Today, smartphones are cultivated and many users do not part with them even for a minute, constantly sitting on social networks, taking pictures or playing.

Consider the TOP 10 best phones worth up to 4000 rubles.

How was the rating compiled?

The smartphone market up to 4,000 rubles today is quite extensive in terms of the number of brands. Almost all of the major companies that produce low-cost touchscreen smartphones and phones come from China. Of the large number of Chinese brands, the most popular are Bluboo, Leagoo, Ulefone, Alcatel. These manufacturers for 4,000 rubles do not offer a simple “dialer” with a touch screen, but a fully-fledged smartphone, sometimes even with a dual main camera and a frameless display.

Due to jumps in the exchange rate, the price of smartphones may change. Keep that in mind.

• relevance of software;

Fly Nimbus 9 (FS509)

For many years of presence on the Russian market, Fly has become one of the best low-cost smartphones. One of these products is the Fly FS509 Nimbus 9 smartphone, released back in 2015 and featuring an impressive price of 3900 rubles.

For this money, a potential buyer will receive:

• MediaTek MT6580 processor with 4 cores, each frequency 1.33 GHz;
• 8GB ROM;
• 1 GB of RAM;
• 1900 mAh battery;
• rear camera with 5 Mpx module;
• TN screen at 5 inches, 854x480 pixels.

In 2018, these characteristics seem to be irrelevant, but at the beginning of the year this smartphone was sold out at a high speed in many equipment stores due to a rather capacious battery that allows you to use the smartphone without recharging for three days in an average load mode. Also a big plus of the FS509 Nimbus 9 is the loud main speaker and good reception of the communication signal.

Alcatel U5 3G 4047D

Alcatel produces quite a few controversial smartphones both in technical specifications and in the overblown lineup, where each of the following smartphones is practically no different from the previous one, however, the U5 3G 4047D model is completely different. The smartphone has replaced the line of Pixi.

Alcatel U5 3G 4047D got a pretty nice design of the back cover - high-quality plastic with small notches that prevent the device from slipping out of hands. The smartphone is focused on undemanding youth. The main advantage of the phone is a 5-inch IPS display, but with a resolution of 854 by 480 pixels. It has very good viewing angles and remains readable even when exposed to direct sunlight. The 4047D main camera is equipped with a flash, face detection and enhancement functions, a QR code scanner, and 720p video recording up to 30 frames per second. Also advantages are:

• 8 GB of internal memory + Micro SD support up to 32 GB;

TP-LINK Neffos Y5L

It is still very unusual to meet phones from TP-LINK, the giant in the production of routers, but the manufacturer’s smartphones are increasingly becoming regulars in the rating of the best in the budget class and TP-LINK Neffos Y5L is proof of this.

• 8 GB - read-only memory + expansion support using a memory card;
• Battery 2020 mAh;

The phone’s advantages are excellent assembly - the device does not creak and does not fall apart, the communication quality is also high, the speaker is loud, there is a stable Snapdragon 210 processor that does not allow you to play demanding games, but it is able to cope very well with daily tasks - calls messengers and so on. Along with this, the display quality is pretty poor, which is worth considering when buying.

Price - 2990 rubles.

Alcatel Pixi 4 (5) 5045D

However, the Pixi 4 features a slower processor at 1.3 GHz versus 1.1 GHz in the 5045D, which affects the speed and availability of support for the fourth-generation network.

Pixie also has a slightly different design - it is less budgetary due to the rounded back cover made of solid smooth plastic "a la" soft-touch, as in the 2007 HTC Touch.

Alcatel should be purchased at least because they have good regional product support, providing warranty and post-warranty repairs. Also, the company's smartphones are one of the few in the ultra-budget class, which are updated by air for at least another year after purchase.
