30 best smartphones of 2023 in terms of price and quality
Contents:
• 2022 is the time when the smartphone market revived after the pandemic and pleased us with various interesting gaming and budget innovations.
And for those who want to choose a mobile phone, I have prepared smartphone rating 2023 for price and quality, each of which is a bestseller in its field – whether it's an economy option or the most sophisticated flagship.
30. TECNO Pova 4/4 Pro – the most beautiful budget smartphones
- Screen 66″/6.82″ IPS/AMOLED 90 Hz
- Built-in memory 128/256 GB
- Memory: 8 GB
- Number of cameras: 2
- Battery 6000 mAh
- Processor: MediaTek Helio G99
• The characteristic design features of the Pova 4 and its improved version Pro are broken lines and a geometric pattern in the style of the Widmanstetten structure (yes, I also only learned about it after the release of this smartphone). This structure is usually referred to to refer to the figures or patterns that occur when iron meteorites are sawn and etched with acid.
• There are three colors to choose from – uranolite gray, magma orange and fluorite blue.
• The main differences between the two smartphones are in resolution and matrix. The regular Pova 4 was given a 6.82″ IPS display with a resolution of 1640×720 and a refresh rate of 90Hz, while the Proshka received an AMOLED matrix with a high resolution of 2400×1080 and the same 90Hz.
• Even the younger version has less internal memory, 128 GB versus 256 GB for the Pro. And charging is not as powerful – 18 watts, not 45 watts.
• Otherwise, the characteristics of the models are identical. There is a separate slot for a memory card, NFC, stereo speakers – in general, everything that you expect to find in a good smartphone up to 25. At the same time, the price of TECNO's new products is quite humane. Pova 4 can be found on sale for 15 rubles, and Pro – for 000.
• The bundle did not let us down either, there is a solid silicone case that does not hide the beauty of the smartphone and at the same time reliably protects the back and has high sides to protect the camera and screen.
Pros and consgaming capabilities for an affordable price heats up weakly even under load there is an opportunity to expand the RAM due to virtual (internal) memorycapacious battery mediocre camerahard to find a case29. OPPO Find X5 Pro is the best OPPO flagship
- Screen: 6.7″ (3216×1440) AMOLED 120Hz
- Memory: Built-in 256 GB, RAM 12 GB
- Photo: 3 cameras, main 50 MP
- Battery 5000 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1
• When the flagship market begins to feel like the consumer is a pendulum swinging dutifully between Apple's latest iPhone and Samsung's latest Galaxy, you can rely on Chinese brands like Oppo to offer impressive and affordable alternatives.
• The Find X5 is one such device, with the powerful Snapdragon 888 processor delivering performance that rivals other flagship models.
• The stunning AMOLED screen offers exceptional color accuracy and smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
• Find X5 can easily be used throughout the day. Most likely, the smartphone will work for the second day with moderate use. When it runs out, the included 80W fast charger will restore it to 100% in just 40 minutes.
Pros and consperformancedesignvery smooth display of dynamic contentprice28. Infinix ZERO X PRO – a smartphone with space design
- Screen: 6.67″ (2400×1080) AMOLED 120Hz
- Built-in memory: 128/256 GB
- Memory: 8 GB
- Number of cameras: 3
- Battery 4500 mAh
- Processor: MediaTek Helio G95
• The novelty of smartphones in 2023 is made in 3 colors: Starry silver, Tuscany brown and Nebula black. The latter pleases with a truly cosmic design. The back cover is made of double glass using high-precision nanolithography.
• You rarely see an AMOLED screen with a refresh rate of 25 Hz in the category under 000 rubles, and an under-screen fingerprint scanner, but the ZERO X PRO has it. The display brightness is high – 120 nits according to the manufacturer, and 700 nits according to measurements. And the oleophobic coating is good.
• There is a lot of built-in memory, besides, it can be expanded by installing a memory card in a separate slot. But the NFC module was “regretted”. A trifle, but unpleasant.
• A separate mention is worthy of the main camera at 108 MP, and with optical stabilization in addition. Pictures are highly detailed when shot at the default 12 MP resolution (with the function of combining every 9 pixels into 1). If you use all 120 MP, then the picture will be “noisy”, and they will weigh, on average, 50 MB each. I also note the presence of 5x optical zoom in 8 MP telephoto cameras. The third camera is an 8MP ultra-wide camera with a 120˚ field of view.
• In general, Infinix ZERO X PRO is a beautiful, well-made and balanced smartphone in all respects, which will appeal to both fans of mobile photography and gamers. On medium and low settings, any modern game will run quickly and without jamming.
