However, they do not interfere with recommending the Xiaomi Mi8 Lite to all those looking for a smartphone with a good battery and camera.

# 3 - Honor 8X

Price: 16 990 rubles

Honor 8X definitely claims to be the most beautiful model in our rating - the glass with a 15-layer coating on the back of the smartphone looks very impressive, but for lovers of minimalism, this solution will seem too catchy. But everyone will surely love the 6.5-inch display with a resolution of 2340 by 1080 pixels. It occupies 91% of the entire front surface and pleases with rich colors and viewing angles, but in the sun the situation is completely different - due to the average reserve of brightness, the image becomes difficult to distinguish.

The main camera, represented by two sensors with a resolution of 20 and 2 MP, produces excellent images with excellent detail. If you turn on the AI mode, the colors will become more saturated. There is a special mode for shooting at night, the difference between it and the usual one is colossal - the number of captured details is much higher, although the noise from this does not disappear anywhere.

# 2 - Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018)

Price: 19,990 rubles

The Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) uses a 6-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2220 by 1080 pixels. The matrix is perfectly calibrated - the levels of saturation and contrast of the image are pleasing, the color rendition is natural, and the viewing angles are maximum. In general, there is nothing to complain about.

However, the smartphone is interesting to others, namely the triple main camera. So, the first sensor with a resolution of 5 MP is needed to determine the depth of field and create portrait shots, the 8-megapixel is wide-angle, and the 24-megapixel is the main one. In addition, there is an intelligent detection of scenes, of which there are more than 20. Thanks to the combination of all the components, the pictures are great, with the correct color balance.

The Exynos 7885 processor with its low power consumption can handle any task, including heavy games. It has a capacity potential, so it should be enough for 2019. The negative aspects of the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) include only the lack of water protection and fast charging, as well as the meager headset that comes with the kit.

Samsung Galaxy A7 2018

This sensor also features an increased photosensitive pixel size of up to 1.25 nm with the Prim ISP single pixel isolation technology. This results in surprisingly little color noise and very natural color reproduction. The bottom monochrome sensor has 2 megapixels. At first glance, this is very little. Even Xiaomi Redmi Pro has a 5 megapixel auxiliary module, not to mention the flagship Honor 8, where the second module has the same resolution as the first - 12 megapixels. However, Huawei explains that 2 megapixels of the lower sensor is quite enough. its task is to capture as much light as possible, since monochrome matrices are much more sensitive than color ones. The camera combines the light from the lower sensor with the color of the upper one and produces very high quality photos even in low light conditions. In addition, thanks to the dual camera, Honor 6X can do what the creators of the 7th iPhone boasted - bokeh (i.e. the ability to beautifully blur the background in the photo). There is another interesting feature - Selective Color Fill allows you to add color accents to black and white photos.

The 8MP front camera is equipped with a 77 ° wide-angle lens and a Prim image processor. There is a function of identifying faces. Without autofocus, while, according to reviews, she takes a selfie of very high quality.

The specialists of the resource hi-tech.mail.ru conducted a comparative test of the cameras of both phones and found out that in daylight the photos from Mi A1 actually look brighter and more contrast than the photos from its eminent competitor. Optical zoom works the same way, camera changes are quick, but the iPhone 7 Plus produces more detail. However, the front-facing camera does not shine with a resolution (only 5 megapixels with a separate photosensitive element of 1.12 microns), lacks autofocus and is not suitable for shooting in low light conditions. But in general, a very good result for a Xiaomi phone, which costs 3 times cheaper than an iPhone.

There is a slot for memory cards up to 265 GB (combined with a slot for a second SIM card). Battery capacity - 3000 mAh. The battery life is 20 hours of talk time, 67 hours of music listening. Let's dwell on these specs a bit and compare them to last year's Galaxy S7 Edge. The diagonal of the screen has increased by 0.3 inches, the resolution has also noticeably increased, while the phone itself, paradoxically, has become even a little smaller and lighter. This effect was achieved due to the fact that the screen now occupies more than 80% of the front panel area: physical buttons have disappeared (they have become touch-sensitive), the Samsung inscription, there are practically no side frames, the free space and took up the screen. The amount of permanent memory has doubled. However, there is a small step back: the battery capacity has decreased, in this regard, the battery life has become shorter, while it is about the same as, for example, the seventh iPhone. The processor is a proprietary Samsung Exynos 8895.

