Smartphone makers are increasingly chasing high performance, forgetting about battery capacity. A lot of devices worthy from a technical point of view are not able to work on one charge and a day. At this time, photos for social networks became one of the main ways to use a modern phone, and with frequent use of the camera, the device is discharged even faster. Is there an optimal option in today's assortment - a smartphone with a good camera and a powerful battery?
Curbing
Criterias of choice
What to look for when buying? Maximum megapixels (MP) and more milliampere-hours (mAh) is a logical answer, but incorrect. If you want to buy a long-playing phone that takes great pictures, you should focus on these two parameters first of all, but remember - numbers in this case can be deceiving.
For example, the number of megapixels of the camera says little: a phone with a 5 MP camera, but a good matrix, can take pictures no worse than a 13 MP device, but with mediocre optics. Battery consumption is affected by the OS, build quality, firmware, processor power, and a host of other factors. In cheap smartphones of little-known Chinese brands, the values may simply be overestimated.
Important: 10 MP is the border above which other camera parameters play a role. The optimal value is 12-13 MP.
When choosing a smartphone with a good camera, pay attention to (the range of the most successful values is indicated in brackets):
- aperture width (F / 1.9 - F / 1.6);
- camera matrix size (1/3 ″ - 1 / 2.3 ″);
- pixel size (1.4 μm - 1.5 μm);
- type of autofocus (phase or laser).
- The presence of optical stabilization is extremely useful for video shooting.
One thing can be said about the battery: the same capacity can be enough for both 7 hours and 2 days, depending on the mode of use of the device. Discharging too quickly compared to the stated capacity may indicate a defective battery. Today's manufacturers add to the difficulty by making it increasingly difficult to find a device with a removable battery.
Two days of work with an average load (calls, photos, video filming, periodic Internet surfing) for a modern smartphone is a decent result, more is excellent. Anyone who has 3,000 mAh battery for a couple of weeks of work wins in this parameter, but any of them today is equipped with an extremely poor camera.
Inexpensive smartphones with a good camera and battery
Due to the inconvenient ruble exchange rate, one has to pay attention to cheap smartphones. Among them, you can choose a good solution, but you will have to spend more time searching.
This is the case when you can encounter overstated figures in the characteristics. Consider the higher scrap rate in this price category. The models listed below are suitable for undemanding buyers.
Smartphone of a budget Chinese brand with a 5 ″ screen. It has a dual camera 8/5 MP with an aperture of F / 2.2, equipped with autofocus, as well as a 5 MP front camera. 4000mAh battery. According to the owners, the autonomy of the phone is high, up to 3-4 days.
Opinions about cameras are diametrically opposite: from negative to positive, taking into account the low price of the device. The phone can be advised for those who are looking for the most budgetary solution and are ready to put up with the disadvantages of the device.
Inexpensive smartphone with an 8-megapixel camera equipped with autofocus and a 4000 mAh battery. There is a 5 MP front camera. Judging by the reviews, this is a really good device for its price: high autonomy, normal pictures.
On the downside, 1 GB of RAM is too small for modern applications, and the 4.5-inch display is also considered small. Suitable for undemanding users.
DEXP Ixion ML245 VERTEX Impress Lion dual cam 3G
5-inch device with a dual camera 8/5 MP, equipped with autofocus, a large 4400 mAh battery and a 5-megapixel front camera. An excellent budget solution with really high autonomy and pleasant image quality.
Among the shortcomings - 1 GB of RAM, lack of support for 4G networks. For undemanding people for its price, this model can be a real boon.
VERTEX Impress Lion dual cam 3G
A cheap smartphone with an impressive 4,900 mAh battery. 8 MP camera with autofocus and 5 MP front. It has a 5 ″ display and 1 GB of RAM, which is traditional for this price category. When using a large number of applications and heavy programs, this will affect the comfort of use.
Otherwise, this is a smartphone with a really long-lasting battery and a camera that takes good pictures, which you are not ashamed to show your friends or post on social networks.
A device with an interesting look, which stands out against the background of many twins copying certain design elements from each other. A smartphone with a 5.5-inch screen and a pleasant 2 GB of RAM carries a 13/2 MP dual camera (in fact, 8 MP in disguise), an 8 MP front camera and a 3000 mAh battery.
The battery capacity cannot be called large, despite the fact that the mobile device is running Android, which means that you should not expect to save battery. Thanks to 2 GB of RAM, the smartphone is faster than the previous ones from the list. Photos have natural color reproduction, but the camera is not suitable for evening and night photography.