Pros and cons good photo quality when shooting at 12 MP 45 W fast charging screen without visible flicker and with a high refresh rate one speaker no NFC27. Nothing Phone (1) – the most original smartphone
- Screen: 6.55″ (2400x1080) OLED 120Hz
- Built-in memory: 256 GB / 128 GB
- RAM: 8GB/12GB
- Dual camera: 50MP/50MP
- Battery 4500 mAh
- Processor: Snapdragon 778G+
• This smartphone made the list not because it has great specs (it has a mid-range Snapdragon 778G+ chip), but because of its attractive design and adequate price.
• Nothing Phone is almost pure Android, has fast and wireless charging options, and the manufacturer has not forgotten about the NFC module. The main camera has optical stabilization and can record 4K video at 30 fps.
• The Phone 1 may look like an iPhone, but the Glyph LED, visible through the clear glass on the back, shows it's not a clone. It can be configured depending on the activities – calls, sms, etc. The effect, of course, is WOW, but, according to user reviews, it disappears after a few days.
Pros and cons case is waterproof to IP53 standard bright OLED screen with HDR10 + and high refresh rate (but not dynamic) glossy protective film from the factory without a slot for a memory card heats up from any load26. Google Pixel 6a – Google's Best Compact Camera Phone
- Screen: 6.13″ (2400x1080) OLED 60Hz
- Memory: Built-in 128 GB, RAM 6 GB
- Photo: dual camera, main 12.2 MP
- Battery 4410 mAh
- Processor: Google Tensor
• Starting at Rs 30, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better value for money phone. The simplified version of the Pixel 000 is fast, and perfectly demonstrates how good Google is at handling images.
• The Pixel 6a comes with the same Tensor chip and is made from the same combination of metal and glass as the Pixel 6, has an improved tactile feel and an IP67 dust and water resistance rating. A good processor and 6 GB of RAM allow you to play resource-intensive games like Genshin Impact or Diablo Immortal, but not at the highest settings.
• The camera system in this model is cut down compared to the "six":
- Wide-angle lens: 12,2MP f/1,7 (not 50MP).
- Ultra wide lens: 12MP f/2.2.
- Selfie Lens: 8MP f/2.0.
• But the difference in photographic quality between the 6a and 6 in terms of color temperature, brightness and contrast is not very noticeable. Detail is another matter, with the Pixel 6's sensor capturing finer details and producing slightly more natural portraits.
• The OLED screen has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 and supports HDR content. The fingerprint sensor in the Pixel 6a is built into the screen. It is worth noting that the display refresh rate is only 60 Hz, not 90 or 120 Hz, while many competitors under 30 rubles have already surpassed the Pixel 000a in this regard.
Pros and cons loud and clear sound good autonomy – one and a half to two days there is a fast charge excellent photo quality no wireless charging25. ASUS Zenfone 9 is the most powerful compact Android smartphone
•
- Screen: 5.9″ (2400×1080) AMOLED 120Hz
- Memory: Built-in 256 GB, RAM 8 GB
- Photo: dual camera, main 50 MP
- Battery 4300 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
• It's funny that a phone with a 5,9-inch screen is currently considered "small", but that's the way it is. While many phone makers seem to have settled on a 6,1-inch ideal screen size, Asus is making the Zenfone 9 smaller without sacrificing performance.
• The screen, camera, and battery life are good enough to handle pretty much everything the phones are used for. Add to this the call recording by default, the presence of a 3.5 mm mini jack and you will get a smartphone that is balanced both in terms of hardware and software.
Pros and cons compact IP68 case protection rating there is fast charging optical stabilization of the main camera24. OUKITEL WP19 – smartphone with the most capacious battery
- Screen: 6,78″ (2400×1080)
- Built-in memory: 256 GB
- Memory: 8 GB
- Three cameras: 64MP/20MP/2MP
- Battery: 21000 mAh
- Processor: MTK helio G95
• OUKITEL introduced a smartphone with the most powerful battery – 21000 mAh. The manufacturer promises that the device will be able to work a week without recharging. It comes with a 27W charger that fully charges the WP19 in 4 hours. But if this is too long for you, you can limit yourself to an hour of charging, and this will allow the smartphone to work all day.
• Of course, only a large and weighty case can accommodate such a battery. If necessary, this smartphone can fight off enemies, it weighs 485 g.
• The OUKITEL WP19 is IP68 dust and water resistant and MIL-STD-810G rated.
• Otherwise, the characteristics of the novelty do not reach its high price on Aliexpress, where it costs a little more than 60. MediaTek Helio G95 4G processor, there is support for memory cards (you will have to sacrifice one of the SIM cards), the screen supports a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The rear camera consists of a 64MP main lens, a 20MP night vision camera, and a 2MP macro lens. On the front is a 16 MP selfie camera.
