10. HTC U11 EYEs

The average price is 23 900 rubles.

Specifications:

Android 7.1 OS
dual SIM support
6 ″ screen, resolution 2160 × 1080
12 MP camera, autofocus, F / 1.7
read only memory 64 GB, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
4 GB RAM
3930 mAh battery
weight of 185 g, WxHxT 74.99 × 157.90 × 8.50 mm

U11 EYEs use the same brilliant “fluid design” as the flagship U11 +. However, it does not have several flagship features in return for a more affordable price. The device is equipped with an eight-core Snapdragon 652 chip, 64 GB of internal storage and 4 GB of RAM.

Its six-inch screen has a resolution of 2160 × 1080 instead of QHD (2560 × 1440) like the U11 +, and does not have the BoomSound stereo speakers that the U11 + has.

The pride of this model is the dual front-facing cameras (5 + 5 megapixels) with an f / 2.2 aperture and a wide 80-degree view. In addition to the bokeh effect, the selfie camera also supports beauty mode. You can either use the automatic mode, or manually “play around” with the options for smoothing and brightening the skin, make the face in the picture thinner, or enlarge your eyes.

Another interesting feature of U11 EYEs are AR stickers for selfies. This is a set of animated cartoons - be it a hat, sunglasses, products, rabbit ears and much more - that are automatically displayed on the faces of all people in the photo.

Pros:

Beautiful case design, which also has IP67 water resistance.
There is an NFC chip.
There is a slot for expanding memory.
There is a quick charge function.
A new type of USB Type-C charging connector.
Capacious 3930 mAh battery.

2700 mAh battery
weight of 188 g, WxHxT 79x165x8.10 mm

In ninth place in the ranking of smartphones up to 25,000 rubles in 2018, there is a model from a subsidiary of a well-known Japanese brand. It is offered in two versions: with 32 and 64 GB of flash memory. In this case, the amount of RAM in both versions is 4 GB.

Those who are familiar with the design of Sony Xperia smartphones find it difficult to find something new in the XA1 Ultra at a glance. In appearance, this smartphone is very similar to its predecessors. However, its “body” is no longer curved at the edges and has a square design, and the sides are curved in front and behind, which makes it easier to hold the device in your hand.

The large and bright 6-inch display is protected by scratch-resistant glass. The smartphone has a special two-stage camera button that you can use to focus and shoot the image.

Inside the gadget is an eight-core MediaTek Helio P20 chip, a memory expansion slot and a non-removable 2700 mAh battery with Qnovo Adaptive charging technology that slows down the charging speed when the battery approaches 100 percent charge.

Pros:

There is the latest USB Type-C charging connector.
There is an NFC.
The excellent rear 23 MP camera has a macro mode and optical image stabilization.
Bright and rich sound in the headphones.

Small battery capacity, although enough for a day of intensive work.
No fingerprint scanner. You have to use smart unlocking from Google.
No moisture protection.

8. ASUS ZenFone 4 ZE554KL

Specifications:

Android 7.1

6 GB RAM
3300 mAh battery
weight 165 g, WxHxT 75.20 × 155.40 × 7.50 mm

If the previous participant in the top smartphones had two different versions of the built-in memory, then this model has two versions of the RAM - 4 GB and 6 GB. But the amount of built-in storage is the same - 64 GB.

Featuring an attractive design, a basic 12/8 MP dual camera, a powerful Snapdragon 660 processor (or Snapdragon 630) and a reasonable battery life, ZenFone 4 is the best Asus phone to date and will be able to satisfy 99% of user needs. Its 5.5-inch screen will appeal to those who do not like the now popular "shovels." And, unlike the U11 EYEs, the case is not slippery.

Pros:

There is a quick charge function.
There is a USB Type-C connector.
There is a slot for expanding memory.
There is an NFC chip.
Very good, clear and rich sound from the speakers.

The soiled and fragile rear case is the reckoning for its glass beauty.

7. LG Q6

The average price is 16,990 rubles.