A device with a 5.5 ″ screen, an 8-megapixel main camera with autofocus, a 5-megapixel front camera and a large 4,700 mAh battery. All this complements the pleasant appearance and overshadows the presence of viruses in the factory firmware, as a result of which a lot of glitches appear in the operation of the device.
Having bought it, you will get high autonomy and good image quality, but the phone needs to be flashed. Therefore, it can only be recommended to people who are well versed in such matters.
In the middle price category
Smartphones below are the best choice in terms of price / quality ratio. But do not forget to meticulously study all the technical details of the model you like: equipment can have problems at any price. The matrix of cameras of most models for the average money has an aperture of F / 2, which is not so much and allows you to take excellent pictures only during the day.
Model 5.5 ″ from a popular Chinese manufacturer with an interesting design. The battery is only 3,000 mAh, which is slightly larger than most modern smartphones, but not enough to classify it as a group of increased autonomy. Enough for 7 hours of video playback at maximum screen brightness.
Cameras: main 8 MP with F / 2 aperture and autofocus, front 5 MP. Pictures are highly dependent on the quality of the lighting. In sunny weather, good quality can be achieved outside. In other situations, it is difficult.
Despite the mid-range price category, this 5.5 ″ Chinese phone shows interesting features. The battery is not very voluminous - only 3,080 mAh. Cameras: main with autofocus and aperture F / 2.2 at 13 MP, front at 16 MP, and both are equipped with a flash. It is worth noting 4 GB of RAM, so you are unlikely to experience the brakes in your work.
The front camera with flash is a prime example of the case when many megapixels are harmful. Low light noise, low dynamic range in bright light, quick detail. The selfie camera flash is a controversial solution, as using it only exacerbates skin imperfections.
The rear 13-megapixel camera demonstrates noticeably better performance. It is unlikely that you can take great pictures, but with the proper skill you can get good quality. 64 GB of internal memory allows you to store a lot of photos and videos. The smartphone can be recommended as a good choice in the mid-range.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 5A Prime 4 ASUS ZenFone 4 Max ZC554KL 3 / 32GB
Similar to the previous rating member, the name of this 5.5 ″ phone shows that it has 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory. Based on these parameters, the smartphone should be stable, but how long? A 5000 mAh battery, which is still a record among all the models reviewed. Based on the feedback from the owners, this volume is enough to become independent from the outlet for 3 days.
For photo and video shooting, there is a 13 MP dual camera with autofocus and F / 2 aperture, as well as an 8 MP front camera. But the numbers did not play a big role: the pictures are pleasant only in excellent lighting, otherwise expect noise. As a result: a solid outwardly smartphone with a really high energy independence and good hardware, but you can't become a cool photographer with it.
Affordable 5.5 ″ model with a 16-megapixel main camera equipped with phase detection autofocus and an 8-megapixel front camera. The 4000 mAh battery, according to the manufacturer, should last for 570 hours of standby time in 4G networks and up to 17 hours of talk time in 3G networks. Tests show 10 hours of video at maximum screen brightness - this is noticeably more than many modern phones, and the battery life depends entirely on the way you use the device. In games, it will be discharged quickly, for video and correspondence it is perfect.
The main 16 MP camera is actually a good 13 MP with support for video recording in Full HD. Photo quality is good and very good in bright daylight. The front camera takes very nice pictures. Summing up with other advantages of the device, which are more than enough for a reasonable price, we can conclude that this is one of the best phones with a good camera and a capacious battery from the middle price category.
5.5 "smartphone with an interesting" narrow-frame "design, not the most voluminous 3300 mAh battery and cameras: dual rear 13 / 0.3 MP F2 / 2.2 with autofocus and support for video recording in Full HD, and front 8 MP.

Perhaps it's the firmware. There are no complaints about the detailing of the photo.
About the battery: 6000 mAh and that says it all. 2 days with intensive use. Of the minuses of the model - a high percentage of defects, judging by the reviews.
5.5 ″ device from the line of smartphones with increased autonomy: 5000 mAh battery. That's 13 hours of video or 9 hours of internet at maximum brightness, that is, 2 days with average use.

By listing a few of the more successful models, we've tried to help you decide which phone is best for you in this category. Therefore, there will certainly not be any problems in the selection and operation. Happy choice!
Today, most owners of smartphones on the Android platform have become accustomed to the fact that they will not see a record autonomy. After all, such devices are not purchased at all because of a powerful battery. But in the best models, manufacturers strive to keep the optimization at a level, so it is quite possible to find cheap smartphones with a powerful battery.
