And in pursuit of customers, the largest players in the mobile market produce high-quality smartphones that are beautifully assembled and look good at affordable prices.
It is these that we selected for the top 10 best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in 2019.

A strong metal case, the presence of an NFC module, a large screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 - what else is needed to use a smartphone for pleasure?
Add to this a good battery that allows you to not charge the phone for a day and a half, a good main camera with quick focus and detailed, vivid shots and get the Nokia 3.1 Plus.
The Mediatek Helio P22 chipset selected for the smartphone is a popular and fairly productive solution. It allows you to quickly and smoothly switch between several running applications. However, “heavy” games can only be played at low settings.
pros: there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, there is a fingerprint scanner.
Minuses: the sound is not very loud, the proximity sensor does not always work correctly, which is why the screen turns on during a conversation and you can accidentally click on it.
9. Highscreen Power Five Max 2
The average price is 9,990 rubles.
Specifications:
- smartphone with Android 8.1

- 5.99 ″ screen, resolution 2160 × 1080

Usually, a smartphone with a large battery and a good camera is searched in the price range from 20 thousand rubles and higher. It's good that Power Five Max 2 is an exception.
This stylish device has a powerful 5000 mAh battery, which is enough for 8 hours of continuous video viewing. And a rear dual camera with several shooting modes, including panoramic, standard, and bokeh. When recording video, you can activate electronic stabilization. At night, digital noise appears on the image, but this is unavoidable for low-cost smartphones.
The Helio P23 processor installed in this model is efficient enough to easily pull demanding applications. However, it is unlikely to play new games at maximum settings.
Another nice point: the back cover is rough to the touch, and the device will not pop out of your hands like soapy. A trifle, but nice.
pros: the kit includes a protective glass and a silicone case, there is quick charge, a 3.5 mm audio jack, a fingerprint scanner, you can make contactless payments, wireless charging is supported.

The Chinese company Honor is well known for offering decent smartphones at a price that won't make you “pay and cry.” And the new Honor 8A model continues this tradition.
It is equipped with a 6.09-inch HD + display with a teardrop-shaped design (with a cut-out a la “dew drop” in which the front camera is located). The screen to body ratio is 87%
As for cameras, on the back of the device there is a 13-megapixel camera with f / 1.8 aperture, and in front - an 8-megapixel camera, equipped with an advanced algorithm for portrait shots and AI, which improves the quality of selfies.
Inside the Honor 8A is a MediaTek Helio P35 processor with a high clock frequency of 2.3 GHz. It is more productive than its closest competitors - Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 and 625, but not so much that you can play demanding hardware games without slowing down your smartphone.
pros: you can make contactless payments, there is a fingerprint scanner, there is a 3.5 mm audio jack.
Minuses: micro-USB.

And, of course, he added in price, because you need to pay for improvements.
The changes affected the main camera, which, although it remained double, but its resolution has changed. If Max (M1) had a 13 MP / 8 MP camera, then the second model had 13 MP / 2 MP. However, do not worry, the pictures are obtained in high quality, both indoors and outdoors. Moreover, a portrait mode with bokeh effect is available.
Note that the Zenfone Max (M2) ZB633KL is one of the few budget smartphones with fast charging.
pros: capacious battery, there is a fingerprint scanner.

6. ZTE Blade V9 Vita

In the ranking of smartphones up to 10,000 rubles in 2019, there are models with a dual camera. There are devices with 3 GB of RAM and a slot for a memory card. However, only four models have an NFC module, one of which is the Blade V9 Vita.
The screen of this smartphone with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 has narrow frames and is devoid of a "bang", which only annoys many users. There is enough RAM and a Snapdragon 435 processor so that the Blade V9 Vita does not slow down with several open applications. However, do not expect him to play modern games at medium or even higher settings.
The main dual camera has fast autofocus and takes detailed pictures with good color reproduction, if lighting allows.
The battery with medium loads will last without recharging all day. And this is normal for a phone in this price category.
pros: there is a fingerprint scanner, 3.5 mm audio jack, face recognition.
Minuses: micro-USB, automatic brightness control sometimes works too abruptly, which results in a blinking effect.
5. Xiaomi Redmi 6
The average price is 8 199 rubles.
Specifications:
- smartphone with Android 8.1

If you don’t know which smartphone up to 10,000 rubles is better to take for comfortable working with applications and good shots - take Redmi 6, you won’t be mistaken.
This device has everything that is required from a “mobile horse”. And a bright, contrasting screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, and a fast fingerprint scanner, and a fairly quick Mediatek Helio P22 processor, and a good amount of RAM for a budget employee.
And do not forget about the dual main camera, which shoots video in good quality even in the dark. However, photographs still lack detail, and by default they turn out to be too contrasting. But this can be forgiven, given that Redmi 6 was not conceived as a camera phone.
Pros: there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, there is an LED event indicator.
Cons: easily soiled case, outdated micro-USB.
4. Samsung Galaxy A10
The average price is 8,990 rubles.
Specifications:

