When choosing a new smartphone, we are used to paying attention to key parameters: processor speed, memory capacity, battery capacity, number of camera megapixels. However, in reality, comparing characteristics is increasingly becoming a waste of time.

CPU

If a few years ago, the flagships on Android could differ greatly in processors, today comparison by this criterion has practically lost its strength. Top-end smartphones receive the same or almost identical chips. We no longer look at the specifications to find out how fast the new flagship is.

Of course, benchmarks like AnTuTu allow you to highlight the most powerful of the flagships, but such tests may not reflect the real picture and speed of the device when performing everyday tasks. The largest Qualcomm chip maker compared the choice of a smartphone for processor performance with the choice of a car for its tires. And this comparison describes the fact that installing a powerful CPU is not enough for the gadget to work quickly.

In 2018, it is much more important to get acquainted not with the number of cores and results in benchmarks, but with the capabilities that the chip offers. This may be support for high-speed LTE-networks, the fastest charging, recording high-quality 4K-video.

RAM

Some modern flagships are equipped with 8 GB of RAM, which allows them to store much more data in memory. However, it is not at all necessary that such a smartphone will provide faster access to games and programs in the background than, for example, with 3 GB of RAM. A large role is played by the efficiency of memory management.

In the case of Apple, laughing at 2 or 3 GB of RAM is pretty stupid. If Android applications should be developed for a huge number of devices with completely different equipment, then iOS software is sharpened only for several iPhone models, which differ slightly in RAM. Developers always know for sure the only possible hardware configurations, which makes it possible to better optimize the code and reduce the load on RAM.

Camera

Over the past few years, with the constant race for megapixels, smartphone makers have switched to optimizing more important details. The dimensions of the pixels themselves change, auxiliary sensors appear, focusing and stabilization technologies improve. All this, of course, is great, but the list of characteristics of the photomodule still will not give you a general picture of how this smartphone shoots.

A vivid example of the fact that relying on bare specs is not worth it is the Google Pixel 2 with a Visual Core chip. The latter was created specifically for processing photos from a 12-megapixel camera. It is he who is responsible for the incredible effect of HDR + and the portrait blur mode, for which competitors use a second camera.

Even if you do not take into account the flagships of Google, which are not officially sold in Russia, it is worthwhile to understand that a camera with top-end characteristics does not guarantee you the best quality of shooting. Record aperture and enlarged pixels reflect only potential, which software photo processing algorithms should reveal. It is they who squeeze out everything that is possible from the camera.

Battery

The capacity of smartphone batteries is measured in mAh (milliampere-hours). It is this parameter that allows you to characterize the energy charge that can hold the battery. It would be logical to say that the more the better. However, the bare numbers in this case also do not guarantee anything.

How a smartphone will manage this charge depends on the technical equipment and software algorithms. The power and efficiency of the processor, the size and resolution of the display, the number of built-in sensors and even the sound setting - all this affects.

Some manufacturers resort to tricks, such as temporarily disabling sensors or forcibly unloading applications from the background, to increase the duration of a smartphone. And often this is done by default. Such moments should definitely be checked in the battery settings and performance.

Total

But still it is not worth turning a blind eye to the technical specifications. The main thing is not to exaggerate their significance, but to use it only as a guide. Sometimes some manufacturers of less impressive iron on paper get the maximum, while the top specifications of another gadget in practice may turn out to be completely imperceptible.

When choosing, it is very important to study as many reviews as possible, get acquainted with the reviews and comparisons of the resources that you trust. It is field trials and the experience of using other buyers that can be much more useful than the list of characteristics.

Xiaomi was able to quickly gain an extensive customer base by offering high-quality smartphones on the market at an affordable price. But initially the lineup of Xiaomi was not as diverse as that of its main competitors, and it was obvious that in the foreseeable future, the Chinese manufacturer will develop new phone models.

Today, the Xiaomi lineup has become very diverse, but at the same time, you can easily understand the features of a particular branch of smartphones, unlike, say, competitors represented by Meizu or Samsung.

In order to make it more convenient for you to choose the right Xiaomi phone option for yourself, we offer to compare all the models that have left the company at the moment, finding similarities and differences in them, and, thus, having determined the competitive advantages of each.

If we want to compare Xiaomi based on all the well-known models of the company's gadgets, then we can distinguish three main lines:

1. Mi. Phones of this line receive the flagship hardware and are suitable for the most demanding customers. There is a large supply of power and advanced system capabilities. Qualcomm series processors deliver a high level of performance. The excellent build quality and use of metal cases ensures the durability of the gadgets. Here are the best Xiaomi cameras, characterized by optical stabilization, the ability to shoot in manual mode, and, of course, a large number of megapixels. The most frequent firmware update is organized specifically for the Mi lineup models.
   
