In the article you will find phones up to 15,000 rubles. We will also talk about those phones that can be purchased for that kind of money only through Chinese online stores.
Many people will never spend on a smartphone an amount that goes beyond certain limits. Most often, 15,000 rubles act as a kind of limiter. It seems to the consumer that for this money you can find a device with the best characteristics. In fact, of course, this is not the case. But buying a device with good performance and wide functionality is quite possible.
What to look for in a smartphone under 15 thousand
Modern smartphones are made up of many components. Some of them are very expensive, and therefore their installation greatly increases the cost of the device. That is why it is impossible to find a smartphone worth 15,000 rubles with top specifications on store shelves. In particular, pay attention to the following components:
- Display- do not expect a screen with 4K resolution in an inexpensive gadget;
- RAM- its maximum volume (4 GB or more) is found only in expensive phones;
- Persistent memory- mid-budget smartphones most often get no more than 32 GB, but they have a slot for a microSD card;
- WiFi- the performance of this module is likely to be limited by the 802.11n standard;
- - in the production of an inexpensive device, this chip is most often abandoned, although this does not always happen;
- Camera- smartphones priced at 15,000 rubles are capable of creating good pictures, but it’s better not to even dream of high-quality video;
- Sensors- many companies also prefer to save on them, refusing a gyroscope, a digital compass and a barometer.
There are exceptions to these rules, of course. But be sure that if the manufacturer has built in some high-quality component, then he will definitely save on the rest of the components. Miracles are not to be expected.
Xiaomi Mi5X
- Operating system:
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625
- Camera: 12 MP + 12 MP, f/2.2
If you order this smartphone in some Chinese online store, you can easily meet the 13-15 thousand rubles. Russians really like Xiaomi products, this model also deserves positive feedback. The device can even surprise if you are not used to high data transfer rates. The fact is that the phone has LTE modules and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. The creators even endowed it with an infrared transmitter so that the user could control the TV.
The camera is the most vulnerable point of many mid-budget smartphones. But Xiaomi Mi5X is an exception to the rule. Its rear camera has two lenses. The eight-core processor from Qualcomm easily copes with the picture coming from them. As a result, the owner of the device will enjoy high-quality photographs. Moreover, the smartphone is even capable of 4K video shooting, albeit only with a standard frame rate of 30 fps.
In general, it is almost impossible to find fault with a smartphone. Someone will not like only the battery capacity of 3080 mAh. With the IPS-display with Full HD resolution used, this is really only enough for a day and a half of battery life. But the device weighs only 165 g.
Neffos X1 Max
- Operating system:
- CPU: MediaTek Helio P10
- Camera: 13 MP, f/2.0
The TP-LINK company, familiar to many from routers, decided to enter the smartphone market. At the same time, its management founded a separate sub-brand so as not to associate new products with its name directly. So several phones were born, one of which is the Neffos X1 Max. This is an inexpensive device equipped with a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The bezels on the sides of the display turned out to be quite wide, so you can’t call a small smartphone. But on the other hand, under its body there was a place for two slots for SIM cards, several wireless modules, a high-quality GPS chip and a very good eight-core processor.
For photography, the smartphone uses a traditional 13-megapixel camera module. It cannot be said that they create masterpieces, but one cannot call a bad rear camera either. Photos are stored in the built-in memory, which is 32 GB. If this seems not enough, then you can use a memory card. Despite the relatively low cost, the device received a fingerprint scanner that will protect personal data from prying eyes. In general, the smartphone deserves positive reviews - it is not in vain that it is in great demand in many Russian retail chains.
Moto G5
- Operating system: Android 7.0
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 430
- Camera: 13 MP, f/2.0
Gadgets under the Moto brand are usually sold for quite a lot of money. But the Moto G5 is the exception to the rule. It easily falls into the rating of phones up to 15,000 rubles - for less money you can buy it even in Russian retail, without waiting for delivery from a Chinese online store. The device is liked by buyers due to many factors. Firstly, it uses a "naked" version of Android 7.0, which works very quickly. Secondly, the smartphone turned out to be compact and light, which many competitors cannot boast of. Thirdly, the relatively small display has a Full HD resolution, which indicates a huge pixel density. In a word, the smartphone produces a clear and smooth picture, some kind of brakes occur extremely rarely.
