Smartphone with nfc and a capacious battery. Top budget smartphones with NFC

Despite the fact that Near Field Communication technology has been around for almost 15 years, until recently it was not widely used in mobile devices. However, in recent years, everything has changed significantly, so the presence of the corresponding module in the phone is considered not just a pleasant bonus, but a necessity. The following rating of smartphones with an NFC module will help you choose the perfect device for your individual requirements without spending extra money on purchasing it.

What is NFC in a smartphone

NFC is a technology for contactless data exchange between devices located at a short distance. As a rule, the range in this case is only a few centimeters. The presence of the module in the smartphone significantly expands its capabilities. For example, information can be transmitted in this way, as well as written into programmable labels. If we talk about why NFC is needed in a smartphone for an ordinary user, then first of all we should mention contactless payment for purchases. You do not need to constantly carry cash and bank cards with you, as well as remember passwords from the latter at the checkout.

The best inexpensive smartphones with NFC module

Alas, it is almost impossible to find budget smartphones with NFC. Existing models are already closer to the middle price category. The reason for this lies in the banal segmentation of the market by manufacturers, because if NFC were available in the cheapest devices, this would significantly reduce the popularity of more expensive models. However, several smartphones with quite attractive price tags can be found on sale. We present to your attention the top three most interesting low-cost smartphones equipped with a wireless data transmission module.

1. Huawei P Smart 32GB

The top-notch Huawei phone with NFC opens the ranking. The P Smart model is based on Android 8 Oreo and has an excellent 5.62-inch screen with a good resolution (2160×1080). The performance of the proprietary Kirin 659 processor and the Mali-T830 graphics in most cases is enough for modern games, but sometimes some delays can still occur, which is associated with a not the most powerful video chip. The main P Smart camera is represented by two modules of 13 and 2 MP, and the need to install a second sensor is extremely doubtful.

Advantages:

• attractive design and assembly without a single flaw;
• the screen installed in the device is well read in the sun;
• for most tasks, performance is more than enough;
• fast working fingerprint scanner and a complete protective film;
• good combination of price and features.

Disadvantages:

• image quality in low light;
• Emotion UI is not for everyone.

2. Alcatel A7 5090Y

There are very few smartphones under 10,000 rubles that support NFC on the market. From this, Alcatel A7 is an even more interesting option for purchase. The device is equipped with a screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and Full HD resolution. As a hardware platform, the manufacturer chose the MediaTek processor and Mali graphics, so the Alcatel A7 buyer should not count on gaming capabilities. But for a capacious 4000 mAh battery and support for fast charging, the manufacturer is worth thanking.

Advantages:

• even with increased load, you can expect 2 days of battery life;
• if you don’t take pictures often, then there are no complaints about the cameras;
• color rendering and screen brightness are at a high level;
• system performance in everyday tasks.

Disadvantages:

• insignificant for the price.

3. Motorola Moto G5s 3/32GB

Closes the top three budget devices is one of the cheapest smartphones with NFC support from Motorola. On sale smartphone Moto G5s can be found for about 12 thousand rubles. At this price, the manufacturer offers a 3000 mAh battery, a fast charging function, productive hardware, and a good 16 MP rear camera. The screen diagonal in the smartphone is 5.2 inches, which users consider the optimal size for comfortable use.

Advantages:

• the shell and all applications work smartly;
• perfectly selected display size;
• high-quality assembly and recognizable style;
• capacious battery with support for fast charging;
• fast working fingerprint sensor;
• well recognizable design.

Disadvantages:

• protruding camera block - an "amateur" solution;
• no alert LED.

The best smartphones with NFC under 20,000 rubles

In the category up to 20 thousand rubles, a huge number of mobile phones with an NFC module are presented. However, some of them have very mediocre characteristics, while others allow you to use Near Field Communication only with your own contactless payment system. The latter is relevant, for example, for Meizu. In its arsenal there are only a few models with this technology, but all of them can be used to pay for purchases at terminals only in China. We have selected three smartphones that will suit residents of any country that already has support for the Google Pay system.

1.Honor 9 Lite 32GB

The smartphone category opens with powerful hardware, dual rear and front cameras, as well as a stylish full-screen design and a good case included. Considering such characteristics and a price tag in the region of 15 thousand rubles, it is safe to say that the NFC present in this phone and the fingerprint scanner are a nice addition. The device runs on Android 8 Oreo, and a 3000 mAh battery is responsible for its autonomy.

