Best BQ smartphones ranking in 2022

Not everyone knows, but BQ (Bright & Quick) is not just another Chinese brand, but a domestic manufacturer that has been supplying the market with budget devices since 2013, which, like other manufacturers, are assembled in China.

If you have not yet answered the question “which company’s smartphone is better?” and intend to purchase an inexpensive, but stylish and functional smartphone, and not overpay for the brand, then BQ is the best option. And the ranking of the best BQ smartphones of 2022 will help you choose a fresh model.

Average price of BQ smartphones

Smartphones and other devices of the Russian manufacturer BQ are distinguished by their extremely low cost, in comparison with models of market leaders similar in characteristics.

So, you can find inexpensive phones from 2 thousand rubles. Most models are in the segment from 5 to 8 thousand rubles. Even the most expensive model (which will be presented last in our review) at BQ will cost only 15 thousand rubles, which, by modern standards, is quite cheap. Especially considering that it is presented with a powerful battery, with two cameras and with two SIM cards. By the way, almost all popular models from BQ have the latest characteristics.

Of course, you need to understand that the purchase of very budget models from BQ is hardly a reliable option. Unless you want to buy a phone solely for the implementation of its main function - calls. The first models that entered the market were not technically finalized and users had many problems during operation. Today they have been fixed, which is why it is better to choose the “fresh” versions of smartphones that have been produced over the past few years.

Note that the parameters of budget BQ models correspond to the parameters of more well-known manufacturers, only they are much cheaper.

Where is the best place to buy a smartphone?

If smartphones from foreign manufacturers have a strict rule that they can be purchased at an order of magnitude cheaper in an online store, then the situation with BQ is somewhat different.

Prices for them practically do not differ, regardless of the place of purchase.

At the same time, in ordinary large chain stores (for example, Kay) there may be discounts and promotions, thanks to which the phone can be purchased even cheaper than on the Internet. However, online stores also offer great deals.

Therefore, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the prices, for example, on Yandex.Market and decide where it is most profitable to make a purchase at the moment.

How to choose a smartphone?

The selection of a device is a purely individual matter and will depend on what selection criteria you have.

If you want to use the device as the main one, you should pay attention to more expensive models with a good battery, cameras, and performance. True, while the choice of BQ is small, as the company is taking its first steps in the premium segment.
If the device will be used as an additional device - for example, for calls, navigation, rare surfing the Internet - you can choose more budget options in the segment of 5-6 thousand rubles, they quite successfully cope with basic functions and, not least, the choice is very large.

Finally, if a smartphone is purchased for an elderly person, and it will be used only for calls and SMS, you can take the most budget option. In standby mode, all phones work long enough and there will be no problems with charging. Otherwise, it makes no sense to overpay for functionality if the owner does not use other features of the device.
