Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4 / 64GB

Rating: 4.8

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite 4 / 64GB

When designing this smartphone, the Chinese looked towards the anniversary iPhone. This is evidenced by the fact that the so-called mono-brow is also used here. The width of the side frames is minimized here, and the cutout at the display allowed the front camera and several sensors to be placed in the proper place. It is due to this cut-out device that instantly became popular - on AliExpress, he began to use the frantic demand.

The device has four color options. Its display has a diagonal of 5.84 inches. Unfortunately, it was created using IPS technology, which indicates the presence of a separate layer with backlighting. So, you will definitely see monobrow, even if you use the dark theme. The screen resolution is 2280x1080 pixels - do not carp at this parameter, which is confirmed by a pixel density of 432 PPI.

As mentioned above, the front camera is hidden in the neckline. The relatively low cost of the smartphone did not allow to supply this module with a high-resolution sensor - the manufacturer limited itself to five megapixels. However, the device got into our rating not thanks to the “front-end”. We appreciated the rear camera. She is here a double. The module consists of matrices with a resolution of 12 and 5 Mp. The quality of the pictures is very good. But also not ideal - the f / 2.2 aperture and the lack of optical stabilization affect. As for the video, it comes with a resolution of Full HD and a frequency of 30 frames / s.

Otherwise, this is a typical mid-range smartphone. Its wireless modules include Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11n and LTE. Also, this device can be used to control the TV. As a processor, an eight-core Snapdragon 625 is involved here. Also under the device case are 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory. It seems that many buyers do not even remember about the possibility to install a microSD card here (the slot is separate, not related to the SIM card slots). Finally, there is also a fingerprint scanner, not allowing prying eyes to see your personal photos.

Virtues

  • Battery capacity reaches 4000 mAh;
  • Four body colors to choose from;
  • The screen has a very high resolution;
  • Good rear camera;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • Large amount of memory;
  • Built-in powerful processor;
  • There is support for fast charging Quick Charge 3.0;

disadvantages

  • Weight reaches 178 g;
  • There are minor issues with Android 8.0;
  • Monobrow may interfere;
  • Not the best front camera;

Meizu M6s 64GB

Rating: 4.7

Meizu M6s 64GB

Another smartphone in our rating, distributed in four colors. He already has a more familiar appearance - there is no monobrow. Also, the product is equipped with a less elegant display - with a 5.7-inch diagonal, it has a resolution of only 1440x720 pixels. Fortunately, not all elements of a smartphone cause conflicting feelings. For example, from the back of the camera are only positive emotions. This module consists of a single lens, under which the f / 2 aperture and the matrix with a resolution of 16 megapixels are hidden. As a result, very high-quality images are obtained, but the video is written here with a resolution of 1080p and a frequency of 30 frames / s. Among the advantages of the device is its front camera, which has an 8-megapixel resolution.

The Chinese did not eliminate the 3.5 mm audio jack and perform other unforgivable actions. At the same time, you can also output the sound to a wireless headset, for which the Bluetooth 4.1 module is integrated. Another product allows you to access the Internet at high speed - this function is provided by the LTE-A and Wi-Fi 802.11n modules. The Chinese have not forgotten about the infrared transmitter, thanks to which the TV, which is not equipped with the Smart TV function, is controlled.

The Meizu M6s were created based on the Samsung Exynos 7872 six-core processor. The Mali-G71 MP1 video accelerator is activated in games. Reduced graphics will be required, but not in all cases. And what is the average smartphone able to draw the perfect graphics in modern games? Even under the body of the gadget hiding 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory. To please the buyer should and fingerprint sensor, at times increasing the level of security. Autonomous operation of the device provides a battery with a capacity of 3000 mAh, supporting fast charging technology Meizu Super mCharge. Slightly disappointing only the connector through which charging is done is micro-USB, whereas now I would like to get a more convenient USB Type-C.

Virtues

  • Built-in large memory;
  • Four color options;
  • Decent front camera;
  • Good rear camera;
  • Implemented support for LTE-A;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • The battery supports fast charging;
  • It uses a powerful processor from Samsung;

disadvantages

  • Display resolution is not very high;
  • NFC is missing;
  • Not the fastest Wi-Fi;

Honor 7X 64GB

Rating: 4.6

Honor 7X 64GB

An excellent smartphone that fell into our rating due to the variety of color options and high-quality screen. The diagonal of the latter reaches 5.93 inches, with a resolution of 2160x1080 pixels. The side frames turned out to be quite narrow, so that some people will be able to use the device with one hand. However, the majority of the device still seems huge - nothing can be done about it. But on such a device it is convenient to watch all kinds of videos. And for games, the gadget fits perfectly. Be sure that the Kirin 659 processor and Mali-T830 MP2 graphics accelerator will have enough power to launch them. Also, the smartphone has a large amount of memory, both operational and permanent.

