Huawei P20 Pro

Rating: 5.0

Definitely the best of the best. When designing this device, the Chinese used all the most advanced technologies. This is most noticeable on the display. As in the case of the notorious iPhone X, in its upper part there is a cutout in which the front-facing camera is placed, complemented by proximity and light sensors. The screen was created by Samsung, for this technology was used AMOLED. The absence of a separate backlit layer allows you to hope for perfect color reproduction. It also helps to reduce energy consumption - it’s enough to use some dark theme. By the way, the capacity of the battery installed here is 4000 mAh - this is enough for quite a long battery life.

It should be noted that the screen diagonal has been brought to an impressive 6.1 inches. Do I have to say that with this parameter it is very comfortable to play and watch movies? The display resolution is 2240x1080 pixels. For what is happening on the screen is the operating system Android 8.1. There are no complaints about her work. A slowdown is practically excluded. And how could it be otherwise when using the top eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor in tandem with the Mali-G72 MP12 graphics accelerator? Also, applications and operating system help 6 GB of RAM. Well, for storing photos, music, documents and videos are 128 GB of permanent memory. With such a volume, you can not regret that the smartphone did not receive a slot for a microSD card.

Two color options are on sale, but they promise to increase their number in the future. It should be noted that the colors used here are very unusual - you will not find an ordinary black or white smartphone. Under the case is a special glue that provides water protection. Partly because of it, the weight of the device is 180 g. However, other components influenced it. For example, a gadget boasts a massive camera. It consists of as many as three lenses and the same number of matrices! Sensor resolution is 40, 20 and 8 Mp. It seems that with such a camera you can realize any creative tasks - from macro photography to creating portraits. If you are interested in selfies, then such pictures are also very worthy, because a 24-megapixel module is used as a front-facing camera.You can send the results of the survey to a social network via Wi-Fi or LTE - the device supports only high-speed standards. Also here is the NFC-chip, through which you can use your smartphone as a bank card.

Perhaps this is the best creation of Huawei among the existing at the time of writing the rating. It is impossible to find fault even in the configuration of the device! The fact is that the product does not have a 3.5-millimeter audio jack, but the user will not need an adapter, as the manufacturer puts in the box headphones with USB-C at the end of their cord.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro 6 / 128GB

Rating: 4.9

Another very nice smartphone. Its display has almost no side frames. However, there is no cutout in its upper part - the manufacturer left the standard area above the screen where the earpiece, front camera and auxiliary sensors were located. The back panel is different in that it practically does not slip in your hand. It is painted in two colors - a pair of lenses is highlighted with a separate strip. In short, the device is remembered, it is quite different from other Chinese smartphones.

Now let's go through the component devices a little more. The screen installed here is based on liquid LEDs. This indicates the absence of a separate backlit layer, due to which black colors usually do not seem so. In short, here, Huawei has gone the way of Samsung, which is good news. The resolution of the 6-inch screen is 2160x1080 pixels, which is quite enough for comfortable viewing of the film or solving some other problems. But the aspect ratio of 18: 9 should contribute to the convenient use of two applications at the same time.

The above-mentioned dual camera consists of matrices with a resolution of 20 and 12 megapixels. One of them is supplemented with an optical image stabilizer, which allows you to make the shutter speed longer. However, we can safely say that it will be extremely rare to be required, because the f / 1.6 aperture is built in here. So wide open diaphragm opening allows you to shoot without problems even in the dark! 4K video is also available here. Processing such a picture is not a problem for the eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor. With such a chipset, the user will enjoy games too - the Mali-G72 MP12 video accelerator will not exactly cause the graphics level to decrease.

The rest of the smartphone specifications are typical for a modern top-end device. There are 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM. There is no memory card slot, but this does not seem to be a problem. But the lack of a 3.5-millimeter audio jack strains a little more. Fortunately, the manufacturer puts in the box headphones with USB-C at the end of their wires. If you want to use your own headset, then the adapter is useful. Perhaps, it’s not worth talking about wireless modules - Huawei has traditionally introduced support for most high-speed networks. There is even an NFC chip, which the Chinese usually forget. Well, the battery capacity is up to 4000 mAh, which is the optimal parameter.