The device has a standard set of wireless modules. That is, it includes LTE-A, Bluetooth 4.2 and i 802.11n, but you will have to forget about NFC. Some disappointment for the buyer can only cause the amount of memory. If 2 GB of RAM is quite normal for a smartphone with such a price, then 16 GB of ROM will force you to get a microSD card. I am glad that the creators have not forgotten about the fingerprint sensor, which has recently become an indispensable attribute of mid-budget models.
For photography, a 13-megapixel camera is used here. It also records video - at Full HD resolution, the frequency will be 30 frames / s. In short, this smartphone has a good camera, which is not very common in this price segment.
Xiaomi Mi A1
- Operating system: Android 7.1
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625
- Camera: 12 MP + 12 MP, f/2.2
The Chinese company Xiaomi is actively promoting its shell called MIUI. However, not everyone likes it. Firstly, it does not have an application menu - all shortcuts go to the desktop. Secondly, it takes away some amount of RAM. And that's just the first thing that comes to mind. Therefore, it is not surprising that the manufacturer decided to take part in the Android One program by releasing a device with a "naked" version of the operating system. He became.
In fact, the phone is a copy of Mi5X, all specifications are almost identical. It also uses an eight-core processor from Qualcomm, which belongs to the mid-budget segment. The amount of memory built in is also impressive. Even the camera used is the same - it's a dual module with 12-megapixel matrices. In a word, the main difference is Android, devoid of a proprietary shell. Due to this, the system works a little faster. It is a pity that it is still quite difficult to find a smartphone at an adequate price.
Huawei P10 Lite
- Operating system: Android 7.0
- CPU: HiSilicon Kirin 658
- Camera: 12 MP, f/2.8
Huawei makes a lot of money manufacturing cell towers and other wireless equipment. Therefore, do not be surprised that even inexpensive Huawei smartphones have a lot of modern wireless modules. For example, there is not only support for LTE, but also NFC. This suggests that the phone can be used for contactless payments. And it also has an excellent navigation module that understands signals from GPS and GLONASS satellites.
It is difficult to find fault with the technical characteristics of the device. Power is enough to run heavy applications and three-dimensional games. Brakes are almost non-existent. The picture is displayed on a 5.2-inch display with Full HD resolution. A pair of slots for SIM-cards will allow you to combine the tariffs of different operators. The body of the device is made of glass and metal. At the same time, the gadget turned out to be quite light - its weight does not exceed 146 g. Only the camera can cause some dissatisfaction with the buyer. It has a high resolution, but its aperture only opens up to f/2.8. Because of this, the system has to make the shutter speed longer, which makes it difficult to create a perfect shot.
- Operating system: Android 6.0
- CPU: MediaTek MT6753
- Camera: 13 MP, f/2.2
Meizu also has a good phone within 15,000 rubles in 2017. Its model, called the M5s, has a modest 5.2-inch display - its resolution is only dots. But on the other hand, the device includes a decent camera - it has a 13-megapixel matrix and a wide-opening aperture. A 5-megapixel front camera is intended for taking selfies - buyers almost never complain about it when writing reviews.
The device is able to work in LTE networks. It also understands signals from GLONASS satellites, which indicates the high accuracy of navigation readings. Everything is in order here and with the amount of memory. Also under the body of the smartphone is an eight-core processor, complemented by a Mali-T720 graphics accelerator. All this allows the gadget to run any games, only in some of them you will have to lower the graphics settings. The creators have not forgotten the fingerprint sensor, which will prevent an outsider from gaining access to your personal information.
Huawei Honor 6X
- Operating system: Android 7.0
- CPU: HiSilicon Kirin 655
- Camera: 12 MP + 2 MP, f/2.2
A wonderful smartphone built on the basis of a very powerful eight-core processor. Under the body of this phone are hidden 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory - many buyers do not even think about installing a microSD card. Also, the device is endowed with a good set of wireless modules. In particular, the user will be able to transfer data via LTE networks and navigate the map using GLONASS satellites. The only thing missing here is an NFC chip that would allow you to install Android Pay, replacing a bank card with a smartphone.
As the main camera, Huawei Honor 6X has a built-in Sony IMX386 module with two lenses. Under one is a matrix with a resolution of 12 megapixels and f / 2.2 aperture. The second lens hides a more modest sensor - its resolution does not exceed 2 megapixels, and it is needed to analyze the depth of the scene. As a result, when taking pictures, you can achieve blurring of the background, which looks very beautiful when creating portraits. As for the front camera, it has an 8-megapixel module - this is also a very good result.