Good budget smartphones
As a rule, even phones with medium-capacity batteries show an average runtime without additional charging. In the economy sector, the phenomenon of high-quality energy optimization is much less common.
Ultimately, suppliers pay more and more attention to working on software, due to the fact that the process itself is not cheap in the end. Therefore, a powerful battery for a cheap smartphone is a harsh necessity.
Next, we will focus on relatively cheap phones, the battery of which has a fairly impressive capacity for this version of the smartphone. That is why such models show excellent battery life, greatly simplifying the life of their owners, because in this case, you do not need to put the phone on recharging several times a day. Let's move on to an overview of the cheap ones. There are plenty to choose from.
This list includes Honor 4C pro, domestic models, and solutions from market flagships, and Chinese counterparts. Finding something suitable will surely work out. And then you just have to go to the store for your new Honor 4C pro, for example.
Xiaomi Redmi 4 - a balanced phone with a good battery
In December 2016, this company expanded its range of economy models with a series of Redmi phones. Today, within this series of smartphones, there are already five models. Note that three Redmi models come with a high-quality battery, and in particular, the Xiaomi Redmi 4 model is in good demand among buyers due to its affordable price and excellent parameters. Such a device will cost about $ 140, which looks quite cost-effective for this amount.
Characteristics of the Xiaomi Redmi 4 device
This model can rightfully be attributed to the section of cheap Chinese smartphones with a powerful battery. The phone is characterized by a proprietary six-inch IPS display with HD quality. As practice shows, it is very difficult to name the resulting image FullHD, however, the resolution of 1280x740 is acceptable for this diagonal, which does not completely load the device and the device's battery.
The smartphone is equipped with built-in memory: 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory. 11 GB remain free. Plus to the memory there is a slot for a flash card. The phone is based on MIUI 8, a distinctive transformation of the Android platform of the sixth version. The phone supports all existing networks from GSM to LTE.
The thirteen megapixel camera of the device is armed with a regular 1/3 "sensor with phase detection autofocus. The phone's battery is a distinctive feature of Redmi models. The battery capacity is 4300 mAh. In stand-alone mode, the battery of the device will last about four days. Regarding frequent use of the smartphone , in this case the charge volume will be enough for a couple of days.As practice shows, it is possible to completely discharge the device after seventeen hours of watching the video sequence.
It can be noted that Xiaomi models, among the least recognizable Chinese counterparts, look unbeatable, and the battery (with equal power) lives longer. All that remains is to choose a phone with a global firmware that officially contains Google's languages and services.
Looking for an inexpensive smartphone with a powerful battery? Lenovo's Vibe p1m is exactly what you need. This device will cost about $ 120, which is generally excellent, especially in the sense that this is not an unknown Chinese-made smartphone, but a high-quality device from the proven Lenovo brand.
Phone characteristics
It is equipped with a nine-megapixel camera with a simple matrix, however, if in similar models of the Chinese model it clearly does not reach the specified parameters, then all 9 MP are visible, as they say, with the naked eye. The picture resolution is usual for a smartphone of this model - HD720p. The front camera is five megapixels.
The battery capacity is 3500 mAh. This is enough for a couple of days in offline mode, and with little activity for twenty hours, when watching video - for twelve hours.
Philips Xenium V377
Philips in the category of phones has always been famous for its sufficiently capacious batteries. The Xenium V377 is a cheap smartphone with a powerful battery. The cost of this phone model will be about $ 130, which justifies the device as a whole.
Smartphone specifications
The amount of memory of this smartphone: RAM - 1 GB, built-in memory - 8 GB. The processor of the device is quad-core, there is an additional slot for a flash card. Philips Xenium V377 runs on Android 5.2 platform. As a rule, the desired optimization is achieved when working with third generation networks.
The camera of this device is seven megapixels, unfortunately, it shoots at 5 megapixels. The front camera is two megapixels. The battery capacity is quite good - 5000 mAh. I would also like to note that the designers of the model managed to create the minimum thickness of the case - one centimeter. In stand-alone mode, the smartphone will last about five days without recharging, in working mode - for two days.
Model from Senseit
Almost everyone knows Senseit as a manufacturer of secure smartphones. But the domestic company has long expanded the range of manufactured devices with powerful batteries.
Phone characteristics
The device is built on the mid-budget MediaTek platform - the most popular chipset, but not the most impetuous. Based on the characteristics, Senseit e400 can be attributed to inexpensive smartphones with a powerful battery. On the other hand, the manufacturers have equipped the product with the Android platform of the fifth version, the phone itself is well assembled, I would like to separately note the metal case, which will protect your phone during falls and, as already noted, a powerful battery. This brand of smartphone will cost about 10 thousand rubles, which looks very good against the background of Western and Chinese competitors.