Huawei P10 Plus 6 / 128GB

Rating: 4.8

An excellent device, which includes a dual camera, developed with the participation of specialists from the German company LEICA. Under the lens are hidden matrix with a resolution of 20 and 12 megapixels. The main task of such a camera is to create the sharpest possible shots. She also tries to blur the background, having achieved shooting a beautiful portrait. If there is a lack of natural light outside, then optical stabilization comes into play - it allows the system to make the shutter speed longer. Saves in such conditions and the f / 1.8 aperture, thanks to which the optics turned out very high-aperture. By the way, the user can create not only photos, but also 4K video. Well, if we talk about the front camera, then it is much simpler here - as it uses the traditional 8-megapixel module.

This smartphone is perfect for listening to music. This can be done using any wired headphones connected to a 3.5 mm jack. It also supports wireless headsets, the sound of which is transmitted via Bluetooth 4.2. At the upper end of the product you can see the infrared port, which is used to control the TV or speaker system. It should be noted, and the presence of NFC-chip, which helps in solving various problems. Internet access is via LTE-A sixth category or Wi-Fi module that supports high-speed standard 802.11ac. In short, the means of communication smartphone provided in full.

The HiSilicon Kirin 960 is used as a processor here. This is an eight-core monster, supplemented by the Mali-G71 MP8 graphics accelerator. It seems that the possibilities of such a chipset will be enough for absolutely any buyer of the device. This can be said about the memory, because there are built-in 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent storage. The volume of the latter can be increased even more by using a memory card. However, you need to take into account that a combined slot is used here, so you have to make a choice between an external drive and a second SIM card. The work of all the above good provides Android 7.0. It displays the image on a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. Sound reproduces stereo speakers by default. Finally, the gadget includes a battery with a capacity of 3750 mAh and support for Huawei SuperCharge technology. Connect the charger to the USB Type-C connector. In short, the characteristics of the smartphone are impressive. They are unusually good for a gadget announced in February 2017. Only someone who can get 33 thousand rubles in Russia can strain someone.

Huawei P8

Rating: 4.8

This smartphone was announced in April 2015, which makes it one of the oldest in our rating. Nevertheless, the device still justifies its cost, which definitely cannot be called low. Even the Android 5.0 operating system, under which the smartphone runs out of the box, will not scare the customer. The image here is displayed on the display, the diagonal of which is 5.2 inches. With this size of the IPS screen, the dimensions of the device itself turned out to be very compact, and often to control the functionality, the second hand does not even need help. The display resolution is 1920x1080 pixels - the naked eye doesn’t exactly distinguish individual pixels. It is also pleasant that the manufacturer tried to reduce the thickness of the device - here this parameter does not exceed 6.4 mm. Against this background, the fact that a smartphone weighs just 144 g is no longer surprising.

Huawei P8 is by no means a flagship. However, under its case is the eight-core processor Kirin 930, at one time considered the top. The graphics accelerator Mali-T628 MP4 helps him in graphics processing. But the amount of memory can disappoint someone. 3 GB of RAM is quite normal, its shortage will be seen very rarely. 16 GB of permanent memory looks much poorer - with such a volume, the user will have to reduce his appetites in terms of the number of installed applications. Nothing extraordinary should be expected from wireless modules. These include LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11n, NFC (this allows you to use your smartphone as a bank card) and Bluetooth 4.1. I am glad that the 3.5mm audio jack has not gone anywhere.

Unfortunately, this device may lack something. For example, there is no fingerprint scanner. Also, the manufacturer could embed a more capacious battery here - 2680 mAh is barely enough for a full day of battery life, and even then only in a fairly gentle use mode. Some sadness and causes the connector micro-USB. However, in 2015, USB Type-C time has not come yet. Do not make a strong impression and cameras used here. The rear module consists of a 13-megapixel matrix, complemented by an optical stabilizer and an f / 2 diaphragm. "Frontalka" also has a resolution of 8 megapixels.