Pros and cons have NFC bluetooth 5.0 latest android 12 price weight23. OnePlus Nord 2T 5G – All-rounder with 5G
- Screen: 6.43″ (2400×1080) AMOLED 90Hz
- Memory: built-in 128/256 GB, operational 8/12 GB
- Photo: 3 cameras, main 50 MP
- Battery 4500 mAh
- Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 1300
• While the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G isn't a huge leap over its predecessor, it's still a great phone with the perfect balance between price and features. With one of the latest Mediatek chipsets and 8GB or 12GB of RAM, the Nord 2T outperformed most of its competitors in Expert Reviews' tests, trailing only the iPhone SE 3 (2022) .
• AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate allows you to smoothly display dynamic content and switch between applications. While the phone doesn't have an official IP rating, Gorilla Glass 5 covers both the front and back of the phone, enhancing the phone's durability and giving it an overall luxurious feel.
• Add to that the excellent photo and video quality and impressive battery life, and you have an outstanding all-round phone that's good for both entertainment and work.
Pros and cons NFC stereo speaker factory already has a protective film on it no memory expansion option no wireless charging22. Xiaomi POCO F4 – smartphone with Dolby Vision and OIS
- Screen: 6.67″ (2400×1080) AMOLED 120Hz
- Memory: built-in 128/256 GB, operational 6/8 GB
- Photo: 3 cameras, main 64 MP
- Battery 4500 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G
• Extremely slim (7,7mm) and stylish, the F4 offers Dolby Vision for better video streaming, a larger (than its predecessor) 64MP main camera with OIS, and 67W fast charging that can fully charge the battery in about 38 minutes.
• Performance remains on par with similarly priced models. The Snapdragon 870 processor is made using a 7nm process technology, is not too hot and can handle any game at maximum speed.
• AMOLED display with a dynamic refresh rate of 120Hz and a touch sampling rate of 360Hz is responsive to touch. It is protected by scratch and drop resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
Pros and consincludes Type-C to 3,5mm headphone adapterclear and high-quality sound from stereo speakershigh performancegood camerascannot expand memory storage21. Vivo Y31 is the best-selling Vivo smartphone
- Screen 6,58″ (2408×1080) IPS 60 Hz
- Built-in memory: 64/128 GB
- Memory: 4 GB
- 3 cameras: 48MP/2MP/2MP
- Battery: 5000 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 662
• A smartphone with an eight-core Snapdragon 662 processor has, if not a flagship, but quite decent performance. Any applications will open quickly, and most games will run on medium settings.
• Another feature that this phone deserves praise for is its built-in Ultra gaming mode. It allows you to play without being distracted by notifications, and even slightly improves performance.
• The manufacturer protects the eyes of users, so the smartphone has the function of filtering blue radiation.
• A full charge of the device takes no more than an hour and 50 minutes thanks to the 18W charger.
• vivo Y31 boasts a triple rear camera setup with a 48MP main lens. Best of all, the smartphone copes with shooting in broad daylight or in good lighting conditions. But at dusk, the camera “loses” detail, and images may look grainy. But in the night mode there are filter functions (and even a Cyberpunk filter).
Pros and consNFC separate slot for a microSD card bright screen with good color reproduction included case and protective film (applied to the screen) the fingerprint scanner is conveniently located on the side in dim lighting the camera shoots mediocre20. Samsung Galaxy A03 – the best budget smartphone under 10000 rubles
- Screen 6.5″ (1600×720) TN 60 Hz
- Built-in memory: 32 GB
- Memory: 2 GB
- Camera: 8 MP
- Battery: 5000 mAh
- Processor: Unisoc SC9863A
• The top of the best smartphones in 2023 is opened by a solid state employee, which you can give your child to school or keep yourself as a “dialer”.
• The 6.5″ TFT LCD PLS display is not too bright, but not dim either – it is comfortable to read in daylight.
• You should not expect gaming performance from the Galaxy A03, the Unisoc SC9863A chipset will allow you to play only undemanding games, but the interface is smooth, and the device does not slow down in applications.
• The body of the Galaxy A03 does not heat up, and the battery capacity is enough for a couple of days of active work. But there is no fast charging in this device.
• The main 8 MP camera does not protrude from the body. Its capabilities are quite enough for photographing documents, or shooting well-lit objects. But with photo and video shooting at dusk there will be problems due to poor detail.
Pros and consSeparate slot for a memory card up to 1TBLap-capacity batteryComfortable in the hand even without a caseOutdated Micro USB connectorNo fast chargingNo NFC19. Realme 9i is the best new smartphone in 2022 today

