvnia.
pros
Minuses
- slim body
- IP68 protection
- budget processor
- not "long-playing" model
Sigma mobile X-treme PQ52
Not afraid of water and dirt
Something in between weighty "bricks" andordinary smartphones. IP68 protection and a bumper-reinforced case are good, but the hardware is designed only for simple usage scenarios: calls, correspondence, videos and simple games.

Big screen: Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus
</ img>
At first, we did not plan to include Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus in the list due to the 3/32 GB version, which is gradually disappearing from sale. But there is also an older configuration with 4/64 GB of memory for 5000 hryvnia. You can take whatever you find. The speed of gigabytes of "RAM" will not greatly affect, but the increased volume of the drive will not be superfluous - because of the hybrid slot when using two SIM-cards, you cannot insert a microSD either.
Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus meets elongated6-inch full HD display. Inside, a non-replaceable eight-core Snapdragon 625 chip is installed. This is not a gaming machine, but for Asphalt 8, the average graphics settings are enough, and there will be no problems with applications at all. The 12-megapixel camera on the back side is only one, but thanks to the portrait mode in the MIUI 10 shell, users can shoot portraits with programmatic blurring of the background. Front-facing 5 megapixel camera. The 4000 mAh battery will last for a day in active mode, although if you wish, you can “land” it by the end of the working day. There is an infrared port to control home appliances, NFC is not delivered. The body is metallic, with small plastic inserts on top and bottom.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus
Good in almost everything
One of the best inexpensive smartphones with a large screen diagonal. Gradually, it will push out the newer models of Xiaomi, but for now this has not happened, you need to use the moment.

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite

If you already felt Nokia 6.1, and you did not like it, you should look at a more catchy Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite. It is also available on the Android One program and within two years will receive regular system updates. The only thing you have to donate is NFC. Yes, the smartphone was created on the basis of the Chinese Redmi 6 Pro, but for the international model, the company could have strained and added support for contactless payments. A similar story with the senior Xiaomi Mi A2, but we digress from the topic.
Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite is equipped with 5.The 84-inch Full HD + display with an aspect ratio of 19: 9 and a notch on top - the “fringe” mod has not spared Xiaomi. The heart of the smartphone was the same SoC Snapdragon 625. Only the version with 3 GB of operational and 32 GB of built-in fit into the budget. Special thanks for the triple tray for two SIM-cards and microSD.
Rear camera dual mainThe 12 megapixel module shows good results during the day. In the evening, the quality of photos falls, here Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite is not far from its competitors. An additional 5 megapixel sensor is designed to create a bokeh effect. The front camera on the 5 MP does not particularly stand out. Autonomy is not pumped up: a 4000 mAh battery provides an average of two days of battery life. There is no quick charge again. Issue price - 5000 hryvnia.
pros
Minuses
- good screen (if not embarrassed cutout)
- good car
- microSD slot
- secondary design
- no fast charge
- no nfc
Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
Potential bestseller
The smartphone is great in the hand, and with it you do not need to constantly monitor the battery level. If the company did not try to copy the design of the iPhone and added NFC, it would be great at all.

What have the Koreans: Samsung Galaxy J4 +
</ img>
In parallel with the sale of Galaxy J3 (2017) remnants in Ukrainian stores, a rising Korean star in the budget segment appeared - Samsung Galaxy J4 + with a price tag in 5000 hryvnia. This is a cute 6-inch smartphone.HD +, but inside it is not much different from any "Chinese" half the price. Not the newest quad-core Snapdragon 425, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of expandable internal memory - here Samsung’s crafted shell will be cramped. There is no fingerprint scanner either; instead, the simplest face recognition system with a 5 megapixel front-facing camera is used to unlock it. One thing is good - the manufacturer added an NFC chip.
The main 13 megapixel camera Samsung GalaxyJ4 + shoots well in good light, in the dark it is better not to even try. The back panel is not some kind of durable glass, but plastic that is easily scratching. The cover just does not hurt. The battery is 3300 mAh, due to the simple filling it will calmly last for a day and a half of work without recharging.
In the bottom line, we have a beautiful device knownbrand for undemanding users who are not willing to buy Chinese smartphones. If finances allow, it is better to immediately look in the direction of the older Samsung Galaxy J6 + for 5700 hryvnia, which offers 3/32 GB of memory, a fingerprint scanner on the end and a double rear camera.
pros
Minuses
- nice design
- microSD slot
- NFC
- weak iron
- little memory
- plastic behind
Samsung Galaxy J4 +
Korean compromise
The smartphone looks good in life and supports NFC, but the memory is unforgivable little. This is a model for calls, instant messengers, watching videos and undemanding games.