Huawei Mate 10 Lite 64GB

Rating: 4.7

Another dvuhsimochny smartphone in our ranking. And it can also be called such only conditionally, because the slot for the second SIM card here is combined with the space for a memory card. In Russian stores, the device costs about 19 thousand rubles. With this price tag, you do not need to expect impressive characteristics from it. Although some specifications are still encouraging. For example, the 5.9-inch display used here has a resolution of 2160x1080 pixels. Pixel density was very high - it reaches 409 PPI. Well, manufacturing technology (IPS) says that the screen pleases with the widest viewing angles. The operating system here is Android 7.0 - this version is unlikely to become obsolete in the coming years. The operating system provides HiSilicon Kirin 659 - an eight-core chipset with "graphics» Mali-T830 MP2. This will be enough for the average user. As he will not feel and lack of memory.

LTE and Wi-Fi modules are used for receiving and transmitting data. The latter, unfortunately, is not dual-band. This means that they maximally support the 802.11n standard. However, even our language does not turn to call it a disadvantage. But the lack of NFC will definitely be mentioned in their list - I would like to use a smartphone with such a price tag to pay for purchases.

On the back of this smartphone there is a dual camera. However, in reality, the second module here plays only a supporting role - in its composition there is a very modest two-megapixel matrix. As for the main lens, a sensor with a resolution of 16 megapixels is hidden under it. Approximately the same quality of the pictures is provided by the “front-end”, having a resolution of 13 megapixels and also supplemented by a two-megapixel auxiliary module. Another thing that should please the buyer is the fingerprint sensor, which ensures the secrecy of personal data from prying eyes. Well, for autonomous work here is responsible battery with a capacity of 3340 mAh. It should be noted that the device got into our rating including due to a complete set. The Chinese traditionally put a cover and a film in a box, thanks to which you can immediately protect a rather expensive purchase in full.There are included headphones, although their quality is, of course, far from ideal.

Huawei P20 Lite

Rating: 4.6

Now more and more smartphones with a display with a notch in its upper part go on sale. That such a device is Huawei P20 Lite. At the same time, this device is much cheaper than the iPhone X, from which the design of the front panel is borrowed. But the savings in production could not affect the technical characteristics. Most readers of our rating disappoint, oddly enough, the display. It was created using LTPS technology. Yes, the viewing angles of this screen are maximum. But to display the picture, a separate layer with backlight is used here. This means that the perfect black flowers can not enjoy. Yes, and monobrow will be visible even when watching a video in complete darkness. In our opinion, the cutout in the upper part of the display is relevant only if it was created using AMOLED technology.

If we continue to talk about the screen, it is impossible not to note its pixel density, reaching 432 dpi. The resolution of 2280x1080 pixels has led to this result - a very high diagonal of 5.84 inches. Note that the aspect ratio used here is 19: 9. It seems that on such a display it is very comfortable to work with several applications at the same time. Image processing is busy processor HiSilicon Kirin 659, consisting of eight cores and supplemented with a graphics accelerator Mali-T830 MP2. 4 GB of RAM are allocated to help him. Well, to store all kinds of files are 64 GB of permanent memory.

The smartphone operates on Android 8.0. Also among the advantages of the device is its weight, not exceeding 145 g. But the rear camera here is controversial. It is a double module, but the 16-megapixel matrix is ​​supplemented with a very modest sensor, the resolution of which is only 2 Mp. A slight disappointment causes the diaphragm, which is revealed only up to the value f / 2.2. If we talk about the "front-end", then its resolution is 16 Mp - the vast majority of buyers will be enough.

It remains to add that the smartphone has a fingerprint scanner and a battery, the capacity of which is 3000 mAh - neither more nor less. The charger is connected via a USB Type-C connector. In a word, it’s not for nothing that this smartphone got into our rating, at its not very high cost it provides fairly balanced components.

