10. Meizu M6 Note

Average price for a version with 64 GB: 10 397 rubles.

Meizu manufactures devices, mainly mid-range and entry-level devices. And the 5.5-inch M6 Note is the smartphone that is firmly rooted in the mid-price category.

A distinctive feature of the M6 Note is three options for internal memory: 16, 32 and 64 GB. The RAM for the first two options is 3 GB. And the 64-gigabyte model has 4 GB of RAM. In addition to the built-in memory, the device supports expandable storage via a microSD card up to 128 GB.

The device uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. It is outdated, but still fast enough for most games and applications.

The advantages of the device include an excellent dual 12/5 MP rear camera, with a large number of settings. Pictures come out very detailed, with good sharpness with color reproduction. There are several different shooting modes, such as slow-mo, panorama, beauty and time-lapse. There is even GIF mode and Pro mode.

Also, the advantages of the smartphone include:

Good build quality.
Battery capacity (4000 mAh).
The presence of a 3.5 mm audio port.
The presence of a fingerprint scanner.
Quality shooting front camera with a resolution of 16 MP.
Excellent video quality (resolution up to 4k).
Quality sound for such a price.

No USB Type-C.
No contactless payments.

Conclusion: M6 Note is a good option if you need an inexpensive phone with Aliexpress with a good camera.

9. Doogee S60

Average price: 12 387 rub.

The unkillable Nokia 3310 has a Chinese competitor. Doogee S60 was specially designed for harsh conditions, it easily tolerates freezing and even drowns in water, but without consequences for itself (if the depth is up to one and a half meters).

In addition to the aggressive appearance and resistance to the challenges that the environment throws, it is equipped with a perfectly suitable filling - a 5.2-inch Full HD screen (1920x1080), a MediaTek Helio P25 chipset, 64 GB ROM, plus an additional memory slot and 6 GB of RAM.

On the back of the device is a 21 MP camera with a Sony IMX230 sensor, with autofocus and optical stabilization. According to the owners, the pictures are good, although autofocus is slow.

Pros:

Brutal design (for the connoisseur).
The presence of fast charging.
The presence of NFC.
There is a separate compartment for a memory card.
Huge 5580 mAh battery.
The presence of a fingerprint reader.
There is an audio jack 3.5.

Minuses:

Although the smartphone is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, the gloved hand does not perceive the touch screen.
The front camera has a lot of noise and “lame” white balance.

Conclusion: An excellent smartphone with excellent price and features, with NFC and a very capacious battery. To whom such capacity is not enough - pay attention to the OUKITEL K10000 Max from the rating of smartphones with the most powerful battery.

8. Honor 9 Lite

Average price: 14 840 rub. for the version with 64 GB.

What will happen if we simplify the flagship for the needs and purchasing power of the average consumer? The result will be Honor 9 Lite. This is a fashionable elongated (18: 9) and almost frameless 5.65-inch device with an eight-core processor, 32 or 64 GB ROM, 3 or 4 GB RAM and a dual 13/2 rear camera. The front camera is also dual, with the same resolution as the main one. She has a bokeh mode and the ability to control gestures.

The storage can be expanded up to 256 GB with an SD card.

To reduce the cost of the model, I had to sacrifice the filling performance - Kirin 659 (frequency 2.36 GHz) there are not enough stars from the sky, but it works quite tolerably. The device can freeze only with a large number of open sites.

Pros:

There is a quick charge.
There is a standard headphone jack.
Excellent design - the reflective surface under the glass of the back cover makes the device shimmer with a pleasant dim light.

Minuses:

No USB Type-C.
The main camera does not have optical stabilization.
The battery capacity is only 300 mAh.
It’s not suitable for a gaming smartphone - a large screen resolution coupled with medium hardware is equal to low fps.

Conclusion: if you want a beautiful smartphone that takes good pictures - choose Honor 9 Lite.

7. Cubot X18

Average price: 7 179 rub.

The budget representative of the fashionable aspect ratio of 18: 9 with a screen of 5.7 inches HD + (1440x720). The processor, although not too powerful (four cores, a frequency of 1.5 Hz, a Mali-T720 video adapter), is unpretentious and energy-saving. And this is quite out of place with a battery capacity of 3200 mAh. The great advantage of the Cubot X18 is that it has a removable battery.