You can play on your smartphone online, including right on the street. Data is loaded at high speed, for which one should thank LTE-A support. But Wi-Fi is used here is normal - it supports only the standard 802.11n. You can also connect a wireless headset to the device - the Bluetooth 4.1 module is used for this.

On sales, this smartphone can be purchased for 15 thousand rubles. It turns out that it is impossible to call this model particularly cheap. In this regard, it is not surprising that there is a double camera here.However, it acts no better than most single modules, because under the second lens only a two-megapixel matrix is ​​hidden. But then the sensor with a resolution of 16 megapixels is under the first one - it alone does its task very successfully. By the way, the front-end also does not cause any special complaints - its resolution is 8 megapixels.

The rest is a typical mid-budget Chinese smartphone, released in the winter of 2017. Included with it you can find a protective case, which is sure to come in handy. Also, it should be noted the presence of a fingerprint scanner on the gadget. A nice bonus can be called FM-radio - recently it appears in smartphones less and less.

Virtues

  • Four color options to choose from;
  • The fingerprint sensor is not forgotten;
  • There is a large amount of operational and permanent memory;
  • Built-in powerful eight-core processor of its own production;
  • There is support for LTE-A sixth category;
  • There is an FM radio;
  • Not a bad front camera;
  • Good dual camera on the back;
  • The display has a high resolution;

disadvantages

  • NFC missing;
  • Not the fastest Wi-Fi;
  • To many, it seems too large;

Huawei Nova Lite 2017

Rating: 4.6

Huawei Nova Lite 2017

One of the most compact smartphones in our rating. On the front panel of this smartphone is only a 5-inch display. Its resolution is only 1280x720 pixels. But for such a diagonal, this parameter is quite enough so that the user cannot notice pixelation. And it should be noted that the IPS-panel received a large supply of brightness, so that the image is easily distinguishable even under the summer sun.

The device operates under the control of Android 7.0. As a processor, a Snapdragon 425 quad-core chip is involved here. The Huawei Nova Lite 2017 also includes 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. Not much. But the price tag of the device turned out to be very attractive! In Russian stores, a smartphone can be found for 10 thousand rubles. And if you use all the well-known Chinese Internet site, you can find an even more tasty offer. By the way, the problem of the lack of permanent memory is easily solved by installing a microSD card - the system recognizes the 128-gigabyte drive as much as possible.

The gadget has found many buyers thanks to its back camera. It has a 13-megapixel resolution, which is enough to create enough high-quality images. People also like fast Internet access via LTE. FM radio can also attract someone, although the overwhelming majority of buyers pay attention to it at the very least. But the presence of a fingerprint scanner can not but rejoice. With him, the level of security increases significantly - it is unlikely that a thief will be able to unlock your device.

It remains to add that the operation of the device provides a battery with a capacity of 3020 mAh. Most often, this parameter is quite enough for the smartphone to "live" until the evening. You should not count on more.

Virtues

  • There is a fingerprint sensor;
  • LTE networks are supported;
  • Affordable price tag;
  • Weight does not exceed 145 g;
  • Compact size;
  • There is an FM radio;
  • Built a good rear camera;

disadvantages

  • Battery capacity could be higher;
  • It is difficult to find a suitable case;
  • Wi-Fi does not support the standard 802.11ac;
  • I would like more memory;
  • Used not the most powerful processor;

Most popular smartphones with a good camera

Huawei P20 Pro

Rating: 5.0

Huawei P20 Pro

Another smartphone with a monobrow in our ranking. He, perhaps, is also the most, if I may say so, advanced. The latest version of the operating system is installed here - Android 8.1 will delight you with smart optimization and wide functionality. The picture is displayed on a 6.1-inch display, the resolution of which is 1080x2240 pixels. What is important, it is made on technology AMOLED. This means that users are waiting for the perfect black color. And the more of these dark colors is displayed, the longer the device will work on a single charge.