2. Redmi. This includes the best budget options for smartphones. Since 2013, they were equipped with MediaTek processors, and now some models get Snapdragon, which, however, does not increase their cost. All Xiaomi Redmi phones will be a great choice for those who want to get a reliable gadget without making excessive demands on it. The device will not be able to play games with exorbitant graphics, but in business and everyday life, Xiaomi Redmi will become simply irreplaceable. The use of simpler components compared to the Mi line allows you to significantly reduce the price of Xiaomi Redmi gadgets and make them closer to the mass consumer. The design is also a little simpler than that of the flagship brother, but the case is also metal. Every year, the technical characteristics of the devices of this line are improving, and therefore it is not surprising that Xiaomi Redmi is currently considered the most popular on the market.
   
3. MiPad To compare Xiaomi fully - it means to remember also the line of tablets from this company. At the moment, 3 tablets have appeared in the lineup, and a real breakthrough has created the appearance of the MiPad2 model - it was seriously compared with the iPad! The technical indicators are really competitive, and we will talk about the advantages of each model further.

For convenience, each of the lines can be subdivided into several categories, which is what we are proposing to do now in order to fully compare Xiaomi for all models on the market.

Features of the Mi line

  In general, the Mi line is recommended to be considered in three main branches. We compare them in the table for easier understanding.

Features of the Xiaomi Redmi line

A comparative analysis of the "state employee" is also proposed to be carried out on the basis of the table:

Features of the MiPad line

  Comparison between tablets is simpler - there are only three models. Xiaomi Mi Pad was a trial version to understand whether the tablet will be as demanded as smartphones. It turned out that everything was in order, and therefore the Chinese launched Xiaomi Mi Pad 2, starting from which they firmly settled in this niche in the market.

The differences between the first and second models are visible to the naked eye. The case of the “two” is made of metal, not polycarbonate, the RAM is already 2 GB, and as an operating system, you can choose between Android and Windows 10.

  Xiaomi Mi Pad 3 went even further - here it will already be possible to choose between two main trim levels, differing in the amount of internal and operating memory: 3 GB of RAM with 64 GB of internal or 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of internal. The chipset has also been improved in comparison with a more budget “two” - instead of Intel Atom X5-Z8500 appeared Intel Atom X7-Z8700.

Xiaomi Redmi S Phones

In 2018, Xiaomi expanded the Redmi line by adding a device called the Redmi S2 to Xiaomi Redmi S2 (the company did not release the S1 phone). Who is this phone for? To get the answer to this question, it is best to compare this gadget with some other device of the Redmi series. And it will be more convenient to compare it with Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus. After all, both of these phones are equipped with a 5.99-inch display, a Snapdragon 625 processor, and have almost the same cost. What is the difference between these smartphones? Redmi 5 Plus has a better screen, the resolution of which is Full HD + (and not HD +), and which gives a clearer picture. Another significant advantage of this device is that its battery capacity is 4,000 (and not 3,080 mA / h), and it can work offline from 1.5 to 2 days (Redmi S2 lasts only 24 hours) .

What then are the features of the “S” series phone? The first feature is that the gadget has a dual-module camera. In practice, however, the images from both devices have the same quality comparable to each other. Unless Redmi S2 can take photos with blurring the background. The real differences between the phones are that the S2 has a 16-megapixel front camera, and the selfie shots from this unit are clearer. And this phone is also equipped with digital stabilization when shooting video, and also has a three-section tray for 2 SIM cards and one memory card. There is a budget smartphone for selfies with the ability to install dual-SIM cards and flash drives in Russian retail from 15,990 rubles.

Pocophone smartphones

In 2018, a significant event took place at Xiaomi. For the first time in its history, the manufacturer released a smartphone not under the already well-known Xiaomi brand, but under the new Pocophone sub-brand. The new device was the Pocophone F1. Pocophone F1 The main feature of the gadget was the presence of the latest high-performance chip Snapdragon 845 (the same as on the super flagship Xiapmi Mi8). Moreover, the device has become the cheapest smartphone on the market equipped with this board. If you compare the Pocophone F1 with the flagship Xiaomi model, it’s immediately evident that for less money you will get a device with exactly the same performance, the same (diagonal in size) display, the ability to expand memory by installing a flash drive, a headphone jack 3.5 mm, stereo speakers and a more capacious battery (4,000 mA / h versus 3,080).

On the Xiaomi Mi8 side, there will remain more premium case materials (Pocophone F1 is simply plastic), a better-quality screen matrix (Super AMOLED) and a more advanced camera. The Mi8 camera has optical stabilization, a lower focal number, which allows you to take better pictures in the dark, and a higher resolution of the auxiliary (second) module of the main camera.

