Best Smartphones Under 15,000 ₽

148 smartphones in this collection

In the ultra-budget under-15,000 ₽ segment, what matters most is a solid foundation: a high-capacity battery, a current Android version, and stable everyday performance. Gaming and night photography are sacrificed here, but models from Xiaomi Redmi, realme, Infinix, and Tecno hold up through a full day of active use and shrug off the occasional drop. The list is sorted by MobileRank rating.

Filtered by launch price — we do not track today's retail price. Ruble amounts use a coarse static conversion rate.
