    I have a smartphone in 2014, in principle, it is outdated in all respects, but it will fulfill its main function: calls, SMS, social networks, and so on. In general, I see no reason to buy a smartphone above 15,000 rubles. This year I’m going to update my phone and I’ll definitely take it no more)

      You see, rugged smartphones are good in their environment, for the same price other models will always be better in hardware and software. I know a couple of good models, even excellent ones, but the problem is that with the same price category, if we discard their strength, they will lose anyway.

      Yes, the model is good, it captivates with security and a screen, there are more pluses besides this and there is no brand. You are right to some extent, I should have thought I should add it)

    I was absolutely not surprised that Xiaomi phones are in the top phones, I even guessed x) before reading the article. I think that it is fully deserved. In terms of price-quality ratio, phones of this model, of course, occupy first places in all tops: good "internal" qualities; good camera; fingerprint scanner in almost all models; another featurewhich can be found in some phones: the sound is transmitted not through the speakers, but through the vibration of the screen! Custom solution, right? And all this can be purchased at more or less affordable prices (and xiaomi has both budget and “not quite” budget smartphones)

      I agree, the Chinese are so carried away that they clone themselves. My doji mix 2 is a copy of my mix, but everywhere they say that it surpassed the original!

    Of all the phones listed, I will give my preference to Meizu M6 Note, because I have the same one. Qualcomm processor - finally! Now we will catch up and overtake all those who are behind in performance. The button in the middle, as it is lacking in Xiaomi Redmi, but it is here. The camera is average. Photos in the evening turn out a little blurred. In the hand, the smartphone is wonderful and without a case. The quality of communication and the Internet is on top.

    I like Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x, a smart, good camera, and it works like a clock, but when using Skype or watching a video, it gets very hot. About the battery - it seems to me that it is holding decently.

    I think it makes sense to look at such budget options for excellent smartphones from leading manufacturers. The only and most important minus in this is a large number of low-quality crafts.

    I have been using Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x for half a year now and as for me in this rating, he is the undisputed winner. But in general, the Chinese phones Xiaomi and Mezu for this money can easily compete with the top models of well-known brands.
