Top Secure Push-Button Phones
Seals VR7
Rating: 4.9
Almost all mobile phones with shockproof and the waterproof case are very similar to each other. Usually they are a traditional orange candy bar, and the word that best describes them "brick". Seals VR7 is no exception to the rule. Orange The plastic here is supplemented with black rubber inserts, the main task of which is shock absorption. The location of the buttons seems the most convenient. However, some people will note too high hardness of keystrokes. Also, not everyone will like the fact that you can insert Only one SIM card. We have become accustomed to dvuhsimochnyh devices. Yes, and how Could you not give the second slot such a large device? By the way, big doesn’t mean heavy. Weight seals vr7 not exceeds 166 grams, many smartphones without any secure case are heavier. But put a small weight in the list of advantages can not. The fact is that engineers have reduced mass due to battery use, the capacity of which is only 1750 mAh. Many secure push-button telephones can operate on a single charge. almost a week - unfortunately, Seals VR7 describe these words can not be. It remains to be glad that the connection of the charger devices are not required every night - and thanks for that.
The phone book here is designed for 2000 numbers. It seems that this is enough for absolutely everyone. The remaining functions can be called standard - here you can find an alarm clock, calculator, calendar and other delights of the usual firmware. In this regard, the device is allocated against the background of competitors only by the presence of an application with a forecast weather is a really unexpected guest in a button mobile. As you can understand, the device is able to enter the Internet - EDGE networks are used for this. And here is the GPS chip. It will be useful in hiking trips, in such conditions it is useful and moisture protection of the phone according to the standards MIL-STD-810G and IP-67. Also A similar mobile phone is needed for hunting and fishing - it is during these sessions, the easiest way is to break or drown some ordinary smartphone.
The rest is a typical "button", let and with some improvements. In particular, the device is excellent copes with playing MP3 music. However the internal memory is here very few, so the songs need to throw on the card microSD (maximum supported volume - 8 GB). The picture here is displayed on a 2-inch display having a resolution of 240x320 pixels. On this screen, you can even watch the video - the manufacturer promises AVI format support. Well, on the back of the device The camera lens is located, the resolution of which is only 2 Mp. "Front-line" is not here, but it is not needed.
In short, this is one of the best push-button phones among existing today. There is even a compass! Of course, not without the introduction of a flashlight. But more only some users will love the ability to install Java applications - it is very much lacking in many modern mobile phones. It is a pity that the development and production of such a phone cost very expensive, in connection with which the device is sold in stores already for 18 thousand rubles. It's hard to imagine a person who is ready Now give that kind of money for the "button".
Virtues
- Implemented high-quality water protection;
- Java applications are supported;
- There is a slot for a memory card;
- There is a flashlight;
- There is a GPS chip;
- Internet access is possible;

teXet TM-513R
Rating: 4.8
Extremely atypical secure push-button telephone. Here too there are orange colors to see the device in water or snow, but only the central key and two narrow keys are painted strips on the sides of the front and rear panels. Also orange edging has a rear camera lens. Or just cameras, because there is no “front camera” here. not. The rest of the body is painted in gray and silver colors. In short, the apparatus due to all this is quite different from other representatives of our rating. And the manufacturer I tried to reduce the number of rubber linings. It is possible that because This device has become less impact resistant. But he weighs only 168 g, and this is when the battery used is 2570 mAh. By the way the case is made of metal - it is a distinctive feature of the device.
Mobile phone went on sale at a price 3000-3500 rub. Wait for the money to have a radio here or even normal Internet access is not worth it. Although the manufacturer and indicates support for GPRS, but hardly you use it at least once. Much more important it seems here the presence of FM radio. It will help pass the time somewhere in nature, unless you are too far from civilization. Of course, you can also listen to MP3 music here. But to download it have a little confusion - the device’s internal memory is almost No, so you need to throw the songs on the microSD card. Maximum firmware determines the drive capacity of 16 GB.
Low price tag could not affect the display devices. With a two-inch diagonal, it has a resolution of 220x176 pixels. This is not to say that it is very small. But pixelated you gradually You will begin to distinguish, especially if a smartphone falls into your hands with a much more advanced screen. Well, on the back the phone is already mentioned by us camera. Her permission is 2 Mp. The possibilities of the camera are basically enough only to Take a picture for a contact book. It's nice that near the lens there is a flash. However, it will be used much more often. as a flashlight.
Unlike the above model, teXet The TM-513R has two SIM slots. But there is no support for installing Java applications. It's a shame, but this is the trouble of the majority of graduates now push-button phones. Nevertheless, it is a good device, especially for their money. Despite the low cost, the product is still received a bluetooth module, so it can be used in pairs with wireless headset.
Virtues
- IP67 water protection;
- There is an FM receiver;
- Low cost;
- At least 4 days of battery life;

