Smartphones up to 6,000 rubles: 2016 rating
5. Philips S309
Price: from 4,200 rubles.
Pros: nice appearance, good build quality, price.
Minuses: First of all, this is the firmware (it is especially unpleasant that some settings may fly off after turning the phone on and off). Secondly, weak battery capacity (1600 mAh).
Attention: the model has two options - with 4 and 8 GB. A model with 4 GB of memory comes with Android 4.4, and it is impossible to update it to a newer version.
4. Philips S337
Price: from 5 500 rubles.
Pros: The build quality and reaction speed of the phone for its price category are not bad - it does not hang, it does not buggy, it has good communication and battery capacity (2000 mAh).
Minuses: outdated screen (poor viewing angles, very moderate anti-aliasing, color reproduction, as on displays a decade ago). Touch control does not respond well in the lower right corner.
3. Microsoft Lumia 430 Dual SIM
Price: from 4,200 rubles.
Pros: At first, the system of “living tiles” can frighten an unprepared user, however, it is much more convenient in operation than it seems. The operating system is exactly the same as on the flagship model Lumia 950, so everything opens immediately, without slowdowns or sagging. The call quality is excellent. The phone comes with virtually no programs, they will have to be downloaded from the store, but there are many of them and the vast majority are free. The low cost of the smartphone allowed him to participate in the ranking of smartphones in 2016 to 5,000 rubles.
Minuses: the equipment does not shine with wealth: there is a charge - and okay. Camera without autofocus and just 2 megapixels. Battery capacity 1500 mAh.
2. LG Leon H324
Price: from 5 500 rubles.
Pros: Despite the very moderate amount of RAM (only 768 MB) it works quickly, without freezing, apparently, thanks to perfectly optimized software and a 4-core processor. The camera is 5 megapixel, with autofocus, so the photo from it will not be embarrassing to upload to the Internet. Smooth non-marking screen with a clear picture, a 1900 mAh battery.
Minuses: There is no light sensor. Yes, and I want more memory.
1. Microsoft Lumia 435 Dual Sim
Price: from 4,500 rubles.
The best smartphone up to 6,000 rubles in 2016.
Pros: screen with excellent color reproduction, non-marking. The operating system is fast. Battery capacity (1560 mAh) is enough for a day of intensive use (surfing the Internet, chat rooms, a lot of calls, music, games, video). Very fast GPS.
Minuses: the manufacturer saved on the camera. It is two megapixel, without flash.
Smartphones up to 7000 rubles: 2016 rating
5. ASUS ZenFone C ZC451CG
Price: from 6 900 rubles.
High-quality assembly, solid appearance, bright screen, convenient services, 2100 mAh battery.
Minuses: It may become hot when working with “heavy” applications. Quiet speaker. The need to constantly clean up RAM to speed up the device.
4. LG Spirit H422
Price: from 7,000 rubles.
Pros: stylish design, good sound, capacious battery (2100 mAh). The work, although it does not strike the imagination with speed, is quite fast.
Minuses: Applications can only be installed in the device’s memory (however, some of them cannot be transferred to the SD card). The need to constantly count and figure out whether there is enough memory can bore many.
3. Microsoft Lumia 430 Dual SIM
Price: from 4,200 rubles.
Excellent value for money from Microsoft.
2. LG Leon H324
Price: from 5 500 rubles.
A good working smartphone with a simple and stylish design.

Price: from 7,000 rubles.
The best smartphone up to 7000 rubles in 2016 according to user reviews.
Pros: memory capacity, excellent sound, strong assembly without backlash. Built-in Office and OneDrive. Accurate GPS. A small case that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Minuses: the screen is weak, but the picture quality is quite on par. There are few settings, for experienced users there is not enough functionality. Battery 1560 mAh.