Advantages:

• due to excellent optimization, the phone pleases with decent autonomy;
• excellent cameras;
• easy;
• proprietary shell EMUI works extremely fast;
• the appearance of the device significantly exceeds its cost;
• a smartphone is enough for most modern applications.

Disadvantages:

• branded back cover, but you can fix it with a complete case;
• poor gaming performance.

2. Xiaomi Mi Note 3 64GB

Next in line is a Xiaomi smartphone with NFS. The Mi Note 3 model stands out for its flagship design, which the manufacturer used to create the Mi 6. From the top model, the device also adopted the main camera with f/1.8 aperture, optical stabilization and a pair of 12 MP modules. The quality of shooting from a smartphone is simply wonderful, which many do not even expect from a Chinese device. A clear picture even in low light, the correct blurring of the background in photos with the “bokeh” effect, as well as excellent detail in daytime shots - all this will provide you with the Xiaomi Mi Note 3 smartphone. It is also worth adding the productive hardware provided by the Snapdragon processor 660, Adreno 512 graphics and 6 GB of RAM, an infrared port and a capacious battery with support for fast charging.

Advantages:

• convenient MIUI shell and regular updates;
• the presence of IRDA to control home appliances;
• good main camera with two 12 MP sensors;
• high performance and system speed;
• flagship design and expensive body materials.

Disadvantages:

• quickly gets dirty and can easily slip out of hands;
• no microSD slot.

3. LG Q6 M700AN

Of the two competing mid-range South Korean brands, LG has caught our attention the most. The Q6 smartphone model can be called an ideal choice for its price. In fact, the device lacks only a fingerprint scanner, the absence of which in a mobile phone for 16 thousand may already surprise. However, this smartphone with a powerful battery and NFC support allows you to use face unlock. For users who do not want to constantly enter a password, this will be enough. The screen in the smartphone is 5.5-inch, its aspect ratio is 16:9, and the resolution is Full HD. Among the advantages of the mobile phone, one can single out support for memory cards with a capacity of up to 2 TB, as well as a good widescreen front camera with an angle of 100 degrees.

Advantages:

• holds a charge for a very long time and recharges quickly;
• attractive appearance and nimble operation of the system;
• high-quality screen with a modern aspect ratio;
• excellent assembly and good cameras for their price;
• you can put two SIM cards and a microSD drive at the same time;
• very fast GPS.

Disadvantages:

• there is no fingerprint sensor;
• The back cover is easily soiled, slippery and easily scratched.

The best flagship smartphones with the NFS module

The last category of our ranking contains the best of the best. It is these smartphones that almost every modern user who understands modern technologies wants to own. We have selected devices from Apple, Google and Samsung for you, because most of the innovative devices and advanced software are created by this trinity.

Important! Buying a phone with NFC manufactured by Apple for contactless payment for purchases is only advisable if you live in Russia. In other countries of the former USSR, the service can only function when using a Russian bank card (or a card from another country where Apple Pay is supported).

1. Apple iPhone 8 64GB

For more than 10 years, Apple has set the standard for the mobile device market. The products of the famous American brand are distinguished by their beautiful design, excellent assembly and impressive features. The iPhone 8 is no exception, boasting a first-class main camera, IP67-rated housing, and, for the first time in Apple history, support for fast and wireless charging. In addition, the smartphone, like all the company's latest mobile phones, can work with augmented reality without the auxiliary sensors that Google promoted.

Advantages:

• excellent headphones are supplied with the smartphone;
• the device is protected from water, splashes and dust;
• several days of confident autonomy even with increased load;
• in terms of shooting photos and videos, the device is almost unrivaled;
• excellent sound in headphones;
• highest performance.

Disadvantages:

• it is impossible to use fast charging with a complete unit.

2. Samsung Galaxy S8

The Galaxy S8 is an excellent smartphone with an NFC chip, a large 5.8-inch screen and an excellent 12 MP camera. The device pleases with high power, which is enough for all modern games and simultaneous work with several "heavy" applications. Of the minuses of the monitored smartphone, one can single out an unsuccessfully chosen place for installing a fingerprint scanner. Of course, as an alternative, the user can use face or iris unlock, but these methods do not always please with excellent work, and in the dark their effectiveness is reduced. But in terms of equipment, there are absolutely no complaints. In addition to the power supply and Type-C cable in the box, the user will find high-quality AKG headphones and a pair of USB and Micro USB adapters.