BQ BQ-2434 Sharky
Rating: 4.7
There are no orange flowers at all. Most of the body This case is painted black. And only the edging of the central keys with rubber pads on the ends can be painted in one of three colors: the same black, purple or dark green. Even from the photos it is clear that this button phone has a very small thickness. Here it is 14.5 mm. Course for To achieve this parameter, we had to reduce the battery capacity up to 1650 mAh Therefore, this option does not suit those who wants to get a week of battery life. But he will like it lovers of lightweight devices - the weight of this model does not exceed 120 g This is lighter than any gadget in our rating!
The product has a very comfortable keyboard. Above it is 2.4-inch display with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. The size - decent, on this screen will be able to distinguish all the inscriptions in the menu even an elderly person with poor eyesight. Also, the device can boast two slots for SIM-cards. They work alternately, so power consumption does not increase too much. Well, FM radio can be called a nice bonus. However, practice shows that the owners of the "button" it is used quite often. Much more often a Bluetooth module, which here too. But the Internet access on the phone There is no, as there is no possibility to install additional applications. It's a pity, but it would be foolish to expect wide functionality from the device for 2500 rubles.
What else can please the device from BQ? Perhaps nothing more. There is a slot for a memory card. However difficult understand why such a phone may need an external drive. A business in that he can't play MP3 music - the bell here is strictly polyphonic. If you want to listen to normal music - radio is the only option. Of course, you can throw on the memory card Pictures. But why?
BQ BQ-2434 is the case when describing The device can be just one word - "dialer". Or if you want "Secure dialer". However, certain claims can be presented and to the quality of protection. Yes, the rain device is not an obstacle. But there is there are serious doubts that the device will withstand even a brief dive under water

The best secure smartphones
AGM X2 128GB
Rating: 4.9
One of the most expensive secure smartphones in our ranking. At least among those that position themselves precisely as protected or unkillable. This device is designed as a monoblock, under a screen which hides three touch keys. The back panel looks like very brutal. Rubber linings and a double chamber are used here. There is also a place for a fingerprint scanner. This means that the device protected not only from physical impact or immersion, but also from prying eyes. If you lost your smartphone, hardly anyone will then be able to unlock it to get access to the operating system. In her capacity here, By the way, Android 7.1 is used.
The gadget turned out to be extremely heavy - its weight reaches 250 g. This is not due to the presence of two SIM slots or other advanced components. Large weight due to the use of battery capacity is up to 6000 mAh. This is enough for 50 hours of talk time! Normally use the charger will have to be every two to three days, and someone will do it less often. To connect the cable here micro USB connector is used. Why not Type-C? We have an answer This question is not. Let's instead rejoice that The manufacturer did not get rid of the 3.5 mm audio jack. Therefore, the user will not need to connect headphones through adapter.
You've probably never heard about a brand like AGM? Meanwhile, extending a smartphone under it Got an AMOLED display! With a 5.5-inch diagonal, it has the perfect The resolution is 1920x1080 pixels. The surface is covered with protective glass Gorilla Glass third generation. Such a screen is clearly visible even under bright the sun, to the viewing angles, too, there are no complaints. Finally, the buyer waiting for perfect black colors! Also this display contributes more long battery life, especially when using all sorts of dark topics
If we talk about cameras, they too cause positive impressions. "Frontalka" pleases 16 megapixel resolution. With its help, detailed images are created there will be every pimple. The main camera, as mentioned above, is double. Under its lenses 12-megapixel matrix hidden. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor has enough power to process information from them. The result of the shooting can not be called superb - flagships take even better photos. But to complain about the pictures you just will not.
The smartphone also includes 6 GB of operational and 128 GB of permanent memory. That's enough for absolutely all buyers. smartphone In this regard, it seems strange that there is a slot for memory cards - for most people, it will obviously be empty. But LTE communication will be used constantly. Photo and videos will "fly away" in social networks almost instantly. There is also an NFC chip. But do not forget about the presence here of a sufficiently thick body - not the fact that The wireless payment signal will be sent the first time. The However, the presence of NFC can not but rejoice.
Virtues
- Built in a large number of auxiliary sensors;
- There is a fingerprint scanner;
- There is a large amount of memory;
- Uses a powerful eight-core processor;
- There is an NFC chip;
- High speed internet access;
- Good rear camera;
- Excellent "frontalka";

