Comparison of phones by parameters in the table. Best Phone - Comparison by Parameters

Choosing the best phone of 2017 is very difficult, because there are a large number of characteristics, and each manufacturer tries to focus on the strengths of its model.

But it is best to choose according to all the characteristics in the complex.

Let's say right away, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has been recognized as the best model to date. Why? Find out more.

Parameter number 1. Phone performance

In this case, the most objective characteristic of power is the rating in the AnTuTu Benchmark program.

At the beginning of March 2017, a study was conducted, within the framework of which a rating of the most powerful processors was compiled. The first place was taken by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.

In AnTuTu Benchmark, any phone model with such a processor will gain at least 130,000 marks. Therefore, you need to watch phones with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820.

So, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor in AnTuTu Benchmark has 141,000 marks.

LG G5 competes with it, which is gaining 143,000 marks. RAM for both phones is 4 GB, and the processor has 2.2 GHz and 8 cores.

Yes, there is also Xiaomi Mi5 Plus with 142,000 marks in AnTuTu Benchmark, but then we will see that due to other characteristics Samsung is still better.

In addition, there are simply no such programs and games for which 131,000 marks would not be enough.

Moreover, the heaviest games to date, such as Nova 3, work quietly on phones with 41,000 marks.

Therefore, the truth is that there is absolutely no sense in such a processor power.

But a powerful device is still worth buying, so that in the future it will be ready for the biggest loads.

Parameter number 2. Battery

To service such a powerful processor, you need a good battery. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge its capacity is 3600 mAh, which is good news.

Standby time is 119 hours.

In music player mode, it will work for 76 hours. Its only drawback is that the battery is non-removable.

In the aforementioned LG G5 only 2800 mAh, which provides 96 hours of standby time and 61 hours in player mode.

Xiaomi Mi5 Plus 3500 mAh - 116 hours standby time.

Again, there are models with large batteries, but all other characteristics, including processor power and RAM, they have much less.

In general, Samsung clearly wins in the processor / battery ratio.

Parameter number 3. Screen

Here, the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge already looks like a clear leader. Its resolution is 1440x2560 pixels, like the LG G5 and Xiaomi Mi5 Plus.

However, almost all modern powerful devices have such a resolution.

But Samsung has a proprietary Super AMOLED screen, and the other two have IPS. And this means that the saturation, brightness and, in the end, the viewing angles are many times better.

We will not depart from the comparison of the same three phones. This is how the user will look from the side on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

That's how he looks at the LG G5.

Xiaomi Mi5 Plus in this comparison looks like an absolute outsider.

In general, even if the model with the Super AMOLED screen had a lower resolution, the picture would still be much sharper and more saturated than with phones with IPS screens and a higher resolution.

In addition, the Samsung has its own proprietary technology that makes even Super AMOLED screens better. We can safely say that by this criterion the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge wins, and it is twice as good as its closest competitors.

Parameter No. 4. Camera

Hint:   The most objective criterion for evaluating the camera is the size of the aperture - the smaller the designation "f/ ... ", the larger the aperture, and therefore, the better.

In the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, the aperture is 1.7, the LG G5 is 1.8, and the Xiaomi Mi5 Plus generally loses in this comparison with the aperture of 2.0.

Yes, LG has more megapixels - 16 megapixels while Samsung has only 12 megapixels.

Xiaomi has 13 of them. But the front camera for the representative of the progressive Chinese brand is only 4 megapixels, the eternal classic LG has 8 megapixels, and for Samsung everything is standard - 5 megapixels.

But all Xiaomi phones shoot very poorly in poor lighting - almost nothing can be disassembled.

Therefore, the Mi5 Plus camera is not even a rival to the other two models.

The photo below shows that the picture taken on Samsung looks brighter, better than the photo with LG.

Also, phones from Sony are famous for good cameras. But recently, experts from the world famous DxOMark resource recognized the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge as the best camera on the market.

Below you can see another confirmation of this fact - the details of this phone at the highest level.

