Top 10 most popular smartphones

10 Blackview BV6000

This is an IP68 protected smartphone, i.e. it can withstand drowning to a depth of two meters, dust and hard blows. Because of this, it looks extremely monstrous, and convenience of use suffers. For example, connecting ordinary headphones and charging will not work, because the connectors are recessed deep and to access them you need long plugs. Finishing about the exterior: on the right side everything is standard - the lock button and volume rocker, but on the left there are separate buttons to start the camera, Push-to-Talk (some kind of walkie-talkie) and SOS. The latter sends your coordinates to a predetermined number.

The battery capacity can hardly be called a record - 4500 mAh - but the manufacturer promises up to 3 weeks in standby mode, which is very good. In terms of software, the phone also pleased. Installed almost "bare" Android version 6.0.1. Everything works well, you can even play if you want. The only problem with a smartphone is mediocre quality - every fourth buyer complains about this.

Advantages:

• Better security
• Interesting hardware chips (a large number of sensors, specialized buttons)
• "Clean" and nimble system
• High performance for this class of devices

Disadvantages:

• High marriage rate

9 Meizu Pro 7 64GB

Creation of Meizu, which has become a popular model due to the second screen on the rear panel. A small color touchscreen display is not yet very functional: it shows time, the number of steps completed, notifications, displays the widget with the weather, and also helps to take a selfie on a cool main camera. Therefore, sales to the smartphone are made by those who like to stand out for something, as well as instands and users who need to create high-quality selfies.

The model works on the processor from MTK, users in the reviews did not complain of overheating. 3000 mAh battery lasts for a day. NFC chips for contactless payment are not - Meizu stubbornly does not install them into their phones. In Russia, among those who like fun, “Meize Pro7” occupies a leading position in the top-selling best-selling smartphones, and probably does not even think of falling to the bottom of the rating.

8 Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) SM-J120F / DS

Samsung, where do without it in talking about the most popular smartphones. Model J1 2016 is extremely difficult to call a serious device - it is a state employee in all its manifestations.Small size, frankly simple design, poor performance. For demanding users, such a device will definitely not work. However, giving only about 6 thousand rubles, you will get a fully functional device with Android 5.1 on board, high-quality display and excellent optimization. Yes, the smartphone does not support LTE. Yes, the cameras are suitable only for documents. But, for example, I would like to get such a device to my parents.

Advantages:

• Best price
• The most compact size in the category - just 4.5 inches
• Good display

7 Xiaomi Mi8 6 / 64GB

Smartphone stuffed with the most powerful mobile processor. Also, Xiaomi conducted a large-scale work on the errors in the field of cameras, and now their phones are removed no worse than eminent competitors. The main drawback of the Mi 8 is the lack of water protection and a fragile, splattery case (but beautifully). Another model does not support wireless charging and has some bugs in the firmware, which, however, the manufacturer gradually fixes.

The unlock on the face works fine, the advanced camera with the notorious Gcam cleverly shoots, the fingerprint scanner works quickly (faster than the younger generations of Xiaomi). Batteries last for a day and a half with active use, with fast charging, the battery replenishes its resources up to 100% in about an hour. The model deservedly hit the top of the best-selling models, and every day the number of its sales is growing.

6 Samsung Galaxy Note8 64GB

The popular flagship comes from Korea. “Limitless” screen, stylus, great dual camera, large display and iris scan - and this is not a complete list of what owners like so much in Note 8. As they say in the reviews, here the “limiting” screen size is a little more, and it will become inconvenient. 6.3 inches with a resolution of 2960x1440, stretched to an aspect ratio of 18.5 to 9, the screen and AMOLED matrix give a cool picture.

The camera is double - 12 + 12 megapixels with optical stabilization, autofocus, an F / 1.7 aperture and a two-fold zoom. Video shoots in 4K. Front camera at 8Mp. The smartphone could become the best-selling smartphone in Russia if it were not for the high price and glass case (this is beautiful, but terribly expensive in terms of repair after an unsuccessful fall). And here there is a weak autonomy - with fairly active use, the smartphone barely withstands the day.