Advantages:

• rich delivery set;
• high-quality sound and excellent display;
• excellent performance in games;
• support for fast and wireless charging;
• You can take great pictures with the main camera.

Disadvantages:

• the Bixby button is not customizable or disabled;
• the body is better to wear in a case due to slipperiness;
• inconvenient to reach the fingerprint scanner.

3. Google Pixel 2 64GB

Last year, Google introduced two new smartphones. And if the Pixel 2 XL model has earned itself a bad reputation due to the numerous problems found by users during operation, then with the regular Pixel 2, things are quite the opposite. This device turned out to be very reliable, stylish and functional. The smartphone has a 5-inch screen made using AMOLED technology, as well as a 12.2-megapixel main camera with f / 1.8 aperture, optical stabilization and laser autofocus. The battery here is only 2700 mAh, but due to the reference optimization, the smartphone works for a very long time.

Advantages:

• the screen is well calibrated, the optimal diagonal size;
• competent optimization of the system provides excellent autonomy;
• Snapdragon 835 performance and Adreno 540 graphics are enough for any task;
• The main camera of the smartphone shoots just amazing in any light.

Disadvantages:

• missing the 3.5mm jack that Google was so proud of in the first Pixels;
• the frames around the screen are still too big for a flagship device.

As you can understand, when choosing a good smartphone with NFC module support, you do not need to rely on any special criteria. The only nuance that you need to pay attention to is the geography of the electronic payment system you are interested in, since now both Google Pay and Android Pay are represented only in a limited number of countries. For the rest, as a standard, select the appropriate device according to its characteristics, such as camera, processor and screen.

Expensive smartphones

There are NFC modules in almost every modern phone from the upper price category (50 thousand rubles and above).

Their presence does not greatly affect the cost, but is a good addition to the capabilities of these mobile gadgets.

Samsung Galaxy S9

One of the new models of the Korean brand Samsung is considered the best model not only among mobile devices equipped with an NFC chip, but also among all smartphones of the beginning of 2018.

Only lovers of the Apple brand will disagree with this opinion, while other buyers are attracted to one of the most powerful processors, a dual main camera, and a display whose resolution exceeds the 2K format.

The NFC-chip of the device works with cards of almost all domestic banks.

• combination of compact size smartphone with a large screen;
• high-performance Exynos 9810 processor and RAM, which is more than enough to run modern games;
• the presence of stereo speakers;
• good protection against water and dust;
• high quality pictures.

Victor M.: Excellent model, works fast, runs games at maximum settings and FullHD movies. The sound is good and loud, the battery lasts more than 2 days of normal use with the Internet on and listening to music. I would like to note a good set of standard themes. And I almost didn’t notice any shortcomings - I didn’t like the only thing that was too slippery.

Huawei P20 Pro

The Huawei brand phone is notable for its high cost, but it received an even larger built-in storage.

128 GB of ROM is enough to store thousands of photos and music, enough for several dozen films in the supported UltraHD format.

In appearance, the device looks a bit like the latest version of the iPhone, and even surpasses it in terms of characteristics - for example, in size, battery life, shooting parameters and screen diagonal.

• high-quality assembly and stylish design;
• great battery life - almost 1.5 times longer than the average flagship;
• high-quality and loud speakers (main and spoken);
• a large amount of RAM and ROM.

• high cost, usually characteristic of Samsung and Apple models - buyers of Huawei phones are not used to this price category.
• when shooting at night, photos are blurry more often than other models.

Alexey M.: I bought P20 instead of Galaxy C8, I don't regret it yet, although I've been using it for about a month. My opinion - Samsung is not even close to the new Huawei. The charge lasts a long time, the camera takes high-quality photos, there is practically no noise, the slow motion is gorgeous, and the design is generally excellent. It is, of course, a little expensive - but it fully deserves its price.

Apple iPhone X

The iPhone X was not immediately liked by users due to minor software flaws and a rather high price, but its characteristics are still impressive.

These include a large screen with a resolution of 2436x1125. dual camera and good quality of the resulting photos, both ordinary and selfies.

The smartphone supports NFC based on the proprietary service of its manufacturer -.

• large size, brightness, clarity and viewing angles of the screen;
• protection according to the IP67 standard, thanks to which you can get caught in the rain with your smartphone;
• improved mode for shooting portraits;
• face recognition system;
• loud and powerful sound - both in the speakers and in the headphones.