The positive aspects of the Senseit e400 include:
- high-quality assembly;
- a good camera for its performance;
- metal back case;
- the official Android of the fifth version;
- perfectly keeps the battery in offline mode;
- price-quality ratio.
The negative aspects of the model include:
- rather primitive design;
- low screen resolution;
- the device is heavy enough;
- inconvenient location of the USB input;
- non-removable battery.
Highscreen
Let's take a closer look at another representative of domestic cheap smartphones with a powerful battery. Manufacturers of Highscreen power ice claim that the battery will last for two users.
Main characteristics of a smartphone
The smartphone is equipped with a powerful enough battery - 4000 mAh. This one is famous for its thinness - the thickness of the case is only eight millimeters. Highscreen power ice operates on two sim cards, is equipped with built-in memory of 16 GB and 2 GB of RAM. Supports 4G networks. The processor of this unit is a quad-core MT6835.
External camera - 9 megapixels, front - 5 MP. The phone also provides support for the Glonass / GPS system.
The phone package includes a charger, a branded case, the smartphone itself and a USB cable.
Doogee t6
The T6 is another cheap phone with a decent battery from Doogee, another Chinese company. The device was released in the fall of 2015 and immediately interested many buyers. It is distinguished by its cost, which is about $ 120, so it looks very attractive for connoisseurs of economical models. It is also worth noting that the Doogee T6 model is really a smartphone with an excellent removable battery, reaching average power in terms of power.
Doogee T6 phone specifications
The screen of the presented device is 6 inches with a standard HD resolution for a budget class. The processor of the device is a quad-core MT6835, which operates at a frequency of 1 GHz. The phone's RAM is 2 GB, the built-in memory is 16 GB, while the phone has two slots for a flash card. It implements its activities based on the Android 5.1 platform. Carries out cellular communication using all currently relevant networks, including LTE.
The rear camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, it is built on a sensor from Sony. The front camera is of rather low quality - only two megapixels. Battery power is the main feature of this model, which distinguishes it from other analogues. The battery capacity is 6500 mAh, with this power the phone operates for about 6 days in stand-alone mode and about 3 days in working mode.
HOMTOM HT5
Last winter, this representative of the budget version of smartphones appeared on the market. Today, the Homtom HT5 device can be purchased for $ 110. This phone has gained popularity due to its wooden side panel and, of course, a powerful battery.
The screen of this model is five-inch with a resolution of 1280 by 720, which is covered with 2.7 D glass. The phone's processor is 64-bit, which is a non-standard indicator of budget versions of smartphones, with a frequency of 1 GHz. But already the indicators of the RAM are quite similar to the economical option - 1 GB, and the built-in one - 16 GB. There is also an additional slot for a microSD memory card. Due to the new built-in chipset, this model supports all known networks at the moment, including LTE.
The camera performance of the smartphone is not flashy - the rear camera is 8 megapixels, the front one is 2 megapixels. But the battery is good - 4500 mAh, which is quite enough for 2 working days and 4 days of autonomous mode, during which the phone will not require additional recharging. The battery is fully charged in 3 hours.
What about PowerBank?
Power Banks are very common now, and so maybe you don't need a powerful battery at all? You just need to take a small device and a cord with you to be able to recharge your smartphone anytime and anywhere. A decent model can be purchased for only $ 39 is a RAVPower that provides multiple full charges. A small gadget with a capacity of 176 750 mAh. This is a great compromise between size, quality, cost, power and charging speed. It also has a stylish look.
But for Chinese Xiaomi smartphones, it is better to purchase branded portable chargers. There is also EasyAcc Monster for 26 thousand mAh, Yokkao costing from eleven dollars or Giant + Power Bank, which allows you to simultaneously charge both a smartphone and a tablet. You can find something suitable for every taste and budget. Most portable chargers are designed for 500 or more charging cycles, they are quite powerful, small in size and stylish in appearance. Some models are equipped with additional "chips" in the form of safety control of the device when recharging.
Finally
So, the first thing to be conditioned by when choosing a phone that is cheap, but not bad, is what tasks it is needed for: making calls, sending and receiving SMS, playing audio files and doing something at least from a distance that looks like professional photographs can be done by almost any smartphone. , the cost of which will vary from $ 40 in foreign online stores, or from 5000 rubles in the Russian Federation.
