5 budget smartphones with NFC up to 15,000 rubles

Coolest – Oppo A5 (2020)

This is subjective, of course, but the Oppo A5 (2020) offers something that no other phone under 15 thousand offers: stereo speakers and reverse charging via OTG. Of course, NFC is also present here, but this is not the main thing.

Inside the phone there is a 5000 mAh battery, which, together with an HD resolution screen and a Snapdragon 665 processor, provides 3-4 days of operation in moderate use. It is difficult to plant a smartphone in a day; it remains stable for 2 days, even when operating in active mode. NFC is just a bonus for an excellent inexpensive phone that can replace a power bank (you need a 100-ruble OTG cable or adapter).

The disadvantage is the HD screen, but let's be honest: there is no pixelation on the matrix, you can only see the “grain” through a magnifying glass... or when a drop of water hits the screen.

Inside there is the same Snapdragon 665 processor, a 4000 mAh battery, NFC, and on the front there is an IPS screen with FHD+ resolution. And if your conscience does not allow you to take the Oppo A5 with its HD matrix, then look towards the Redmi Note 8T. But keep in mind (what follows is subjective): Xiaomi is seriously inferior in quality to Oppo in terms of build, reliability and software.

Nokia 6.2

High quality screen with high resolution.

Flaws:

Modest amount of memory.

realme 6i

Realme belongs to the same brand as Oppo - BBK Electronics, respectively, the build quality and components are no worse than Oppo A5 (2020). Moreover, Realme 6i is a new model that comes with Android 10 out of the box and will most likely be updated to Android 11.

The main feature is a 5000 mAh battery , which, with an HD screen and MediaTek Helio G80 processor, provides high autonomy: 35 hours of calls, 30 hours of web surfing or 20:55 hours of video. NFC included.

The disadvantages include the same HD screen and hot hardware from MediaTek. Still, Qualcomm chips show better stability. Plus, Realme 6i doesn’t have stereo speakers or reverse charging like Oppo A5 (2020), so it’s only in third place for now.

#5 – Nokia 3.1 Plus

Price: 13,000 rubles

Nokia 3.1 Plus boasts a good Helio P22 processor on board. Its combination with a pure version of Android 8.1 Oreo results in smooth and stable operation of the smartphone in any scenario. In addition to the presence of an NFC module, the gadget also pleases with its autonomy. So, a battery with a capacity of 3500 mAh is enough for two days of active use. Throughout this period, you will enjoy a bright and clear image on the 6-inch display with a resolution of 1440 by 720 pixels.

Among the advantages of the model is the metal body, due to which Nokia 3.1 Plus can survive a couple of falls on the asphalt. As for the disadvantages of the model, it is the meager tempered glass that should protect the screen. In fact, it doesn't even protect against scratches.

Nokia 3.1 Plus

Redmi Note 9

The new Xiaomi phone turned out to be a good option for the money. The main thing is not to be confused with Redmi Note 9S, since it does not have NFC.

What's good about Redmi Note 9:

Screen with FHD+ resolution
Has splash protection
48 MP camera + 8 MP wide-angle, shooting quality is generally good
There is NFC, a tray for 2 SIM and flash drives
5020 mAh battery that can withstand 34:52 hours of calls or 18 hours of web surfing via Wi-Fi
Fast and reverse charging like Oppo A5

The disadvantage is the MediaTek Helio G85 processor . In general, the hardware is not bad, but this is MediaTek.

Samsung Galaxy A40

Compact Korean mid-ranger, one of the few A-brand phones in this price segment. The main feature is an Amoled screen with FHD+ resolution and a diagonal of 5.9 inches. This means that the phone fits comfortably in your hand and weighs only 140 grams.

Inside there is a weak 14-nm Exynos 7904 processor, a small battery - 3100 mAh, and fast charging. In terms of power and autonomy, the device is far from the TOP, but it’s Samsung, which means you can take it.
