The best smartphone from China. Chinese smartphones: will they help you save money? Optimization. Or her absence

Over the past few years, Chinese smartphones are becoming more and more popular not only here. Let's break down the most popular smartphones in China.

But it is interesting whether the Chinese love the same smartphones as the Ukrainians, or still prefer other models.

And then we decided to find out about the TOP 5 most popular smartphones in China.

Huawei Mate 10

In fifth place among the most popular smartphones in China is Huawei Mate 10. To be honest, the Chinese have a taste, even if the price is not very budget. And it costs about 640 US dollars in China.

Huawei introduced this model back in November, and within just one month, the smartphone has gained great popularity in this country. It has quite acceptable dimensions in order to hold in one hand. And despite the fact that these are the dimensions of a typical 5.5-inch phone, the screen on the Huawei Mate 10 has a diagonal of 5.9 inches with a resolution of 2K.

Smartphone performance is also lacking. A modern and powerful HiSilicon Kirin 970 chip of its own production, Mali-G72 MP12 graphics, plus 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of permanent memory, turns this smartphone into a real powerful pocket machine for any task.

In fourth place is another representative of the Chinese company Huawei, only this time it is their sub-brand - Honor V9. In China, this smartphone costs about $350. Despite the fact that it was announced back in February 2017, it still holds popularity in China.

So, the hardware in this phone is a little older when compared to Mate 10, namely HiSilicon Kirin 960, Mali-G71 MP8 graphics, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM, but this is still enough for anyone and for any tasks. And every month this phone will fall in price, and the popularity of such a flagship will only grow.

In third place is a smartphone from Xiaomi - Mi Mix 2 at a price of $ 540. It was presented back in September 2017. Its biggest feature is that this smartphone was designed by French designer Philippe Starck. Thin bezels on all sides and top. Below are all the sensors and the front camera. This is precisely the best design solution according to the Frenchman. Although many still resent the fact that the selfie camera is again at the bottom, as it was in the first generation model, introduced a year ago.

The power here is on top, as for the flagship of 2017: Snapdragon 835, Adreno 540, 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM. But the coolest feature, in addition to thin frames around the screen, is an elongated 6-inch screen with an aspect ratio of 18 x 9 with FHD + resolution.

Vivo X20 Plus

The penultimate model that we'll talk about today is. So, the Vivo brand is generally little known among Ukrainians, but this cannot be said about the Chinese. This model was presented back in October. And its best feature is a large, almost 6.5-inch FHD+ screen and a completely new and modern processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 660, which replaces the earlier flagship Snapdragon 820.

The phone costs about $450 in China, which is a bit pricey, but the Chinese consumer doesn't think so, which is why this model was ranked second in China's most popular smartphones in 2017.

And here we come to the gold winner - Oppo R11S. This is another brand that few people have heard of in Ukraine. However, when you see this particular smartphone live and take it in your hand, you understand that right now you want it for your birthday.

This smartphone is thin and small in size. And also despite the fact that the screen in it is really big. Like it or not, the 6-inch elongated display with an aspect ratio of 18 x 9 and FHD + resolution does its job with a bang!

In addition to a good screen, there is also good stuffing here: Snapdragon 660, Adreno 512, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM. The smartphone costs about $450.

Conclusion

So! From all this, we can only conclude that those Chinese smartphones that are popular with us are not very popular in China. After all, the Chinese themselves have their whims under the guise of “fifty shades of smartphones”.

But what kind of Chinese phones do you prefer? Or maybe you like something extravagant - American or Korean?

It is rare that when choosing a Chinese smartphone, buyers are guided by only one criterion (so that the processor is more powerful, so that the screen is 5 inches, etc.). Usually, characteristics, cost and brand awareness are taken into account. And which device is worthy of the title of “best Chinese smartphone in 2017?” To make it easier for you to understand the variety of gadgets that are acceptable in terms of novelty, price and quality, we compared Chinese smartphones on the Yandex Market service, took into account the ratio of positive and negative reviews, and then compiled a rating of Chinese smartphones in 2017.

The best Chinese smartphones of 2019, Top 10 ranking

10 Meizu Pro 6 Plus

Smartphone with great screen.
Can be purchased for 23,960 rubles.

A smartphone with a 5.7″ display and a resolution of 2560×1440 is an excellent choice if a 5.5-inch screen seems too small and a 6.44-inch screen seems too big. It will be very convenient to read texts, and you can safely hold the device in your hand, without fear of dropping it. Meizu has also added a pressure-sensitive layer - which it calls 3D Press - to give standard apps a small drop-down menu like on the iPhone. A 12 MP camera from Sony with an IMX386 sensor sits on the back of the Pro Plus 6 and has optical image stabilization. The 3400mAh battery allows you not to charge the device for one or two days. Unfortunately, the smartphone does not have a slot for a memory card, and you will have to be content with 64 GB. And the manufacturer is slowly releasing updates for the FlyME shell.

9 Xiaomi Mi Note 2

Double curved display, 3D glass.
You can buy, on average, for 34,990 rubles.

This 5.7-inch smartphone in its size is the golden mean between Xiaomi Mi5S and Mi Max. Due to the aesthetically rounded AMOLED matrix, there is slight color distortion at the edges of the display. Brief characteristics: a 22 million pixel camera that shoots at the level of the iPhone 6s and Nubia Z11; quad-core Snapdragon 821 chip; battery 4070 mAh; there is an NFC module; memory capacity 64 or 128 GB. A significant disadvantage of the model is the lack of a slot for a memory card.

8 Huawei P10

Very
fast fingerprint sensor.
The average price is 29,490 rubles.

The P10 is the successor to the Huawei P9, one of the best Huawei smartphones to date. Compared to its predecessor, the P10 version has a slightly smaller screen size - 5.1″, a larger battery - 3200 mAh, and a dual 20/12 MP rear camera. And almost all users note the unrealistically fast operation of the fingerprint scanner. Before you blink, your phone is already unlocked.

Thanks to the updated Kirin 960 processor, the smartphone does not have any performance issues.

Another nice update was the increase in memory - up to 64 GB and 4 GB (built-in and operational, respectively). The manufacturer did not forget to provide the smartphone with a slot for memory cards.