If you need a phone for frequent calls and you need to have two sim cards (or two active sim cards), take high-quality photos on the main camera, take good selfies on the front camera, play modern games or watch a movie on a long journey, listen to high-quality music on the way to work or you need the phone to work without recharging for more than 4 days, you should pay attention to the following characteristics: brand, operating system, screen resolution, screen diagonal, phone processor, camera (rear and front) and of course the power of the battery.
In recent years, new devices with a good camera have appeared on the market, among which there are both simple inexpensive models and premium mobile devices. The first ones are more interesting, because the combination of low cost and high-quality shooting gives the devices an advantage over competitors. It is clear that other characteristics are also important in the phone, but when you want to buy a budget camera phone, they fade into the background.
The best low-cost smartphones with a good camera
The name of the processor is used to judge the speed of the communicator, and the autonomy is judged by the capacity of the battery. If you need an inexpensive phone with a good camera, then you need to look not at megapixels, but at the quality of pictures. Everyone knows the feeling when an expensive advertised communicator distorts colors, takes blurry photos, and does not have time to focus. The flagship devices use a lot of innovations, but the efforts of the manufacturers do not always lead to an excellent result.
Today, you can easily buy an inexpensive smartphone with a good camera. Although telephones have not yet replaced professional cameras, they have already learned how to take pictures in such a way that they have almost ousted ordinary "soap dishes" from the market. Over the past couple of years, many people have appeared who buy mobile phones exclusively for taking selfies and uploading self-portraits to social networks.
Xiaomi
These models are a happy exception to the rule that a cheap product will not be of high quality.

The brand is not very well known in Russia yet, but Meizu products are in demand in the USA, Japan, Korea, which gives the right to assume the reliability and quality of communicators.
Each season the company offers new phone models that are not similar to similar devices from other brands. The advantage of the product is the steel body, which increases the strength of the gadget. In 2019, the company introduced budget smartphones:

Smartphone lovers call Sony the favorite among all gadget manufacturers. Some users put the firm on a par with the iPhone. A huge plus of Sony Xperia mobile devices is the equipment with first-class cameras, both main and front. This is especially true for the flagships. Another plus is the design. All Sony models have a number of signature elements that make the brand recognizable. The most popular budget smartphones:

How to choose an inexpensive smartphone with a good camera
Recently, there has been a tendency towards savings. Less and less thoughtless purchases are made under the influence of advertising, especially since now manufacturers offer a wide range of inexpensive camera phones that can replace a camera. You can buy a mobile device both in a hardware store and order in an online store with mail delivery. So that the purchase does not disappoint, you need to be able to choose the right gadget.
First, you need to consider the possibilities of the inexpensive smartphones that will come in handy. To do this, it is better to compile a list of device characteristics in advance, prioritizing them. For example, putting the ability to take selfies first, listening to music second, playing games third, and so on. For a mobile device to meet all the requirements, consider not only the flagships of the industry, but also brands that are inferior in popularity. All manufacturers' proposals are divided into 4 categories:
- And brands. Promoted mobile devices with many additional functions that are not always needed, but you have to pay extra for them.
- The brands. A middle category of smartphones with characteristics similar to category A, but very different in price. This group is widely represented by Chinese manufacturers.
- With brands. Unknown brands of inexpensive smartphones that are sold at a very attractive price, for example, Zopo, Cubot, Oppo, Doogee.
- D brands. All other mobile devices that do not have a trademark at all. Inexpensive mobile devices can be produced clandestinely, so buying such devices is not recommended.
With a good battery
As a rule, long-playing communicators do not have advanced filling, and vice versa, if the phone takes decent pictures, then the battery is far from ideal. It is difficult to find decent devices in the cheap segment, but it is possible. For convenience, smartphones are arranged in ascending order of price - from budget to expensive:
- Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro;
- Meizu MX6;
- Xiaomi Redmi Pro;
- HTC One X10;
- DOOGEE F7 Pro;
- Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro;
- Xiaomi Mi Note 2;
- Huawei Mate 9;
Chinese Smartphone
As practice shows, many Chinese mobile devices have surpassed most of the promoted brands in terms of performance and design. When buying an inexpensive smartphone with a multi-pixel camera and a capacitive battery, pay attention to other criteria:
- Screen size. Varies from 4 inches or more. If you want to use the device only for sending photos, making and receiving calls or text messages, then it is recommended to purchase a screen with a size of 4 to 4.7 inches so as not to overpay.