In general, the camera at the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is the best in the world today, so this phone is clearly in the lead in the race for the title of "best phone brand."

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.

Branch Name List of models Features
Xiaomi Mi
  • Mi 1S
  • Mi 2s
  • Mi 4C
  • Mi 4I
  • Mi 4s
  • Mi 5s
  • Mi 5S Plus
  • Mi mix
  • Mi 8 light
  • Mi 8 Pro
  • Mi Mix 2
  • Mi Mix 2S
  • Mi A2
  • Mi A2 Lite
  • Mi A1
There is only the best “hardware” and a screen with a diagonal of 5 inches with slight deviations upwards in some models.

Models from Xiaomi Mi 1 to Xiaomi Mi 3 are no longer relevant, although it was with them that the conquest of the market by this Chinese company began. For the summer of 2011, when the first model in this lineup appeared, an 8 MP camera, a dual-core processor and 1.5 GB RAM were impressive.

Today, models are relevant starting with the "four" and above. The Mi 4 with a diagonal of 5 inches, a 13 megapixel camera and 3 GB of RAM was the opening of 2014, and its technical characteristics are relevant to this day. The developers realized that the model is becoming more and more popular, and therefore they released three more “fours” with minimal differences, but only the Mi 4 version was successful.

In 2016, finally, the Mi 5 model was released, qualitatively surpassing all the “fours”. It had a 16 megapixel camera, a powerful Snapdragon 820 processor and a convenient and attractive design. Later, the S-version of the "five" was released with an even greater battery capacity and processor clock speed.

The newest Mi model at the moment is the Six. Everything is still cooler here: 6 gigabytes of RAM, two beautiful cameras (even the front-facing 8 megapixels) and the Snapdragon 835 processor are the best among all Xiaomi. In 2016, the original Mi Max model was also released, the “chip” of which was a huge 6.44-inch screen with competitive characteristics of the filling.

Mi note
  • Mi note
  • Mi Note 2
  • Mi note 3
  • Mi Note Pro
The difference between Note models is a large screen diagonal. Xiaomi Mi Note is, in fact, the twin of Xiaomi Mi 4, but with a screen of 5.7 inches. Mi Note 2 is not much different from its predecessor, but it has a slightly larger diagonal and various additional bells and whistles like a fingerprint scanner.
Mi max
  • Mi max
  • Mi Max 2
  • Mi Max 3
The similarity with the Mi Mix is \u200b\u200bnoticeable to the naked eye - a screen diagonal of 6.44 inches allows you to call this branch a classic "shovel". The “under the hood” indicators are far from flagship, so you should choose this option only if you really like the larger monitor size.

Features of the Xiaomi Redmi line

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

Branch Name List of models Features
Xiaomi Redmi
  • Redmi 1s
  • Redmi 2
  • Redmi 3
  • Redmi 3 pro
  • Redmi 3s
  • Redmi 4 prime
  • Redmi 4a
  • Redmi 4X
  • Redmi pro
  • Redmi 5
  • Redmi 5a
  • Redmi 6
  • Redmi 6 a
  • Redmi 6 pro
  • Redmi s2
These smartphones are the most compact of all with a screen size of up to 5 inches. Initially, a polycarbonate case was used, but starting from the “troika” a metal case is installed and a fingerprint scanner is present. All Xiaomi smartphones from the Redmi series, which came out later, have improved qualitatively, and looking at their characteristics, you can’t even say that these are “state employees”.
Xiaomi Redmi Note
  • Redmi note
  • Redmi note 2
  • Redmi note 3
  • Redmi note 3 pro
  • Redmi note 4
  • Redmi note 4X
  • Redmi note 5
  • Redmi note 6
  • Redmi note 6 pro
As in the case of Mi, the addition of Note to the name indicates a larger screen. Starting with Redmi Note 3, Xiaomi phones come in a premium style, have an aluminum body and have a fingerprint scanner.

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.

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 how it looks - 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.