disadvantages
- Too much weight;
- A micro USB connector is used;
- Astronomical price tag.
Conquest S10
Rating: 4.8
Conquest brand is familiar to every lover of protected smartphones. The range of devices spreading under it is quite wide. However, only the S10 hit our rating. She has best performance - hardly a buyer of this device will seriously complain about something. The thickness of this smartphone is 19 mm, and the weight - crazy 345 g. The reason for all this lies in the battery, the capacity of which reaches 5000 mAh, and a very powerful defense. A large amount of rubber is excellent shock absorbing. any blows, no matter what surface the device landed on. The NFC tag is clearly visible on the back panel - here is the the appropriate chip with which you can wirelessly payment. With such a body, the device easily experiences even immersion under water.
The display installed here was created by technology. Ips. Black colors are not perfect, but you are unlikely to be regularly use such a smartphone to view high-quality content. The resolution of a 5.5-inch LCD panel is 1920x1080 pixels. Ideal for YouTube and launch games. The screen surface is covered with a protective Dragon Glass 5.
About the game we mentioned is not easy. So capacious battery allows you to play for a long time, not pathetic one to two hours. The eight-core Snapdragon processor 615 allows you to run almost any games, reducing the level of graphics only in the most demanding projects. Still under the case of the Conquest S10 are 3 GB operational and 32 GB of permanent memory. Not a record volume but for many buyers this should be enough. There is also a slot for memory cards - maximum supported storage capacity of 64 GB.
So expensive smartphone could not do without high-speed wireless modules. To receive and transmit data will used LTE and Wi-Fi. To switch channels on a TV designed infrared transmitter. Well, with the help Bluetooth 4.0 can connect a wireless speaker or headset. Do not forget the manufacturer and the standard 3.5-millimeter audio jack. If you connect headphones to it, you can activate FM radio - a rare guest in expensive smartphones.
Oddly enough, the least attention maker Conquest S10 paid cameras. The buyer is waiting for a simple 5-megapixel "Frontalka", which is difficult to say something interesting. Rear camera also consists of a single lens, but already hides under it 13 megapixel sensor. Hardly you will spit on the quality of the photos, but also the perfect pictures to name can not.
Perhaps the Chinese manufacturer has turned out great smartphone. But it is clear that they saved on some components. It is seen only according to the characteristics - the high price supposed to speak on the contrary.

- Good high resolution display;
- There is FM radio;
- Relatively good rear camera;
- High-speed wireless networks are supported;
- Do not forget the NFC chip;
- It is a very powerful processor;