• relatively short battery life, lack of a standard headphone jack and fast charging adapter included.
• the downside is the high cost of the smartphone - even the price of the minimum configuration is higher compared to other models.

Alina K.: I have been using Apple smartphones for many years now - when version X was released, I decided to buy it, replacing the 6th iPhone. At the very beginning, I had some doubts, but over time, all the flaws and buggies of the software were fixed. After the purchase, I used Face ID - it works very well. The cameras are cool - both the main one and the front one. A little unusual without the Home button, but I'm already used to it.

Average price category

You can become the owner of a smartphone with NFC by spending 2-3 times less compared to buying expensive flagships.

To do this, you should choose models costing between 12-20 thousand rubles, which can be found in the model range of most Chinese manufacturers.

Xiaomi Mi Note 3

The low cost of a smartphone with 6 GB of RAM is one of the main reasons why users pay attention to it.

Despite not the most productive Snapdragon 660 processor, other characteristics of the device are also quite decent.

At least, there are no complaints from the owners about the quality of its shooting, autonomy, the operation of applications, the fingerprint sensor and NFC.

• high-quality assembly, bright and clear screen;
• long battery life;
• 6 GB of RAM, which is quite consistent with modern flagships;
• a decent main camera, with which you get good photos even in the evening;
• spectacular-looking case, which practically does not slip in the hand.

Nicholas S.: Among the advantages of the phone, I would like to note its fast charging, a good main camera, USB Type C connector, high speed. The model holds a charge for a long time - I freely use it all day, sometimes even two. I do not like the small thickness, I can not get used to it. And also the LED, which shows the missed events, is single-colored.

Nokia 6 (2018)

The model from the popular one is well suited for the role of the flagship - both due to good cameras, and thanks to the large (albeit far from the best for 2018) memory capacity.

The Snapdragon 630 CPU does not quite fit into the overall picture, but this disadvantage is partially offset by the affordable price.

The NFC-chip built into the model successfully copes with payment, replacing the cards of most Russian banks.

• Durable aluminum housing for longer life of the model
• fast response fingerprint sensor;
• decent smartphone design;
• lack of noise in the photographs, even when shooting under artificial lighting;
• affordable price.

Alexey N.: I bought it about a month ago, I have never regretted it. The fingerprint sensor responds the first time. Good stuffing - Snapdragon 430 with 8 cores, 64 gigabytes of memory and 4 GB of RAM - more than enough for any game and program. I think that will be enough for applications in the next couple of years. The downside of the phone is the non-removable battery, which makes it pointless to buy a second power supply to replace it. But you can buy a power bank to extend the operating time of the device.

Honor 9 Lite

Most of the parameters of the phone are slightly above average - Kirin 659 processor, 3 GB of "RAM" and dual camera 13 + 2 MP.

Much more impressive is the front device, which also received two lenses and, due to this, provides better image quality.

Important: When buying this smartphone, you should know that only the European version is equipped with an NFC chip. Versions for Asia do not have this feature, which can be an unpleasant surprise for the buyer of the "gray" (illegally imported into the country and usually does not have an official manufacturer's warranty) model.

• stylish appearance;
• large screen sizes, occupying more than 70% of the screen area;
• the presence of two dual cameras at once, providing good quality shooting;
• decent hardware for its price.

• the inability to run some modern games at maximum settings - therefore, it is advisable for gamers to choose other, more productive gadgets.
• in addition, the device did not receive a port, which is why the information transfer rate is less than that of many modern flagships.

Oleg S.: Due to frequent travel on business trips, I needed a smartphone with good functionality and a decent battery. Honor 9 Lite fully meets my requirements, and also takes good pictures with both cameras. Although photos at night are not very good. But during the day, the clarity is such that even individual letters of small text are visible.

Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017)

Another one with an NFC chip costs almost 4 times cheaper compared to the Galaxy 9, but still does not fall into the budget category.

Anton K.: A good smartphone, justifies its price and has almost no flaws. However, there is little memory, and in sweaty palms the gadget seems rather slippery. There are no complaints about the battery (10-12 hours when listening to music), and also about durability - after falling from a height of about a meter, there were no scratches left.

Nokia 5 (2018)

The Nokia 5 model is not yet available to domestic users, although the manufacturer announced it a few months ago.

Although some conclusions about the functionality of the smartphone can be drawn from its reviews.