In terms of cameras, Samsung decided to ignore the trend of dual main camera in the flagship model, which was followed by Apple, Huawei, LG and in the old-fashioned way has a single main camera improved over the already excellent S7 camera. The S8 has a new 12MP Sony IMX333 sensor with DualPixel technology. The front camera (8MP) is equipped with a bright lens for perfect selfies even at night, and also supports Intelligent AF with Face Detection. By the way, face recognition has become one of the interesting features of the S8: you don't need to use a fingerprint scanner to unlock your smartphone, you just need to show your face to the smartphone. There is also a third method: scanning the iris of the eye (however, this method will be inconvenient because wearers of glasses or contact lenses).

Dxomark scored 88 points for the Galaxy S8. Galaxy S8 took part in two blind tests conducted among readers of the hi-tech.mail.ru portal in 2017. In the April test, the Korean flagship took the second place after Huawei P10. The editors of the portal in a professional assessment also gave the Galaxy S8 silver after the Google Pixel, commenting on the capabilities of the camera as follows: “The Galaxy S8 Plus camera is universal. It does not give out amazing sharpness, huge dynamic range or detailed shots in the dark. excellent result. We can safely recommend it to mobile photographers. " In the June blind test, the Galaxy S8 finished second again, this time behind the Honor 8 Pro. The editors gave the Galaxy S8 the first place, while the Google Pixel did not take part in the test.

HTC U11 64Gb

The average price is 35,500 rubles. You can buy HTC U11 64Gb on Aliexpress for 30.8 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free).

The flagship from the Taiwanese manufacturer went on sale in June 2017 and today received 72% of fives in reviews in Yandex-Market. The number of recommendations in Yandex-Market is 85%.

Already at the start of sales, it is obvious that, unexpectedly for everyone, HTC released the brightest flagship of the first half of 2017, which surpassed the competitors in camera quality and performance. The excellent camera quality of the HTC U11 was expected, given that last year's flagship HTC 10 was in the title of owner for almost the entire year best camera 2016, only giving way to Google Pixel in October. After the release of HTC U11, it topped the rating of the photographic resource Dxomark and was ousted only in the fall with the releases of new iPhones, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2. Dxomark gave the HTC flagship camera 90 points for photography and 89 points for video. The average score was 90.

The main module has a 12-megapixel UltraPixel 3 sensor with a pixel size of 1.4 microns, optics with an f / 1.7 aperture and optical stabilization. The UltraSpeed Autofocus system is responsible for focusing, in which every pixel is involved.

The review on the hi-tech.mail.ru portal says about the camera of this model:

"The U11 locks onto its target instantly, without missing, even in low light.

I was impressed by the work of the software. You do 10 frames in a row - and all 10 will be the same. That is, the settings for exposure, shutter speed, ISO do not get lost at the slightest movement of the phone, and the built-in algorithms do not recognize this as a change in composition. This is often found in Chinese smartphones, and even in some flagships, such as the Google Pixel or LG G6. There, the two photos can differ in brightness or graininess - as the automation wishes.

When shooting against the sun or bright skies, HDR Boost "stretches" details even in the darkest areas. The dynamic range is as wide as in the Google Pixel shots. The logic is there: the companies collaborated on the Pixel. Perhaps HTC has lent the capacity of its factories, and in return Google has shared secret HDR + algorithms. "

The front camera has an incredible 16 megapixel resolution, f2.0 aperture, video is recorded in 1080p.

In a blind camera comparison test flagship smartphones and Canon 5D Mark II DSLRs, held among the readers of hi-tech.mail.ru HTC U11 took the penultimate place, gaining 1 point less than the DSLR. The editors of the portal explained it this way: "HTC U11 fell into the same trap as the camera: excellent detail, correct exposure, but looks too simple against the background of bright competitors." In this case, not the final sample was used in the test, but the test one, which could affect the quality of the shooting.

Other specifications: Android 7.1 OS, 5.5-inch Super LCD screen with 2560x1440 resolution, 64GB of permanent memory and 4GB of RAM. Supports external memory card up to 2 TB. Support for two SIM cards. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh. Talk time - 24.5 hours, standby time - 336 hours. There is a fingerprint scanner on the front. HTC U11 has pressure-sensitive edges, which means that by simply squeezing the smartphone in your hand, you can take a photo with the camera, launch applications, and turn on the flashlight.