- Permission. If you plan to use the gadget like a regular phone, then a screen resolution of up to 720x1280 will be enough. For the Internet and reading books, buy a phone with a higher resolution.
- The power of the processor and RAM. The minimum OS for the normal functioning of the phone is 512 MB. As for the processor, if you plan to use only one application, then 2 cores will be enough. For multitasking, you need a machine with a 4-core processor or higher.
- Battery capacity. Expressed in milliamps / hour. The larger the screen size, the higher the mAh number should be. Compare these indicators when buying a device.
- Photo and video camera. The more pixels, the higher the quality of the pictures. For high-quality photos and videos, choose models with 8 megapixels and above.
With a good front camera
The rise of social media has spawned a whole generation of selfies (self-portraits). To look great in pictures, you should definitely get a phone with a good front camera. This is a camera located on the front of a mobile device. It is sometimes difficult to notice it, since in some models the peephole is very small.
According to statistics, most buyers when buying a smartphone primarily pay attention to its autonomy, camera quality and design. With the latter, everything is fine today, because even state employees can boast of an almost flagship appearance. As for the duration of work, it can be easily increased by increasing the capacity of the battery. But it is not so easy to understand the quality of the pictures taken by the phone by a few numbers in the characteristics. Therefore, we have compiled a rating of smartphones with the best camera and a powerful battery in the opinion of buyers, which will help you choose an excellent device for the Internet, games and photos, spending a reasonable amount of money on it.
Best low-cost smartphones with a good camera and battery
Buyer demands are growing faster than technology advances. Once upon a time, a mediocre camera was enough for the user, but today even budget smartphones are criticized for strong noise in pictures, blurry photos and the absence of such familiar "chips" as background blur. Taking into account such buyers' requests, we have chosen 3 inexpensive smartphones with good dual cameras. All of them are presented by solutions from Chinese brands, and the battery capacity of each of the devices is an impressive 4000 mAh.
1. Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 3 / 32GB
Do you want to buy a smartphone up to 12,000 rubles, pleasing with a stylish design, high-quality assembly and efficient filling? A wonderful solution will be the Mi A2 Lite from the Chinese brand Xiaomi. The smartphone runs on the still in demand Snapdragon 625 with the Adreno 506 graphics accelerator. This is one of the best platforms for low-cost models, demonstrating excellent results both in ordinary applications and in many modern games.
Note. Together with the A2 Lite, the manufacturer also released the regular A2. The cameras and hardware in it are better than in the younger version, and the display is devoid of a cutout. If you can add another 3-4 thousand rubles to the budget, then we recommend this option.
The main cameras of the Mi A2 Lite smartphone are represented by sensors from Sony and Samsung (IMX486 and S5K5E8, respectively), and the front module (OV5675) is manufactured by OmniVision. The latter is suitable not only for great selfies, but also for face unlocking. As for the rear modules, they take very decent photos, but the lack of illumination still leads to noticeable noise.
Advantages:
- pure Android operating system;
- good rear camera modules;
- battery life - 4000 mAh battery;
- calibration and display brightness are excellent for a budget employee;
- separate tray for SIM and microSD.
Flaws:
- camera operation in low light still raises questions.
2. Meizu M6 Note 16GB
The second place was taken by a good smartphone from Meizu. The M6 Note went on sale in the fall of 2017 and has remained quite popular since then. Such a success was ensured by an excellent "filling" of the device: Snapdragon 625, Adreno 506, 3 GB of RAM.
By the way, this is the first Meizu phone powered by Qualcomm, not MediaTech. If we talk about cameras, then they are slightly inferior to competitors. The Sony IMX362 sensor is somewhat outdated, and the second 5MP module is even worse. But the front camera here is just excellent. For selfie fans, a smartphone with a powerful battery and a good Meizu M6 Note camera will be an excellent choice.
Advantages:
- perfect design for a state employee;
- metal body available in 4 colors;
- good performance and speed;
- great price;
- there is support for fast charging;
- touch-mechanical button mTouch;
- autonomy up to 2 days at standard load.
Flaws:
- only 16 GB of storage and a combined slot.
3.Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 3 / 32GB
The Redmi Note line is considered one of the most popular in the range of Xiaomi, providing the manufacturer with the lion's share of sales. After the extremely successful Redmi Note 4, the Chinese decided to squeeze the maximum out of the market by releasing several modifications at once. Depending on the country, the smartphone is equipped either with the same cameras as the A2 Lite, or with two Samsung modules (S5K2L7 instead of IMX486).