The cost of Pocophone F1 version 6/64 GB during premiere sales on TMAll is 20 900 rubles. A similar model Xiaomi Mi8 costs 29,600 rubles.

What to give preference to?

Before choosing a particular model of Xiaomi smartphones, decide why you need a phone. If you plan to use it in everyday life or for business, then you can safely choose one of the "state employees", saving money and getting a completely high-quality product for the money invested. If you want to follow the latest fashion trends, trying every game just released, then it's best to immediately consider one of the flagship smartphones Mi.

In addition to the price, one of the parameters for assessing Xiaomi's compliance with your expectations will be screen size. There is plenty to choose from - from small and stylish business models to "shovels" with a huge monitor. If it’s just the “shovels” that appeal to you, then finding them is very simple - find the name containing Note, Mix or Max, and after that you will only have to decide on your preferred device specifications.

Russian technology buyers still believe in the immutability of the following primitive proportions: the higher the price of a product, the higher its quality. Although in the mobile market this law has long been acting “insofar as” - the cost of goods here depends on the brand, technical characteristics, how much the manufacturer had to spend on advertising, and on many other variables. The quality of the gadget as a pricing factor is far from the top of the list.

The current market situation is the most favorable in order to buy an inexpensive, but high-quality smartphone. Check out our rating of smartphones - and you will find out which of the 2017 devices will justify every ruble invested in them.

Price: from 13 570 rublesSamsung can not be called a "cheap" manufacturer - even within the framework of the budget lines of the Korean company, smartphones cost from 10 thousand rubles. However, in 2017, Samsung was pleasantly surprised by the updated J5, which justifies its price by 100%.

In just a year, the J5 has evolved from an ugly plastic duckling into a beautiful aluminum swan. The 2017 model boasts a premium metal design and a SuperAMOLED screen made using 2.5D technology. In addition, the device received a fingerprint sensor, thanks to which the user can pay for purchases using Samsung Pay, and a selfie camera of killer quality.

1. ASUS Zenfone 3 ZE520KL

• CPU:Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 MSM8953 octa-core, 2 GHz.
• Memory (operational / user):3 GB / 32 GB
• Display:diagonal of 2 inches, resolution FullHD
• Cameras (main / front):16 megapixels / 8 megapixels
• Battery:2 650 mAh

Price: from 14,200 rublesWhen ASUS calls the Zenfone 3 ZE520KL “a masterpiece of modern engineering” on its official website, it does not exaggerate - it is difficult to find a smartphone that would look just as beautiful and original. The back panel of the device is decorated with a pattern of concentric circles - an indispensable element of the famous ASUS Zen-design, which was awarded a separate award at Computex 2016. The Zenfone 3 ZE520KL case made of durable Gorilla Glass has a minimum thickness of only 7.69 mm.

However, the device from ASUS receives the title of the best smartphone in terms of “price / quality” not only for what it looks like - it is also a jack of all trades. Photographers will appreciate the 16-megapixel camera with triple autofocus, which supports both optical and electronic stabilization. Game lovers will be delighted when they test Qualcomm's 64-bit processor, made using 14 nm technology. Melomanov will be impressed by the sound processed by SonicMaster audio technology.

HTC and in our ranking are not represented - and this is easy to explain. The devices of well-known companies are overrated.  Nobody casts doubt on their quality, but you can also find cheaper smartphones with similar characteristics, assembled just as scrupulously - just pay attention to the products of Chinese manufacturers of the "middle hand", like Doogee or Blackview.

Unfortunately, overpaying for a brand is the norm for the current mobile market. However, there is hope that the “Chinese invasion” will change the situation and buyers will understand: giving money for big names is stupid.

The computer has long become a reliable companion of man. With it, a simple person can access a huge database of information and media files, simplify the work, and professionals, scientists - quickly and accurately carry out calculations, modeling. Ten years ago, compact computers came into the masses - smartphones. By the end of 2017, they appeared in almost every pocket. And it so happened that the average lifespan of a modern phone is a year and a half, after which the once-ideal device is sent to a distant box.

But many people do not intend to change devices so often. In addition, the performance of smartphones is quite enough for a couple of years. The only problem remains the quality of the devices - many models after a few months of use begin to "crumble": the screen turns yellow, the battery capacity is lost, the case is scratched. But there were real centenarians who will please the user for several years.

In this review you will find, in our opinion, some of the best phones in terms of quality and reliability. For us, such indicators of a mobile phone (smartphone) are important as:

1. Affordable price. The phone should not be too expensive, because the high price is far from always an indicator of quality. And the fact that the device should be affordable is extremely important.
2. The lack of a large number of negative reviews on reliability, warranty claims, poor assembly.
3. Specifications. The rating includes phones that can compete in their technical characteristics with other models in the same price segment.