HTC U11 is IP67 protected and can be immersed in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes and sprinkled with sand.

Also worth noting is the beautiful glossy body.

On this moment HTC U11 ranks third in performance among Android smartphones in the study of the AnTuTu resource, behind only OnePlus 5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 64GB is the best smartphone for zoom

Average price in Russia - 54,950 rubles.

The autumn flagship of Samsung went on sale on September 15, 2017 and today has scored 70% of the top fives in reviews in Yandex-Market. The number of purchase recommendations - 84%.

Samsung has made it a rule to release two flagships a year: in the spring of the flagship of the Galaxy S family, and closer to the fall of the more advanced flagship of the Galaxy Note family with a stylus. However, last year, the Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued shortly after launch due to battery issues, so new flagship The Galaxy Note 8 is actually the first in its class in two years.

Samsung in its new flagship follows the trend of recent times on large screens while staying one step ahead of the competition. While Apple in the 10th iPhone came to the need to increase the diagonal to 5.8 inches (as in the spring Galaxy S8), the Galaxy Note 8 received a fantastic 6.3 inches (the resolution is also impressive: 2960x1440). It has become slightly larger in body dimensions than the Galaxy S8: 7.5 cm wide versus 6.8 cm, 16.2 cm high versus 14.9 cm tall, but due to the competent use of the screen area (it is frameless, as in the Galaxy S8) dimensions and the weight of the glass-metal body is comparable to the classic 5.5-inch models of competitors. For example, the 5.5-inch Apple iPhone 8 Plus is 0.3 cm wider and 7 grams heavier than the Galaxy Note 8, although the latter is 0.4 cm longer. claims the Galaxy Note 8 has "the most innovative and high-performance screen the site has ever tested."

If the front of the Galaxy Note 8 differs from the Galaxy S8 only in the size of the case, then when you look at back panel these models are definitely not to be confused. Samsung in the new flagship followed another trend: for the first time it used a dual main camera (the Galaxy S8 still had one main camera). The first camera is wide-angle, with a focal length of 26 mm and an aperture of f / 1.7. The second is a narrow 52mm tele-camera. This corresponds roughly to the angle of view of the human eye, so it is also suitable for portraits without distorting perspective. Both modules with a resolution of 12 megapixels. Both modules have optical stabilization (the same technique was later repeated by the iPhone X). Now you can shoot smooth videos and sharp photos not only in normal mode, but also with 2x optical zoom. Dxomark named the Galaxy Note 8 the best smartphone for zoom (enlarging the image when shooting). For example, according to this indicator, he received 66 points against 58 for the iPhone X. Under the second Samsung camera added "dynamic focus" function. When enabled, you can adjust the amount of background blur before and after the shutter is released. In this case, the smartphone saves photos from both cameras. The front camera of the Galaxy Note 8 in terms of aperture as the main one is f / 1.7, the resolution is 8 megapixels.

Dxomark gave Samsung's flagship camera 100 points for photography and 84 points for video. The average score was 94. The Galaxy Note 8 was second only to three models in terms of the average score: Google Pixel 2 (while Samsung has 1 point higher for photography), iPhone X (Samsung has only 1 point lower for photography) and has not yet reaching Russia Huawei Mate 10 Pro (Samsung has the same score for photography).

Now about the stylus that comes with the kit and distinguishes the Galaxy Note 8 from other flagships. What is it for? Draw, write down reminders, take notes on photos. You don't even need to unlock the screen to write and edit notes. In addition, by pressing with the stylus, you can translate words in a foreign language text. Of course, most people will rarely need a stylus, but for creative people it will be a real find.

Galaxy Note 8 has 64 GB of internal memory, as well as support for an external memory card up to 256 GB (iPhone X does not support memory cards), but you have to choose what to insert into the tray: a second SIM card or a memory card. The 8-core Samsung Exynos 9 8895 processor, coupled with 6GB of RAM, make the Note 8 the world's second most powerful Android smartphone (on the first OnePlus 5).