Huawei Nova 2i

Rating: 4.6

Another fairly large smartphone in our ranking. On its front panel is a 5.9-inch display, while the side frames are almost not eliminated. I am glad that the screen resolution is 2160x1080 pixels. With this option, photos and videos look great - it's impossible to find fault with details. An IPS display was created - nothing else at a cost of 17 thousand rubles. not expected. There are no complaints about viewing angles and color reproduction. When writing reviews, many buyers paid attention to the 18: 9 aspect ratio, which makes simultaneous work with two applications more convenient.

Huawei has built in a dual camera into almost all expensive smartphones.However, in this case it is just a marketing input. It is unlikely that the second matrix, the resolution of which does not exceed 2 Mp, has at least some benefit. It seems that the main 16-megapixel sensor already copes with its task very well. Note that the buyer of this device will not be able to shoot 4K video - the Kirin 659 processor installed here is capable of processing the image only in Full HD resolution.

Above the screen there is also a dual camera. Its main module has a resolution of 13 megapixels and aperture f / 2.0. The photos are very good - on the screen of a smartphone they are difficult to distinguish from what the main camera is capable of. It is unlikely that any of the buyers will count on even better pictures.

This model is ideal for the role of an MP3 player. You can listen to music through the built-in stereo speakers, and through headphones. Moreover, you can connect them as a wired method (adapter is not required), and via Bluetooth 4.2. You can store music in the internal memory, which here has 64 GB (it is also possible to install a microSD card). Also, to play it, you can use all sorts of online services - LTE and Wi-Fi 802.11n are used for this purpose. By the way, you can also listen to FM radio - it is also present here.

In short, Huawei Nova 2i is recommended for purchase. Disappoint the device can only because of the lack of NFC. The rest of the product can not but rejoice.

Huawei Y9 (2018)

Rating: 4.5

We turn to smartphones, which can be called budget. For example, Huawei Y9 (2018) can be bought for 15 thousand rubles. And there is no doubt that gradually its value will decrease. Please note that the smartphone is running Android 8.0 - the most recent version of this operating system. It also stands out due to its display. Its diagonal is almost six inches. At the same time, the width of the side frames is reduced to a minimum, and therefore it is still convenient to use the smartphone with one hand. And do not forget that the diagonal did not increase due to the width, but due to the greater height of the screen - this is indicated by an aspect ratio of 18: 9. It remains to add that the display was created using IPS technology, which indicates the maximum viewing angles.

Despite the low cost of the device, he also received a double rear camera. But under the lenses installed here, modest matrices are hidden — their resolution is 13 and 2 Mp. It turns out that shoppers are waiting for shots of average quality. However, is it possible to demand for 15 thousand rubles. perfect camera?

Photos and videos can be quickly enough sent to a social network, using the LTE connection. If we talk about Wi-Fi, then this module maximally supports the standard 802.11n. Unfortunately, there is no NFC here, so replacing with a smartphone not only a camera, but also a bank card will not succeed. But the fingerprint scanner is not forgotten, so personal data will be protected.

It is difficult to find fault with other components. The Chinese have introduced an eight-core processor here, coping well with the launch of heavy applications and games. Also under the case are 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of permanent memory. The volume of the latter can be expanded by using the microSD card slot. Many buyers will appreciate the fact that the battery capacity is up to 4000 mAh.

Huawei Nova Lite 2017

Rating: 4.5

Even cheaper smartphone. Of course, the cost of 12 thousand rubles, and affected the technical characteristics. Nevertheless, this device could not get into our rating. He hooked us with his compact size - now such small smartphones are becoming increasingly rare. Also pleased with the firmware based on Android 7.0. Fingerprint scanning is used to unlock, and many devices with a similar price tag are deprived of the corresponding scanner.