• The Realme 9i features a 6,6-inch display with a maximum brightness of 480 nits and a peak refresh rate of 90Hz. The latter can dynamically change depending on the content being viewed.
• Inside the device is a 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor, which provides good gaming performance – Genshin Impact can be played without lags with low graphics settings. However, the phone gets slightly warm during heavy use.
• Realme 9i has a 5000mAh battery and weighs 190g, which is quite acceptable. In the kit you get a 33W charger.
• According to the owners of the novelty, the main camera (consists of a 50 MP main lens, black and white and a macro lens) works perfectly out of the box. Photos taken in daylight have medium dynamic range and look natural, although zooming in may show lower detail, especially in shadows.
• When taking photos in bright conditions, the phone automatically turns on HDR and manages exposure well. Unfortunately, there is no ultra wide-angle camera.
Pros and cons stereo sound nice Stereo Prism design is very energy efficient, it will work for about two days with intensive use there is NFC there is no video stabilization, maybe this will be fixed in software updates18. Infinix Hot 11S – the best smartphone under 15000 rubles

• Despite the lack of an ultra wide-angle lens, the triple camera on the back of the HOT 11 captures good quality shots with plenty of detail and good exposure control.
Pros and cons NFC works flawlessly 90 Hz screen with juicy and bright colors in the kit there is a silicone case you can install 2 SIM cards + a memory card many pre-installed applications stereo speakers lack volume and low frequencies17. Xiaomi Redmi 9T NFC is a smartphone with a good battery