That, plus a few small but important design and hardware improvements, make the P10 a good alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6.

7 Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus

A fast Chinese smartphone with a user-friendly interface.
Offered in stores for 20,490 rubles.

A more powerful version of the popular Xiaomi MI 5s has a 5.7-inch screen, a metal body and a 3800 mAh battery that will last for two days of intense work. The Snapdragon 821 processor (combined with 4 GB of RAM and Adreno 530 GPU) makes the smartphone one of the most efficient in its mid-range, which was appreciated by many users in their reviews.

In the same reviews, users speak unflatteringly about the dual 13/13 MP camera of the Mi 5s Plus. Although its sensor is made by Sony, it does not focus instantly, in moderate lighting the pictures come out “grainy”, and the stabilization is mediocre. If you take a phone not for the sake of taking beautiful photos, but for work and entertainment, then Mi 5s Plus is an excellent option.

6 Huawei Mate 9

Stylish Chinese smartphone.
You can take, on average, for 31,310 rubles.

Here are 7 reasons why this device is one of the best Chinese smartphones in 2017:
1. Huge 5.9″ screen. Yes, Mi Mix and Mi Max have larger displays, but one costs more and the other is slightly inferior in performance.
2. Dual camera Leica with black and white and color modules. At the same time, the resolution of the black-and-white module is 20 MP, and not 12, as it was in the P9 model.
3. Long-lasting 4000 mAh battery.
4. Fast 16nm HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor with 8 cores.
5. Excellent equipment, which includes both headphones and a case, which Xiaomi competitors cannot boast of.
6. Large amount of memory (64 or 128 GB), which can be further expanded with a 256 GB card.
7. Very fast charging (takes less than an hour).

We failed to find any shortcomings in this smartphone, except for the high price.

5 OnePlus 3T

Very fast battery charging.
You can buy for 25,990 rubles.
A feature of the latest smartphones from the Chinese manufacturer OnePlus is very fast charging. A striking example is

OnePlus 3T with 3400mAh battery. Thanks to Dash Type-C charging, the battery will be charged up to 60 percent capacity in just 30 minutes. The OnePlus 3T has the same 16 MP camera as the OnePlus 3. However, the software is more polished. The ultra-high contrast images taken with the OnePlus 3T are more natural, but still pleasantly bright compared to those taken with the OnePlus 3.

You can buy a model with 64 GB or 128 GB of internal memory, but, unfortunately, neither of them has a microSD card slot.

4 Huawei Honor 9

New in 2017 with dual camera.
Price, on average - 27,591 rubles.

Like the previous model from the list of the best Chinese smartphones of 2017, the price / quality of Huawei Honor 9 are in perfect harmony with each other. Here is what the user gets for an acceptable cost:
- 5.15 inch screen with bright colors; 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 960 chip;
- 64 GB of memory plus a slot for memory cards up to 256 GB, and you can use 2 SIM cards and a memory card at the same time;
- 3200 mAh battery; transparent case included;
- dual camera (12 MP and 8 MP) and front 20 MP. If you're the kind of person who needs to "press a button to make it look beautiful," then the Huawei Honor 9 is the perfect phone. Pictures even without “playing” with the settings are of high quality, clear. And there are a lot of settings, from HD and bokeh to three-dimensional shots.

However, the phone is very, very slippery, so you should not use it without a case.

3 xiaomi mi6

Popular Chinese flagship.
It is offered, on average, for 29,990 rubles.

This is the flagship device that leads the ranking of Xiaomi smartphones, competing with the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 in terms of performance. It is equipped with a 5.15-inch IPS screen, a top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor, 4 (or 6) GB of RAM and 64 (or 128) GB of internal storage. The phone comes in standard black or white options, as well as a very nice blue and gold version.

One of the main features of the Mi6 is the dual 12-megapixel camera, which for the first time (if you take Xiaomi devices) has a portrait mode similar to that found in the iPhone 7 Plus.

However, the gadget does not have a 3.5mm jack and the oval fingerprint scanner sometimes does not work the first time.

2 ZTE Nubia Z17

All-metal Chinese flagship.
The cost, on average, is 27,500 rubles.

This 5.5-inch smartphone was officially announced as the company's flagship for 2017 back in June. Top-end features and premium design (all-metal body with minimal bezels on the sides) make it a formidable opponent for other participants in the rating.

Nubia Z17 features waterproof design, fingerprint sensor, Dolby Atmos speaker, USB Type-C cable, dual camera (23MP and 12MP), memory expansion slot, latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip, 6GB RAM and 64GB storage. memory.

The only thing that spoils the impression of the phone is the lack of access to native Google applications if you do not have root access.

1 One Plus 5

The best Chinese smartphone of 2017.
The average cost is 32,800 rubles.

Here are the five main advantages of the Chinese smartphone ranking leader in 2017.
1. Advanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Combined with 6GB (or 8GB for 128GB version) RAM, it can not only improve graphics performance, but also improve battery efficiency.
2. Following the latest fashion in the smartphone market, OnePlus5 comes with a dual camera. While the front has an 8MP lens, the rear is a combination of a 16MP lens and a 20MP telephoto lens. Both lenses are made by Sony, with the main camera having an f/1.7 aperture and the secondary having an f/2.6 aperture. The OnePlus 5 owner can take impressive photos with great depth of field, akin to the portrait mode found on the iPhone 7 Plus.
3. With the latest Bluetooth 5.0, pairing and connecting with devices is much faster.
4. OnePlus 5 also comes with a powerful Dash Type-C charger that can charge a phone with a 3300mAh battery from 0 to 60% in just 30 minutes.
5. 5.5 inch screen with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

If the manufacturer provided a smartphone with USB 3.0 for OTG support and a slot for a memory card, the OnePlus 5 would be a real perfection. In the meantime, just "five plus."

Xiaomi positions itself as a brand that offers quality products at a price lower than the competition. And Redmi 4X confirms this: for the money, finding an equally good 5-inch smartphone with a 4100 mAh battery, an excellent 13 MP camera, an IR port, an 8-core chip and a fast fingerprint scanner will be difficult.

The disadvantages of the device users include the lack of backlighting of the buttons under the display and easily soiled case.

