As a rule, the pursuit of the best leads to great costs. This applies to everything, including mobile devices. You need to pay literally for everything: for the brand, high functionality, as well as a large and bright display. But ... there are always exceptions to the rules. And below will be presented good budget smartphones that have good features, boast low cost and a large bright screen. So, we present the rating of budget devices.
ASUS Zenfone 6
This smartphone has a six-inch display, protected by GG3 glass, high performance and affordable price. Well, in this case, you should start with him the rating of the best budget smartphones. 
In addition to protection against damage, there are anti-reflective and oleophobic coatings. Hiding under a huge display are: a 2-core Intel Atom, a PowerVR SGX544 video chip, and 2 GB of RAM. 16 GB has been allocated for storing multimedia data, but this volume can always be increased.
The device has a 13-megapixel camera with built-in flash and a huge number of settings to improve the quality of pictures. By the way, the photos are good even in low light. And all this is enough for Asus Zenfone 6 worth 15,000 rubles to head the top of the best budget smartphones.
Microsoft Lumia 640 XL Dual Sim
There is also a bright large display (5.8 inches), a good processor (Qualcomm 400), a fairly capacious battery (3000 mAh) and even the ability to install two SIM cards. Only this device works on OS Windows Phone and, probably, is the only model from Microsoft, where such characteristics are adjacent to a low price (about 14,000 rubles).
Only a practically six-inch display protected by third-generation Gorilla Glass is not the only feature of this model. There are two cameras - the main and front, having a resolution of 13 and 5 megapixels, respectively. Further, the smartphone is "familiar" with the technology of wireless high-frequency communications (NFC), two slots for SIM cards and the Office 365 application with a free annual subscription.
Like many mobile devices of the Lumia series, this model is available in bright matte cases made of decent plastic. In general, this is the best budget smartphone, at least in the performance of the American company Microsoft.
Lenovo S930
Lenovo of Chinese origin already has some experience in creating smartphones with a large screen, although not all of them are budget models. But this device still got into the rating, which considers good budget smartphones. And that's why.
So, Lenovo S930 is a bright and clear 6-inch screen, 4-core MediaTek, 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of free space. Its performance is enough to run many modern applications and games. And if there is little memory, it can be increased four times.
The main camera has an eight-megapixel module, which supports detailed settings and has many effects. The front camera is 1.6 megapixels, and this is quite enough for making video calls. The price of a smartphone is about 10,000 rubles.
Nokia Lumia 1320
Continuing to consider the best budget smartphones, you can stay on this 6-inch giant. It also belongs to devices that almost blur the boundaries between smartphones and tablets. The Nokia Lumia 1320 device is a simplified version of the 1520 model, because, apart from the large screen, nothing else unites them. It is enough to compare their prices. The budget model costs about 13,000 rubles, and this is at least half the price.
Inside the smartphone work: 2-core Snapdragon S4, Andreno 305 video chip, 1 GB of random access memory and 8 GB of storage. Due to this, it works quickly and smoothly. And this distinguishes it from many devices at a similar price.
Although it is not for lovers of high-quality shooting, the main module is 5 megapixels, and the front one is just some 0.3 megapixels. True, they start and focus quickly. There are also interesting "chamber" applications. For example, using Cinemagraph and Create Studio, you can edit photos. And Nokia Camera and Nokia Storyteller allow you to make movies from existing pictures.
Motorola Moto G (2nd gen)
The second-generation Motorola Moto G smartphone is slightly smaller than previous applicants, but it may well be considered the best budget smartphone with a large screen. And even if it has a 5-inch LCD display, for some it will be an advantage, because it will be more convenient to hold it in your hand.
But in terms of "filling," he certainly does not lag behind. And all thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 400 processor and 1 GB of RAM. To launch the most demanding applications, this may not be enough, but the model is not flagship. Moreover, of the presented devices, only the Zenfone line has higher performance.
As for the cameras, there is nothing unusual here. Given the cost of a smartphone, it probably shouldn't be. The camera on the back cover (8 megapixels) is quite good, although it does not have any special features. The price of a smartphone is up to 12,000 rubles.
ASUS Zenfone GO
And here is another Zenfone from Asus, and there’s nothing to be surprised at. After all, the devices included in this line have always attracted customers with a successful combination of price and quality. In their design, of course, there is little unusual, but what is inside can compete with many devices in the corresponding price category.
Its body is made of plastic, but it is worth noting high-quality, so it is very nice to hold it in your hands. The assembly also has no complaints - there are no backlashes and creaks.
True, holding this device in hands is pleasant not only because of its shape and body materials. Its bright five-inch screen with excellent color reproduction gives a clear image that is clearly visible even in bright sunlight.
Adds joy and hardware "filling" of the device. High performance directly depends on the powerful MediaTek processor and 2 GB of RAM. And it's not scary that the memory for storing data is only 8 GB. Like all good budget smartphones, this one has an additional slot that allows you to increase it by 8 times.
It remains to talk about the 8-megapixel module of the main camera with autofocus and a 2000 mAh battery, thanks to which the smartphone can "live" for almost a whole day. From 9,000 to 10,000 rubles will be asked for such good.
INEW L4
Not everyone probably heard about the Chinese brand INEW, but there is one and it is engaged in the production of smartphones. One of the latest Inew L4 models has a large screen and low cost, and since all the conditions are met, it has a place in the list where the best budget smartphones are collected.
In terms of design, the device already outperforms many of its competitors. We are talking about the back cover, which is made in the style of Samsung Galaxy Note 3, only Korean devices can not be called budget.
The smartphone’s display has a diagonal of 5.6 inches, and its sensor perceives up to five touches simultaneously. It is protected by GG 3 glass and has a fairly high brightness, so the image is clearly visible even in bright sunshine.
The 4-core MediaTek, which has a 64-bit architecture, a Mali T720 graphics processor and 1 GB of RAM, is responsible for performance. The interface works smoothly, while performing everyday tasks, there were no “brakes” or freezes.
The smartphone supports 4G connection, Bluetooth 4.0 protocol and has two slots for SIM cards. But its most important feature is a mega-capacious 5000 mAh battery. And this is not an exaggeration, according to the test results, everything is in order with the battery life. And given the presence of two cameras (13 and 5 megapixels) and a cost of up to 11,000 rubles, we can safely say that this smartphone is just a godsend.
Lenovo K3 Music Lemon
To complete the rating, which includes the best budget smartphones, one bright smartphone, only from the Chinese company Lenovo. For a modest cost (about 9,000 rubles) Lenovo K3 Music Lemon demonstrates immodest capabilities. You should start with the fact that, according to the name, the device is sold in yellow. Although over time, a black and white version appeared.
The smartphone communicates with the user through a five-inch display. And thanks to OGS technology, the screen has excellent viewing angles.
In terms of performance, the applicant for the title of “Best Budget Smartphone” is no different from previous models. Most applications will start free. So it is better to look at the multimedia capabilities of Lenovo K3.
For starters, the Apollo audio player with an advanced equalizer is installed here. Good audibility from the spoken speaker is also noted, and the main speakers have full stereo sound. High and low frequencies are perfectly audible. When playing powerful compositions, there are no extraneous sounds and wheezing. We can say that in terms of sound performance, the smartphone is somewhere at the level of portable acoustics.