After the battery failure of the Galaxy Note 7 in the new flagship, Samsung decided not to experiment with this component and supplied the phone with a standard 3300 mAh battery, which allows the Note 8 to work 22 hours of talk time and 74 hours of listening to music. There is a fast charging function. Half an hour at the outlet, and the battery will last for 3-4 hours. It will take 1 hour 41 minutes to charge from 0 to 100%.

There are three types of unlocking: the usual fingerprint scanner, face scan and iris scan. In this case, the fingerprint scanner located on the back panel will be more convenient for men, because women will not be too comfortable to reach it because of the size of the case.

3rd place.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro 6 / 128GB

The average price in Russia is 44,700 rubles. You can buy Huawei Mate 10 on AliExpress for 42 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free). To date, the model has scored 71% of the fives in reviews in Yandex-Market. The number of recommendations in Yandex-Market is 79%.

Huawei has three flagship lines, the oldest of which is the Mate family. At the same time, the cost of Mate models does not at all fit into the Chinese standards of an affordable price, although it should be borne in mind that Huawei is a representative of the top three smartphone manufacturers in the world along with Samsung and Apple, and if you compare the price of the Mate 10 Pro with the flagships of these manufacturers, it is noticeably lower ... For example, Apple iPhone X 64GB costs 68 thousand rubles, that is, one and a half times more expensive, and Samsung Galaxy S9 + 128GB costs 54 thousand rubles, that is, 20% more expensive.

Like the aforementioned flagships of Samsung and Apple, the Mate 10 Pro, which went on sale in October 2017, follows the trend of almost bezel-less smartphones, due to which, in a body similar to a 5.5-inch smartphone, a 6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2160x1080.

Huawei has partnered with renowned German camera company Leica in recent years, making their cameras one of the best in the world. This model has a dual main camera, one of the sensors of which has a resolution of 12 megapixels and is responsible for colors, and the other with a resolution of 20 megapixels is monochrome and provides high-definition images. The aperture of the camera is fantastic f / 1.6 (the less this figure, the better; for comparison: the Galaxy Note 8 has f / 1.7, and the 10th iPhone has f / 2.4 at all). In practice, this means that low-light shots will be even sharper, and black and white shots will be very expressive. Also in the matter of image clarity, optical image stabilization should help. In addition, the camera has a 4-in-1 composite autofocus, which greatly reduces the time it takes to focus. The front camera has an 8 megapixel sensor with an aperture of f / 2.0. Photo resource Dxomark gave the Huawei flagship camera an average score of 97, 100 points for photography, 91 points for video.

Other characteristics: Android 8.0 OS, 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor, 128 GB of internal and 6 GB of RAM, no memory card slot, support for two SIM cards. The battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh, which is one of the best indicators among the flagships. There is a fast charging function. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back.

At the presentation of this model, it was said the following: "The Huawei Mate 10 series introduces the first neural processor with support for artificial intelligence, ushering in the era of smart smartphones."

Apple iPhone X 64GB - the best smartphone for photography

Average price in Russia -68,000 rubles. The tenth iPhone (X in this case is the Roman numeral 10) went on sale on November 3, 2017, and today it has scored 58% of the top fives in reviews in Yandex-Market. The number of recommendations in Yandex-Market is 64%.

This year, the iPhone celebrates its 10th anniversary: the first iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007. Apple, which in recent years offered customers the same eggs, only in profile, decided to finally launch something fundamentally new on the market, and it succeeded, however, a significant part of the innovations was simply repeated for Android manufacturers, and the rest turned out to be ambiguous. Firstly, the iPhone X received a frameless screen, and even with an OLED matrix. However, this is a novelty only for iPhones, since the bezel-less display first appeared in the spring of the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the Galaxy Note 8, which went on sale in September, also has it. As for the OLED display, it is not original, but produced by Samsung, and, apparently, Samsung left its models best displays, and sold to Apple with a worse quality, because after iPhone release X users started complaining about screen flickering when the brightness was lowered. In the design of the front panel, the spirit of Samsung hovered over Apple, tk. if you arrange everything in the best way, it will turn out exact copy Samsung flagships. Apparently, for this reason, a strange blotting into the screen appeared on the top of the front panel, which users called "codpiece", "beard" or "monobrow", and it is not convenient to view content in all applications. the monobrow sometimes crawls over him. But now it is very easy to distinguish the iPhone X from all other smartphones.