Attention is drawn to such parameters as CPU power, good resolution of the main camera and memory performance, which has improved markedly compared to last year's modification.

• a decent Snapdragon 630 CPU;
• high-quality FullHD display;
• good autonomy for a model with such a price;
• a complete set of all modern functions - from NFC to a fingerprint scanner.

Anton E.: In the review of the phone, I liked the “naked” Android with the ability to upgrade to version 8, the powerful Snapdragon 630 processor with 8 cores, the presence of NFC and a fingerprint scanner. A good battery that lasts for 2 days of work. Cons I can find out only after the appearance of the model on sale.

It is impossible not to notice how quickly various services are spreading today, thanks to which payment using a mobile device is possible. So, in our country, the system was recently launched. To take advantage of its benefits, you need a device with NFC on board. But not everyone will buy an expensive smartphone just to use the Android Pay service. For such people, this selection has been prepared, consisting of five affordable phones, in the arsenal of which there is an NFC module.

1. Huawei Nova

This compact device has a stylish appearance thanks to the combination of glass and aluminum. In addition to the NFC function, the model offers a solid mid-range processor Snapdragon 625 Octa-Core with a frequency of 2 GHz, a high-quality Full HD IPS display, as well as 3 GB of RAM in conjunction with 32 GB of storage. Pleased with the presence of a new generation USB Type-C connector. The smartphone turned out to be very thin, the thickness does not exceed 7.1 mm, while the battery has a good capacity of 3020 mAh.

2. Samsung Galaxy A5 2017

The niche of mid-range devices has recently been replenished with a strong player from the Samsung brand. Fresh has in its arsenal everything that the user needs today. The smartphone, despite its affordability, is very comfortable to use. There is a solid 16 MP camera, an excellent 5.2-inch FHD SuperAMOLED screen, and a solid metal construction with a glass back. The advantage of the device is protection against moisture (IP68). There is support not only for the Android Pay mobile payment system, but also Samsung Pay. In terms of software, the “Korean” is based on Android 6.0, and in hardware, it is based on an 8-core Exynos 7880 chip with a Mali-T830 MP3 graphics core. The developers did not spare the memory either, the device flaunts 32 GB of ROM and 3 GB of RAM.

3. Wileyfox Swift 2X

This smartphone on today's list is the cheapest, but it doesn't look any worse than that. If you look closely, you will find that this model is a great solution for users who value Android in its classic form. The device, in addition to the NFC module, is equipped with a processor Snapdragon 430, a 5.2-inch Full HD display with an IPS matrix, a 3010 mAh battery, Quick Charge 3.0, which gives fast charging, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. Serious stuffing for an inexpensive device, agree. Also worth noting is the 16-megapixel camera and Cyanogen OS based on Android 6.0.

4. Xiaomi Mi5s

In terms of the balance of price and equipment, the model has no equal among all the smartphones presented in our selection. In the depths of this device, not any processor works, but a top Snapdragon 821, so performance is fine here. The metal case, a powerful 12-megapixel photomodule with dual flash, a large amount of RAM and ROM, as well as a compact 5.15-inch IPS screen cannot leave anyone indifferent, given the price tag of a Chinese device. A nice bonus is the presence of NFC. The user is greeted by a friendly MIUI 8 shell, which is based on Android 6.0. Xiaomi Mi5s is powered by a 3200 mAh battery. It can be charged quickly thanks to Quick Charge 3.0 technology.

5.Lenovo P2

An extremely curious gadget was recently rolled out by Lenovo, it combines a good technical component and excellent autonomy. Yes, the presence of an NFC sensor is a nice touch, but it's far from the most remarkable thing about the Lenovo P2 smartphone. Firstly, the model is equipped with a 5.5-inch Full HD-quality SuperAMOLED panel and a battery with an impressive capacity of 5100 mAh. Secondly, the buyer is attracted by the metal case, chipset Snapdragon 625, a very considerable memory and . Definitely one of the most attractive solutions at the moment.

Up to 10,000 rubles with NFC, readers asked to continue the topic and write about more expensive devices. Therefore, today we have a selection of models with NFC, but already in the range from 10,000 to 15,000 rubles.

With such a budget, the choice is already becoming noticeably wider, there are much more devices with interesting characteristics. However, neither Meizu nor Xiaomi are in the selection again - these manufacturers, popular in Russia, are in no hurry to add NFC to smartphones.