disadvantages
- Scary big weight;
- Not the latest version of Android;
- The front camera does not suit everyone;
- Very high cost.
Caterpillar S61
Rating: 4.8
Perhaps Caterpillar smartphones can be considered the best. Of a kind, if we talk only about secure models. These devices not only have an excellent level of protection but also have all sorts of additional features. And the manufacturer trying to make them miniature - for example, the thickness of the Caterpillar S61 does not exceed 13 mm. And the height of the device is small - only 163 mm. In short, the size of the device is close to some Nexus 4, which now seems scary small. On the front panel of the device there was a place only 5.2-inch display. With its resolution is 1920x1080 pixels - quite a rather big one parameter. The screen was created using IPS technology, with no viewing angles no problem.
The main feature of the smartphone is non-waterproof and shockproof housing. And even not an eight-core Snapdragon 630 processor, half of which is capable of work at a clock frequency of 2.2 GHz. No, the device received astronomical value solely due to the presence of a thermal imager. it a unique component that in its smartphones only uses Caterpillar. And precisely because of him on the top of the gadget there is a rather large "hump". Thermal imager is useful in professional work, and separately such a device costs considerable of money.
If we talk about a regular camera, then she too pleases with its quality. Inside it is a 16-megapixel matrix. The quality of the pictures is good, even more cool photos are obtained only with the help of flagships. It is also important that the built-in the Caterpillar S61 camera allows you to write video in 4K-resolution. It is also nice that the front-end also does not cause any special complaints - the 8-megapixel module copes with its challenge
Android smartphone running 8.0 Supports all high-speed standards. It means that they support not only LTE networks, but also Wi-Fi 802.11ac. And this is great news for those who like to watch movies from the outside. hard drive connected to the router. More support here Bluetooth 5.0, thanks to which the sound is transmitted to the headset in high quality. Of course, the NFC chip is not forgotten, allows you to use your smartphone as a bank card.
Many readers of our rating are interested in what The battery received this smartphone. Above, we wrote about his small thickness. However, inside there was a place for the battery capacity 4500 mAh It is charged via USB Type-C connector. A lot of time this process does not take, as evidenced by the support of the Qualcomm standard Quick Charge 4.
Talk about the Caterpillar S61 can be very long. We did not mention a decent amount of memory scanner fingerprint and many other device features. Fair speaking, about such a smartphone you need not to read, they need to enjoy. However, he can afford not everyone and not everyone will want to spend such money - for them You can buy this or that flagship.

- Modest size;
- Installed a fresh version of the operating system;
- Excellent display;

Runbo F1 Plus
Rating: 4.7
This smartphone is familiar to a secure device. The shape is a candy bar with chopped corners and a touchscreen display. Part of the body is painted yellow so that the device can be no problem found in the snow or under water. At the bottom of the front panel is manufacturer's logo. If the device is turned, you can see massive plastic rubber base. It is immediately clear that such a device has good level of protection. Reading the instructions, you only confirm your opinion - this model is certified according to IP67 standards and MIL-810G. It should be noted that this is not the maximum possible protection - under water the device will not last long.
Designed by Runbo F1 Plus was not yesterday - this old model, located on the shelves of stores about a year and a half. In this regard, one should not be surprised at the absence of a scanner here. fingerprint. But the smartphone is endowed with a unique magnetic cable. USB - it literally sticks to the appropriate connector. Also The device included a gyroscope and a digital compass. The first allows use a smartphone in a virtual reality helmet (however from a 313 g weight, your head will quickly ache.) Second chip helps to navigate the map. Continuing the theme of various modules, It should be noted the lack of NFC-chip. Alas, replace with such a device bank card can not be. But then there are LTE, Wi-Fi modules and Bluetooth 4.0. In a word, with data transmission and broadcasting There is no music on the wireless headset.
As the processor is involved eight-core MediaTek Helio P20. This is a great mid-budget solution that can work. at a clock frequency of 2400 MHz. In games it is used graphics accelerator Mali-T880 MP2, also pleasing with its power. Somewhere near the chipset are located 6 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory. Secure smartphones rarely get this. volume But here there is also a slot for a microSD card! Autonomous operation of all these components provides a 5000 mAh battery. Of course, there is support for fast charging - not necessarily keep the network adapter connected for a whole night.
Functioning device using Android 7.0. The operating system recognizes two SIM cards without any problems. Picture It displays a 5.5-inch display, whose resolution is 1920x1080 pixels. Every inch of screen area consists of 401 pixels - most often and not required. Well, IPS manufacturing technology says about maximum viewing angles. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, whose thickness reaches 1.2 mm.
There is no point in spending almost 30 thousand rubles. on a smartphone that cannot make high-quality photos. Fortunately, the Runbo F1 Plus has got quite a good camera, let and not double. Its resolution is 16 MP, and in video mode, she writes a Full HD picture. No flagship the apparatus is still inferior in this respect, but they cannot boast so high level of protection. As for the front camera, then it includes a 5-megapixel matrix.
In short, the gadget deserves praise. Nice that He received a light indicator of events, gradually disappearing from such devices. And here there is an FM radio that can brighten pastime anywhere in nature.

