You can get acquainted with the characteristics of the models from the review in the comparative table of inexpensive stand-alone smartphones. The entire range of current mobile phone offers is presented in the corresponding section of the catalog.

Android 13 Go Edition OS, really serious autonomy.
Slow charging, one-eyed rear camera, no NFC or fingerprint scanner.

If long-term battery life is a priority on a very limited budget, the Motorola Moto E13 is perfect for the role of a long-lasting smartphone. And that's why.

Let's start with the fact that the model has a non-wasteful hardware platform consisting of an entry-level eight-core Unisoc Tiger T606 processor, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The smartphone has frankly little power, but a lightweight version of the Android 13 Go Edition OS with simplified versions of standard mobile applications is designed to potentially increase its performance. It is also famous for its approach to rational energy consumption.

In the PCMark test, the smartphone runs on a full battery charge for over 20 hours, which is a very respectable indicator. In everyday life, you will need to charge it once every 1.5 – 2 days. The model does not support accelerated charging, so the entire process takes more than 3 hours. The battery capacity “under the hood” of the smartphone is 5000 mAh.

Motorola Moto E13 is equipped with a regular IPS screen with a diagonal size of 6.5 inches and HD+ resolution, has a single 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera with a lens in the drop-shaped cutout of the display. There is no NFC chip or fingerprint scanner in the smartphone - yet we are presented with the most simple device, which they tried to make as cheap as possible.

Mediocre cameras.

The ZTE Blade V50 Vita smartphone received balanced hardware for a reasonable price. And most importantly, the model works for a long time without recharging.

The energy core of the mobile device is a 6000 mAh battery. The reserves in it are enough for 2 full days of smartphone operation. The battery is charged from an 18 W adapter. In terms of hardware, the model is equipped with an eight-core base-level Unisoc Tiger T606 chipset, 6 GB of RAM and a 128 GB drive. Separate from the two SIM slots, there is an expansion tray for a microSD card.

A 6.75-inch IPS screen with standard HD+ resolution (1600x720 pixels) stretches across the entire plane of the front panel of the smartphone. Its refresh rate has been increased to 90 Hz. On the rear, the device is equipped with a triple main camera consisting of a 50 MP main image sensor, a 2 MP macro sensor and a 2 MP auxiliary module for background blur. The model's cameras are very mediocre and produce acceptable results in bright sunlight.

The smartphone is unlocked using a fingerprint, for which a fingerprint scanner is built into the side power button. In some modifications, the device comes with an NFC chip, but its availability needs to be clarified. The model is not surprising with anything extraordinary - the ZTE Blade V50 Vita is a simple and unpretentious “working bee” for adequate money.

Fast wired charging with a power of 25 W, truly serious autonomy.
There is no NFC or fingerprint scanner, and no power adapter is included.

The Samsung Galaxy A family has a suitable mobile phone for any wallet size. Thus, the needs of budget-conscious users are fully satisfied by the A05 model.

The smartphone was released with an emphasis on ensuring accessibility for the widest possible audience. This brings up the modest characteristics of the device: a 6.5-inch PLS screen with a low resolution of 1600x720 pixels and a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz, the absence of NFC and a fingerprint scanner. In terms of all these parameters, the closest counterpart to the model in question wins - the Samsung Galaxy A05s smartphone, but it will cost a little more.

The smartphone is powered by a balanced entry-level processor MediaTek Helio G85. He can’t handle top games, but everyday tasks are easy for him. The model provides 4 GB of RAM, and the standard data storage has a capacity of 128 GB. A hybrid expansion slot for a second SIM or microSD card allows you to independently increase the volume of disk space.

Samsung Galaxy A05 looks at the world around it with two “eyes” of the 50 + 2 MP rear camera. An 8 MP selfie camera lens was placed in the teardrop-shaped “pattern” of the smartphone screen. The undeniable advantage of the model is its solid autonomy, provided by a 5000 mAh battery. In the PCMark test, the device demonstrates almost 20 hours of autonomy - in fact, the energy reserves in the battery cells are enough for 2 full days of operation under moderate loads. As a bonus, the smartphone battery supports 25-watt wired charging. You can fully charge it in an hour and a half.

Weak hardware.

In the league of affordable mobile phones , the Infinix Hot 30 Play is one of the longest-lasting devices. The key to its long-term autonomy is a 6000 mAh battery and non-gluttonous hardware.

On a full battery charge, the smartphone stays afloat for 2 – 2.5 days, and it can continuously play videos from YouTube for almost a day in a row (at medium brightness settings). Media content will be consumed on a large IPS screen with a diagonal size of 6.82 inches. The image on it is displayed at a maximum frame resolution of 1640x720 pixels. The smartphone display now supports an increased refresh rate of 90 Hz.

The weak point of the device can be called the “under-hood filling” - the model is powered by an eight-core base-level MediaTek Helio G37 processor. On paper, the chipset formally belongs to the category of gaming solutions, but the smartphone will only support simple casual games. The Infinix Hot 30 Play has 8 GB of RAM and a standard storage capacity of 128 GB. According to other sources, the smartphone is equipped with 4 GB of RAM with the possibility of software expansion up to the mentioned 8 GB - it is advisable to check this point directly with the seller of the product separately.

The photographic component of the smartphone also turned out to be modest, consisting of a dual rear camera with a 16 MP leading sensor and a front camera with a resolution of 8 MP. Photos of suitable quality can only be taken with the device’s cameras in good ambient lighting conditions. Among other things , the smartphone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and an NFC chip (only in the X6835B modification). And the model’s long-lasting battery supports slightly accelerated 18W wired charging.

Mediocre cameras.

In the budget echelon of mobile devices, compromises are often forced. A pleasant exception to this rule is the balanced Tecno Pova Neo 3 smartphone.

The back panel of the model’s body is decorated with a geometric pattern that resembles the armor elements of a kind of mechanical robot. A beveled plate with two lenses of the main camera stands out as a separate line at the back. On the face of it , the smartphone has a large IPS screen measuring 6.82 inches diagonally. The display resolution is low (1640x720 pixels), but the refresh rate has been increased to 90 Hz.

The heart of the model is the MediaTek Helio G85 mobile processor, supported by 4 GB of RAM and a built-in 128 GB storage. Tecno Pova Neo 3 calmly copes with any everyday tasks, and, if necessary, runs games on medium-minimum graphics settings. The smartphone is powered by a battery with an impressive capacity of as much as 7000 mAh - the battery needs to be charged once every 2 to 3 days. Out of the box, the device is equipped with an 18-watt power supply.

They didn’t forget to equip the smartphone with a side fingerprint sensor for fingerprint unlocking, as well as stereo speakers. The icing on the cake is the NFC chip for contactless payments in certain modifications of the device. In the segment of low-cost mobile phones, there are practically no models equal in terms of a combination of factors.