- Memory: 4 GB
- 4 cameras: 48 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP, 2 MP
- Battery: 6000 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 662
• Do you want to buy a budget smartphone that looks expensive and stylish? It's Redmi 9T NFC – thanks to the textured back.
• In addition to the design, the smartphone boasts a Full HD + display with good color reproduction, stereo speakers, a separate slot for a memory card and a fingerprint scanner conveniently built into the power button.
• But the main advantage of this model over competitors in the same price range is a powerful battery. This, combined with 18W fast charging, allows the smartphone to last up to 4 days with moderate use.
• Redmi 9T has a quad camera module:
- the main one with a 48-megapixel sensor and autofocus,
- 8 megapixel ultra wide angle 120 degree field of view,
- 2 megapixel macro lens,
- 2 megapixel TOF lens.
• As for the pictures, they are quite decent. The phone does have dynamic range issues, especially when you're shooting in strong backlight, but that's to be expected at this price point.
• Redmi 9T is powered by Qualcomm's budget 11nm Snapdragon 662 processor paired with Adreno 610 GPU. Games run at comfortable fps on medium to low settings.
• By the way, if you do not need NFC, then there is a version of Redmi 9T without it, and it costs a little less.

- RAM: 6/8 GB
- 4 cameras: 48 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP, 2 MP
- Battery: 5160 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 860
• If someone asked me my opinion on the best smartphone to date, the Poco X3 Pro would be the first to come to mind.
• It has an optimal set of characteristics for the average user – there is an NFC chip for contactless payments, and a large, juicy display with Corning Gorilla Glass 6, a refresh rate of 120 Hz (and a sampling rate of 240 Hz), a powerful processor, and a capacious battery.
• This is one of the few smartphones in our ranking, costing less than 25 rubles, on which you can comfortably play demanding games on mobile hardware, such as Genshin Impact (at medium settings) or Call of Duty: Mobile (at maximum).
• You can install a memory card in your smartphone, but you will have to sacrifice one of the SIM card slots. There is such a rarity as an event indicator.
• You can take great pictures with the main camera (Sony IMX582 sensor) when there is enough light indoors or outdoors. The colors mostly match the original, which is nice.
Pros and cons with the help of fast charging, the smartphone is fully charged in an hour; the case is protected from splashes; the silicone case in the kit does not get very hot even in games;15. Honor 50 is the best smartphone price / quality 2022

- RAM 8/6 GB
- 4 cameras: 108 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP, 2 MP
- Battery: 4300 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 5G
• The release from Huawei has given Honor an opportunity to mend broken ties, especially when doing business with Western companies. Now, the independent brand has renewed partnerships with Google and Qualcomm, continuing to deliver smartphones with the software and hardware that most people adore.
• The return of the Google Play Market will certainly make the Honor 50 one of the most popular smartphones of 2023 in the price / quality ratings. In addition, the gadget supports 5G connectivity thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G chipset, built on TSMC's 6-nanometer process technology. And any mobile game will run on it without freezing, at medium and high graphics settings.

• The photos taken by the Honor 50 are color accurate even when you use XNUMXx zoom. With a lack of light, the image still remains detailed, thanks to a good night mode.

• With its luxurious Amoled, fast charging that fully charges a smartphone in 1 hour and a fast processor, OPPO Reno 6 quickly won the hearts of Russian users.

The picture is bright, with good color reproduction, without overexposure, and with high-quality elaboration of shadows.
• Although the Snapdragon 720G processor is weak for the price of 30 rubles, it is enough to work with demanding applications and games with high FPS on medium and low graphics settings. In addition, there is an optimized AI setting to prevent fps drops.
• Add to this a rich bundle – a silicone case, a film and headphones, and you will get, if not the coolest smartphone of 2023, then certainly one of them.