The 5-inch IPS display installed here has a modest HD resolution at first glance. However, with such a diagonal, it is quite normal, as evidenced by the pixel density of 294 PPI. The aspect ratio here is standard - 16: 9. On the one hand, this makes viewing YouTube more comfortable - there will be no black bars on the sides of the screen. On the other hand, working with two applications at the same time is extremely difficult. However, the smartphone was not created to solve such complex problems, as evidenced by 2 GB of RAM and a rather weak Snapdragon 425 processor running at a clock frequency of 1.4 GHz.

Now even such inexpensive devices are equipped with a good camera. Here is a 13 megapixel module capable of writing Full HD video. If we talk about the "front-end", then it pleases not so much - its resolution is 5 Mp. You can even take very candid photos. You should not be afraid that others' eyes will see them. Especially if you activate unlocking by scanning a fingerprint.

The lithium-ion battery used here has a capacity of 3020 mAh. This is quite enough for a standard day of battery life, if you do not run the game. The network adapter is connected to the micro-USB connector.

Huawei Y6 (2018)

Rating: 4.5

Another smartphone in our rating, which has three color options. This is one of the cheapest devices, making it available to the general population. Only for 9 thousand rubles. you get a device with a fresh version of the operating system, under the case of which lies a quad-core Snapdragon 425 processor. Its capacity is quite enough to process images with a resolution of 1440x720 pixels. It is this resolution that has the display installed here. It is a pity that its diagonal is too big. At 5.7 inches, a person with sharp eyesight may consider pixelation. Also, such a diagonal made the smartphone quite large - not all people will find it convenient to use.

The product includes 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. This is the standard volume for an inexpensive smartphone. There is also LTE support here, thanks to which high-speed data transfer is carried out. On the back is a 13 megapixel camera lens. The quality of the images received is not bad, but not great either. It is unlikely that such a device can require something more. But I still would like to get a fingerprint scanner. However, the manufacturer had to abandon it, otherwise the smartphone would have turned out more expensive.

Please note that there is a version of Huawei Y6 (2018) with an NFC chip - it has an ATU-L11 index.

Huawei Y5 Prime (2018)

Rating: 4.4

The cheapest device in our rating, estimated by Russian sellers at 7500 rubles. It is also the easiest - it weighs only 142 g. At the same time, it can’t be called small, since the front panel houses a 5.45-inch display, the processing of what is happening on which the Android 8.1 operating system is engaged (definitely will not become obsolete in the next three or four of the year). The screen has an aspect ratio of 18: 9, and it was created using IPS technology. With such a low price tag, this is good news, because everything could be much worse. The display resolution is 1440x720 - for comfortable use this is enough. Still it is impossible not to note the fact that there are three color versions of this smartphone - in the budget segment this may not please all models.

On the front panel is located not only the screen, but also the "frontalka". Its resolution is 5 MP, which can be called an acceptable parameter. The main camera pleases even more - the resolution of its matrix reaches 13 megapixels. Perhaps this is quite decent performance for such an inexpensive device.

The device is not without a 3.5 mm jack. At the same time, no one forbids using Bluetooth to transmit sound. Wi-Fi is also included in the number of available wireless modules - it operates using the 802.11n standard. You can go online with the help of LTE-networks.

As the processor, the most inexpensive solution available to the Chinese manufacturer - MediaTek MT6739 is involved. This is a quad-core chipset, supplemented by a graphics accelerator PowerVR GE8100. This will be enough for applications, but it is better not to think about heavy 3D games. Even under the body of the device hiding 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. Also, somewhere under the back cover is a battery with a capacity of 3020 mAh. Recharging is carried out through the micro-USB connector. Finally, there are proximity and lighting sensors, which some cheap smartphones lack. But the fingerprint scanner and NFC is not here - it's sad.

Conclusion

This is the list of the best smartphones that are distributed under the Huawei brand. Characteristics of the devices considered in this article pleasantly please the eye. Positive impressions remain on their appearance. In short, such devices are unlikely to disappoint their owner. And pay attention to the fact that Honor smartphones (they are also developed and manufactured by Huawei) were described in a separate article.
