Hello Zen!

The recent rapid increase in technology prices in Russia also affected the smartphone market - some of the already sold devices added about 20% in price (iPhone 13 this is confirmed), and Xiaomi 12x, affordable at the same AliExpress price of 33000-35000 rubles. Officially brought to the country at a price of 80,000 rubles. (not a lush increase of 150%).

Although now the prices have been a little stabilized, many have questions "Can I even buy a smartphone now?", "Is there any, what to choose from?" Despite the reduction in the supply of mobile devices to the country, there is a choice on the market. I decided to check what is available to people in the country's stores from different price categories at the moment.

Ultra -budget smartphones - as an option

It is now not difficult to choose undemanding users to choose a smartphone: the Russian market has BQ, DEXP and Itel devices, offering the most modest capabilities (from 1 GB of RAM, a 1500 mAD battery, a 2 megapixel camera and 3G) for a low price that can start and start and from 2500 p.

But it is difficult to fully use such a smartphone, so it is worth considering the options more powerful - I will take into account smartphones in 4/64 GB variations and on a relatively good processor. Attention in retail can be paid to:

For the latter, I recently made a review - I can say that the option is solid, and there are even fashionable 90 Hz. There is life on ultra -budget smartphones, and very good, but good devices of this class themselves are not enough - the bulk either does not have a memory or works on frankly old processors.

We increase rates: budget smartphones

Budget up to 15000 p. It gives much more scope for imagination: here you can find a bunch of a normal camera, a capacious battery and a high resolution display. Not all manufacturers in this price category are able to 6/128 GB and even 4/128 GB in memory variation, so I do not mention the 4/64 GB options here. We are available:

Samsung solutions offer less memory and not the best platform, so they do not fit into the “larger” concept. Tecno Pova 2 with a huge battery and Redmi 10 stand out from the entire selection (simply because the brand is well -known). Neither Xiaomi nor Realme in the Russian retail do not really offer anything for that kind of money, although, it would seem, a similar environment is ideal for two brands.

The average budget in all its glory

20 thousand rubles for many - a psychological ceiling, from above which people do not see a reasonable smartphone. Everyone has their own opinion, but most importantly - the presence of a large choice. This price fits:

As you can see, mainly volumetric batteries with fast charging are represented in the niche, and only two smartphones from the entire list include AmoLED display. The best combination of characteristics/prices, in my opinion, has Tecno Camon 18, Poco M4 Pro and Infinix Note 10 Pro. And in general, the selection is not bad - the great variability of brands and options.

Sub -Flagmans

I propose to consider all devices, the price of which reaches 40 tr. - Yes, this is rather big money, and for someone, such a price already means an advanced smartphone, but the concept of "flagship" with the development of the prices of mobile devices is already very vague. Due to such vague frames, the next category turned out to be large:

The list has even the cheapest of the iPhone to date! The golden middle is Xiaomi 11t on a powerful processor, and the title of "best camera" is divided among themselves Realme 9 Pro Plus and Huawei Nova 9 (an iPhone with an old sensor is also very good).

Flagmans

Devices for 40 and, say, 100 thousand rubles can simultaneously be flagships and completely different smartphones. Why is this happening? Everything is simple: for some, the processor is the basis of the foundations, others prefer a good camera, the third is important to the presence of wireless charging and an excellent display ... You can now name almost any smartphone on the advanced processor, but a good camera or fast charging rarely gives them. . That is why I "divided" one category into two separate ones. The first is smartphones, ready to offer the flagship and subflagmansk platforms with "pleasant additions":

The second category is unconditional flagships:

I did not add to the last list smartphones with prefixes "PO", "Ultra", etc. - Their price, to put it mildly, bites. The price of all the above flagships (and recently they have risen significantly), but we would be completely confused with the "pro-itras". And the high price is no longer surprising - what can I say when the smartphone from Motorola costs at 90 thousand (!) Rules.

I think we now have an approximate understanding of prices within the country - smartphones are still on sale, and even in large quantities, but the cost of many of the models is growing noticeably, especially flagship devices - prices for iPhone 13 and “everything that is connected with it "They flew into space, like the price, for example, Huawei P50 Pro.

AliExpress - for the people!

Now let's turn to Aliexpress and see what can be ordered with delivery for the same money. Up to 15000 p. You can afford Redmi Note 11 (the official price in Russia - from 25000 rubles), Xiaomi 11t can be bought for ~ 26000 p., Poco M4 Pro 5G - for 14000 rubles, Poco F3 - for 23000 rubles, Realme 8i - for 14500 p., Realme 9 Pro Plus - for 21600 p., Realme GT Master - for 22500 r ... You can continue for a long time and tedious - I think you understand the approximate benefit.

But, most interestingly, you can find smartphones on the site, which in retail sometimes “you won’t find a day with fire” - Realme GT 2 Pro, albeit expensive, but there is sold, like Realme GT Neo 3 with Poco F4 GT, and About Xiaomi 12X within 35000 p. I told you at the beginning of the article. If you look for well, you can stumble on offers are much more profitable than in retail stores.