A king size smartphone, despite its huge display, is very thin and fits comfortably even in a small female hand. And reading from him is a pleasure. Thanks to the 4850 mAh battery, you can forget about charging the gadget for 2-3 days. And the speed, 16 MP camera, the ability to use a card for memory expansion (its 16, 32 or 64 GB, depending on the model), fast charging function and a very user-friendly interface make Xiaomi Mi Max an excellent choice.

Of the minuses: the lower part of the phone is heated, there is no NFC, so you can forget about contactless payments.

Xiaomi Mi5S
The most productive available at the price.
The average price is 25,414 rubles.

The distinctive features of this smartphone are a custom 5.15-inch screen and a high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chip with 4 cores and a frequency of 2150 MHz. As for memory, Xiaomi Mi5S is also not deprived of it in the version with 128 GB for user files and 4 GB for programs. Users were satisfied with the 12 MP camera with one of the best Sony matrices, which can record video in 4K mode.

But there are people who are dissatisfied with the fact that the fingerprint scanner is slow, the case is slippery, and the battery is only 3200 mAh.

The first, but not the last representative of Huawei in the ranking of Chinese smartphones in 2017. The devices of this company are more expensive than those of Xiaomi, but many prefer to slightly overpay for a well-known brand, a productive chipset and undoubted product quality.

The main advantages of Huawei Nova 2: monolithic 5-inch body with rounded corners; LTPS screen matrix; eight-core chip HiSilicon Kirin 659; 64 GB of memory (expandable with a card up to 128 GB); and, most importantly, a dual (12 MP and 8 MP) camera with a telephoto lens, optical stabilization, a powerful flash and a phase detection autofocus system. The manufacturer did not forget about the functions of blurring objects or the background. On the front of the smartphone, there is still a 20-megapixel camera capable of creating blurry backgrounds and 3D photos.

But what the manufacturer forgot about is the NFC module. And the battery for this price could be more powerful, not 2950 mAh.

This 6.4″ model differs from its “brother” Mi Max in the almost complete absence of frames (small frames are still present) and, as a result, in an unusual arrangement of elements. The front camera and LED indicator have moved down, and the earpiece is integrated into the screen of the phablet. The company installed a quad-core Snapdragon 821 with a frequency of 2.35 GHz in its brainchild.

Together with such indicators as: 4400 mAh battery; NFC module; fast charging Quick Charge 3.0; memory for 128, 256 or 64 GB; 16 MP camera.

The phone is a very good purchase that will please the owner for several years. Like other models in the hit parade of the best smartphones from the Middle Kingdom, the Mi Mix has a very slippery body.

Not in the 5.2-inch IPS screen is the main advantage of this well-assembled and solid-looking smartphone. And not in a 3000 mAh battery, and not even in the eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 955 chipset, although one cannot say a bad word about them. The main advantage of Huawei P9 is the Leica 12 MP and 12 MP dual rear cameras with fast focusing and macro photography with background blur.
- One camera takes color photos, the second - black and white, and after shooting, both of these images are combined.
- Thanks to the black and white sensor, better light sensitivity and good dynamic range are achieved.
- When shots are merged, the resulting image has excellent detail, especially in shadows. This allows you to take high-quality photos in poor lighting conditions.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the clear, surround and loud sound from the built-in speaker.

ZTE Blade V7
Price, on average - 13,989 rubles.

Another representative of 5.2-inch devices in our last ranking of Chinese smartphones in 2017. Its characteristics are more modest than those of the smartphone, which occupies the tenth place. The main camera is not 23 but 13 MP, memory for games and other software is 16 GB (plus a slot for its expansion), a 2540 mAh battery, eight-core MediaTek MT6753, but the price is much lower.

Among the shortcomings: a weak speaker, you can use either 2 SIM cards, or one SIM card and a memory card, the display is quickly scratched.

A solid mid-ranger, both in price and specifications. The screen is five-inch, the camera is 13 MP, the LED flash is "included", the built-in memory is not enough for a modern gadget - 16 GB, but there is a slot for expansion. 2750 mAh battery, Snapdragon 415 MSM8929 octa-core processor from Qualcomm.

A nice bonus: the manufacturer did not stint on a protective film and a transparent bumper.

From the negative reviews: the battery lasts for a day with active use, the camera, despite the resolution, takes mediocre pictures, worse than many 8-megapixel ones.

Even those who curl their lips in contempt at the words “smartphone from China” cannot but admit that Huawei is a long-standing and respected brand. And gaining the trust of consumers in the smartphone market is difficult, as the competition is very tough. It is necessary to produce both affordable and high-quality models. One of these models is Honor 8 with a 5.2″ Gorilla Glass 3 display, a 3000 mAh battery, a 12 MP camera, a choice of 32 or 64 GB of flash memory (there is an expansion slot), an 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 950 “heart”.

There is also a fingerprint scanner and an IR receiver with the ability to learn from the remote control. Are there any "pitfalls"? Yes, this is a slippery case, a quiet sound when listening to music, and when switching to energy-saving mode, the icons change size, you have to restart the smartphone.

Premium smartphone with aluminum body, 5.5-inch Gorilla Glass 4 display, 3000 mAh battery, 16 MP camera, quad-core Snapdragon 820 MSM8996 chip without throttling, fingerprint scanner. In addition to the device itself, the kit includes a protective film, a tool that allows you to remove the SIM card, a Type-C cable for fast charging and a fast charging adapter.

Is OnePlus3 the best Chinese smartphone of 2017? Price / quality is not quite optimal, as there is no slot for expanding memory, and its 64 GB. Let's see what one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2017, OnePlus 4, can offer users spoiled with a variety of options.

And one more 5.2-inch model in our hit parade of the best smartphones from China. The screen has an oleophobic coating. The smartphone has a standard 3000 mAh battery for a good device, a HiSilicon Kirin 650 processor with 8 cores, but the memory for both built-in applications and user data let us down (16/2 GB, respectively). It's good that it can be expanded up to 128 gigabytes. But P9 Lite does not heat up, it switches to mobile data transfer if there is no Internet in the connected wi-fi network, it has a fingerprint scanner, and the 13 MP camera takes high-quality pictures.

