Summing up: which smartphone is better to buy up to 5000 rubles in 2018

The trouble with almost all budget smartphones is poor hardware capabilities, as well as a small amount of RAM and internal memory. If you want both one and the other to be bigger, pay attention to the Leagoo M9, DOOGEE X20 or Leagoo Kiicaa Power.

If you need the cheapest smartphone with 4G, then we recommend Motorola Moto C LTE, Fly FS517 Cirrus 11, Highscreen Easy XL or Alcatel U5 HD 5047D.

If you need a budget smartphone with a capacious battery and a good camera, take a look at the VERTEX Impress Lion dual cam 3G or Leagoo Kiicaa Power.

Huawei Y3 is suitable for those who are looking for a compromise between usability and the cost of a smartphone.

If the main reference point is a low price, then it is better not to find Motorola Moto C LTE, Fly FS517 Cirrus 11, Fly FS527 Nimbus 17 and Leagoo M9.
