Best Android smartphones under 10 thousand rubles in Russia
Editors at the portal have put together a list of top Android phones you can buy in Russia with a budget capped at 10,000 rubles. The guide focuses on models that balance price, performance and practical features for everyday use.
Leading the lineup is the Realme C51. It runs a smooth user interface, supports two SIM cards, offers 33 W fast charging, and includes NFC for contactless payments. On the downside, the camera system is modest, battery life is average, and the device ships with 4 GB of RAM, which can feel tight when multitasking or running demanding apps.
Another strong candidate in the affordable segment is Xiaomi’s Redmi 12C. It also supports dual SIM cards and NFC, and adds a fingerprint sensor and face unlock for quick access. However, it is hampered by only 3 GB of RAM and a slower charge via an older Micro USB connection, which may be noticeable in daily charging routines.
Rounding out the value pick set is the Samsung Galaxy A04. It features a bright PLS display, a compact footprint, and a capable camera for its price tier. The tradeoffs include a glossy body that can show scratches easily and hardware that may struggle with heavier tasks due to limited memory and processing power.
Earlier speculation about a new iPhone with an anti glare and scratch resistant screen has circulated online, though no official confirmation has been issued as of today. Budget-focused Android options remain the most practical choice for many users seeking solid basics without overspending.
