Smartphone for PLN 2,000?There are two favorites and interesting alternatives

2000 złotych to kwota, za którą możemy kupić naprawdę ciekawy, wręcz kompletny smartfon i to z rynku pierwotnego. Sprawdzimy, którymi modelami szczególnie warto się zainteresować.

Large amount, high requirements

It cannot be denied that the budget of PLN 2,000 for the purchase of a smartphone is a very substantial sum.Pretty good constructions, which are great for everyday use, can be found in twice less.By increasing the budget twice, we will not feel a radical change.Everything will be faster, more efficient, prettier and simply better.

We will deal with devices that, although they offer similar possibilities as cheaper models, all tasks are performed more efficiently.This can be seen not only after performance - we will find here even absolutely top SoC systems, but also after cameras or displays used.

In the selection of devices I used the offer of our partner - Media Expert, which, however, did not affect my decisions.

It's time to look at what we will buy for PLN 2,000, starting with a key issue.

Android or iOS up to PLN 2,000?You must decide yourself

With the amount of PLN 2,000, we can already think about buying a new device from the Apple offer.In this case, it will be the basic model - the iPhone SE 2020, which during almost a year of presence on the market, managed to stand by about PLN 200, and sometimes you can buy it even cheaper.

By allocating 20 banknotes with the image of King Władysław Jagiełło to buy a smartphone with an apple on the housing, we will get a very characteristic, small device, with a specific set of features.On the one hand, all the advantages of the iOS system, for which many decide to choose Apple equipment.In addition, uncompromising performance provided by SOC Apple A13 Bionic and the ability to use wireless charging, rarely found in this price shelf.

On the other hand, a slightly archaic housing, a small IPS display with low resolution, not the best battery and camera without an ultra -angle lens, which seems to have the glory years (although the software is trying to squeeze the seventh sweats of it).

Nevertheless, the iPhone SE 2020 can be a great choice among Apple smartphones, especially during the pandemic time.The biometric protection here is the Touch ID fingerprint scanner, which means that we can easily unlock it without removing the mask.In addition, it is almost twice cheaper than the next model in the range of this manufacturer - the iPhone 12 Mini.

The most interesting Android device that we can buy up to PLN 2,000 stands with an Apple smartphone.For anyone, it should not be a surprise that this will be one of the best priced proposals (in relation to the possibilities offered) from China - Xiaomi Mi 10t.

By comparing it with the iPhone SE 2020 we will find one common feature.Both use IPS LCD displays.And although it is an absolute top of IPS panels, the magic of colors and depths of black OLEDs to offer, due to the limitations of the technology used, they simply cannot.

However, the similarities end there.Xiaomi Mi 10T is a much larger display (6.67 inches compared to 4.7 inches) and with a much higher screen refreshment - as much as 144 Hz.It has an equally powerful SOC (Qualcomm Snapdragon 865) system, but (in the basic version) it has 2 times more data for data - 128 GB.In addition, we will find here a much larger battery (5000 mAh) and an ultra -angle lens, which was missing in the Apple smartphone.

Which one to choose?Looking objectively, from the perspective of dry data, Xiaomi Mi 10t is better.It will also be a better solution for those who prefer Android and those who are indifferent to which system they use on the smartphone.

However, if the priority is whether the smartphone is handy, or we want to use the iOS system and build the Apple Ecosystem - the iPhone will be the optimal choice.

Wide pursuit group

The world of Android smartphones has it that for almost every smartphone, we will find at least a few alternatives.It is no different in the case of our today's favorite - Xiaomi Mi 10t.Up to PLN 2,000, we will find at least 5 other devices that are worth looking at.

In this group, there are two Oppo smartphones, there is also OnePlus, Samsung and Nokia, which just a few months ago cost too much.

The first of interesting competitors is Oppo Reno 4, whose solid advantage, against the background of today's rivals, can be the price - in the ongoing promotion it costs PLN 1599.An additional PLN 400, which will stay in our pocket, can certainly be used interestingly.

On board you will find the SOC Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G system, supported by 8 GB RAM and 128 GB of data memory.There is also a triple main camera (48 + 8 + 2 Mpix) and quick charging.

By paying an additional PLN 200, you can buy another smartphone from the brand's offer - Oppo Reno 4 Z. From four, the SOC is different - we will find here MediaTyka Dimensity 800 with support for 5G connectivity and a slightly different set of cameras (48 + 8 + 2 + 2 Mpix).The display is also different, compared to AMOLED in Reno 4, Reno 4 Z offers IPS buyers.

Another model, which is worth taking a closer look at, is produced by the same group as Oppo.This is OnePlus Nord, which is the first, medium -shelf smartphone in the OnePlus offer.

It is equipped with SOC Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G with 5G connectivity, a quadruple main camera (48 + 8 + 5 + 2 Mpix) and AMOLED display with 90 Hz refreshment.In addition, it has the original OnePlus overlay installed - Oxygen OS, famous for high liquidity and exemplary stability.

Once too expensive, now profitable

The next two suggestions are smartphones, which at the time of the premiere were valued by the producers too optimistic, which effectively limited their sales.Now they stood to a level where they can be a really interesting choice against the background of competition.

The first is Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, which is one of Samsung's first steps in the segment of cheaper flagships.It is distinguished by the plastic housing and more modest photographic possibilities from the other models from the Galaxy S10 series.

The specification, which at a price slightly below PLN 3,000 did not stand out with anything special, for PLN 1899 can make an impression.It is true that Snapdragon 855 has already had two successors, but he still does not lack vigor.Just like a beautiful Super AMOLED display or a 48 megapixel main camera.He is accompanied by two auxiliary lenses (12 and 5 Mpix) and a 4500 mAh battery.

Nokia 8.3 also cost too much, which can be bought today for PLN 1899.This is a real colossus with a 6.81 -inch IPS display, 5G connectivity (thanks to Snapdragon 765G) and a set of 4 cameras (64 + 12 + 2 +2 Mpix).Energy for work is provided by a 4500 mAh battery, which is exactly the same as in the Samsung described above.

That would be my number one

Last year's Huawei flagships were also covered by considerable discounts.Among them, one of the most interesting smartphones that I had to test in 2020 - Huawei P40.Of course, I realize that under normal conditions it would never cost PLN 1999, but the lack of Google services made the producer decided on a radical discount.

Huawei P40 is, in my opinion, the most interesting smartphone that we can now buy for up to PLN 2,000.There is no shortage of performance (which is responsible for Hisilicon Kirin 990), a great 5G connecting connectivity, exemplary workmanship, a beautiful OLED screen, and from the mobile photography side is by far the best device that we can buy in the indicated budget.

If only he had access to Google services, he would be my definite favorite.Only that it would not cost PLN 1999 at that time, but much more.

So if the offer of application in Appgallery and the Petal search engine is sufficient for someone - Huawei P40 will be the best choice.Otherwise, it is worth reaching for one of the competitors.

The choice is (seemingly) simple

In the current list, we have two decisive leaders: iPhone SE 2020 as the best choice for looking for a smartphone with iOS and devices with smaller dimensions and Xiaomi Mi 10T as the most complete and strongest smartphone with Android at this price.There is also Huawei P40, which is only lacking in access to Google services and a group of interesting alternatives.

These are my suggestions, and yours?I invite you to share them in the comments.