Blackview BV9000 Pro
Rating: 4.6
Reading our rating, you may get the impression that protected smartphones cost a lot of money. Yes, many of them really have a high cost. But some manufacturers succeed at least slightly reduce the price tag. For example, Blackview BV9000 Pro can purchased for 20-21 thousand rubles, which is comparable to the cost some mid-range smartphone from Samsung. In this case, the device turned out to be modern and even very advanced. In its composition there is even a USB Type-C connector, which is inserted into the wire the first time! Also, the product is endowed with an NFC chip that allows you to act device in the manner of a bank card. But the main advantage The device is still protected from water and shock according to IP68 standard. The gadget can stay at a meter depth of about half an hour - nothing will happen to him during this time.
Smartphone successfully combines solutions from budget and top models. From the first engineers borrowed FM radio and a traditional 3.5mm audio jack. Well, everything else allows you to compare the device if not with flagships, it’s with very expensive devices. For example, as a processor, an eight-core MediaTek is used here. Helio P25. His work at a clock frequency of 2.6 GHz contributes to the full no slowdowns in the operating system and applications. Yes, and in games you have to reduce graphics settings extremely rarely, which also can not but rejoice. More in the product included 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. You can find the version and with twice the amount of ROM, however, it will cost significantly expensive. And if she needed? The fact is that here supported memory card up to 256 GB, which can throw off all media files. By the way, only you will get access to them. If someone steals a smartphone, it will be with him only to suffer - to unlock, fingerprint scanning is used here fingertips.
On the front panel of this device is IPS-display, the aspect ratio which allows you to work comfortably with two applications at once. Resolution 5.7-inch LCD panel is 1440x720 pixels. Its surface is covered with protective glass. Gorilla Glass is the latest generation.
Such a smartphone can not be equipped with a simple battery. But also greatly increase the capacity of the battery manufacturer did not, stopping at 4180 mAh. Meizu technology support mCharge provides full recharging for about a couple of hours.
Typically, these devices get a traditional camera. It is believed that one lens is more difficult to break than two. However, the creators of the Blackview BV9000 Pro decided to make a choice in favor of dual module. Under the first optical unit is a 13-megapixel matrix. The second sensor is auxiliary, and its resolution does not exceed 5 Mp. This design serves to create a bokeh effect - blur background Nothing bad can be said about the “front-end” having 8 megapixel resolution.
As for wireless modules, it is unlikely The buyer will complain about something. LTE is. Wi-Fi is. Connect Bluetooth headset can be.Even NFC is not forgotten! The presence of the latter perhaps the most important thing.
Virtues
- Capacious battery with fast charging support;
- A very powerful processor is built in;
- NFC available;
- The amount of memory will suit everyone;
- The screen was created using IPS technology;
- There are two slots for SIM-cards;
- Excellent water protection;
- Good rear camera;
- Decent "frontalka";

KYOCERA Brigadier
Rating: 4.5
This secure smartphone is sold online. not the first year. According to him it is clearly visible. Now similar devices almost never endow physical keys. Here too they are just like that. This is not a minus. On the contrary, these buttons have excellent response, they are easy to press, even in the cold, being in gloves. But the operating system is confusing - the times of Android 4.4 have long been have passed. However, a skillful buyer can reflash the device, installing more the latest version of the green robot.
This is one of the most compact secure smartphones. in our ranking. On its front panel there was a place only 4.5 inch LCD display. I am glad that its resolution is 1280x720 pixels. The pixel density was very high, all the images on this The screen seems very detailed. 16: 9 aspect ratio is perfect suitable for watching videos on YouTube, but not happy when using two applications at the same time. But what are we talking about? Here it is impossible to do this - it does not allow any operating system or processor power.
Under the shockproof and waterproof case here hiding the Qualcomm MSM8928 quad-core chipset running on the clock the frequency of 1.4 GHz. There are enough operating systems and applications but it is better not to run games on such a device. Still in composition The smartphone includes 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. There is also a slot for a microSD card, but the maximum supported storage capacity is small - only 32 GB.
Oddly enough, a rather ancient apparatus had time get support for not only LTE-A fourth category, but also Wi-Fi 802.11ac. So, high-speed data transfer user will be provided! And you can connect to the smartphone wireless speakers and headsets, what is used for Bluetooth 4.0. Well, NFC is primarily needed for payment. shopping in the store.
On the back of the KYOCERA Brigadier is located the simplest by modern standards rear camera. Her permission is only 8 Mp. However, even this is enough for video recording. Full HD resolution. But this does not mean that it will have good quality - affects the processor that can not handle high bitrate image. About the "front" in general you should not remember - it has only two megapixel by the matrix.
It is felt that the device is seriously outdated. He is acute not enough computing power, and the lack of a scanner fingerprint grieves. However, you can even get a device now. With it, you can brag to your friends that the facial the surface of the device is protected by sapphire glass - who else are smartphone manufacturers doing this now? Also the device is capable brag enough long autonomous work that provides 3100 mAh battery. Network adapter connection made through, of course, the micro-USB connector.
Virtues
- Protection according to MIL-810G and IP68 standards;
- Miniature size and relatively small weight;
- Convenient physical keys;
- Worthy for a small screen resolution;
- There is support for Wi-Fi 802.11ac and LTE;
- NFC chip present;
- There is a digital compass and a barometer.
disadvantages
- Only one SIM card slot;
- Far from the best cameras;