This 5.5-inch smartphone is not as expensive as the OnePlus3, but they have one thing in common - the lack of an SD card slot. Its MX6 has 32 gigabytes, you will have to use cloud services. Otherwise, this is an excellent device: a 3060 mAh battery, a 12 MP camera with a new sensor from Sony, a ten-core MediaTek Helio X20 processor, a fingerprint reader, a loud speaker.

What the owners complain about: the Home button often breaks, the flash has to be constantly switched to automatic mode manually.

Meizu M3
The golden mean in terms of cost is 16,536 rubles.

If you are dreaming of a smart and stable smartphone with a very capacious battery (4100 mAh) and a 5.5-inch FullHD display, then this is it. The M3 Note also boasts an octa-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor, a 13 MP camera, an SD card slot, and the ability to scan fingerprints.

What it cannot boast of: a very slippery case, average photo quality, gets very hot.

It differs from the previous issue with a slightly less capacious battery (4050 mAh) and a large number of megapixels in the main camera (16 MP). The screen is 5.5-inch with an oleophobic coating, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 MSM8956 six-core processor, a fingerprint scanner is present. Users have no complaints about the build quality, design and speed of this smartphone.

There are complaints about the heating of the device during games, although there is no throttling, a small volume in the headphones, a slippery and quickly dirty case.

The smartphone has an impressive battery capacity - 4100 mAh, a large 5.5-inch display, a 13 MP camera, a ten-core MediaTek Helio X20 chip, an SD card slot and a fingerprint scanner. Can you dream of anything else at this price? Unless the manufacturer is not greedy and put the headset in the kit.

Today, almost all popular smartphones are made in China. Even brands from the US and other countries that develop devices on their own make them in Chinese factories. But what about the brands directly related to the Middle Kingdom? Is it possible to find worthy manufacturers among them, for whose products it is not a pity to give money? Without a doubt, such smartphones exist. Moreover, the best Chinese smartphones easily bypass the products of companies with a long history in terms of quality, capabilities, and price. To prove this statement, we have compiled a rating that includes the five most popular categories of phones on the market.

Best Cheap Chinese Smartphones (Budget Under 10000)

By modern standards, the threshold of 10,000 rubles is a fairly modest amount for a smartphone. But not for Chinese manufacturers. Today, companies from the Middle Kingdom can offer customers excellent smartphones at a modest cost. Moreover, they will delight not only with excellent quality and attractive design, but also with wonderful equipment.

1. Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus 4/64GB

The first Chinese smartphone, if not the best, then one of the most interesting in the category. The price of Redmi 5 Plus is practically approaching the mark of 10 thousand rubles, but it’s not a pity to give such an amount for such a good device.

First, it uses an excellent hardware platform. Yes, we have before us the well-known and annoying bunch of Snapdragon 625 and Adreno 506. But it’s hardly worth criticizing Xiaomi for using this hardware, because it does an excellent job with all tasks, including most games.

Secondly, the smartphone pleases with a sufficiently capacious 4000 mAh battery, which is enough for almost two full days of work with a moderate load. The Redmi 5 Plus has 4 and 64 GB of RAM and internal memory, respectively, which is also great for its price.

Thirdly, the device is equipped with a well-calibrated matrix with a diagonal of 5.99 inches and an actual aspect ratio of 2:1 (resolution of 2160x1080 pixels). Watching videos, playing or just surfing the Internet on such a screen is a pleasure.

What we liked:

• performance;
• the perfect combination of cost / quality;
• Battery capacity;
• stylish frameless design;
• display calibration and brightness;
• the speed of the system.

2. ZTE Blade V9 Vita 3/32GB

Another good inexpensive smartphone from China is offered by the ZTE brand. This brand has been introduced to the mobile device market not so long ago, but it has already managed to win a huge army of fans. Reasonable price, nice design and balanced parameters are some of the key factors that attract the attention of buyers to ZTE smartphones. In the Blade V9 Vita model, the buyer receives:

1. chipset - Snapdragon 435;
2. graphics - Adreno 505;
3. 32 GB ROM;
4. 3GB RAM.

The device is equipped with a 5.45-inch display, and due to the elongated shape of the body (matrix with a ratio of 18:9), it fits perfectly in the hand. At the same time, the screen resolution of the ZTE Blade V9 Vita is 1440x720 pixels, which ensures good performance of the device in games even on relatively modest hardware.

Advantages:

• NFC module for only 9 thousand;
• screen diagonal and aspect ratio;
• system speed;
• face unlock function;
• Memory;
• good photo quality.

Flaws:

• mediocre autonomy.

3. Meizu M6T 3/32GB

Do you want a beautiful and practical device, the power of which does not play any role for you? In this case, we can offer you M6T from Meizu. The case of this smartphone is made of high-quality polycarbonate and is available in four colors (blue, red, black and gold). The rear camera in the device is double, but the 13 and 2 MP modules are clearly inferior to the dual cameras in other, more advanced smartphones.

Important! The smartphone is based on the MediaTek processor and Mali graphics, so almost all games will show mediocre performance on it. But the speed in other tasks and the autonomy of the M6T are just excellent!

The mobile phone has a screen with an aspect ratio of 2:1, due to which the upper and lower bezels of the device have become slightly smaller. For this reason, this inexpensive smartphone has lost the mTouch button under the screen, which is familiar to the manufacturer, and the fingerprint scanner is now located at the back.

Peculiarities:

• affordable cost;
• dual main camera;
• first-class assembly;
• battery life time.

The best Chinese smartphones in terms of price and quality (up to 20,000 rubles)

Having increased the budget by one and a half to two times, users can look at more advanced solutions. Moreover, their quality and characteristics are so good that most often it makes no sense to look closely at the flagships. Chinese smartphones under 20,000 can offer excellent cameras, premium assembly, up-to-date hardware platform, and luxurious appearance.

1.OPPO A5 4/32GB

A good Chinese frameless smartphone OPPO A5 could have placed higher in this category, if not for the average cost of 16,000 rubles. For such an amount, the manufacturer, alas, could not offer customers impressive parameters, but limited itself to average (in its segment) equipment:

1. 6.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1520x720 pixels (19:9);
2. dual main camera with 13 and 2 MP modules;
3. Snapdragon 450, Adreno 506, 4 GB RAM;
4. 4230 mAh battery.