Samsung is constantly filling the market with Galaxy A Series devices, which range from cheap phones to mid-range devices. And the Galaxy A10 is the golden mean
Its 6.2-inch TFT IPS display has a modern 19: 9 aspect ratio, which makes the phone visually superior. At the same time, the screen to body ratio is 81.6%, which is slightly less than the best frameless smartphones of 2019.
The device is equipped with Exynos 7884 chipset - a good budget option. Add to this 2 GB of RAM, and you get the perfect recipe for an entry-level smartphone.
Galaxy A10 is equipped with a single rear camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels and a 5-megapixel camera on the front panel. Since there is no auxiliary lens for measuring depth at the back, you will not be able to shoot portraits with blurry backgrounds on this smartphone. However, you can take high-quality pictures in good light. In night shots, you can see increased contrast in automatic mode.
pros: there is an unlock on the face, there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, fits perfectly in the hand thanks to the successful design.
Minuses: a quiet speaker, no fingerprint scanner, the case quickly becomes dirty due to its glossy surface, so you should not use the phone without a protective cover.
3. Xiaomi Redmi 6A
The average price is 5 692 rubles.
Specifications:
- Android smartphone
- dual SIM support
- 5.45 ″ screen, resolution 1440 × 720

If we take the ratio of price and quality, then the Xiaomi company is the undisputed leader in the top budget smartphones of 2019 up to 10,000 rubles. And one of Xiaomi's best creations is Redmi 6A. This is a nice looking, small smartphone with a bright screen, reading mode and color reproduction. There is also an oleophobic coating.
The “stuffing” of Redmi 6A is not very impressive, considering the budget chipset MediaTek Helio A22 and the small amount of RAM. However, the games of the past years will go at medium settings, and modern games at the minimum.
Photos and videos shot with the main or front camera (with beauty mode) in the daytime look good. But with artificial or poor lighting, the quality, at best, will be three out of five points.
Batteries are easily enough for a whole day of use, even if you watch a video for 4-5 hours in a row or play simple games.
pros: there is a 3.5 mm audio jack,
Minuses: micro-USB, no fingerprint scanner, quiet sound.
2. HUAWEI Y6 (2019)

Many of the best smartphones up to 10,000 rubles look attractive, and more. But to equip the model with a “back” stylized under the skin is something new. It is this option in amber-brown color that the 2019 HUAWEI Y6 has.
The back cover is actually plastic, but textured, and visually completely reminds the skin. Models in other colors have a plastic back panel that simulates glass.
The screen of the new product is bright, although not very sharp. It is comfortable to read from it on a sunny day, and due to the growing aspect ratio of 19.5: 9, the smartphone looks longer than it actually is.
As for the "stuffing", the Y6 is equipped with a MediaTek Helio A22 processor and a PowerVR GE8300 GPU.
The back of the phone is quite simple: there is a 13-megapixel camera hidden in the upper left part. It has an f / 1.8 aperture and very simple, intuitive shooting modes.
On the front panel is an 8-megapixel selfie camera with f / 2.0 aperture. Lovers of uploading photos to social networks will surely like it, as they take good pictures even under artificial lighting.
pros: there is a fingerprint scanner, a protective film is included, there is a 3.5 mm jack.
Minuses: micro-USB connector, jams can occur in demanding applications.

The Redmi series has been a trendsetter in many ways and has changed public opinion not only about Xiaomi, but also about Chinese smartphones in general. And the best smartphone up to 10,000 rubles in 2019 - Redmi 7 - continues in the same spirit, but overcomes some of the limitations of the series, such as design and camera.
Redmi 7 belongs to the new generation of phones with a large screen, which is brighter and more contrast than Redmi 6. So, the maximum brightness of the “seven” is 429 cd / m2, and the “six” - 378 cd / m2.
Inside is the Snapdragon 632 chipset with the Adreno 506 GPU. Redmi 7 surpasses both its predecessor and many competitors, such as the Honor 8C and Nokia 6.1 in performance.
Improvements in terms of sharpness, detail and aperture are observed in an 8 MP selfie camera. As for the main camera, it does not shoot very clearly, but with good color reproduction. And thanks to the HDR effect, you will have a chance to turn a “bad” photo into a “good” one.
pros: there is a fingerprint scanner, a capacious battery, a 3.5 mm audio jack.
