6. Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 4/64GB, from RUR 11,000
Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 smartphone is difficult to classify, given that it has the highest camera resolution currently available (48 MP) and a relatively weak Snapdragon 660 (found in the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite, BQ Aquaris X2 and Nokia 7 Plus).
Although, there is QuickCharge 4.0 fast charging, which is extremely rare in this class of devices, and a 4,000 mAh battery is even rarer.

Smartphones are available for plus or minus equal money:

- Huawei P30 Pro – with slightly worse Kirin 980 hardware, but with Google support
Both smartphones are top-end camera phones in the “40 thousand rubles” price category, they take equally great photographs, but the P30 Pro has a telephoto camera with a 5x zoom, while the P40 has a 3x zoom. Subjectively: it is better to take the Huawei P30 Pro - one of the most successful phones from Huawei, and it has already been tested by time.