Unfortunately, the company decided that the NFS module is not needed in the phone for 16 thousand. Consider this nuance before buying a smartphone. Also, an outdated “micro USB” port is installed here, which is very strange for its price segment. But complete with the device, the user will find a case and a protective film (already on the screen), which somewhat compensates for the disadvantages.

Advantages:

• beautiful appearance;
• screen size and quality;
• capacious battery;
• excellent equipment;
• the ability to install a memory card and two SIM cards at the same time;
• demolition cameras.

Flaws:

• plastic case;
• no fast charging.

2. Huawei P20 Lite

One of the most attractive phones according to customer reviews is offered by the Huawei brand. The P20 features a large 5.84-inch screen, which, in line with current trends, features a notch and an elongated aspect ratio (2280x1080 resolution).

For contactless payment for purchases, the smartphone has an NFC module, and for listening to music, the manufacturer left a 3.5 mm jack in the case, which is becoming a rarity today. Also included with the smartphone is a simple transparent case. Its quality is quite low, as for a device for 16 thousand, but at first it can be used to protect a slippery and easily soiled case.

Pros:

• excellent display;
• modern design;
• face recognition;
• fast charging and NFC module;
• great cameras with advanced settings.

Minuses

• the battery runs out quickly;
• The case picks up a lot of fingerprints.

3.Honor 9 4/64GB

The leader in the ranking of Chinese smartphones under 20,000 rubles is Honor 9. The youth device from Huawei offers a 5.15-inch screen, which will appeal to buyers with a small hand size. The phone has a hardware platform of its own production Kirin 960, which is complemented by graphics from Mali and 4 GB of RAM.

Note. Honor 9 supports all LTE bands common in Russia and Europe, and also has a large number of interfaces. Among other things, the smartphone has an NFC module, an infrared port and Wi-Fi standard 802.11ac.

The device has a good main camera with 20 and 12 MP modules. With their help, you can even record UHD video, but only at 30 fps. The smartphone has good autonomy (battery capacity of 3200 mAh) and there is support for Huawei's SuperCharge (9V / 2A charger included), which allows you to fully charge the battery in a little more than an hour.

Advantages:

• the speed of the system is simply phenomenal;
• there is NFC and IRDA;
• GPS stability;
• the speed of the fingerprint scanner;
• nice appearance.

Flaws:

• the glass case will not be to everyone's liking;
• heavy weight, caused by the use of glass in the case.

The best Chinese smartphones with a powerful battery

Measuring performance and large screens, manufacturers often forget that all this should also work without the need for a constant connection of a memory or power bank. As a result, modern mobile phones, at best, survive by the end of the day, and at worst, they can be discharged at the most inopportune moment. And since manufacturers and developers have not yet sought to fix the problem through optimization, users have only one way out - buying a smartphone with a capacious battery.

1. ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 ZB602KL 4/128GB

The Chinese manufacturer ASUS has offered customers one of the best smartphones in the middle price segment - ZenFon Max Pro M1. This device has a good value for money. The device for about 17 thousand rubles boasts:

1. IPS display with a resolution of FHD (2:1) and a diagonal of 6 inches;
2. Snapdragon 636 and Adreno 509 graphics accelerator;
3. 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage.

By the way, if you want to save money, you can choose modifications with a smaller storage size. You can compensate for its shortage in the future with the help of memory cards up to 2 TB, the slot for which in the smartphone is separated from a pair of SIM cards.

The battery capacity in the ZenFone Max Pro M1 is 5000 mAh, and so that the user does not have to wait long at the outlet, the manufacturer has taken care of supporting fast charging. But if this is already familiar to modern devices, then the presence of an NFC module in a fairly inexpensive ASUS device can only be praised.

Advantages:

• high contrast screen;
• excellent hardware platform;
• huge battery capacity;
• decent build quality;
• separate tray for SIM and microSD;
• pure Android OS.

Flaws:

• mediocre cameras.

2. DOOGEE S55

The second place in the TOP of phones with a capacious battery is occupied by a model from DOOGEE. This smartphone is based on SoC from MediaTek, so it is better not to choose it for games. But on the other hand, the S55 boasts a protected and stylish case. Moreover, the device is not afraid of not only water and dust (IP68), but also shocks.

The device uses a 5.5-inch display with HD resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. The device is powered by a large 5500 mAh battery, which takes 2 hours to fully charge. A pleasant bonus from the manufacturer can be called a cloth for wiping the smartphone in the kit.

Also, for its price, DOOGEE S55 offers a pretty good main camera with 13 and 8 MP modules that can take great pictures in good light. The lack of light already affects the quality of the photo, and quite noticeably. But the 5-megapixel front camera here, obviously for show, and selfie lovers will not please.

Advantages:

• protection from dust and water;
• impact-resistant case;
• high-quality IPS screen;
• acceptable price;
• battery capacity and charging speed;
• smart shell work.

Flaws:

• the front camera is not happy with the quality of the pictures;
• main speaker sound.

3. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 4/64GB

If you do not need NFC, but want to get the same hardware as described by ASUS, then get Mi Max 3 from Xiaomi. A powerful 5500 mAh smartphone battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support, as well as an infrared port, distinguish the device from competitors.

Also, the device will appeal to those who love large screens. In Mi Max 3, its diagonal is 6.9 inches, which is ideal for games, videos, social networking, Internet surfing and other tasks. As for the main 12/5 MP camera, it is typical for its category and does not stand out with impressive shots. But for most buyers, it is enough.

The body of the phablet is made of metal, and its screen is covered with a durable protective glass. You can also put a separate plus for the design of the smartphone, since it looks much more expensive than its real price, starting at 17,000 rubles.

Advantages:

• excellent and huge display;
• gaming performance;
• acceptable cost;
• huge battery;
• optimization and convenience of MIUI;

Flaws:

• the NFC module would not interfere;
• amateur size.

Chinese smartphones with the best cameras

Who said you can't take great pictures on your phone? Of course, full-fledged DSLRs can still laugh carelessly on the sidelines, but their dimensions, capabilities and price, along with all the necessary accessories, are inferior to almost any smartphone without a fight. The latter, in turn, can be equipped with cameras that are not ashamed to take pictures not only for a home collection, but also for a personal blog. Some devices even boast the ability to record great videos, which will please those consumers who dream of creating quality content for YouTube.