The cut in the upper part of the screen is made for the decorative features of the device.This cutout houses the front-facing camera along with several sensors that serve to automate some of the functions of the operating system. Under the lens here is hidden, scary to say, 24-megapixel sensor. There is no doubt that the user will receive the perfect selfie pictures, which then is not a sin to boast on Instagram. However, the possibility of "frontalki" pale in the background of the rear camera, which is triple (!). Under its lenses are hidden matrix with a resolution of 40, 20 and 8 megapixels. The f / 1.8 aperture makes the camera very bright - it seems that the user is unlikely to have any complaints about the quality of the pictures even in the evening.

In short, this is one of the few Chinese smartphones that has such impressive cameras. But this is not the only advantage of the device. It is necessary to note the possibility of using the device in the pool - the waterproof case shows itself from the best side. Also here is built one of the most powerful processors among those designed for mobile devices - the eight-core Kirin 970, complemented by the Mali-G72 MP12 video accelerator. More specifications Huawei P20 Pro include 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of permanent memory. There is no microSD card slot here, but, as it seems, it is not really needed. But the lack of a 3.5-millimeter audio jack is noticeable - you will have to use an adapter to connect wired headphones. But the dactyloscopic sensor has not gone anywhere - it is built into the key located below the display.

Virtues

  • Crazy Triple Camera;
  • Installed the latest version of Android;
  • Excellent AMOLED-display with a pixel density of 408 PPI;
  • There are high-speed wireless modules, including NFC;
  • Built-in instantly activated fingerprint scanner;
  • A huge amount of memory;
  • An eight-core Kirin 970 processor is used;
  • Battery capacity up to 4000 mAh;
  • Wonderful front camera;
  • IP67 water resistant;

disadvantages

  • Weight reaches 180 g;
  • The cost is over 50 thousand rubles.
  • No 3.5mm audio jack;

Honor 9 4 / 64GB

Rating: 4.9

Honor 9 4 / 64GB

This smartphone comes in two colors - blue and black. The device differs from competitors by a glass back surface which beautifully shimmers in the light. Well, on the front panel is a relatively small LCD display, the diagonal of which is 5.15 inches. The screen resolution is 1920x1080 pixels, which at these sizes is quite enough. Above the display you can see the lens of an 8-megapixel front camera. It is unlikely that someone from the buyers will not have enough features of this module.

The rear camera, of course, is capable of more. Due to the double design, it makes strikingly sharp pictures. Under the lens here are hidden matrix with a resolution of 20 and 12 megapixels. As for the diaphragm, it is not disclosed too widely - only to the value of f / 2.2. But with a price tag of 21 thousand rubles. you don't expect anything else - it would be strange to see a top-end camera in a relatively inexpensive smartphone. In any case, at least some problems begin only in the evening. Well, the day the hands of the user are not tied. In the daytime, he can even shoot 4K-video, albeit with not the highest frequency.

The rest is a typical smartphone from Huawei, built on the basis of its own Kirin 960 chipset. The smartphone includes 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory, a slot for microSD, a fingerprint sensor, many high-speed wireless modules and a 3200 mAh battery with support for fast charging.

Virtues

  • A capacious battery is used;
  • Sufficiently high resolution LCD;
  • Fingerprint scanner is not forgotten;
  • Large amount of memory;
  • An eight-core processor with a high clock frequency is used;
  • Decent front camera;
  • Good rear camera being double;
  • Built-in Wi-Fi 802.11ac, NFC, Bluetooth 4.2 and LTE-A;
  • Not the largest size and weight;

disadvantages

  • Slippery body;
  • No OTG support;
  • The camera has no optical stabilizer;

Xiaomi Mi A2 4 / 64GB

Rating: 4.8

Xiaomi Mi A2 4 / 64GB

A bit higher in our rating was a slightly simplified version of Xiaomi Mi A2. But if you need a large smartphone, it is better to look at the full-fledged model, which has a 6-inch display. The LCD panel was created using IPS technology, while its resolution is 2160x1080 pixels. The aspect ratio of 18: 9 allows you to comfortably do two things at the same time. And this is now relevant, because YouTube has learned to work in the background, as some other video players have been able to roll up into a small window for a long time. It remains to add that the pixel density of this display is 403 dots per inch - this is a very good indicator, albeit far from the record.