- Built-in memory: 256 GB, 128 GB
- RAM: 8 GB, 6 GB
- 4 cameras: 64 MP, 12 MP, 8 MP, 5 MP
- Battery: 5000 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G
• This model carries on board everything that Samsung phones are famous for – a bright Super AMOLED screen with a built-in fingerprint scanner, a capacious battery with 25W fast charging. But its main advantage is the camera.
• According to Samsung, the 8MP 3x telephoto lens on the Galaxy A72 is the same sensor found on the Galaxy S20 FE. It's capable of 30x digital zoom, and the image quality is similar to what the S20 FE offers: in the right lighting, you get good results up to 10x zoom.
• The Galaxy A72 also has a macro camera, so it's technically a phone that can capture both objects that are very close and those that are really far away from the photographer.
Pros and cons screen with excellent color reproduction fast processor one of the best cameras in the price range up to 40 rubles loud sound IP000 moisture and dust protection12. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the best folding screen smartphone

- Battery: 3300 mAh
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 888
• If you have long dreamed of buying a smartphone that will attract enthusiastic attention, then this is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. This is a very original design participant in the rating-review of smartphones in 2023.
• Experts from various specialized publications positively assess the build quality of this device, which could not be said about previous foldable top devices. According to the manufacturer, the device will withstand up to 200 folding.
• The biggest problem with the design of the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the awkward placement of the side-mounted fingerprint scanner, which sits a little higher than it should when the phone is open.
• The main display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G received a 6,7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x panel with a frequency of 120 Hz. Picture quality on this phone is as fantastically bright and smooth as other top Samsung models. And with the help of an external 1.9” Super AMOLED screen, you can track calls, SMS, and use applications and widgets without opening the gadget.
• The Z Flip3 has a total of three cameras, and it's unlikely you'll need more. The smartphone has two 12-megapixel lenses – a standard wide-angle and an ultra-wide angle. The photo module on the main display has a resolution of 10 megapixels. While some reviews complain that the Flip lacks a bit of dynamic range, the photos come out bright and detailed even in low light.
• The Z Flip3 5G is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, so forget about stuttering in games – not with this smartphone.
Pros and cons clear and loud sound from stereo speakers there is fast charging 15 W there is wireless charging high performance no memory card slot short battery life – less than a day slippery without a case11. Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is the best big screen smartphone

- Stereo speakers.
- Headphone jack.
- Separate slot for memory cards.
- Instant fingerprint scanner in the power button.
- Built-in call recording function (with notification of the interlocutor).
- Ability to make contactless payments.
• It's not a flagship, but all things considered, it's a bright and cost-effective alternative for almost a third of the price of a flagship smartphone.
• In terms of performance, the Note 10 Pro will handle any demanding apps and games, though I recommend setting it to medium settings to get the best performance.
• Pictures taken by the main 108 MP camera are detailed even in shadows, objects are not overexposed, and in general the quality of photos and videos is even better than you might expect from a mid-range camera. But there is no optical stabilization, only electronic.

- RAM: 4/6 GB
- Cameras: 50 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP, 2 MP
- Battery: 5000 mAh
- Processor: MediaTek Helio G88
• Rarely is the heart of an ordinary buyer so pleased as the words "best" and "budget" used together. The Xiaomi Redmi 10 has every reason to be one: it has a solid 5000mAh battery, a 90Hz display, and an NFC chip (but there is a version without it).
• The MediaTek Helio G88 chipset will handle even such a demanding game as Genshin Impact, albeit at the minimum graphics settings.
• The quad camera is also like the “large” ones – the main module is 50 MP, wide-angle 8 MP, ultra-wide 2 MP, macro 2 MP. There is an 8 MP selfie camera (no autofocus, 30 fps video). They shoot quite decently, it will not be a shame to put the photo on Instagram.
• The speakers did not let us down either – the manufacturer awarded the smartphone with a full-fledged stereo. There is also a fast and accurate fingerprint scanner – well, what could be better for the money?