Specifications:

Android 7.1 OS
dual SIM operation
5.5 ″ screen, resolution 2160 × 1080
13 MP camera, autofocus
32 GB memory, memory card slot
3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
3 GB RAM
3000 mAh battery
weight of 149 g, WxHxT 69.30 × 142.50 × 8.10 mm

This 5.5-inch model does not claim to be the flagship performance, but is an excellent choice when considering the ratio of cost and quality.

For the sake of economy, the glass back panel present in LG's premium smartphones in the Q6 has been replaced with plastic. The metal frame is still present and felt when you hold the phone.

The aspect ratio of the screen is the most modern - 18: 9, and you can not complain about the screen itself, it is bright, with excellent contrast and color reproduction. It occupies 78.6% of the front surface of the smartphone, which can be written only in plus models.

The Snapdragon 435 processor is responsible for the speed - not the top-end, but quite productive, and allowing you to play even "heavy" games.

Built-in memory on board the device, by modern standards, a bit - 32 GB. However, it can be expanded up to 2 TB by installing a memory card. RAM - 3 GB.

Pros:

There is support for NFC.
The main 13 MP camera with a large number of modes makes bright, detailed pictures in normal lighting, and the front 5 MP camera has a wide-angle lens.

Minuses:

No USB Type-C connector.

4 GB RAM
3300 mAh battery
weight of 163 g, WxHxT 71.90 × 148.90 × 7.90 mm

One of the best phones in 2018, up to 25,000 rubles, was supposed to be a big comeback for LG flagship smartphones. But, despite the fact that this is a good device, it can do little to compete with.

Instead of the standard 16: 9 aspect ratio seen on most smartphones, LG opted for an 18: 9 aspect ratio for the 5.7-inch G6 display. But this solution also has a negative side - for example, YouTube videos, which are almost everywhere with a 16: 9 aspect ratio, have black bars on both sides.

The G6 comes with a slightly outdated Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chipset, and not with the latest version 835. However, the Snapdragon 821 features are enough for most applications and games that you try to “download” your smartphone. The amount of flash memory and RAM is 64 GB and 4 GB, respectively.

A 3300 mAh battery provides a day and a half of continuous operation under intense load.

Dual 13/13 MP main camera has optical stabilization, one lens with f / 1.8 aperture and wide-angle f / 2.4 lens. Pictures are sharp, with excellent color reproduction and contrast. However, they often lack depth.

Pros:

Very fast and sensitive fingerprint scanner.
There is a quick charge.
There is a USB Type-C.

Minuses:

Weak 5 MP front camera. On a bright day, the image quality is normal, with a lack of lighting - mediocre.
The rear glass panel is fragile and scratches quickly appear on it.

5. Xiaomi Mi6

The cost, on average, is 24,290 rubles.

Specifications:

6 GB RAM
3350 mAh battery
weight of 168 g, WxHxT 70.50 × 145.20 × 7.50 mm

Opens the first five smartphones rating up to 25,000 rubles in 2018, a product from the famous Chinese brand Xiaomi. It is available immediately in three versions: with 4 and 64 GB of memory, with 6 and 64 GB of memory and with 6 and 128 GB of memory.

Thanks to its small size, a 5.15-inch smartphone fits comfortably even in a small palm.

Xiaomi Mi 6 was one of the first phones on which Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor was installed. Given the high performance, it is not surprising that the Xiaomi Mi 6 works fantastically well. The phone does not slow down or lag even with a large number of running applications, and the Adreno 540 graphics processor easily processes the latest Android games.

Dual cameras on phones are not new, but smartphone makers have no consensus on how to use the secondary sensor. In the dual 12/12 MP main camera of Xiaomi Mi 6, the presence of a second sensor allows you to zoom in on the photo, theoretically, without loss of quality. However, the zoom function works well under normal lighting conditions.

Pros:

Excellent display, contrast and brightness.
Very fast fingerprint sensor.
There is a quick charge.
There is a USB Type-C connector.
There is an NFC.
The 3350 mAh battery provides operation under average load for 1.5-2 days.