Otherwise, the characteristics of the device are typical for a mid-range smartphone from Huawei. For example, there is a fingerprint scanner, as well as a navigation module that understands signals from GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou satellites.
ZTE Blade V8
- Operating system: Android 7.0
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 435
- Camera: 13 MP + 2 MP, f/2.0
Another smartphone that can perceive the depth of the scene. He also manages to blur the background well due to the use of an additional two-megapixel camera module. The picture is displayed on a 5.2-inch screen created using IPS technology. It should be noted that this device has a built-in high-quality front camera - its resolution has been increased to 13 megapixels. You can use the front camera not only for taking selfies, but also for streaming video broadcasting directly from the street - high-speed data transfer is provided by the LTE module.
ZTE Blade V8 is built on the basis of an eight-core processor, supplemented by an Adreno 505 graphics accelerator. Nothing bad can be said about the memory - its volume will be enough for the vast majority of buyers. But the main advantage of this model is a large number of all kinds of sensors. In particular, a gyroscope, a digital compass and a fingerprint scanner get into phones under 15,000 rubles quite rarely.
The smartphone has a 2730 mAh battery, which is enough for one and a half to two days of battery life. A headset is supplied with the smartphone - this is also important.
Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017)
- Operating system: Android 7.0
- CPU: Samsung Exynos 7570 Quad
- Camera: 8 MP, f/1.9
Unfortunately, the price range we have chosen includes an extremely limited number of smartphones from Samsung. If we talk exclusively about fresh models, then we will have to consider buying the Galaxy J3 (2017). Why "have to"? It's just that the device has a number of shortcomings. For example, the device does not include an NFC chip that would enable Android Pay. Also, not everyone will like the HD resolution of the 5-inch display. It should be noted that the screen was created using PLS technology - this can also be written in the "cons" category. But the battery capacity of 2400 mAh does not seem insufficient - this is quite enough for a compact device.
The gadget would not have made it to our rating of phones in 2017 up to 15,000 rubles if it did not have a large number of significant advantages. In particular, support for LTE is built in here, providing support for data transfer at high speed. Another device is able to boast a high-quality GPS-chip. Finally, the buyer will like the rear camera, which can shoot detailed Full HD video at 30 frames / s. The smartphone turned out to be light, while it is able to take on board up to two SIM-cards. Most of all, the buyer will regret the lack of a fingerprint scanner - a phone worth 12,000 should certainly have it.
And yet, if you are willing to pay a couple of thousand rubles, then it is better to look towards the Galaxy A3 (2017) with its AMOLED screen and other advantages.

Samsung Galaxy J7 video review
Smartphone Huawei Nova

Another phablet in our top 10 is equipped with a 5.93-inch IPS screen.

After going through the budget class smartphones, we smoothly switch to the middle segment along with the rating of the best smartphones under 15,000 rubles in 2017. This class is considered to be the most popular and bright. Manufacturers often present mid-range models, and most users prefer affordable solutions that can satisfy absolutely any request. Since the segment is really wide, we decided to set the range from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles when choosing smartphones for the rating.
Basically, preference was given to the best-selling models of this class, which have already managed to catch the fancy of users. They did not shun new smartphones up to 15,000 rubles, which already at the start of sales declared their superiority. It was decided not to include some rare models that can surprise with their characteristics, since we have a separate one. In general, today we will have on our agenda the best smartphones under 15,000 rubles, which sell well, have many positive reviews and are really worth the money that the manufacturer requires for them.
Xiaomi Mi A1
The novelty of Xiaomi, which took a place next to smartphones up to 15,000 rubles. “Pure” Android has become a key feature (the rest of the company’s solutions “out of the box” come with a proprietary MIUI shell). Mi A1 is an exact copy of the model that the manufacturer showed a little earlier. What is the difference? In the already mentioned “pure” Android, which the Mi 5X solution does not have.
As for the characteristics, then - a classic smartphone in the price range up to 15,000 rubles. It is quite handsome, well built and ergonomic. Outwardly, it resembles the latest OnePlus or iPhone 7. The standard screen is 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. But the cameras, according to the manufacturer, migrated from the latest Xiaomi flagship - Mi6. In fact, this is not true, as we have seen in . The “heart” is the popular Snapdragon 625 chipset, which is capable of running games confidently and the battery does not die like crazy.
