Video review of HTC Desire 820
Pros and cons of HTC Desire 820
- good sound of multimedia speakers;
- separate slots for SIM-cards.
- there is no 4G support;
- outdated OS version;
- large frames.
Perhaps the most popular product is phones under 15 thousand with a good camera. This price category is the most optimal for those who do not pursue fashion and prestige, but dream of a high-quality and powerful smartphone. Manufacturers of smart technology have a lot to offer their customers.
Smartphone Acer Liquid Z630
The Acer company is better known for the production of high-quality computer equipment. Fans of the Taiwanese manufacturer should be pleased with the Liquid Z630 smartphone. The gadget is large enough due to the impressive size of the screen (5.5 inches), which occupies almost the entire front panel. 16 GB internal, of course, is not the most solid indicator, but the possibility of using a flash card will solve the problem. But the 4000 mAh battery looks very attractive. When operating in moderate mode, you can count on 2-3 days of operation without charging.
Cameras are of particular interest. Both the front and the main ones have 8 megapixels. Of course, for mainstream optics, this is a very mediocre figure. But if you need phones up to 15 thousand with a good selfie camera, you will like this option. Fans of the brand will appreciate the large number of branded apps that come out of the box.
The main complaints are related to the design. The device looks a bit cumbersome. The earpiece has an unusual round shape, which cannot be called stylish. The bottom frame is almost completely occupied by the corporate logo, although it would be more reasonable to place the control keys on it.
Smartphone LG G4s H736
LG G4s H736 is a pretty good phone under 15k. This device has 2 main advantages - an interesting "space" design and a powerful processor with as many as 8 cores. A high-quality screen demonstrates a juicy picture. The main camera produces good quality photos. Nevertheless, it falls short of other devices in its price category.
If you are planning to purchase this unit, you should be aware of such shortcomings:
- the amount of RAM is only 1.5 GB;
- the internal volume is sorely lacking, and the device supports flash cards of no more than 32 GB, which will not be enough for an advanced user who likes to take a lot of photos, listen to music and watch videos;
- a 2300 mAh battery cannot provide a long operating time without being connected to a charger;
- when installing updates to the operating system, the phone starts to "slow down" noticeably.
ZenFone 3 Max
Considering phones up to 15 thousand with a good camera, one cannot pass by ASUS ZenFone 3 Max. Another Taiwanese computer manufacturer is confidently conquering the smartphone market. The device runs on the 6th version of the Android OS and is equipped with a large 5.2-inch screen. With such parameters, the 4130 mAh battery promises decent autonomy.
The main 13-megapixel camera takes pretty good pictures. The color rendition is good, the results are decent even in low light. But you should not expect miracles from the 5-megapixel front camera. An additional advantage will be the presence of a fingerprint scanner.
In terms of design, it is laconic and sophisticated. But it is worth noting the irrational use of the front panel. Instead of placing the control buttons on the bottom edge, they were brought out to the screen. But the location of the volume control button on the side edge, in contrast to many smartphones of this manufacturer, in which this element is located on the back panel, cannot but rejoice.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro smartphone
If you want the best camera, a phone up to 15k 2016 will be able to meet your needs. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro is one of the brightest representatives of its price segment. Last year, this model became the most popular in Russia, as well as in the Asian market. The sophisticated design and large screen will leave no one indifferent.
One of the main features is the main 16MP camera. 32 GB is provided for storing high-quality images. 3 GB RAM ensures smooth operation. The picture is complemented by a 4050 mAh battery, which will provide a pretty decent autonomy.
Huawei Ascend P6 Smartphone
Phones up to 15 thousand with a good camera and stylish design are produced by Huawei. The Ascend P6 is a great gadget for those who love minimalism, as its screen is quite small (4.7 inches). Despite the fact that the main camera is 8 megapixels, it takes pretty decent pictures. The 2000 mAh battery looks a bit modest.
The manufacturer has focused on stylish design. The metal body looks elegant and expensive. However, this is not the most productive gadget in its price range. If you are looking for a powerful and functional smartphone, you can find more attractive options for a similar price.
Lenovo Vibe X2 Smartphone
Good phones within 15 thousand are offered to customers by the firm has a bright attractive design, but its main advantage is, of course, the "filling". The 8-core processor ensures fast and smooth operation. The main 13-megapixel camera captures gorgeous images that you can view on a high-quality 5-inch display. The 13 GB built-in memory is good news.
But not without its drawbacks. The 2300 mAh battery is barely enough for 1.5 days of moderate use. In addition, the device starts to get very hot even at low load. The stylish, bright case is assembled very poorly, and therefore begins to creak after a couple of months of operation.