A smartphone with an excellent camera and battery pleases with a productive filling, which perfectly "digests" modern games at medium graphics settings. For the younger modification with 3/32 GB of memory, the manufacturer asks for only 10 thousand rubles. But there are also other solutions on sale up to 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 GB of ROM.
What can be distinguished:
- passable sounding;
- high-quality main camera;
- Full HD screen 5.99 inches with a ratio of 2: 1;
- lightning-fast fingerprint scanner;
- impressive autonomy;
- a good combination of low cost and ideal technical capabilities;
- fits comfortably in the hand.
The best smartphones with a good camera and battery price - quality
Ready to spend a little more money, but want to do it smartly? This will help the second category of smartphones in our review, which contains the best devices in terms of price-quality ratio. For their price, the presented smartphones are an excellent choice for mobile photography. Accurate detection of objects in the frame to blur the background, excellent front-facing cameras for high-quality selfies, as well as 3500 mAh batteries, which will last for a whole day of active shooting - all this will delight buyers with a budget of 15 to 20 thousand rubles.
1. Honor 8X 4 / 64GB
The second category is opened by a smartphone with a clear focus on young people. And this is understandable not only by the name of the brand (Honor is the youth sub-brand of Huawei), but also by the attractive design. The device is housed in a glass body available in black, blue and red. Most of the back cover is glossy and reflects the light falling on it beautifully (though fingerprints are just as “beautiful” there), and a small strip on the left, where the cameras are located, is semi-matte.
If we talk about cameras, then according to reviews this smartphone shoots very well. On the front of the device is a 16-megapixel sensor with f / 2.0 aperture, squeezed into the same small cutout as the proximity sensors, a missed event indicator and a speaker. The latter is very small, but, at the same time, quite loud and of high quality. The back panel of the smartphone is reserved for 20 and 2 MP modules. The 20-megapixel sensor with f / 1.8 aperture does most of the work, and the second camera is needed to blur the background. Moreover, the smartphone does this very well, for its price. Obviously, the inscription "AI CAMERA" on the back cover is not in vain.
Advantages:
- one of the best screens in its segment;
- the camera takes decent selfies and great portraits;
- well-thought-out branded shell and fast hardware;
- attractive design and three beautiful colors;
- fast fingerprint scanner and face recognition;
- simultaneous work with a memory card and 2 sim cards;
- good complete cover and film on the screen.
Flaws:
- the case is very easily soiled and slippery, wears it better in a case;
- the lack of light in the frame clearly affects the quality of the pictures.
2.Samsung Galaxy A6 + 32GB
Another youth smartphone with numerous good reviews is in second place. The Galaxy A6 Plus has an excellent 24MP f / 1.9 front camera with its own flash. Thanks to the “Selfie Focus” option, you can get an imitation of background blur in your photos. In general, the algorithm works well, but some flaws can still happen. But even in the dark, the smartphone manages to take quite good pictures with a minimum of noise.
The main camera, which has two 16 and 5 MP modules at once, also shoots very well. But for games, this smartphone is poorly suited. The Galaxy A6 Plus phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 450 processor and Adreno 506 graphics. Yes, for many projects this "hardware" is enough, but only if you choose medium or low settings. But the energy efficiency of this hardware platform is beyond praise, which made it possible to ensure excellent autonomy of the device with a 3500 mAh battery.
Advantages:
- perfectly calibrated AMOLED display with high resolution;
- excellent front camera with flash;
- excellent battery that lasts for 2 days of work;
- the presence of an NFC module and the stability of its work;
- attractive appearance and reliable metal body;
- decent sound.
Flaws:
- no event indicator;
- rather weak hardware for its price.
3. Huawei Mate 20 Lite
In first place in the category presented is the smartphone with the best camera Huawei Mate 20 Lite. It is equipped with a Full HD display with a diagonal of 6.3 inches and an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9. The screen covers 82% of the Mate 20 Lite's bezel and covers 85% of the NTSC space. There are two cameras in the device - 20 and 2 MP. They take great pictures, but they can only record videos in Full HD resolution (60 fps). It is also possible to record video at 480 fps, but for this the resolution will have to be downgraded to 720p.
But selfie fans will clearly not be disappointed, since the smartphone has a dual main camera, which includes 24 MP (f / 2) and 2 MP modules. Also, for 20,000 rubles, the manufacturer offers buyers a good set of delivery.
Advantages:
- attractive appearance;
- good delivery set;
- excellent front camera;
- built-in NFC;
- a 3750 mAh battery confidently holds for 1.5-2 days;
- instant response of the fingerprint scanner.