1. ASUS ZenFone 5Z ZS620KL 6/64GB

In user reviews, ASUS smartphones regularly receive high marks. A similar opinion is shared by experts who note the many advantages of brand products from Taiwan, including:

1. high build quality;
2. excellent display calibration;
3. excellent sound in headphones and speaker;
4. price/performance ratio;
5. attractive appearance.

As for the design, in ZenFone 5Z, as in most modern models, it is in many ways reminiscent of the latest generations of the iPhone. However, the device still differs from competing products in its proprietary cover - concentric rays on the back cover. The same ones are present on many laptops and tablets of the company, so fans of the brand will definitely recognize the characteristic style of the manufacturer.

There are two main cameras in the smartphone and they are really impressive in terms of photo quality. The device also handles video quite well, as the ZenFone 5Z boasts the ability to record video at a frame rate of 240 fps (in HD and Full HD) and optical stabilization. At the same time, the smartphone is based on the Snapdragon 845, which still retains the title of the flagship CPU, so it can also be chosen by gamers.

Advantages:

• one of the best displays on the market;
• excellent main camera;
• productive "stuffing", which is ideal for games;
• operation of wireless modules;
• great design and good build.

Flaws:

• autonomy is not happy at all.

2. Huawei Mate 20 Lite

Excellent design and an abundance of features offers a mobile phone Huawei Mate 20 Lite. At the same time, the cost of this smartphone starts at 19,000 rubles, which can be called a good offer for the declared capabilities. This phone has the best cameras in its price range:

1. Rear: 20 and 2 MP modules (capable of recording HD videos at 480 fps).
2. Front: main sensor with a resolution of 24 MP and an additional 2 MP.

With each of the cameras, the smartphone can take excellent portrait shots. Receiving low light does not greatly affect the quality of the photo, which is very important.

Advice! If you want to invest in the purchase of a camera phone as competently as possible, then this smartphone will be the ideal solution. The device has excellent rear and front cameras, an NFC module, advanced hardware, and a large screen suitable for games, videos and other tasks.

Among other advantages of the smartphone can be noted good performance and good equipment. The latter, in addition to the usual elements, includes a protective case and a film already pasted on the display, as well as headphones. Their quality is not perfect, but it is quite worthy for its price and for the first time they will be enough.

Advantages:

• beautiful design and good assembly;
• charging speed and battery life;
• excellent pictures on the rear and front cameras;
• large and perfectly calibrated display;
• the speed of the fingerprint scanner.

Flaws:

• dim notification LED in speaker grille.

3. Honor 10 4/64GB

In terms of photographic capabilities, the Chinese company Huawei confidently outperforms any competitors, regularly occupying top positions in the DxOMark rating. For example, the P20 Pro currently leads it with a score of 109, which is 4 points more than the new iPhone Xs Max. But if you don't want to pay almost 45 thousand rubles for a phone and don't need amazing shots, then the Honor 10 can be an ideal solution.

This smartphone is produced as part of a sub-brand of Huawei and also boasts excellent cameras. The front sensor of the device is represented by a 24 MP module (Sony IMX576) with an aperture of f/2.0 and a pixel size of 0.9 microns. Also, the Chinese smartphone has a good rear camera, represented by a pair of modules at once: 12 MP color (IMX498) and 24 MP monochrome (IMX550).

What we liked:

• stable working shell EMUI;
• the battery confidently holds one and a half to two days;
• reliable operation of wireless modules;
• excellent sensors with artificial intelligence manufactured by Sony;
• powerful chipset;
• very fast fingerprint sensor;
• loud speakers.

The best Chinese flagship smartphones

If at the beginning of the 2000s, Chinese phones were associated among buyers with fakes of well-known brands and were of low quality, today smartphones from China are able to compete on equal terms with other companies. Moreover, it is the Chinese who create the most interesting devices based on Android, and the price offered by brands from the Celestial Empire leads to stagnation or unprofitability of the mobile business of large brands. In the flagship category, we also included 3 devices that are almost perfect models in every respect.

1.OnePlus 6 8/128GB

One of the best Chinese flagships of 2018 comes from OnePlus. Model 6 is no longer the eldest in the line, because the 6T has recently appeared on the market. However, there is little that distinguishes them, but the cost of new items starts from 41 thousand rubles, when you can buy 6-ku for 10 thousand cheaper. For this amount, the user will receive:

1. dual main camera with 16 and 20 MP modules;
2. productive hardware platform;
3. juicy AMOLED display with a resolution of 2280x1080 pixels;
4. 3300 mAh battery with Dash Charge fast charging;

By the way, OnePlus 6 differs from the updated model in the presence of a 3.5 mm jack, which will please owners of wired headphones. Traditionally, for new devices, the delivery set of the 6-ki includes a case and a protective film on the screen. However, their quality is not very good and it would be better if the manufacturer finally took care of full IP68 certification.

Advantages:

• perfect system optimization;
• there is a 3.5 mm jack;
• very fast charging;
• there is no unnecessary software;
• mode switch lever;
• performance;
• excellent main camera;
• loud speakers;
• the presence of the Slow Motion function;
• an impressive amount of 8 and 128 GB of RAM and ROM, respectively.

Flaws:

• no Always On, though AMOLED.

2. Xiaomi Mi8 6/128GB

Xiaomi decided to make its best smartphone in terms of characteristics also the best in appearance. But in this case, the manufacturer decided not to bother too much and took the design of the latest iPhones. This approach can be scolded, but the fact remains that Apple creates the most stylish equipment, so other brands should look up to it if they want to increase supply volumes.
As for the hardware platform, the smartphone has incorporated all the best at the time of release. One of the distinguishing features of the device is face unlock. Moreover, not only the front camera is responsible for it, as in most devices on the market, but a whole set of sensors that does not allow them to be deceived by an ordinary photo.

The screen in the device is AMOLED, and its diagonal is 6.21 inches. This is the ideal size, because, given the elongated shape (18.5:9), it allows you to comfortably use the device. The smartphone also surprises with the quality of shooting a pair of main modules of 12 MP (optical zoom and optical stabilization) and a good 20-megapixel front camera.