- High cost for an outdated device.
Torex S18
Rating: 4.5
Another rather old smartphone in our rating. The job it provides Android 5.1. This operating system is not allowed called outdated, but freshness does not blow from it. Firmware in any case, will offer everything you need to any tourist. Namely for tourist such a device is most suitable. In his daily life the thickness will seem excessive, whereas in nature all the flaws devices will be invisible. For example, hardly in a campaign You will notice that the resolution of the IPS display is only 960x540 pixels. However, with a 4.3-inch diagonal it is not bad parameter leading to a density of 256 pixels per inch.
The smartphone has two slots for SIM-cards. And this rare case when both SIM cards work at the same time. It means that you will not miss an incoming call on the second SIM card when talking on the first. As far as water protection and impact resistance, they are implemented here quite well. Can no doubt that the device will relive even the most difficult marching conditions.
In terms of technical characteristics, the device is comparable with modern low cost devices. For example, here applied Quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor. However, its capacity is enough in order to process the image with a low resolution. And the Mali-T720 performs relatively well. but Do not expect that you do not have to reduce the level graphics in heavy games. Yes, and upload them here is not easy - The protected gadget only got 16 GB of permanent memory. Of course here there is a slot for microSD, but they move to an external drive not all applications and games. Also included in the smartphone 2 GB of RAM - also minimal by modern standards volume
Some buyers will be surprised by the presence of an NFC chip here. It seems that most often it will be used for quick synchronization. with these or other electronic devices. Of course, in theory such The chip can also be used to pay for purchases. But as we said above, use so thick smartphone in daily life uncomfortable. Also among the wireless modules present here can be identified Wi-Fi (extremely slow, but suitable for basic tasks), LTE and Bluetooth 4.0. Somewhere else under the body of the smartphone is a barometer and digital compass.
From such a smartphone you do not expect perfect photography. However, it cannot be said that the Torex S18 removes the lousy. Not, 13-megapixel rear camera shows itself well in nature, when the sun has not yet begun to decline. Yes, and front the camera does not cause much rejection if you only use it for video.

