These are the cheapest but still usable smartphones in February

They are not very exciting in terms of technology, but they are still full-fledged, well-used mobiles.

These are the cheapest but still usable smartphones in February

We usually start the presentation of cheaper phones from 30 thousand forints, but we have now decided to set the upper limit at 20 thousand forints if we choose between the cheapest phones. The reason for this is that at this price we can already find mobiles that can actually be used, even if they are not too steely. As a rule of thumb, we no longer offer anything with less than 2GB of memory. You don't need an eight-core processor, you don't need rounded glass, one thing is important that the memory should not be less than 2 GB. We’re not that picky about storage because we can use a memory card for most phones. True, their access and read / write speeds are slower than those of integrated storage, but this will not make our phones unusually slow.

OVERVIEW K4000 3

This month, we’re offering you five different Chinese mobiles for your attention. They will have a lot in common, but you can buy them for under $ 80, or $ 20.


OVERHEAT K4000

OVERVIEW K4000 1

Oukitel is introducing a lot of interesting mobiles these days, but I think we can safely say that of these, we like the pieces with the bitang big battery the best. They don’t want to flash names borrowed from anyone else, they don’t copy phones from other manufacturers, they simply carry souffles for a long time.

The K4000 is like that, though because of its price, you couldn’t put a huge battery in it. Of course, the 4100 mAh capacity is not small either, moreover, it is not a top-class hardware that needs to be powered by the operating time.

The soul of the phone is the MediaTek MTK1,3 chip, which uses a quad-core 6737 GHz processor, which is standard in this category. The memory that can be used by the system is 2 GB and the storage is 16 GB, which is neither much nor little, just the amount we can expect in this price range.

OVERVIEW K4000 2

The display of the phone is HD resolution and 5 inches, which is why it is recommended for those who do not like today's big phones. We find a camera at the front and back, the former 2- the last 8 megapixels. We’re not overly relaxed in terms of sensors, but in this category, an unusual way to find a fingerprint reader is on the back.

It is important that the savings do not miss the LTE support, and the phone also knows the domestic B20 8000 MHz band!

HAFURY UMAX

HAFURY UMAX 1

Second, we get a phone called Hafury Umax called furi - sorry that was pretty crap -. The phone has more interesting things for us compared to the previous device.

The first is that this phone comes with a battery that is even more powerful than the so-called 4100, specifically a piece with a capacity of 4500 mAh.

The central unit is one piece older than the previous phone, but even this makes it quad-core, with a maximum clock speed of 1,3 GHz. The amount of memory and storage is the same, 2- and 16 GB, respectively. The display, on the other hand, is bigger, this phone has a 6-inch diagonal panel, although the resolution has not changed, here too HD. We also find two cameras here, 5 megapixels from the front to the back and 13, which is suspicious to be an interpolated value, so for safety's sake, let's stay here at 2- and 8 megapixels, respectively.

HAFURY UMAX 2

Unfortunately, due to the larger display and larger battery, the manufacturer was forced to save somewhere, in this case LTE support was omitted, so broadband internet only comes over a 3G connection. Let’s say it’s not so tragic, at home there is particularly good quality 3G.

UHANS MX

UHANS MX 1

The name Au UHANS does not sound very familiar at home, it is true that we do not even find top phones in their offer. In the lower category, on the other hand, they perform quite well, putting together honest devices. Such is the one called MX.

Of course, you don't have to be prepared for many surprises. The central unit here also came from MediaTek, the MTK 6580 chip works in it. It also has 4 cores and is located at 1,3 GHz. The memory and storage are also standard, 2- and 16 GB.

The display, on the other hand, is again neither large nor small, with a 5,2-inch hatchback of a different size. Its resolution is no longer so interesting, as it also means HD, i.e. 1280 x 720 pixels.

UHANS MX 2

They write 5 megapixels on the front camera and eight on the back. I find this a little easier to believe, because the 8 is completely realistic, and if it didn’t have the interpolated resolution written on it, then probably not on the front panel either, so it can be said to be an honest camera with 5 megapixels.

The phone no longer runs Android 6, but Android 7, but unfortunately the LTE radio has fallen victim to the savings here as well.

Bluboo Maya

Bluboo Maya 1

This isn't Bluboo's best-known phone, but it's no wonder there's nothing interesting about it. What made it into this selection is that its display is now a fourth size, and we thought it should be one, what to choose from.

The phone comes with an HD resolution, a 5,5-inch diagonal panel that popped up most often last year. The central unit is the same as the previous one, a bit older piece, LTE connection so this phone does not please the number.

We haven’t mentioned this chip yet, but of course it also has a graphics accelerator, namely a Mali-400MP, which is just so old that new games won’t accidentally run on it, but we should still be able to shoot angry birds or mow all sorts of southern fruit.

Bluboo Maya 2

In the field of cameras, we can be a little uncertain again, as we can see particularly high megapixel values ​​for the category. The front panel features 8- and the back panel features 13 original Sony megapixels, which for us fall into the category of miracles, and since we as adults don’t believe in miracles, we don’t believe in the 13-megapixel back panel camera either.

The battery in this phone is completely standard, with a capacity of 3000 mAh, but at least we can't complain about SIM cards, it handles two. True, it’s still the way that when we talk on one the other disconnects from the network but don’t be insatiable, we can make a call from both and we can receive a call on both.

OVERVIEW U7 Plus

OUKITEL U7 Plus 1

From this series, maybe this phone would be the one I would choose for myself. Not because the rest are so crappy, but it’s fitted with a mid-sized display and a bit of a newer, fairer quad-core CPU working in it.

This SoC is the MTK6737, which works with a quad-core 1,3 GHz proci, and the phone also received an LTE radio, knows the domestic B20. There is also enough system memory and built-in storage, 2- and 16 GB capacity.

The display here is also HD, the diagonal is 5,5 inches, so it's completely standard. The only thing that bends our mouths a bit is the battery capacity, which is only 2500 mAh.

OUKITEL U7 Plus 2

What I like about the phone, however, is the exterior. It is a beautiful, clean-lined, so to speak classic phone that we can buy in several colors. It has everything you would expect, or maybe a little more, because we get a fingerprint sensor. He also knows all sorts of tricks. For example, you can draw different characters in the air for which different functions are programmed, for example, the V signal starts the gallery on your phone. And through the camera, it recognizes, for example, if we format a V signal with our fingers, it automatically takes a photo of us.

Interesting phone, especially compared to its price. For HUF 18 you can find it here: OVERVIEW U7 Plus