What you should pay attention to:

• great design in the style of the iPhone X;
• perfect main and front cameras;
• there is a full-fledged 3D face scanner;
• productive stuffing on a modern processor;
• large and high-quality display;
• smart fingerprint sensor;
• decent autonomy;

3. Meizu 16th 6/64

Finally, Meizu realized that producing phones with MediaTek and Mali, especially when it comes to flagship devices, is not worth it. Increasingly, Snapdragon is being installed in smartphones, and in the 16th, as in the devices described above, the 845th “stone” model is used along with Adreno 630 graphics.

Note. The Meizu 16th smartphone has three system management options to choose from. Also, the device is distinguished by a pleasant vibration motor, reminiscent of the Taptic Engine in the iPhone. Another advantage over competitors lies in the excellent sound, which only a few can compare with. And all this for a very reasonable price.

The smartphone has an excellent main camera with 12 and 20 MP modules. Excellent photo quality, the selected sensors demonstrate themselves not only in theory, but also in practice. Even in low light, Meizu 16th manages to take impressive pictures.

Another advantage of the popular Chinese smartphone is the juicy AMOLED display, which is not inferior in brightness and saturation to the current Samsung flagships. AMOLED technology, by the way, was not chosen by the company by chance, since it is required in order to install it under the fingerprint scanner under the screen.

As for the cons, there are practically none. To be more precise, it is only one - there is no NFS module in the mobile phone. Of course, this is not a problem for the Chinese buyer, because QR codes rule in China, but for the international market, the manufacturer should still add such a chip if he wants to increase sales.

Advantages:

• the area occupied by the screen;
• fingerprint scanner under the display;
• built-in DAC and advanced sound in speakers;
• excellent main camera;
• attractive appearance;
• battery charging speed;
• high performance.

Flaws:

• no NFC.

Which smartphone to buy from China

When choosing a Chinese smartphone today, you can practically not worry about quality. Modern brands from the Middle Kingdom make excellent products without worrying about the possibility of quick breakage. As a result, you can concentrate on price, features and design. With a modest budget, pay attention to the first category of smartphones. If you are willing to spend more, then the price of up to 20 thousand is your option. The wealthiest buyers can take the flagships, which this year the Chinese turned out to be just great. But do not forget that sometimes autonomy is more important than performance. In this case, we have added a category of phones with a capacious battery to the review.

The title of the flagship killer among Chinese smartphones in 2018 is claimed by several models released in China at once.

The main difference between these gadgets is a much more affordable price compared to the flagship phones of more famous brands.

Although, on the other hand, many Chinese manufacturers are also famous for their products and are almost as popular as.

Most of the "flagship killers" developed by Chinese companies are equipped with processors from the latest generations of Qualcomm, MediaTek and HiSilicon.

They rarely cost more than $500 - although a couple of models sell a little more.

In any case, the purchase of a productive “Chinese phone” will cost much less than comparable flagship smartphones from other companies.

Comparative characteristics

One Plus 5

The OnePlus 5 smartphone can be called the most productive among all models with the Android operating system.

The new generation of iPhones has already overtaken it in performance, but Apple products already belong to a different segment -.

Among the features and benefits of the gadget it is worth noting:

• 8 GB RAM package– the maximum of all possible values ​​for operating memory. In 2018, gadgets with 12 GB may appear, but today the OnePlus 5 is the best in this indicator;
• 64 or 128 GB RAM, depending on the configuration - more than enough to store tens of thousands of audio files and photos;
• screen protection with Gorilla Glass 5- strong enough to withstand drops and mechanical impacts;
• two powerful cameras- a dual main camera with a resolution of 20 + 16 megapixels for shooting high-quality photos and videos in 4K format, and a front one, designed for 2K video and good selfies;
• Full HD screen with a diagonal of 5.5 ", which allows you to recognize up to 10 simultaneous clicks;
• the presence of the most productive chip at the moment– , the maximum frequency of which reaches 2.45 GHz.

The characteristics of the device ensure the launch of any application, including the most resource-demanding games.

It is assumed that they should be enough not only for 2018, but also for the next couple of years.

Moreover, the model looks quite stylish, despite the fact that it does not apply to.

There is only one minus for a gadget with such a powerful processor and maximum RAM– Insufficient battery capacity. An indicator of 3100 mAh is enough for only 5 hours of playing, for 8 hours of watching videos and surfing the Internet, and for about a couple of days of work in normal mode.

Xiaomi Mi6

He also released a model worthy of being called the "flagship killer" - first of all, for the top processor, 6 GB memory and an excellent camera with a resolution of 12 + 12 megapixels, which makes it possible to get high-quality and clear photos.

The parameters of a device designed for taking selfies are not much worse - with its help you can also make excellent portraits of the user himself.

Other features include:

• 5.15-inch screen - not everyone will be happy with this size, but it may be ideal for people who do not need large "shovels" that are not easy to hold in their hands;
• a 3350 mAh battery is a small value compared to many less productive models, but even it is enough for 8 hours of active work;
• 64 GB of RAM, which is enough to store a large amount of data;
• a fingerprint sensor that increases the security of information storage.

The performance of the gadget is enough to run any application (including games) and quickly start navigating satellites.

While the quality of photos and videos is inferior to most modern flagships - although this minus is fully offset by half the price compared to them.

At the same time, the smartphone is frameless - the manufacturer uses the front panel as efficiently as possible, and the dimensions of the device do not exceed the parameters of conventional 5-inch models.

Huawei Honor 9

Huawei's Chinaphone is equipped with a powerful Kirin 960 chip, whose performance is not much inferior to Qualcomm brand products.

Memory sizes (4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of ROM) allow you to run any programs and store a huge number of files.

And cameras with a resolution of 20 + 12 megapixels. and 8 megapixels. allow you to take good photos.

On the one hand, 4 GB of memory is not much compared to the characteristics of other "flagship killers", but other components and properties of the phone make it possible to still get into this list.

These include:

• integrated ARM Mali-G71 graphics that run demanding modern games and 3D applications;
• 5.15-inch display with FullHD resolution, characterized by good brightness and image clarity;
• stylish design - according to this parameter, the device can be called one of the best in the ranking.

The model received a 3200 mAh battery, which is enough to work for 8 hours. When used only for Internet surfing, the time increases to 12 hours. Such indicators can be achieved by the energy-efficient 7th version of Android and relatively small compared to the screen of a smartphone.