We bring to your attention.
The smartphone received an impressive 4 gigs of RAM, 64 GB is available for the needs of the user. A non-removable 3080 mAh battery is installed, which is enough for a day of active work. One of the best smartphones under 15,000 rubles supports 4G LTE, is equipped with a USB-C connector. The cherry on top will be the naked version of Android Nougat.
Xiaomi Mi A1, given the price of a smartphone of about 15,000 rubles, can be a good option for many users. It is quite beautiful, perfectly assembled, has a decent performance. The key disadvantages of the model include the lack of an NFC interface (but there is an infrared port).
Meizu M6
A real find for fans of Meizu smartphones, which is just. The company reconsidered its attitude to the "hardware", again purchasing processors from Qualcomm, which managed to please users who love to play. The design has remained virtually unchanged compared to previous inexpensive but good Meizu smartphones. A dual camera (12 + 5 MP), a 4-LED flash appeared, and fast charging technology was announced.
The 5.5-inch IPS display is inherited from its predecessors. The Snapdragon 625 chip is used - quite powerful and efficient. You are free to choose the amount of memory yourself - the M6 Note has no problems with it. Finally, the best Meizu smartphone under 15,000 rubles in 2017 received a good 4000 mAh battery. You won’t be able to do without an outlet for weeks, but for sure a day or two.
The M6 Note is relatively recent on the market. A smartphone with firmware that is good in all respects has problems - the manufacturer is working on a stable version. Not everything goes smoothly with the second camera. Generally, .
DOOGEE MIX
No matter how you feel about frameless smartphones, you have to admit that they are in great demand among the modern buyer. For example, DOOGEE MIX (), presented in the summer of 2017 in the price segment up to 15,000 rubles, has now become one of the best-selling solutions in many online stores.
Before us is a beautiful device, devoid of frames around the screen on three sides. The case is made of glass and metal, has a premium look. An HD-resolution AMOLED display, a rather nimble Helio P25 chip for the segment is installed - not a flagship, but it shows decent performance results. A serious amount of RAM (4 GB) will provide good multitasking, and 64 GB of ROM will be enough for most users and their files.
Like bezel-less smartphones? Then you definitely need.
A good smartphone under 15,000 rubles from DOOGEE received a dual main camera (16 + 8 MP), as well as a fairly powerful 3380 mAh battery. MIX supports the fast charging function, there is a fingerprint scanner.
DOOGEE MIX is an inexpensive but good smartphone that can be considered the best among frameless solutions from third-tier companies. There are nuances that may push you away from buying, so we advise you to start.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017)
Price: in Russian stores about 18,000 rubles, on Ali - 15,000 rubles. Today Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) can be ordered on Aliexpress, which pleases - very fast delivery in Russia ( seller with 2000+ orders)
From the best Chinese smartphones up to 15,000 rubles, we turn to Korean ones. This year, Samsung flashed not only a couple of flagships, including the recent one, but also updated the mid-range and budget-class lines. Most of all, users have chosen the relatively inexpensive, but good Galaxy J5 (2017) - there are not enough stars, but it will satisfy the needs of the majority.
In the ranking of the best smartphones under 10,000 rubles, the Galaxy J5 would like to be awarded the title of the most balanced solution in terms of price / quality. The model received an updated design, which allows it to claim a higher class. The plastic that was used in last year's smartphones of the line has been replaced by metal. An AMOLED matrix with HD resolution and an optimal diagonal of 5.2 inches is used. A smartphone with a really good 13 MP camera (f / 1.7 aperture), and the front module is also supplemented with a flash. The processor, so to speak, is a budget one (branded Exynos), 2 + 16 GB of memory and a 3000 mAh battery - these are the main characteristics.
More interestingly, the Galaxy J5 received an NFC interface, which makes it an even more interesting smartphone under 15,000 rubles. Out of the box, the model runs on the current version of Android, using a new shell from Samsung.
If you have not yet developed confidence in inexpensive Chinese smartphones, the Galaxy J5 can be a great replacement. He has no serious shortcomings, but.
Huawei Honor 6X
Huawei in recent years has managed to break into the top three most successful smartphone manufacturers in the world. The Chinese company regularly replenishes its lineup, and, as a rule, presents very, very interesting solutions. Honor 6X is the best smartphone manufacturer under 15,000 rubles. Its key feature is a good dual camera (12 + 2 MP) located on the back side. The case, by the way, is completely made of metal.
