In terms of the currency rodeo, retail prices for all kinds of electronics rose simply indecently. A twofold drop in the ruble exchange rate led to the fact that we still have to get used to the new cost of such a unit as $ 100 for a long time. If earlier it was a psychologically acceptable amount of about 3200–3400 rubles (it took a couple of years to get used to it at the same time), now a hundred bucks have jumped far from the comfort zone. However, this is not a disaster, life goes on. As the old Russian proverb says, there will be celebrity on our street.

In the meantime, users have to postpone the acquisition of new gadgets or pay attention to more budget models. In light of this trend, we have made for everyone a selection of the most attractive mobile phones that cost less than 1000 rubles (the average price in the market based on offers from stores). Almost sold by weight.

Nokia 105 (from 780 rubles)

The phone is equipped with a display with a staggering 1.44-inch diagonal, with a resolution of 128 x 128. As a pleasant bonus, there is a radio and a built-in flashlight. A battery with a capacity of 800 mAh allows the phone to work up to 840 hours in standby mode or up to 12.5 hours in talk mode. The device is available in black or blue case.

Philips E120 (from 999 rubles)

The most expensive phone in our selection. The display has a diagonal of 1.7 inches, there are even slots for a memory card and a second SIM card. There is a radio and a software player. The battery here is also at 800 mAh, but this phone will work from it only up to 400 hours in standby mode and up to 8 hours in talk mode.

Explay A170 (from 740 rubles)

This phone also allows you to install two SIM-cards. Moreover, he boasts one of the highest quality displays in our selection. With a diagonal of 1.77 inches, its resolution is 240 x 320. You will be surprised, but there is even a camera. True, with a matrix of 0.3 megapixels. Also, the phone is equipped with a slot for a memory card and allows you to listen to the radio. Yes, and several body colors are available. But the devil, as always, is in the details - the talk time is only up to 5 hours.

The phone is also equipped with a 1.77-inch screen, and the battery capacity is 900 mAh. 0.3 megapixel camera, radio, slots for two SIM cards and a memory card.

Samsung E1150 (from 790 rubles)

A nostalgic form factor is a clamshell phone. The filling here is ascetic even against the background of neighbors in the review - it can only make calls and send SMS. But the clamshell can be effectively broken in half, as in films about gangsters. Standby time up to 740 hours, talk time - up to 8.5 hours.

Micromax X267 (from 990 rubles)

Giant by local standards, the display has a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 240 x 320. There are slots for two SIM-cards and a memory card. But you have to pay for everything: a smart 1800 mAh battery provides only up to 400 hours of standby time and up to 6 hours of talk time.

teXet TM-102 (from 790 rubles)

You can put only one SIM card in this phone, but there is still a slot for a memory card. The camera is also missing.

The battery capacity is 800 mAh, the phone lasts up to 350 hours in standby mode and up to 6.5 hours in talk time . If anything, there is also a built-in flashlight.

Alcatel One Touch 1008 (from 590 rubles)

The cheapest phone in our selection. Despite this, he has a flashlight and radio support.

Of the software tools, there is only a calendar, an alarm clock, calculator, notes and blacklist. You can’t access the Internet, but you still can’t see anything on such a display.