Flaws:
- incorrect system optimization;
- the volume of the main speaker.
Best smartphones with a good camera and premium battery
Modern mobile phones have not yet reached the level of full-fledged cameras, but flagship models have come very close to similar quality. Advanced smartphones allow you to take great photos, especially if the user takes a little time to get the right settings before shooting. Top smartphones are able to please not only ordinary consumers, but also people who keep their blogs, develop accounts on social networks, and even amateurs who do not want to constantly carry a camera and charger with them.
1.Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) 6 / 128GB
Smartphone with 4 cameras
Why didn't we choose a model from the flagship S or Note lines? Yes, because none of the devices related to them is equipped with 4 cameras at once:
- Wide angle (120 degrees).
- Module for 2x optical zoom.
- Sensor with standard viewing angle.
- Camera for digital background blur.
However, the latter is partly superfluous, since two modules are enough for the "bokeh" effect. But this does not prevent us from praising a smartphone with a very powerful battery and a decent camera for an interesting idea.
The AMOLED screen is also worthy of praise, with a diagonal and resolution of 6.3 inches and 2280x1080 pixels, respectively. As for the "filling", the Samsung company gave preference to the popular in the middle segment Snapdragon 660 with a graphics coprocessor Adreno 512.
Advantages:
- 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory;
- separate slot for micro SD (up to 512 GB);
- main camera, including 4 sensors;
- recognizable corporate identity and excellent assembly;
- sufficient performance and performance.
Flaws:
- considering the characteristics, the cost of the A9 is clearly overpriced;
- in practice, the phone does not need so many cameras;
- no optical stabilization.
2. OnePlus 6T 8 / 128GB
The next position in the ranking of smartphones with a good camera and battery is taken by the cosmetic update OnePlus 6. The novelty, which received the prefix "T" in the name, is available exclusively in black. However, the smartphone can be glossy or matte, which leaves users with a choice. Visually, both solutions look great, but the gloss is still more slippery and easier to collect fingerprints.
OnePlus has once again abandoned full IP certification. A formal statement about an improved water-repellent layer should be taken with skepticism, since it does not guarantee moisture protection.
The hardware platform of the OnePlus 6T smartphone is completely similar to its predecessor. But the screen of the device has changed a little. And it's not only about the drop-shaped notch instead of the "bangs", but also about increasing the diagonal to 6.4 inches with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 instead of the previous 19: 9. The screen is still AMOLED and is traditionally good (151% sRGB and 99% DCI P3 coverage). However, all this is not as impressive as the fingerprint scanner hidden under the display. For convenience, the device has face unlocking.
Advantages:
- fingerprint scanner under the display;
- first-class color reproduction of the screen;
- excellent gaming performance;
- Android 9.0;
- at moderate load, the battery lasts 1.5 days;
- almost perfect main camera;
- clear and loud sound;
- the ability to shoot Ultra HD video at 60 fps.
Flaws:
- there is no full protection against water and dust;
- rejection of the 3.5 mm jack, which was in the "six".
3. Huawei P20 Pro
The review closes with a real masterpiece, the dream of any mobile photographer and ordinary buyer - Huawei P20 Pro. We can talk for a long time about its main camera, which includes three modules at once, but they will not look as colorful as the fact that the smartphone is now leading in the well-known DxOMark rating. In it, the current flagship Huawei managed to overtake even Apple, and immediately by 4 points. The iPhone Xs Max itself was ahead of the following Samsung Galaxy Note 9, HTC U12 + and Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 by only 2 points.
If you are not solely impressed with the camera, then the high-capacity battery (4000 mAh) and the 6.1-inch display with excellent brightness installed in the smartphone are also important arguments in favor of the reviewed model. It is also worth adding to this the most powerful "stuffing":
- Kirin 970 proprietary processor (4 x 2.36 GHz, 4 x 1.84 GHz);
- advanced graphics Mali-G72 (12 x 767 MHz);
- 6 gigabytes of RAM at once (LPDDR4X, 1833 MHz);
- fast storage UFS 2.1 with a volume of 128 GB.
Moreover, the manufacturer asks for all these advantages only 40 thousand rubles.
Advantages:
- the king in the segment of mobile photography;
- an impressive amount of built-in storage;
- productive hardware and sophisticated software;
- optimal diagonal and high brightness of the screen;
- good work of optical stabilization;
- wide customization options for your own preferences;
- protection according to the IP67 standard;
- front camera ideal for selfies.
Flaws:
- rather slippery and easily soiled case;
- no support for wireless charging;
- there is no 3.5 mm jack.