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) smartphone
Good phones up to 15 thousand are offered to their loyal fans (2016) - this is one of the most popular models of the past year. Speaking about the advantages of the device, users note the following points:
- elegant design, not inferior to flagship devices;
- metal frame;
- main 13-megapixel camera;
- LED illumination of the front camera;
- separate slot for a flash card;
- powerful 3100 mAh battery;
- the ability to set the maximum brightness level with one click for good visibility in sunny weather;
- the latest version of the Android OS.
Of course, there were some drawbacks. So, the manufacturer decided to equip the updated version of the smartphone with an old processor. This affects the speed of work. The absence of a light sensor forces the user to adjust the brightness level on their own. Missing event indicator is missing. Another unpleasant moment for photo lovers will be the lack of voice control of the camera.
ZTE Blade X9 LTE smartphone
Excellent phones within 15 thousand are offered by ZTE. Blade X9 LTE belongs to the tablet category. The huge screen has FullHD resolution, which provides a vibrant and vibrant picture. The modern processor provides excellent video playback quality and makes it possible to install "heavy" games. Both the main and front cameras (respectively, 13 and 5 megapixels) give excellent images at the output.
Smartphone Apple iPhone 4S (8 GB)
Many people mistakenly believe that among the "apple" gadgets it is impossible to find phones with a good camera up to 15 thousand. The only model that has already migrated to the budget category is the Apple iPhone 4S (8 GB). Of course, by today's standards, this device has a too small screen (3.5 inches) and 512 MB of RAM looks unconvincing.
Considering the fact that the device was released in 2011, 8 GB of memory is pretty good. And the 8-megapixel camera gives great pictures at the output.But this option is suitable only for those for whom it is fundamentally important to have the coveted apple-shaped logo on their smartphone. In general, paying 13-14 thousand for a device with similar indicators is extremely unreasonable.
Sony Xperia Z Smartphone
What phone to buy for 15 thousand? It is worth paying attention to the flagship models of the past. So, in 2013 was especially Sony The device is equipped with an excellent 5-inch screen with a pixel density of 441 per inch. It's even better than the iPhone 5S (326 dpi). The high-quality case is designed so that neither dust nor water will penetrate inside and will not disrupt the operation of the device.
The main advantage of the device is, of course, the 13-megapixel camera, which is one of the best on the market today. The 16x zoom allows you to shoot distant subjects with high quality. The 4-core processor and 2 GB of RAM together provide good performance. The internal memory is 16 GB. The device supports flash cards, but no more than 64 GB, which may seem insufficient for an advanced user.
For 3 years, the price of the gadget dropped from 30 to 14-15 thousand. And this is not surprising, because the 3200 mAh battery will not impress anyone. In addition, the device comes with an outdated OS version ("Android 4.2.1"). The manufacturer promises to update the software to version 4.4, but this does not allow this smartphone to be "overpriced".
Samsung Galaxy Note II smartphone
Which phone is better for 15 thousand? Many experienced users recommend taking a closer look at the models of yesteryear. So, another worthy representative of the "old guard" is the Samsung Galaxy Note II. It was released back in 2012 and immediately became megapopular. Then it cost 30 thousand, and now its price fluctuates around 15 thousand.
It was one of the first shovels with a large 5.5-inch display. The main feature of the model is the presence of a stylus, which allows you to create handwritten notes and drawings. A 4-core processor and 2 GB of RAM are in line with modern requirements. And the 3100 mAh battery provides a fairly long autonomy.
M3 Note 32Gb
If you are looking for good phones within 15 thousand, you should pay attention to Meizu M3 Note 32Gb. Despite the fact that the diagonal of the screen is 5.5 inches, the device looks quite compact and fits comfortably in the hand. The body is made of metal, which is an undoubted advantage. The 13-megapixel camera captures high-quality and clear images.
Samsung Galaxy A3 smartphone
Samsung Galaxy A3 continues to top phones in 2016 up to 15 thousand rubles. This mid-range device will suit fans of compact dimensions. The diagonal of its screen is 4.5 inches. At the same time, the metal case turned out to be quite elegant, lightweight and thin. You can easily operate the device with one hand.
Despite the fact that the cameras have a resolution of only 8 megapixels and 5 megapixels, they show quite decent results. The display, made using Super AMOLED technology, despite the modest resolution (960 by 540), demonstrates a colorful and rich picture. Only the battery let down. A full charge of the 1900 mAh battery is hardly enough for a day of moderate work.
Lenovo Vibe P1m smartphone
Lenovo Vibe P1m, despite its low price, provides users with a lot of options for work and play. So, the elegant case has a coating that protects the device from moisture. The assembly is of high quality, using durable plastic. The 5-inch screen offers bright images and wide viewing angles.
The main advantage of this device is its 4000 mAh battery. This is more than enough to work in active mode for 2 days without recharging. The main 8-megapixel camera shows good results. But you should not expect too high-quality selfies from the front 5-megapixel camera. If 16 GB of internal memory is not enough for you, you can expand it with a flash card.