Four color versions of this smartphone are on sale. Each of them is equipped with an excellent rear camera, especially by the standards of devices for 16-18 thousand rubles. It uses a double module, the aperture of one of them is revealed to an impressive value of f / 1.75. Matrix resolution is 12 and 20 Mp. Some problems are unlikely to arise even in the evening. Although the optical stabilizer used here the camera still would not hurt. By the way, the smartphone is capable of accelerated video shooting - by reducing the resolution, you can achieve a frequency of 120 frames per second. Also, the user is given the opportunity to record video in 4K-resolution.

As for the front camera, there are no questions for it either. Its 20 megapixel resolution is more than enough to create high-quality images. No one will interfere with you and conduct video broadcasting from any significant places in the city - this possibility is provided not only by the camera, but also by a high-quality LTE module. At home, however, high-speed Internet can be enjoyed by connecting to a router via Wi-Fi - the processor used here supports the 802.11ac standard. Also, users can enjoy Bluetooth 5.0 and an infrared transmitter. But the NFC-chip is not here, which puts an end to the dreams of the owner to replace a bank card with a smartphone.

The security of personal data here is provided by a fingerprint sensor. The built-in battery has a capacity of 3010 mAh, which with the “bare” Android is enough for a day of battery life, if not to get involved in games. Also, the smartphone has 64 GB of permanent and 4 GB of RAM.

Virtues

  • There is no branded shell that will be a plus for someone;
  • Four body colors to choose from;
  • Excellent front camera;
  • Very good rear camera;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • There are high-speed wireless modules;
  • A good processor for such a cost;
  • A large amount of memory is used;

disadvantages

  • The resolution of the LCD with such a diagonal could be higher;
  • No 3.5mm audio jack;
  • NFC is missing;
  • Weight reaches 168 g;
  • Too large sizes;

Apple iPhone SE 128GB

Rating: 4.8

Apple iPhone SE 128GB

Our rating could not do without the most popular at the moment "apple" smartphone. Strangely enough, this is not a jubilee apparatus - it is not very much in demand due to the huge price tag. The most actively selling iPhone SE is now - its cost, varying from 20 to 27 thousand rubles, is quite convenient for people. The price tag in this case depends on the amount of internal memory. We recommend to pay attention only to the 128-gigabyte version. Do not forget that there is no slot for microSD, and you will install a lot of applications. You also want to regularly shoot a 12-megapixel 4K video camera, and it weighs a lot. By the way, the photos of this camera also succeed quite well, although it is far from top Android solutions.

The product also has a front camera. However, its resolution is only 1.2 MP, so there is nothing to talk about here. The manufacturer is positioning the iPhone SE as a budget device, so it needed to save on something. Fortunately, the "apple" giant left in place a 3.5-mm jack, so that the buyer will not need to keep the adapter at hand or use only a Bluetooth headset. If we talk about wireless modules, then in this respect there are no complaints about the smartphone. Bluetooth 4.2, Wi-Fi 802.11.ac and LTE are available here.Wireless payment via Apple Pay is also available.

It should be noted that this is the most compact smartphone in this rating. Only the Californian company continues to produce devices with a 4-inch display. Typing on such a tiny screen is not very convenient. But on the other hand, such a small gadget can literally get lost in a woman’s purse. By the way, the display resolution is 1136x640 pixels - with such a diagonal, it is possible to achieve a pixel density of 326 PPI. Apple A9 processor is responsible for processing the image - the power of this dual-core chip is enough for both games and applications. Nothing bad can be said about the battery, whose capacity is 1624 mAh - the charger is usually required only by late evening.

Virtues

  • Built-in high-speed wireless modules;
  • A large number of color options;
  • Small by the standards of Apple technology cost;
  • Weight is only 113 g;
  • Comes with a nice headset;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • Good rear camera;

disadvantages

  • Disgusting front camera;
  • No memory card slot;
  • Only one SIM card slot;
  • Now the dimensions seem very small;

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 64GB

Rating: 4.9

Xiaomi Mi Max 2 64GB

The list of so-called phablets opens the creation of the Chinese company Xiaomi. This is a real monster. On its front panel, the screen has found a place, the diagonal of which reaches 6.44 inches. In this case, the side frames can not be called particularly narrow. As a result, in size this unit is as close as possible to 7-inch tablets. But on such a device it is comfortable to watch all kinds of videos. For the solution of just such a task, the display used here is sharpened - its resolution, which is only 1920x1080 pixels, indicates this. It was created using IPS technology, so there will definitely be no problems with viewing angles Perfectly this screen is also suitable for gaming - the load on the Snapdragon 625 processor and the Adreno 506 graphics accelerator will not be too high.