Samsung has introduced three types of unlocking in its new flagships: a familiar fingerprint scanner, a face scan and an iris scan. Apple took a more radical approach, removed the fingerprint scanner and left only the face scanner, which creates a three-dimensional model of the face and then learns to recognize its owner in new images. But this feature has two drawbacks. First, the system does not understand the fact of growing up in children and one day it will stop recognizing them. Therefore, Apple does not recommend using the tenth iPhone for children under 13. Secondly, face recognition will not be able to distinguish between twins, so the tenth iPhone is also not recommended for those who have twin brothers or sisters. And also to those who have children similar to them. YouTube has video where 10 year old boy unlocked his mom's iPhone just by looking at it.

The bezel-less display leaves no room for physical buttons. Samsung has simply made the buttons touch sensitive. Apple, instead of following a successful example, chose an uncomfortable option: gesture control. As a result, it became impossible to use the phone with one hand in many situations.

When you look at the back panel, you can also immediately distinguish the 10th iPhone from all the others, tk. the camera block is located not horizontally, but vertically. At the same time, the block protrudes so much that the phone cannot lie flat on the table. The problem is solved only by purchasing a cover. Now about the cameras themselves: they are almost the same as in the iPhone 8 Plus: a dual primary at 12 megapixels and a front one at 7 megapixels. At the same time, the aperture was improved from f / 2.8 to f / 2.4, double stabilization was introduced and a portrait mode was added when shooting selfies. Resource Dxomark gave the iPhone 8 Plus camera 94 points, the same was received by the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and the iPhone X received 97 points, while still not becoming the leader in shooting quality, because it was outstripped by Google Pixel 2 due to the best video shooting: in video tests Pixel 2 scored 96 points, and the iPhone 89, but the iPhone won the photo tests, gaining 101 points against 99 forPixel 2. If we take only photography, then the tenth iPhone can be called the best in this component at the moment, although the advantage is insignificant over Galaxy S8 and Pixel 2 and it does not show up in all aspects of photography.

Other characteristics: a 5.8-inch screen (actually smaller, because the black notch eats up part of the screen space) with a resolution of 2436x1125 pixels, the operating system iOS 11, 64 GB of permanent memory and 3 GB of RAM, support for one SIM card. The smartphone does not support an external memory card, however, Google provides unlimited storage for photos and videos taken on Pixel for free (until 2021). Battery capacity 2716 mAh. 6-core Apple A11 Bionic processor. Case material - glass. As with other recent iPhones, there is no standard headphone jack, no support for memory cards and a second SIM card.

Last year's Pixel was once the best camera phone, now the Pixel 2 has taken over the baton, which with an average score of 98 points leads the ranking of the best mobile cameras in Dxomark. The victory was achieved due to excellent video shooting, where competitors could not even get close to Pixel 2 with 96 points (the smartphone got an excellent, but not a record 99 points for taking photos).The hi-tech.mail.ru portal, comparing the Pixel 2 camera with the cameras of Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 8, noted the clear superiority of the smartphone from Google in portrait photography, however, in general, gave a slight preference for Galaxy Note 8. It is worth noting that both the Dxomark test and the hi-tech.mail.ru test were carried out before the activation of the Pixel Visual Core chip, which should take place in the Android 8.1 OS version and will be responsible for the function HDR + (which propelled the first generation Pixel into the lead in mobile photography). The innovation will allow you to process images five times faster and consume ten times less power than if the option functioned through a standard image processor in the Snapdragon 835. According to Google representatives, over time, Pixel Visual Core will provide users with much more options.

The main camera (it is one) Pixel 2 has a resolution of 12 megapixels, f / 1.8 aperture and optical stabilization. The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels. In comparing the Pixel 2 front cameras with the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 front cameras, hi-tech.mail.ru experts noted: “The Note 8 and Mate 10 Pro did the best with determining the white balance, and the Pixel 2 failed the shades in frightening yellowness. But at the same time, the flagship of Google worked out the details much better and did not allow overexposure to appear, unlike Samsung smartphones and Huawei. "

Other characteristics of Pixel 2: 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, new Android 8.0 operating system, 64 GB of permanent and 4 GB of RAM, support for one SIM card.