DOOGEE S50 6 / 64GB
Rating: 4.5
This smartphone exists in several versions. One of them offers 128 GB of permanent memory - to take we do not advise you, because you should be enough and double smaller volume. And why overpay if there is a slot for microSD card?
The device is a classic candy bar with plastic case. The back panel and the ends are made like this. a way that absolutely nothing threatens them - no landing on a hard surface, no immersion. About it testifies and certificate IP68. More on the back can notice two lenses. After passing through them the light enters on matrices with a resolution of 16 and 13 Mp. Some time back even top devices could not boast of anything like that! Android 7.1 operating system does a pretty good job with blur background It should be noted that the main lens has an aperture. f / 2, which allows you to get decent pictures even in conditions insufficient lighting. Interestingly, the double here is and front camera, located on the front panel. She uses matrix with a resolution of 16 and 8 megapixels, the aperture is absolutely is the same. In short, in terms of cameras, the smartphone surpasses almost everything. considered in this device rating.
Weak processor could not handle information from the dual camera, so the choice of Chinese manufacturer fell for MediaTek Helio P23. This eight core chipset is easy "Digests" any applications and games. Also his perfect job contribute 6 GB of RAM.
The image here is displayed on a 5.7-inch display. Unfortunately, it was on him that engineers had to save in order to a smartphone wouldn't be too expensive. No, in terms of technology workmanship everything is in order - this is a full IPS panel with maximum viewing angles. Only resolution let it down - it is is 1440x720 pixels. However, many buyers of this should be enough.
It has a smartphone and a number of other disadvantages. In particular, the absence of an NFC chip is confusing here. But there is support LTE-A, so the buyer can count on a very high speed data transmission. Not forgotten and Bluetooth, with which Sound is transmitted to a headset or speaker. It is also possible do the wired method - the Chinese did not get rid from the traditional 3.5mm audio jack. And they gave your creation scan fingerprint. And it is right. Now already it is strange to see smartphones for sale for 20 thousand rubles. without fingerprint sensor.
The weight of this smartphone reaches 250 g. This alone. indicates the presence of a capacious battery inside. And indeed, this The parameter here is 5180 mAh. There is no doubt that Charger connection will be required only once every two days. It is a pity that for this we have to use an obsolete connector. micro-usb This is another design element on which the Chinese have decided to save.

- Water and impact resistance implemented adequately;
- There are two slots for SIM-cards;
- Installed IPS-screen;
- LTE networks are supported;
- Excellent rear camera;

Archos Sense 50X
Rating: 4.4
Another dvuhsimochny smartphone in our ranking. This The device is painted in black and silver, which may cause some problems finding it under water, in mud or snow. But his the cost does not exceed 15 thousand rubles. This figure can already be called quite affordable, it is not transcendental. The device operates under control Android 7.0, which indicates a relatively recent release date. Software protected from prying eyes by fingerprint sensor - therefore, the loss of a smartphone does not guarantee that someone the other will see all your photos and videos. Still can not Do not mention smartphone support for OTG technology. And not just support - an appropriate cable is included.

On the front of the smartphone is a 5-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. 441 pixels per inch - some time ago even the flagships could not boast of such a parameter!
Finally, it has a device and two cameras. Rear It has a 13 megapixel resolution, it does not stand out for anything special. Gadget able to write video with Full HD resolution - and on that thank. However, experts will definitely say that the quality of the picture is infinite far from ideal. Well, what did you want with such a chipset? He doesn’t digest a high bitrate. It remains to add that “Frontalka” works here with the help of an 8-megapixel matrix.

Rating: 4.4
This smartphone, as discussed above device, has a thickness 12.7 mm. It also uses a protected case, saving apparatus. from drowning. However, it is impossible not to notice that it is less resistant.

Its resolution is 1280x720 pixels, which can be called the average parameter for such a diagonal. Above the screen you can notice the lens "frontalki", but this is the worst part of the device - two megapixel resolution is enough except for video. Fortunately, the rear camera shows itself better - it has a 13-megapixel matrix. But this is by no means case does not mean that you will remain from the result excited.
This smartphone has an FM receiver. But much easier to listen to music online - support for LTE and Wi-Fi it allows. You can play the sound in different ways - either through the built-in a speaker, either by plugging in a wired headset, or pulling it out on a bluetooth headset.
Unfortunately, austerity did not allow manufacturer to install a powerful processor. Yes, and the amount of memory (2 GB operational and 16 GB permanent) cannot be called terrific imagination. But over the battery engineers have worked, bringing it capacity up to 4000 mAh. Someone such a battery will be enough for two day battery life.

As a result The device complies with the IP68 certificate. That means you can drop it. in the water at half a meter depth, where the unit can easily lie within half an hour.
Of course, the technical characteristics of such an inexpensive devices will not please everyone. For example, some people will not happy with too small display - its diagonal does not exceed 4.7 inches. Screen made by IPS technology - in this regard, it is impossible to find fault with him. Yes, and resolution 720p with such a diagonal can not be called small.
The modest processor involved here is quad MediaTek MT6580A. About games with him will have to forget. For applications, its power is enough, let and not abundantly.