Such a smartphone could not get a small amount of memory. Buyer waiting for 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM. It is assumed that many smartphone owners will not even use a memory card. An external drive will be needed only if you regularly shoot video in 4K-resolution. And the 12-megapixel camera used here is quite capable of that. The result can be quite quickly put into the network using either LTE-A or Wi-Fi 802.11ac. It's a shame that the smartphone did not receive an NFC chip - it would also allow the device to replace a bank card.

If we talk about other features of the smartphone, the battery immediately draws attention to itself. Its capacity reaches 5300 mAh. Of course, not forgotten fast charging function, implemented by technology Quick Charge 3.0. There is also a fingerprint sensor that covers a stranger access to confidential information. In short, the gadget turned out great, and even quite inexpensive - you can easily buy it for 13-14 thousand rubles. If only you would not be embarrassed by its size, which is not at all miniature.

Virtues

  • Affordable price tag;
  • Fingerprint scanner is not forgotten;
  • You can control the TV;
  • Very capacious battery;
  • A decent amount of memory;
  • A rather powerful eight-core processor is used;
  • Present modules LTE-A and Wi-Fi 802.11ac;
  • It is a decent rear camera;
  • There is FM radio;
  • The screen has maximum viewing angles;

disadvantages

  • Huge size;
  • The resolution of the LCD display could have been higher;
  • Weight is 211 g;

Samsung Galaxy Note8 64GB

Rating: 4.8

Samsung Galaxy Note8 64GB

The only smartphone in our ranking, supplemented by a stylus. What can I say, now it is generally the only device on the market that is equipped with such a convenient tool (we leave the tablets from the Galaxy Tab S series behind the brackets). It should be noted that the South Koreans gave the stylus an amazing functionality. To select menu items, they don’t even need to touch the screen! If you want to draw, you will be surprised by the huge number of gradations of pressing. In short, Samsung Galaxy Note8 in this regard is not too far behind the top graphics tablets.

With the technical characteristics of the device everything is in order. This is the top South Korean product, which has at its disposal an excellent AMOLED-screen, the diagonal of which is 6.3 inches, and the resolution is 2960x1440 pixels. The display has an aspect ratio of 18.5: 9, making it convenient for the user to work with two applications at the same time.

It is unlikely that the buyer will have claims to the camera. Here, for the first time, South Koreans used a double module - under each lens there is a 12-megapixel matrix. It should be noted that the lenses have different focal lengths, thanks to which optical zoom is realized here. Also, the smartphone is endowed with optical image stabilization and aperture f / 1.7. In short, the pictures are obtained - for sight for sore eyes! User-available and 4K-video. But as for the front camera, it is less stunning - its resolution is 8 megapixels.

Perhaps you can talk about this fablet forever. But we have repeatedly mentioned it in our other ratings, so you can stop. You already know that the device included 6 GB of RAM and a lot of high-speed wireless modules. You should also be aware that not only a fingerprint can be used to unlock here, but also an iris scan. Finally, you can hardly doubt the power of the installed processor (in the case of the European version, this is Exynos 8 Octa 8898M).

Virtues

  • Implemented water protection standard IP68;
  • Many effective power saving modes;
  • Uses AMOLED display with very high resolution;
  • There are fast wireless modules, including NFC;
  • Very good front camera;
  • Excellent dual camera, with no special flaws;
  • A very powerful processor is used;
  • There is a large amount of memory;
  • Built-in instantly activated fingerprint scanner;
  • There is a smart stylus;

disadvantages

  • Weight is 195 g;
  • High price;
  • Not the best location of the fingerprint sensor;

LG V30 +

Rating: 4.7

LG V30 +

Unfortunately, LG’s flagships have recently ceased to be in noticeable demand. But they sound better than many competitors! And it's not just about the built-in speakers. For example, the bundled LG V30 + comes with an excellent Band & Olufsen stereo headset, which is pleasantly pleasing with its performance quality.