Alcatel A7 5090Y

A chubby plastic smartphone with a modest appearance and a capacious 4000 mAh battery offers a large screen, a fingerprint scanner and average performance. The design of Alcatel let us down, and a slot for a second SIM card would be useful. However, I can’t leave it unattended, one of the inexpensive options.

• Screen: 5.5 inches, 1080x1920, IPS
• 1 SIM card
• Processor: MediaTek MT6750
• Android 7.1
• Camera: 16 and 8 MP
• Battery: 4000 mAh

Minimum price on Yandex.Market: 10,800 rubles

ASUS ZenFone Zoom ZX551ML

Wow, ASUS with a fancy camera also got into this selection. The smartphone at one time was distinguished by an advanced photo part: optical stabilization, 3x optical zoom and additional modes for shooting. On paper, everything looks cool, but I wouldn’t buy it for the sake of the camera, it wasn’t very impressive in practice.

• 2 SIM cards
• Android 7.1
• Memory: 3/32 GB, microSD slot
• Camera: 16 and 5 MP
• Battery: 3000 mAh
• Dimensions: 150 x 73.5 x 8.25 mm, weight 157 g.

Minimum price on Yandex.Market: 12,800 rubles

Nokia 5

Another version of a smartphone with "clean" Android 7.1 is offered by Nokia. The phone is inexpensive, can do everything you need, small and convenient. The fingerprint scanner is located under the screen, which is rare for Chinese models. Let me remind you that the Chinese HMD Global is behind the Nokia brand.

• Screen: 5.2 inches, 720x1280, IPS
• 2 SIM cards
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 430
• Android 7.1
• Memory: 2/16 GB, microSD slot
• Camera: 13 and 8 MP
• Battery: 3000 mAh
• Dimensions: 150 x 72.5 x 8 mm, weight 137 g.

Minimum price on Yandex.Market: 10,600 rubles

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017)

The junior model of the A-series of 2017 looks very good, there is both glass and metal in the finish, while the smartphone is not afraid of water. Thanks to the IP68 protection, this is its practical feature. Plus, it's small, has a bright screen, fast charging, a decent camera, a handy fingerprint scanner, and Samsung Pay support.

If you have anything to add, please email me. [email protected]

The NFC function, which allows you to use your smartphone as a bank card and pay with it in stores, appealed to a huge number of people, and it is the presence of this module that many people pay attention to when choosing a gadget. However, despite this, only a small part of the devices can boast of its presence. We present you our list of smartphones with NFC module in 2019, in which we have collected the best models. Let's watch it together.

#10 - Nokia 3.1

Price: 10 500 rubles

Our rating is opened by a stylish gadget from Nokia. The smartphone has a display with a diagonal of 5.2 inches, a resolution of 1440x720 pixels, a trendy aspect ratio of 18:9 and a ppi of 310 units. The screen is made using IPS technology. Looking under the hood, we find a budget MediaTek MT6750 processor and 2 GB of RAM. The Mali-T860 MP2 acts as a graphics accelerator here. The storage can accommodate up to 16 GB of information, and when using a flash card up to 128 GB. Photo capabilities are represented by a main camera with a resolution of 13 MP and a front camera of 8 MP. Battery capacity - 2990 mAh.

Nokia 3.1 has a fairly modern and attractive design, but with all this, it is practically no different from other gadgets in this segment. For some, the lack of identity can be a significant disadvantage. The display, in turn, on the contrary will please almost everyone. It is remarkably calibrated, so the image has no problems with color reproduction, viewing angles, or other parameters. But the main advantage of Nokia 3.1 are cameras. They are able to take detailed pictures, which is especially noticeable in the presence of the right lighting.

No. 9 - Honor 7C

Under the hood of the gadget is a Snapdragon 430 processor, graphics issues are resolved through Adreno 505, the memory configuration is 3/32 GB. The main camera module is dual - 13 + 2 MP, the front camera lens sensor has a resolution of 8 MP. Battery capacity 3000 mAh.

In addition to NFC support, the main advantage of Honor 7C is the screen. It is quite economical due to its resolution, which has a positive effect on the autonomy of the device, and there are no particular complaints about the picture it shows - the viewing angles are close to the maximum, and the brightness margin is enough even for operation under sunlight.

#8 - Sony Xperia L2

Price: 12 089 rubles

Sony Xperia L2 is made in the corporate style of Sony, which it adheres to when creating mobile devices - strict features and a rectangular body.