The device has a little flash memory - only 32 GB, but it can be expanded to 128 GB. The amount of RAM is 3 GB.

Pros:

Two slots for microSIM and one for miscroSD, which is rarely seen even with smartphones of a higher class.
Fast and accurate fingerprint reader.
8-megapixel (with software interpolation up to 13 MP) selfie camera.
A solid appearance (a plastic removable lid successfully mimics a more expensive glass one).

Minuses:

The main 13-megapixel (with interpolation up to 16 MP) camera shoots well only in bright light.

Conclusion: an excellent device for a person who does not need extra "bells and whistles", but needs a quality-built smartphone with a fingerprint sensor, 4G and a removable battery.

6. Asus Zenfone 4 Max

Average price: 10 431 rub. for the version with 32 GB.

The highlight of this model from Asus is a 5000 mAh battery. Since such a battery needs to be placed somewhere, the smartphone can hardly be called "thin" - it has a thickness of 8.9 mm. However, thanks to the rounded corners and streamlined smooth shape, it is convenient to hold the device in your hand.

Between energy efficiency and productivity, the creators of Zenfone 4 Max decided to sacrifice the latter in favor of the former. Therefore, the processor is so-so (quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 with 1.4 GHz, video Adreno 308) or Snapdragon 430, which is slightly better. The amount of RAM varies from 2 GB with 16 GB ROM and up to 3 GB with 32 GB flash memory.

Pros:

A giant battery that can do without recharging for 2-3 days.
The back cover is not slippery.
There is a quick charge function.
Fast fingerprint scanner.
There is a separate compartment for a memory card.
The 13/13 MP dual rear camera will pleasantly please - they did not sacrifice it; white balance level, autofocus consistent.

Minuses:

Although the screen itself is worthy, but when viewed from afar, graininess appears.
A small amount of RAM affects performance - it is better not to open many tabs in the browser.
No USB Type-C.
Contactless payments cannot be made.

Conclusion: a budget smartphone that is not bad in terms of build quality and functionality, which can withstand two days of intensive work.

5. Honor 7C Pro

Average price: 11 891 rub.

The almost complete lack of frames and an 18: 9 aspect ratio make the 5.99 inch 7C Pro a great choice for phable lovers. The filling is not bad for a budget employee - Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor, eight cores, 32 GB ROM, 3 GB RAM, 13/2 MP dual camera with autofocus and flash. There is also a fingerprint scanner. But the manufacturer stinted on the latest USB Type-C charging connector, left microUSB.

Pros:

The ability to insert an additional memory card does not depend on the availability of an additional SIM card.
The color settings of the screen (color balance, UV filter) allow you to peer into it for a long time without compromising vision.
Convenient and thoughtful applications (traffic monitoring, memory access settings for programs) and many settings favorably distinguish EMUI from similar shells.
There is a "split screen" mode.

Minuses:

No NFC chip.
The battery is only 3000 mAh.
Fans of taking photos will not like the minimum settings for shooting.

Conclusion: this smartphone will appeal to those who like to read and play on the big screen and who cares about using 2 SIM cards in parallel with a memory card.

4. Oukitel C8

Average price: 4 644 rub.

After a triumphant march through the market of the Samsung Galaxy S8, the demand for elongated smartphones has grown. Chinese Oukitel engineers responded to market trends, and the 5.5-inch C8 appeared - a very budget one, but with an aspect ratio of 18: 9.

Otherwise, it is not much different from other cheap smartphones from China - a MediaTek MT6580 quad-core processor with a frequency of 1.3 Hz, a Mali-400 MP2 video core, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB of flash memory.

Pros:

There are separate slots for SIM cards and memory cards.
A low resolution plus low power consumption means that a 3000 mAh battery lasts at least a day.
For such a price, a decent 13 MP (interpolation resolution) rear camera and a non-brake fingerprint scanner are included.

Minuses:

Slow performance, you have to forget about 3D applications.
There is no way to make contactless payments.
The micro-USB connector is still widespread, but already outdated.