5 HTC U11 EYEs

The model has become one of the best-selling smartphones among HTC products. She conquered users with excellent photographic abilities: here is a double front camera with a resolution of 5 + 5 megapixels, which takes a selfie with a blurred background. The main camera is a single 12 megapixel camera with an optical stabilization system and a nimble UltraSpeed ​​autofocus. DxOMark calls it one of the best cameras in 2018.

An interesting feature of the gadget is a proprietary feature called Edge Sense, which launches a virtual assistant when compressing the case in hand. And then there is water protection that meets the IP67 standard. Adds an attractive and non-trivial range of colors. The metal-glass case in the red, black or blue case looks impressive.

4 Xiaomi Mi A2 4 / 64GB

An inexpensive smartphone from the right China with an emphasis on cameras, screen and features that manufacturers only provide flagships. There is a 6-inch screen, which is twice the width. Thanks to the resolution of 2160x1080, the eye does not cling to individual pixels: the picture is monolithic, bright and clear.

Productivity is enough not only for daily tasks, but also for playing. Resource-intensive games will be asked to reduce the level of graphics, and the rest of the 660th "Dragon" will pull. RAM 4 GB, built-in - 64. Bonuses - port for charging USB Type-C, fast charging of the third generation and the participation of this popular model in the program Android One. This means that Mi A2 owners are among the first to receive software updates. The main disadvantage of this one of the best-selling Xiaomi models in Russia is the lack of NFC.

3 Huawei Nova 3 4 / 128GB

Smartphone with minimal frames and a huge 6.3-inch screen. The dimensions of the phone make it possible to call it ergonomic: due to the “bang” at the top of the screen and the thinnest frames, it sits comfortably in your hand and does not seem large. The strongly extended display has an impressive resolution of 2340x1080 and an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9. IPS matrix shows good viewing angles, color-rich picture. The camera is noteworthy - Huawei has teamed up with camera manufacturer Leica and created all the conditions for smartphones to shoot no worse than the average camera. There is a dual 24 + 16 megapixel camera with an aperture of F / 1.8, autofocus, macro mode and voice control. The front camera has 24Mp.

The main complaint that users express in the reviews is that the popular model is lightly loaded down. But performance problems are more often encountered when working with lightweight applications, while resource-intensive games run without jams. We hope that Huawei will fix this with the next update, and then the model will surely fall into the top of the best smartphones of this year.

2 Samsung Galaxy A6 32GB

Good-quality smartphone with Samsung logo from the average price category. There is no annoying monobrow, but the screen occupies 75% of the front panel area due to thin frames. The screen is 5.6 inches with a resolution of 720x1480 with a matrix SUPER AMOLED boasts a juicy picture with clear contours and high sharpness. The aspect ratio is a little less than fashionable and is 17.5 to 9.

Fresh Android 8 Oreo, whose work is provided by an eight-core rather smart processor, will please with smooth transitions, multifunctionality and a thoughtful interface. The RAM here is 3 GB, constant - 32 GB, which can be expanded by installing a memory card of up to 256 GB. In the reviews, the owners praise the smartly working fingerprint scanner and face recognition, a good camera and a contactless payment module.

1 Apple iPhone X 64GB

The smartphone, which has become an icon of style among smartphone makers. It was he who set the trend for "monobrow" at the top of the screen, an elongated display, a glass case and a vertical arrangement of camera modules. From the good ones here, the iOS 11 operating system, a powerful processor, excellent cameras, Face ID training and a beautiful appearance. It sits comfortably in the hand due to its optimal dimensions, smooth corners and well-chosen weight - it is rather heavy, but not so much that it causes discomfort.

“Apple” brand has pleased users with a self-learning facial recognition system - if the phone does not recognize you and you enter the password manually, it will admit its mistake and will not allow this in the future. In reviews, users say that after a month of using Face ID, the system is almost not mistaken, while in the first days, misfires happen more often.
