A few years ago, smartphones were few and each company tried to develop its own model to stand out. Some options were better, some worse. Today, in fact, virtually all smartphones are not able to surprise anything and the "budget" option is often not worse than the new flagship. Therefore, if it is possible to buy a smartphone inexpensively, it should be used.

To begin with, it is worth remembering that a high-quality budget has been produced in China. And it's not bad at all - the time has passed when Chinese goods were considered to be of the lowest quality. Today many famous companies order the details for their ultra-modern and expensive smartphones in China. And China, meanwhile, produces, you can say from the same details, its own, half cheaper.

Also, you should determine how "filling" corresponds to the price. It has long been known that the newest processors and other hardware, often, is only slightly improved. And you are already offered almost a new flagship with a sky-high cost. Therefore, we first look at the processor - it is responsible for the speed of work, graphics and t. Choose models on 4 - 8 cores. Also, having learned the index of the processor, google it and find out what is the average ball of this iron in the Geekbench / Antutu test. And after you test the device you are looking at. If the results do not match, do not buy. This is also the case if the processor index is not specified - you are subverted by a substandard product.

With RAM, the situation is cheerful. 1 Gigabyte is enough for the device to work at all, you could call, send SMS, sometimes chat. You can forget about GPS. Maximum - 4 GB, and in this case you can run several applications, visit sites 3 times at a time and listen to music. Two limits are known to you, and in the center is the "golden mean" (2 and 3 GB RAM).

How much hard memory is needed? Since you are looking at state employees and are not going to store games or movies on it, then take the device to 16 GB minimum (one OS consumes about 5 GB of hard memory). 32 GB is already an opportunity to play games, and a bunch of third-party applications.

Displays even for such smart phones are good and, most that can happen - low brightness or low viewing angle. And this is not a problem. But the resolution is a problem, so take devices from 1280x720 to 1920x1080 pixels. It is not necessary any more, all the same any difference can not notice (only under a microscope).

The battery is 3200 mAh or, at least, 2800 mAh. Otherwise, you have to settle near the outlet, if you have a device on 8 cores.

And now consider that a good budget can be found for $ 100 approximately. And it will be really good.