One Plus 3T

Another OnePlus model turned out to be very similar in performance to the flagship of the same brand - especially in terms of screen, selfie camera and battery.

At the same time, the parameters of the main device for shooting are slightly worse, the RAM is 2 GB less, and the ROM is only 64 gigabytes.

The smartphone processor is not as powerful either - although even the Snapdragon 821 chip is enough to run any programs.

To other features of this "smartphone killer" we can attribute the protection of the 2.5D display with Gorilla Glass 4, thanks to which the device can withstand drops and small mechanical impacts. In addition, the phone is capable of shooting video in 2K and 4K formats at a good 30 fps. Although the shooting quality is slightly worse compared to Samsung, Apple and Google models.

Huawei P10

The Huawei brand has also released a second "smartphone killer" - the P10 model, which has almost the same advantages as the Honor 9.

It is equipped with the same 8-core Kirin 960 processor and 64 GB of ROM, and the difference is only reduced by 2 GB of RAM.

And the difference in price is due to the use of Leica optics for the camera.

It is high resolution photos and video quality that are the main factor, which can force the user to choose this particular smartphone. For those buyers who are not fond of photography, it makes no sense to overpay for this flagship. Moreover, the selfie camera has exactly the same characteristics as the Honor 9.

Users who still prefer to use should be aware of features such as the fast charging function, which ensures that the battery capacity is quickly restored.

You can pay attention to a good design, and a wide range of colors.

Meizu Pro 7

The Pro 7 smartphone from the rather popular manufacturer Meizu with 4 GB of RAM could hardly be attributed to the real “flagship killers”, if it weren't for these features:

• good dual camera 12 + 12 megapixels. and 16-megapixel front, which provides good pictures - especially portraits (the smartphone has a special Face AE Light Boost mode for this);
• powerful MediaTek Helio P25 chip with the same productive integrated graphics, thanks to which the launch of any programs and games is ensured;
• additional screen with a diagonal of 1.9 "and a resolution of 240x536 pixels. The touch color display is located on the back cover of the phone and is needed to display information about weather conditions and time.

The storage capacity is 64 GB and can be expanded with , allowing you to store tens of thousands of photos and hundreds of videos on your smartphone.

A good screen with FullHD resolution has excellent viewing angles and high brightness.

The only downside is the battery.- the eternal problem of Android smartphones, due to which most flagship models do not work for more than 8 hours in a row.

LeEco Le Max 2

Smartphone Le Max 2 is the flagship version of the Chinese company LeEco. And, although it was released back in 2016, the performance of the model will be enough for the next year.

Considering the advantages of the device, It is worth noting the following characteristics:

• 6 GB RAM to run the most demanding applications;
• 64 GB of ROM, thanks to which a large amount of information can be stored on the phone (although it will not be possible to expand it with a card - this possibility is not provided by the manufacturer);
• high-quality, the image on which is noticeable both in the sun and in the dark. The display resolution is also impressive - 2560x1440 pixels, more than any other "flagship killers" and even some flagship models.

Smartphones have a lot of cons- first of all, this price, which is still high and exceeds the cost of other models in the rating, and secondly, the battery capacity is not too large. Not all users like the build quality either, including inaccurately glued inserts and speaker grilles that are unevenly installed on some instances. But the design of the phone (especially on the back side) is quite stylish - even though it is not frameless.

Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro 128

The smartphone from has an important advantage compared to most models from the rating - the cost is only 20,000 rubles.

At the beginning of sales, the price of the device was higher, but with the release of new competitors, it began to fall.

And now the Zuk Z2 Pro 128 is practically in the budget price category, while having good parameters:

• 128 GB of RAM, which does not even need to be expanded - theoretically, it should be enough for any, even the most demanding users;
• Snapdragon 820 processor, one of the best in 2017, although not the most productive;
• 6 GB of RAM - enough to run any applications released in 2017, enough for many products that will be created in the near future;
• 5.2-inch display, which received a standard for Chinese "flagship killers" with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels;
• 13-megapixel camera for normal photos and 8-megapixel for selfies;
• integrated into the physical button to protect information.

The battery parameters, whose capacity is only 3100 mAh, are not the most impressive - however, due to the use of the 7th version of Android, the charge will be consumed within 8 hours, even in the most extreme case.

And the battery is restored in just an hour and a half, thanks to the support of fast charging technology.

Blackview BV8000 Pro

Among all the "flagship killers" BV8000 Pro stands out for its design - protection against drops and ingress of dust and water gives it an original appearance.

Housing materials, 3 and cut corners reduce the risk of damage to the smartphone.

Thanks to this protection, it is worth buying such a model for workers in extreme professions, travelers and athletes.

On the other hand, do not underestimate other smartphone parameters:

• Helio P25 chip and 6 GB of RAM, allowing you to run applications and watch videos in maximum quality;
• large battery capacity, providing up to 12 hours of continuous use;
• high-quality screen with FullHD resolution and automatic brightness control - although the image is almost invisible in the sun;
• 64 GB of ROM with the ability to install a 256 GB card - a characteristic that is enough to store huge amounts of data.

The disadvantages of the model include the inability to use non-branded cables and headphones. In addition, the protection of the case makes the sound of the smartphone quieter. And its dimensions and weight are large enough for many users - especially the thickness of 13.2 mm.

Doogee Mix 6

It is difficult to imagine a list of "flagship killers" whose smartphones have a fairly low price.

Although such a cost is accompanied by low build quality, and not too good photos.

Nevertheless, the performance of the flagship is impressive - 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM, a battery for active work for 9 hours, a Helio P25 processor and a dual camera with a resolution of 16 + 8 megapixels.

Buying such a gadget is suitable for a user who does not need good photos. But you need a large amount of memory and a powerful processor to run games or applications. In addition, Mix 6 will be an ideal option for a person who wants to buy a flagship, but does not have the financial means to do so.

The number of skeptics about Chinese electronics is decreasing every year. By leaps and bounds, Asian manufacturers are not only increasing the output of their products, but also improving their quality. It is difficult to find a house or apartment today, in which there would not be at least one electronic thing with an inscription that it was made in China.
