different "peeks" on the back of the case in Poco M4 Pro a lot, but there are only two lenses: the main ( samsung JN1) with a resolution of 50 megapixel and superwatch for 8 meters ( Sony IMX355). The viewing angle of one of the sensors is 119 degrees, which is more than enough for panoramas. There are phase autofocus, bokeh and "pro" mode. Video filming unpleasantly surprised: no even 4k, maximum for this camera - 1080p 60fps. The front module on 16 megapions also knows how to shoot in FHD, but with a frequency of 30 frames.
The entire line "Poco" has always been remembered from a good side if we talk about performance. The device operates on the SOC Dimensity 810 database from MTK. The power of the chipset with the margin is enough to start demanding games (at least on medium-low settings) and other applications, and the battery for 5000 mAh will provide 1.5-2 days of active use without recharging.
Advantages:
- Excellent ratio "Price / filling".

On the second line of the rating is located OUKITEL K9 Pro. This is a very and very compromise option for those who simply need a huge display. The manufacturer made a bet precisely on the appearance of the smartphone and the screen, the diagonal of which hardly does not reach 7 inches. Other model parameters are at an acceptable level, but do not cause delight.
The rear camera in K9 Pro is a system of 4 sensors: the main on 13 MP, wide-angle with a resolution of 5 megapixel, 2-megapixel module for the macro and the depth sensor. Arguing technically, there are all modern functions for the smartphone of this price category. However, the quality of photographs may be puzzled, especially if they are removed in conditions of insufficient light.
With the performance of things, it is not the best. The 8-core Helio P22 from MediaTek in modern realities is able to "digest" only simple applications (customers of social networks and the like). Playing on the K9 Pro will not be able to demand, the maximum is the game on the type "three in a row". This will have to pay for the biggest IPS display in our selection.
Advantages:
- Huge IPS screen.
- Basic Quad Camera.
- Works in the latest version of Android 11.

P Smart 2021 received a capacious battery, a large display with a high-definition matrix, support NFC, a quad camera and not only.
In terms of cameras, the manufacturer rarely released smartphones to the market, photos and video capabilities of which would not correspond to the stated level. The main module of 48 MP has phase autofocus and digital stabilization, and also works with an 8-megapic "width" lens for macro and a depth sensor. Given the cost, the quality of shooting on the back chamber on a good level, but the front sensor could establish better.
The performance of the 8-nuclear SOC KIRIN 710A is enough to freely use the smartphone, if you make all the "heavy" games like Pubg Mobile and others for brackets. However, if you are not confused by soap graphics on low settings, then such titles can be launched with comfort.

It is worth noting that there are two versions of the device: with a memory capacity of 4/64 or 4/128 GB. If you are not so important to the chambers, you can save 1-2 thousand rubles and take the first with a 16 megapixel main chamber (instead of 48 megapixel) and a slightly degraded front.
Photos and video features of the gadget are represented by four lenses. The main sensor with a resolution of 48 MP works in a system with a 5 meters wide-angle module (an angle of review - 115 degrees), a depth sensor and macro. In the afternoon, pictures on the main lens are good, but the night shooting expects much to be desired. There is support HDR, PDAF.
The smartphone operates on the basis of the Snapdragon 460 Snapdragon 460 single-gryl level system from Qualcomm. The chipset was represented in 2020, but to this day remains relevant if we are talking about budgetary devices. To play it is unlikely to succeed, but with the rest of the tasks there will be no problems. With autonomy everything is in order: Li-Pol battery for 5000 mAh is enough for a couple of days of use. Fast charging is not provided, but the factory adapter is quite powerful (18 W).
Advantages:
- The volume of the built-in drive.

Even the camera on paper can be impressed: 4 sensors, the main module with a resolution of 48 megapixel, video shooting in 2K 30fps. The remaining 3 lens (2 megapixel macro and depth sensors) are too weak and only perform auxiliary operation. Stabilization is absent, but there is slow motion 240fps, timelaps, night mode. Phase autofocus works clearly, and in general the main camera can pleasantly surprise.
Pova 2 running Android 11 and Helio G85 platform. Judging by the architecture of the chipset and its results in benchmarks, this is a good budget level.

Perhaps, even the Chinese "Third Echelon" have nothing that would look clearly solid for such a price.
The camera here also turned out interesting. 48-megapixel main sensor supports slow motion in 120fps, DIS (digital photo stabilization) and UIS (videos), portrait and night mode, phase autofocus. Two additional lens - depth sensor and macro. You can take a timelaps, panoramas, create live photos and not only.
Regarding the capacity and smoothness of Vivo Y31 stars from the sky is not enough, but also does not fall into the dirt face. The system works exactly to as much as the manufacturer asks for the device. The 8-nuclear Snapdragon 662 in a compartment with 4 GB of RAM of the LPDDR4X standard will be enough even for games at minimum graphic settings. However, for the gamer, the platform is hardly suitable: it is strongly susceptible to trottling.

On the back cover there is a triple camera with a main module for 50 meters. It supports phase autofocus and 10-fold digital zoom. No stabilization is missing here, but there is a mode for night shooting "Super Night". Photos with such a function are not bad, but too unnatural. The situation is much better. The remaining 2 lens is the depth sensor and "AI Lens", almost do not play any role.
"Heart" HOT 11S is the fresh one-grip Helio G88 system from MediaTek. The chipset is served by the manufacturer as a game, even supported by Hyperengine 2.0 technologies and Dar-Link Game Boost. However, if you take into account popular and demanding tales, they will be launched only on medium-low settings.

In addition, there is digital stabilization, timelaps, slow motion.
The smartphone is equipped with the "iron" of the entry level, but it is still a head higher than that of similar devices from this price segment. The 8-core Soc Tiger T700 from Unisoc with 4 GB of RAM is capable of running even the hardest games with certain graphics settings. With autonomy of problems there is also no. There is no fast charging, although it would probably be too "fat."

The first will also be more productive due to the increased amount of memory (4/64 GB), but also lay out for it for a couple of thousand more.
And although the manufacturer declared a double rear camera, only one of them really functions: a sensor on 13 megapixel. The second sensor is marked as "AI Lens", which is responsible for blurring the background in portrait mode. There are autofocus, HDR and Quad LED flash. The front lens on 8 MP is located in a drop-shaped neck and can not be able to please with good pictures: the photo is often soapy.
High performance from such a processor, like Helio G25, should not be expected. The graphics of the core here is satisfied with weak and will only be suitable for undemanding 3D games and applications. And the full charge of the battery is enough for about 1.5-2 days of active use.
Advantages:
- Separate slot for memory cards.

The device got extremely simple cameras. On the back of the case, a single 8 megapixel sensor is presented, and the front-end lens on 5 MP is located in a V-neck under the dynamic. There is no particular abundance of functions here, so the whole picture looks in general quite weak. Despite the cost, in terms of photo and video content there are models more interesting.
There are no surprises and relating to productivity. The device is equipped with an UNISOC SC9863A 8-core processor, which was announced back in 2018 and was already positioned as an entry chipset. And although this is not an energy efficient SOC, the battery in 5000 mAh will easily provide a smartphone with an energy of more than a day.