Conclusion: a model from among the cheap and practical. It is suitable for those who mainly make calls on a smartphone, occasionally reads mail and with one eye peeks at social networks.

3. Leagoo Kiicaa

Average price: 4 302 rub.

In third place in the top of smartphones with Aliexpress is a smartphone from Leagoo. For a very reasonable price, you can get a capacious battery (4000 mAh), a dual 8/5 MP main camera and a front camera of 5 MP, an eight-core processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM and an additional fingerprint scanner. A small five-inch screen has a resolution of HD (1280x720).

A plus:

Removable battery.
Comes with a transparent silicone case.
There is a 3.5 mm mini jack.
There is a fingerprint sensor.
Expandable storage of up to 128 GB is supported.

Minus:

Although the main camera is declared dual, the second module does not bring anything useful, and the photos are mediocre.
One can only dream of NFC or USB Type-C.

Conclusion: the phone can be considered as a good present for a schoolboy, student or as a working “dialer”.

2. Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

Average price: 12 387 rub. for the 64 gigabyte version.

In second place among the best smartphones with "Aliexpress" in 2018, the long-awaited new product from Xiaomi, popular among the residents of the post-Soviet space, is Xiaomi. She has already been lovingly dubbed the "public sector killer."

Of course, the aspect ratio of the huge and bright 5.99 inch screen is the most fashionable - 18: 9. A thin composite (the main part is metal and two plastic inserts on top and bottom), the body of a pleasant streamlined design has four colored “shirts”. The “inner world” of the smartphone is very rich, given its cost: Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset, Adreno 509 video core, RAM from 3 to 6 GB, ROM - 32 or 64 GB and 4000 mAh battery.

A dual 12/5 MP rear camera captures crisp, vivid shots with high detail.

Pros:

Although nominally a mid-range chipset, it is a cut above its analogous predecessors. Even the most iron-dependent toys just fly.
There are many useful options, including an infrared transmitter to simulate a remote control.
There is a fingerprint sensor.
Expansion of storage of memory is provided.
There is a standard headphone jack.

Minus:

Cheaper models have long been able to install two SIM cards and one memory card, and in the latest Redmi Note 5 you have to choose - either 2 SIM cards, or 1 SIM card and 1 SD card.
No USB Type-C.
Contactless payments cannot be made.
Before buying, ask the seller which version of Redmi Note 5 he offers: Chinese or international. In the first case, you have to tinker with the firmware. The second version is preferable, it supports Russian 3G-4G-LTE frequencies and the Russian language is installed in it out of the box.

Conclusion: if you need a large, productive, beautiful smartphone with an excellent camera, then here it is.

1. Xiaomi Redmi 5A

Average price: 6 453 rub. for 32 GB

Xiaomi's products, especially the Redmi line, have long been popular with residents of the Russian Federation. They love her for the excellent price / quality ratio, and more quality than you expect for this price.

The Redmi 5A smartphone was no exception. The 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 is characterized by natural colors, even illumination throughout and wide viewing angles. A little unexpected decision was the plastic case of the new product, in contrast to the usual metal one. But there are pluses in this - such a case is more difficult to bite with fingers.

The smartphone’s hardware is not the best - the quad-core 1.4 GHz Snapdragon 425 processor, the Adreno 308 video core, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of ROM, or 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. The device works smartly, does not slow down, does not freeze, if you do not force it to “pull” the latest game. The 3000 mAh battery lasts for a day and a half of active work.

Cameras for a state employee are very worthy (13 MP main and 5 MP front). If in doubt, which phone to order with Aliexpress in 2018, choose Xiaomi Redmi 5A.

Pros:

Thoughtful optimization allows the smartphone to work at the level of more expensive models.
You can install an SD card.

Minuses:

The manufacturer, for the sake of low power consumption, underestimated the brightness of the screen, which is not very convenient in bright light.
No fingerprint scanner.
Contactless payments cannot be made.
No USB Type-C.

Conclusion: a stylish smartphone for those who are tired of "shovels", do not need a fingerprint scanner, but it is necessary that all applications work quickly.