As for the characteristics of the smartphone, they can not but rejoice. An excellent 6-inch OLED panel is used here as a display. It produces perfect black colors, and even with a very high resolution - 2880x1440 pixels. On this screen, the photos obtained using a dual camera consisting of 16 and 13 megapixel matrices look perfect. By the way, this is one of the most high-aperture cameras among those installed in smartphones - this is indicated by the f / 1.6 aperture. And the module is able to boast the presence of optical image stabilization. All this allows you to make great shots even at night. If we talk about the front camera, then its resolution is 5 megapixels. These are very large pixels, so do not be in a hurry to be disappointed in this parameter.

The body of the product is waterproof - you can even inadvertently take a shower with a smartphone. It should also be noted that there is a Snapdragon 835 processor, which has enough power to solve any problems. But even more pleased with the 128-gigabyte amount of permanent memory - this is enough even if the buyer is keen on video shooting in 4K-resolution. Well, we will not even mention the wireless modules - it is clear that the device supports all modern high-speed standards.

Virtues

  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • Implemented water protection;
  • Not the biggest weight for this size (158 g);
  • Present FM radio;
  • Excellent high resolution OLED display;
  • Large amount of memory (especially constant);
  • A very powerful processor is used;
  • Built-in high-speed wireless modules, including NFC;
  • Wonderful dual camera with optical stabilization;

disadvantages

  • In such a large smartphone could build a more capacious battery;
  • The external speaker can be easily muffled.

Huawei P20 Lite

Rating: 4.6

Huawei P20 Lite

Another smartphone in our ranking, in the upper area of ​​the screen which has a cutout. Due to this, the device becomes similar to the iPhone X. At the same time, the back panel of the device is mirrored - it reflects the reflections of light beautifully. If we talk exclusively about the characteristics of the device, then the differences from the "apple" product will be mass. For example, it supports the use of two SIM-cards. Instead of one of them, you can use the microSD card - this is in case the 64 GB of internal memory seems small. Also, it should be noted that there is a 3.5mm audio jack. Well, as an operating system here it is used, of course, not iOS. However, we can not say that Android 8.0 is a definite plus, someone more like Apple's OS.

Unfortunately, the smartphone differs from the anniversary “apple” device not only for the better. The device is much cheaper, in connection with which he received a simpler camera. It is also double, but under its lenses much more modest matrices are hidden - their resolution is 16 and 2 Mp. The aperture is revealed only to the value of f / 2.2. Well, optical stabilization is not at all.

If we talk about the screen, it is made by IPS technology. This suggests that the so-called mono-brow you will see even in the dark. The resolution of the 5.84-inch display is 2280x1080 pixels, which can be called a satisfactory parameter. Above the screen is a 16-megapixel "frontalka", which copes with its task in the best way.

The rest is a typical mid-range smartphone from Huawei. It is unlikely that he will not be satisfied with anything seriously. This includes a good fingerprint sensor that detects a fingerprint as quickly as possible. It also uses a powerful eight-core processor, even if not the top one. Even under the case are 4 GB of RAM, which is enough in most cases. No gadget problems with wireless technology.

Virtues

  • Built-in Wi-Fi 802.11ac, LTE, NFC and Bluetooth 4.2;
  • Uses a fresh version of the operating system.
  • Very good front camera;
  • Good rear camera;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • There is enough memory for almost everyone;
  • A sufficiently powerful processor is installed;

disadvantages

  • Battery capacity is only 3000 mAh;
  • Slippery body;
  • The mono-brow is clearly visible in the dark;

ASUS ZenFone Max Pro ZB602KL 3 / 32GB

One of the most inexpensive smartphones in our ranking. In the Russian retail they ask about 12 thousand rubles for it. Of course, it will scare some people of its size in any case, because the 6-inch display is located on the front panel of the device. But the rest will certainly buy it for the battery, the capacity of which reaches an impressive 5000 mAh. The operating system here is an optimized Android 8.1 installed, so some people have enough batteries even for two days of using a smartphone. But don’t hope for more, because not the most energy efficient Snapdragon 636 processor is installed here, and the resolution of 2160x1080 pixels makes itself felt.

On the back of the device you can find a pair of lenses. Behind them is the f / 2 diaphragm and the matrix, whose resolution is 13 and 5 Mp. You should not expect any miracles from such a camera. She copes with 4K-video, and that is good. As for the front camera, its resolution is 8 megapixels. The smartphone also includes wireless modules Wi-Fi 802.11n, LTE and Bluetooth 5.0. You can also use a smartphone instead of a bank card - this will allow you to make an NFC chip.