The screen is large - 5.5 inches with FullHD resolution, which provides an excellent picture. The hardware of the smartphone is based on the proprietary 8-core Kirin 655 chip, which can be assisted by 3 or 4 GB of RAM (depending on the version). In addition, you can choose the amount of internal storage. The 3340 mAh non-removable battery supports fast charging. Huawei Honor 6X got NFC.
Of course, the model deserves a place in the top of the best smartphones under 15,000 rubles in 2017. This is a solid device with a large screen and good cameras, which, moreover, has some flagship features.
Oukitel K10000 Pro
Oukitel follows the rule of low cost and acceptable performance in the production of its smartphones. The company is particularly interested in solutions with huge batteries. The most powerful batteries are received by smartphones of the K10000 line, which are located in the price segment up to 15,000 rubles. As the name implies, the capacity of their batteries reaches 10,000 mAh - few other manufacturers are ready to boast of such autonomous devices.
Oukitel K10000 Pro is ready to please not only with a huge battery. The smartphone also has a large 5.5″ display covered with scratch-resistant glass, decent cameras (13 + 5), and a fast 8-core MT6750 chip and 3 GB of RAM provide good performance. A really good smartphone under 15,000 rubles, if you are not afraid of a weight of 300 grams.
Oukitel K10000 Pro will appeal to those who are tired of frequently charging their device. The main disadvantages are related to the dimensions of the smartphone, which will not allow you to comfortably fit it in a shirt pocket.
Ulefone T1
In the summer of 2017, a number of third-tier companies were marked by rather interesting flagship innovations. Among them was Ulefone with its T1. The smartphone, first of all, stands out for the amount of RAM - 6 GB is still a rarity in this price segment. The model came out quite thin, adopted the main design elements from the key novelties of the summer, and also received a modern MediaTek Helio P25 chipset and 64 GB of internal memory.
Ulefone T1 did not remain without a dual camera (where without it in 2017), and one of the sensors was provided by Samsung. The smartphone is equipped with a good display, quite autonomous and stylish. It remains only to note that in the top phones under 15,000 rubles, it is the only one that boasts 6 GB of RAM.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2
Another recent Xiaomi smartphone that is not going to pass by the ratings of the best. Here we have a huge 6.44-inch phablet, beautiful and of high quality. The body is made of metal, the smartphone is well-assembled, quite thin for such an impressive diagonal, the screen is made using IPS technology, and the resolution is classic 1920x1080 pixels.
The manufacturer abandoned the flagship hardware in the smartphone, so you will have to be content with the mid-range Snapdragon 625 and 4 gigs of RAM. Meanwhile, there are no problems with the speed of launching applications or games. The main camera is one, but the quality of the pictures is quite high. Pleased with a powerful smartphone battery of 5300 mAh, which will not leave the user without communication at the most inopportune moment, as well as support for 2 SIM cards and 4G. If Xiaomi Mi Max 2 does not pull up to 15,000 rubles for the title of the best smartphone, then it certainly deserves the “position” of the best phablet.
Nokia 5
Price: Most stores offer a smartphone at a price of 12990 rubles.
There is not much point in ordering from China if there is no desire to mess with flashing.
Many of us have witnessed another renaissance of the Nokia brand. This year, the company showed several smartphones at once. Under 15,000 rubles, the Nokia 5 model became the most interesting. The smartphone adopted the classic design of the company, it is perfectly assembled, but it does not shine with its characteristics. The screen of the device, despite the price, received only HD-resolution with a diagonal of 5.2 inches. The "stuffing" is the budget Snapdragon 430 chipset, which is installed in (it costs less than 7,000 rubles).
But an inexperienced user should be pleased with the cameras, a smart fingerprint scanner and good autonomy. Separately, it should be said that the smartphone supports the NFC interface, which allows you to make contactless payments. "RAM" is only 2 gigabytes, permanent memory - 16 gigabytes.
Despite the fact that already, the model remains relevant. The compact 4.7-inch smartphone is enclosed in a reliable metal case, good cameras for 15,000 rubles are installed, which even many devices of 2017 do. Powerful hardware coupled with an optimized system will allow you to enjoy a smooth interface in any task.