It has a 5.5-inch screen with an IPS matrix, a Snapdragon 660 processor, 4 or 6 GB RAM, 64 or 128 GB internal storage depending on the configuration, a dual camera (12MP + 12MP) and an 3,500 mAh battery - an incredible amount of technological solutions for a smartphone that sells for 20 thousand rubles.

This is the best choice of a smartphone up to 25,000 rubles in 2018, if the first item when buying a mobile phone in your list is a “reasonable price”. This quality-assembled 5-inch device will also be liked by those who are tired of the abundance of phablets and are looking for a small, conveniently lying device in their hand.

The “filling” of Huawei Nova 2 is not top-notch, but good enough to satisfy the needs of most users. The amount of RAM and ROM is 4 and 64 GB, respectively. The HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor belongs to the middle price range, and the Mali-T830 MP2 is responsible for video processing.

The dual main camera (12/8 MP) of the device has an optical double zoom and allows you to blur the background behind the subject. Under normal lighting conditions, the camera shoots excellently, with natural color reproduction and excellent detail. The quality of shooting at night worsens, and a noticeably small “soap” is noticeable.

Pros:

There is a slot for expanding memory.
There is a quick charge.
There is a USB Type-C connector.

Minuses:

Heats up in games and when working in "heavy" applications.
No NFC.

weight of 181 g, WxHxT 74.80 × 152.50 × 8 mm

This 5.5-inch smartphone from the famous manufacturer will not offer you the flagship capabilities that are available in the latest Samsung devices. But it has all the features that can be useful in everyday life, from the availability of NFC to the ability to expand flash memory from 16 GB to 256 GB to fit all the necessary data.

The proprietary Exynos 7870 chip is based on the 14 nm process technology and is comparable in capabilities with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 state employee. Keep in mind that games and programs with advanced graphics will slow down at medium and high settings.

The camera of the gadget 13 MP, has autofocus, but does not have optical stabilization. In bright lighting, there are no complaints about the quality of the images. However, at night, photos come out of mediocre quality, although this is a disaster for most inexpensive smartphones.

Pros:

Large battery capacity - 3600 mAh. The phone holds a charge of 3-4 days with a load of medium intensity.
Solid and beautiful design.
Well optimized shell.
Excellent speaker and sound quality.

Minuses:

No quick charge.
Without root access, it is impossible to remove some pre-installed programs.
The obsolete type of charging connector is micro-USB.

1. Honor 9

3200 mAh battery
weight 155 g, WxHxT 70.90 × 147.30 × 7.45 mm

This is the best smartphone up to 25,000 rubles in 2018. The option with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM will cost even less - 18 thousand rubles. And for 24 thousand rubles you will get an excellent device with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM.

One of the many positive things about the 5.15-inch Honor 9 is how easy it is to hold it in your hand. Thank you for this small size.

The HiSilicon 960 processor will cope with the latest games and many simultaneously running applications. It has four Cortex-A73 cores and four Cortex-A53 cores, while cheaper phones will use all eight Cortex-A53 cores. The A73 cores are higher in the league compared to the A53 and are characterized by high performance.

And the 3200 mAh battery will provide you with an uninterrupted game, watching videos or surfing the Internet for at least a day.

The Honor 9 Dual Rear Camera (20/12 MP) offers natural color reproduction and high image detail. However, in poor lighting conditions, image quality deteriorates, largely because the smartphone does not have optical image stabilization and has a slow lens with an f / 2.2 aperture. But the camera has many modes that allow you to work more creatively with photos.

The smartphone is equipped with an infrared port. And the pre-installed application allows you to program Honor 9 so that it takes on the role of several remotes at once.

Holders of small palms and big queries regarding the performance of smartphones can use Honor 9, Huawei Nova 2 and Xiaomi Mi6.

The “golden mean” in display size, speed and a good main camera can be offered by Xiaomi Mi Note 3, LG Q6, ASUS ZenFone 4 ZE554KL and Samsung Galaxy J7.