The best quality inexpensive phones: budget up to 10 000 rubles.

Average price: 14 990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.9

The Korean smartphone Samsung Galaxy J5 is the best choice on a budget of up to 20,000 rubles. This is not just a stylish, but also a very high-quality device - according to customer reviews, the gadget works without complaints for several years.

1 Apple iPhone SE 16Gb

Better Performance and High Reliability
A country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 30 900 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.8

Apple iPhone SE 16Gb - one of the flagship smartphones of the American corporation, ranks first in the ranking of the best devices worth up to 50 000 rubles. The device is made on the basis of the popular Apple iPhone 5S model, from which the case was borrowed, but the filling inside is more modern. The branded iOS OS is both the advantage and disadvantage of a smartphone. She is loved for its high speed, lack of “brakes” and simplicity. But the inability to download music, applications and other files from a computer spoils the whole picture.

The classic case is made of aviation aluminum, due to which the gadget has not only low weight (only 113 grams), but also high strength. A quick fingerprint scanner is built into the mechanical key on the front panel. The display is small - only 4 ”, but thanks to the proprietary IPS matrix and high ppi, it will give odds to its competitors with large screens in terms of image transmission quality. Reliability and excellent reliability make the Apple iPhone SE 16Gb the best device for every day.

Top quality premium smartphones

Which phone will stay relevant for the most amount of time? Of course, top-end devices. Their filling allows you not to think about slowing down for at least 2 years, and a comfortable speed will be provided even longer. In this category, we tried to select for you the highest quality premium smartphones, so that the reason for his change was the user's own desire, and not technical problems.

3 Samsung Galaxy S8

The most proven premium smartphone
Country: South Korea
Average price: 44 720 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.8

Finally, the leader in the ranking of quality premium smartphones is the Galaxy S8. The model was introduced in early 2017. Almost a year of being on the counter, all possible shortcomings were revealed, the firmware was updated several times, and now we have a very high-quality phone with a minimum reject rate and high reliability. And yes, you can be calm - Samsung batteries no longer explode!

By filling, we have a typical flagship of 2017. Inside installed Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 paired with 4 GB of RAM - the figures are not record-breaking, but for the vast majority of users this bundle will last for several years of trouble-free operation. In addition to the filling, attention is attracted by a chic frameless 5.8-inch display. The diagonal is large, but due to the minimal horizontal and completely absent vertical frames (the display goes to the side faces), the dimensions of the device remained relatively compact. It is also worth praising the Galaxy S8 for one of the best cameras on the market, the availability of dust and moisture protection and fast wireless charging. The only complaint about the phone is the not very well-located fingerprint scanner, which is why many users turn it off.

2 LG V30 +

The best cameras and sound. Shockproof housing

Average price: 51 990 rub.
Rating (2018): 4.8

The second line of the ranking is occupied by the brand new LG V30 +. The model was introduced recently, but it has already become clear - everything is in order with reliability. Firstly, shock resistance and dust and water protection are declared according to the IP68 standard. The first tests confirm this. The V30 + really withstands impact on the asphalt without serious consequences. Secondly, since the launch (in 3 months), there have not been a single complaint on the web about manufacturing defects, as happened, for example, with the new iPhone X. This directly indicates the high reliability and quality of the smartphone.

In addition to reliability, we will be interested in performance in the flagship. It is provided by the top Snapdragon 835. About its power, communication modules, etc. We will not talk - everything is at the highest level. Attention is also paid to the amazing 6-inch bezelless screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, which received the title of one of the best in 2017; the highest-quality dual-module camera with a record f / 1.6 aperture and a dedicated DAC that enhances sound quality to unrealistic heights, which can be estimated using the bundled headphones of the world-famous Bang & Olufsen.

Rating (2018): 4.7

The rating opened by the iPhone 8 presented in the fall of 2017. The novelty received a large number of innovations, among which the most noticeable was the change in the material of the case - now this glass. But do not think that the smartphone has become more fragile. On the contrary, judging by the many "crash tests", the resistance to falls and scratches has increased significantly. When falling from a height of human growth, a smartphone can get off with just a couple of scratches on a metal frame. This solution also allowed the installation of a wireless charging module.

The filling has also changed. Inside, the brand-new Apple A11 Bionic is installed, the performance of which is not even worth it - enough for years to come. Communication modules are the latest - Bluetooth 5.0, which supports connection with several devices at once, LTE-A and other delights of the modern world. The dust and water protection, which first appeared in the iPhone 7, remained in place - you can not worry even while swimming with a smartphone. Otherwise, we have before us the familiar “seven”, all the problems of which have long been studied and corrected.
