1. HUAWEI P30 lite

The P30 lite is a "lightweight" version of the flagship Huawei P30. The design of this smartphone is very similar to the company's premium solutions. But the fingerprint scanner on the back, and not under the 6.15-inch screen with a resolution of 2312 × 1080 pixels, clearly hints that this is not a top-end device. By the way, in the settings, you can manually switch to HD or turn on smart mode to automatically select the resolution.

The Huawei phone is equipped with three main cameras at 24, 8 and 2 MP. They shoot well, but not impressive. Only Full HD video can be recorded, but with optical image stabilization.

2. Nokia 7.2 64GB

Having decided to choose a smartphone with the best camera for 20,000 rubles, take a look at the model with the laconic name 7.2 from the popular Nokia brand. The low cost did not prevent the manufacturer from making the smartphone excellent. Yes, as in most modern phones, glass is used on the front and back of the device, but on the back it is not glossy, as is usually the case, but matte. Not only does it look stylish, but also the fingerprints on it are almost invisible.

The Nokia 7.2's camera unit is housed in a neat round protrusion. Symmetrically, it houses 48, 8 and 5 MP sensors, as well as an LED flash. The camera in Nokia was made in cooperation with Zeiss, so it shoots almost perfectly.

The sides of the smartphone are made of a composite polymer. The manufacturer declares that this material significantly outperforms plastic in terms of strength, but, at the same time, it is lighter than metal. The slot in Nokia 7.2 is not hybrid, so up to 512 GB of additional memory can be crammed into the phone. On the case, in addition to the volume rocker and the power button, there was a place for a separate button to call Google Assistant. And the 3.5 mm headphone jack has not disappeared here, which is also nice.

Also, the Samsung smartphone is equipped with a three-module camera: a 32-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera and a sensor responsible for determining the depth. In the daytime, the pictures on the A70 are very good, but in the evening the phone is struggling.

The back panel is beautiful (available in 3 colors), but it is soiled and slippery, which is fraught with falling for a phone of this size. And also, as noted above, the "fiberglass" in the new models of the South Korean brand is not strong enough, so it is better to immediately buy some kind of bumper. But there are no complaints about performance. Snapdragon 675 with Adreno 612 graphics still pulls any projects at high settings.

• high-quality screen;
• battery 4500 mAh;
