They are not interested in the question of how much the phone costs. Developers are trying to release several lines of their products, affordable in price and with expensive functionality.

And the reason is not only the love for Apple - the iPhone SE (2020) is now the smallest flagship on the market with excellent characteristics (correction - after the iPhone 12 mini).

The SE looks dated, but is a good option for those who can't afford the company's flagships.
In addition, it remains one of the few compact phones
with a 4.7-inch IPS screen with a modest resolution of 1334x750 pixels and large frames around the perimeter. Because of them, it occupies only 65% of the area.
The classic fingerprint scanner is built into the “Home” key under the screen. A strange decision, because competitors have it located on the side or built into the display. But the body fits like a glove in your hand and fits even in a small pocket.
The main potential lies inside, because unlike the exterior, the hardware has been updated - the Apple iPhone SE 2022 received an A13 Bionic processor. It is also used in the flagship iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Budgeting gives out a smaller amount of RAM - only 3 GB in combination with 64 GB of internal memory. You can install two SIM cards, but one is Nano and the other is e-SIM.
In Antutu it scores 492165 points - an excellent result. The camera is also impressive. There is only one, but it takes good photos and was rated 103 points by DxOMark experts.

OnePlus 8 12/256GB
The OnePlus line is slowly expanding. We want to show you OnePlus 8 with a huge reserve of power based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset and 12 GB of RAM! It’s not for nothing that the smartphone bears the title of one of the most powerful in the world.

Features of smartphones with loud speakers
Due to downsizing trends, smartphones do not have room to install a full-size speaker driver. This forces manufacturers to select speakers with optimal amplitude-frequency characteristics and pre-set the sound. In 2022, sound quality also depends on:
- loudspeaker location (on the back, bottom);
- its forms;
- sensitivity (dB);
- the housing has protection standard IP67/68.
The best models among flagship and sub-flagship smartphones use stereo sound, when both the earpiece and the multimedia speaker are simultaneously responsible for playing music or audio content. The former may be quieter than the latter due to its smaller size. Stereo sound can be:
- Directional - speakers are located at the top and bottom of the front panel, which promotes immersion in games, movies or TV series.
- Omnidirectional - one speaker is located in front (spoken), the second is at the bottom end.
Top options are enhanced by DTS:X surround sound technology, creating a 3D sound propagation effect.
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 8/256GB

Particular attention is paid to the rear camera, which consists of three modules: main, telephoto and wide-angle. The module is almost the same as on the Huawei P40, one of the best camera phones in the world. That’s why the 30 Pro+ shoots just great.
Since this is a flagship, it received the top-end HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G chipset and an impressive amount of memory - 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal memory. The front camera is double; there is a version available for sale with a large logo in the form of an inscription on the back cover.

And stereo sound is complemented by Hi-Res Audio and mini-Jack certification. There is IP53 protection.
OPPO A72 128GB
OPPO A72 is the same OPPO A52, only with slightly different characteristics.
First of all, the amount of built-in memory has changed: here it has grown to 128 GB. In addition, the manufacturer used a different main rear camera module in the A72 with a resolution of 48 MP versus 12 MP. And tests show that it actually shoots better.
Is it worth the overpayment? You decide. The stereo speakers appear to be the same in both smartphones.

Oppo A9 (2020)
Probably the only smartphone in the 16-17 thousand price category equipped with stereo speakers. In terms of sound, it has no competitors in its segment, and that's cool. Plus, the Oppo A9 (2020) has a large 5000 mAh battery, NFC, and reverse charging function via an OTG cable.

Minuses:
- The screen is HD, although without grain. The picture looks great, and this screen doesn’t consume a lot of energy
- Looks like a C - too big and thick, uncomfortable to use with one hand
- Android 9 Pie out of the box, the update to “ten” should arrive in July 2022, the update to Android 11 is in doubt. Most likely there won't be one.
Even with the listed disadvantages, the Oppo A9 (2020) is a cool smartphone for little money. It even made it into our TOP phones with an ideal price/quality ratio.
ASUS ZenFone 7 Pro ZS671KS 256GB
It’s a pity that purchasing ASUS ZenFone 7 Pro is not so easy, because the smartphone itself turned out to be very interesting.
It mainly surprises with its unusual camera module, which is flipped over using a special mechanism, that is, the same camera is used for both main and front shooting.
In this generation, the device received a 6.67-inch AMOLED screen, the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chip and 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of main memory. There is no wireless charging or water protection here. The camera itself received 3 modules: main, ultra-wide-angle and telephoto. It shoots very well.

Poco M3
What's good about this smartphone besides stereo speakers?
There are tons of advantages here: from a Full HD screen to a 6000 mAh battery, from a decent Snapdragon 662 chipset to 18-watt fast charging, from a 48-megapixel main camera to a very cool design. It’s cool primarily because the Poco M3 is unlike any other device. That is, the model turned out to be very original, which is a rarity in our time of monkeying with each other.
What you have to come to terms with
With the absence of an NFC chip - okay. With useless additional cameras - two. The Poco M3, like the Oppo A53, lacks a wide-angle module, but there are sensors for bokeh and macro, which, in all honesty, you can do without. It would be better if they put it in “shirik”.
Sony Xperia 1 II
New flagship from Sony. As before, the company uses a 21:9 aspect ratio screen, so the large 6.5-inch OLED display is only 72mm wide. Another thing is that the body is elongated in height.
This model has a triple camera: main module, wide-angle and telephoto. It shoots very well. Flagship platform: Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of ROM. There is fast and wireless charging, water protection.
As before, the device can sound great from both stereo speakers and headphones. For the latter, by the way, there is a 3.5 mm jack on the case.

- powerful Snapdragon 865 processor;
- screen with a refresh rate of 144 Hz;
- a set of speakers to obtain sophisticated stereo sound;
- convenient notification indicator.
Minuses:
- thick body;
- heaviness.
A fairly large and heavy model designed to solve the most complex problems. Equipped with a high-performance chip from Qualcomm and high-speed RAM. The main camera with a resolution of 64 MP can optionally record video in 8K format.
In terms of this parameter, the smartphone does not yet have many competitors. Stereo speakers make listening to music from your phone more comfortable, and also allow you to immerse yourself in what's happening on the screen.
TECNO Pouvoir 4
So far, TECNO is not very well known in our market, but everything can change, especially if it continues to produce such unusual smartphones.
TECNO Pouvoir 4 impresses with its low cost, stereo speakers, and huge 7-inch display! True, its resolution is low (1640×720 pixels), but overall the IPS matrix is not bad. The platform is far from the most powerful - it is based on a MediaTek Helio A22 (MT6761) processor and 3 GB of RAM, but considering the cost, this is normal.
Pay attention to the powerful battery with a capacity of as much as 6000 mAh! There is no NFC, but there is a scanner and a quad camera, which generally does a good job with enough light.
- Screen diagonal: 6.95 inches
- Screen resolution: 1640×720

Pocophone F1
This is an excellent budget smartphone 2022 and another gadget from Xiaomi. In principle, Pocophone was able to succeed in many areas, smartphones with stereo sound being one of them. It turned out to be extremely loud; the earpiece is used as a second stereo speaker. As a result, when watching movies or videos on YouTube, we will get quite good sound, but the smartphone will not work as a portable speaker.