The low cost of the device give 3 GB of RAM and, more importantly, 32 GB of permanent memory. Fortunately, 4K-video can be written to a memory card - the device supports a removable drive up to 2 TB.

Blackview P10000 Pro

Blackview P10000 Pro

This smartphone is very popular among Russian buyers. When a person sees in the mobile phone salon that there is a device with a battery of 11000 mAh, then inevitably there is a desire to buy it. Yes, the smartphone turned out to be very thick. Yes, its weight reaches 293 g, and only the tablets are heavier. But with such a battery, you can count on three days of battery life, even with regular use. And this despite the fact that it uses a display with a sufficiently high resolution. What else can you dream?

This smartphone follows the latest trends. He got a screen with 18: 9 aspect ratio. This means that the user will be able to simultaneously watch videos and crawl on different sites without any problems. Also, the buyer will appreciate the camera located above the display - it has a resolution of 13 megapixels. As for the rear camera, it, formally, is a double. In fact, under the second lens in both cases, there is only an auxiliary matrix, which has almost no effect on the quality of the images - at least its resolution, which is only 0.3 megapixels, indicates this. But there are no complaints about the main sensor - in the case of the back camera, it performs a 16-megapixel resolution at 100%.

Otherwise, this is a typical mid-range smartphone. The processor here is MediaTek Helio P23, which has eight processing cores and a Mali-G71 MP2 video accelerator. Not forgotten by the manufacturer and fingerprint scanner. Another part of the gadget included 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory - it is unlikely that this will seem to the buyers of the Blackview P10000 Pro. Nevertheless, the high-capacity battery is the main feature of this model. I am glad that the battery received support for fast charging technology, otherwise the whole night would be wasted on this process.

Virtues

  • Relatively good rear camera;
  • There is FM radio;
  • Normal memory;
  • Good 6 inch IPS display;
  • Decent front camera;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • Implemented support for fast charging Pump Express 4.0;
  • Astronomical capacity of the battery;
  • There is support for LTE;

disadvantages

  • The smartphone was very heavy;
  • There are serious bugs in the firmware;
  • NFC is missing;
  • The thickness of the device reaches 14.6 mm;

Huawei Y9 (2018)

Rating: 4.7

Huawei Y9 (2018)

This hit from the Chinese manufacturer. For relatively little money, the buyer gets very decent features. At the same time, the device will work under the control of Android 8.0 - the latest version of this operating system. The case of the device is made of metal, underneath an eight-core Kirin 659 processor, as well as 3 GB of operational and 32 GB of permanent memory. The volume of the latter can be expanded by using the microSD card slot. If we talk about the jacks, then it is impossible not to note the presence of a 3.5 mm audio jack here - the Chinese do not force you to give up wired headphones.

This is not the first device in our rating, the screen resolution of which is 2160x1080 pixels. An IPS display was created; nothing else was expected with such a price tag. Above the screen is a dual camera. Interestingly, there are two modifications of the device. In the first, the resolution of the matrices used is 16 and 2 Mp. The second modification is a bit more simplified - the resolution of the sensors in it is 8 and 2 Mp. However, in any case, the quality of the pictures is extremely difficult to find fault.

The rear camera is also double, and in both versions of the smartphone, matrices with a resolution of 13 and 2 megapixels are hidden under its lenses. Do not wait for miracles - the diaphragm here is not too widely disclosed, and the camera is deprived of optical stabilization. Nevertheless, this module can’t be called bad at all.

Perhaps, Huawei Y9 (2018) deserves the money spent on it.Although the buyer can definitely complain about certain moments. For example, the Wi-Fi module installed here does not support the 802.11ac standard, and this is important for owners of dual-band routers. Also, there is no NFC-chip, which allows you to pay for purchases in many Russian stores. Fortunately, at least the battery does not disappoint - it has a capacity of 4000 mAh.

Virtues

  • Good front camera;
  • A capacious battery is used;
  • Installed a fresh version of the operating system;
  • Decent LCD display;
  • There is support for LTE;
  • There is a fingerprint scanner;
  • Enough powerful processor;
  • High-quality rear camera;

disadvantages

  • Weight reaches 170 g; No NFC;
  • The amount of memory could be more.
  • Not the fastest Wi-Fi;

Conclusion

This is the list of the most popular smartphones. We tried to talk about devices from all price segments. Buying any of the reviewed devices is unlikely to upset - high demand indicates the minimum number of annoying elements from the selected gadget.
