Rating phones by quality and cost

Every year dozens of new models enter the mobile phone market. Each of them occupies a certain niche in its segment. Also, phones are distributed according to price, technical characteristics, features, etc. But at the end of the year, summing up, it is still worthwhile to find out what the rating of phones looks like in terms of quality.

Classification

To compile a similar list, it is necessary to specify at once what is meant by quality and what are the evaluation criteria. The most important judge in this distribution is always the buyer. The technical characteristics that the manufacturer indicates are not always in line with the real indicators. Therefore, everything the user is talking about, is the main reason to put the model on this or that stage.

In addition, making the rating of cellular phones by quality, you need to pay attention to a few basic indicators, which are most often watched by buyers. Among them, of course, the appearance, as well as technical specifications, the screen, the camera and the OS. The rest of all the moments are just a pleasant addition, or an unnecessary element.

2016 year

I must say that the year 2016 has become very fruitful. Many manufacturers have released their flagships, thereby reminding themselves or strengthening their position. As usual, the most sensational was the race between Samsung and Apple. Developers tried to get ahead of each other again and release smartphones faster.

In the end, we got a very high-quality and steep Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, also a brand new Apple iPhone 7, well, burnt out Samsung Galaxy Note 7. It's hard to judge who won whom. Everyone has his own subjective opinion, therefore, when composing the rating of phones for the quality of the year 2016, these models should be put on one level. At the same time, the main drawback of these flagships remains a huge price.

Chinese breakthrough

It is worth mentioning separately about Chinese smartphones. In the outgoing year they became a real "explosion", which stirred everyone and everything. People really threw their brand phones to buy, although cheap, but very high-quality and reliable device from China.

In general, the story of Chinese gadgets has long been controversial. In the world there are still those who believe that if things are written in Made in China, then it is unsuitable for use and will live for a couple of weeks. In fact, it turned out that the Chinese are very creative in creating new models. Gadgets have become unusual, everyone stood out even among his brethren. Probably, therefore, some Chinese models even topped the rating of cell phones in terms of quality (2016 release).

Rating

Going directly to the list of the best phones, it must be said that it will not be possible to create an objective rating. There are such models that could be placed immediately on one line. Also there are smart phones that are very good in quality, but because of the high price they can not take the first places either.

Therefore, immediately you need to tune in to what is a subjective rating of phones for quality, which, of course, each has its own. This is connected with the quality of assembly, and with price accessibility, because someone can afford a smartphone for 60 thousand rubles, and for someone it's a salary for the year.

Popular Phones

It's no secret that for an average user who does not pursue a dual camera, 4K-resolution screens and the latest processors, the average acceptable price for a smartphone is up to 15 thousand rubles. In the category you can find good models, which in 2016 became popular among buyers. For this money you can buy yourself a phone with a Full HD display, 1-2 GB RAM, 5-8 MP main camera, etc.

As mentioned earlier, it is difficult to make an objective rating of cell phones in terms of quality. Therefore, the following list of smartphones is conditional.

Russian hope

Highscreen Power Ice from the Russian manufacturer has become an interesting model and quite popular. Although it was collected in China, there are no complaints about the case and materials. This is a mid-range phone. The best characteristic that this phone received is price / quality. He takes a ranking not by chance. His average display is 5 inches. Not bad resolution 1280x720. By the way, there is even 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in memory. It is very convenient that there is support for two SIM cards, as well as a capacious battery, which is always famous for Highscreen.

Chinese state employees

In this budget segment there are two Huawei Honor: 5A and 5X. Although the price differs by almost two times, yet both are related to cheap models. In the rating of mobile phones in terms of quality were due to their reliability. In general, Huawei has long been positioning itself as a brand. Therefore, the Honor line became a pleasant surprise for those who are watching this company.

The Honor 5A model was almost the same as the previously mentioned Russian Highscreen Power Ice. The only difference is the weak battery of the Chinese - only 2200 mAh, and its powerful main camera at 13 Mp. Also the difference in price is almost 4 thousand rubles.

But the second model Honor 5X is a more powerful device. It has a screen of 5.5 inches, which is already in the category of "shovel". Naturally, this display also has a good resolution - 1920x1080. With memory and cameras, everything is the same here as with the younger brother. They increased the battery to 3000 mAh.

Series from Meizu

Next in the ranking are two very cool Chinese phones - Meizu M2 Note and Meizu M3 Note. Very similar smartphones that are loved by many. And the sympathy for them began precisely with the younger model. The M2 Note has a 5.5 inch display and a resolution of 1920x1080. Its technical characteristics are average. It has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory. There is support for two SIM cards. The main camera received 13 Mp, and the front camera 5 Mp.

But Meizu M3 Note has the best features that any phone should have - "price + quality". He got the highest rating due to these advantages. Its main difference from the previous model is the improved technical characteristics that made the smartphone more powerful. And, of course, the appearance of a fingerprint scanner. In addition, there is a version of 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in. Also a hybrid slot and a powerful battery for 4100 mAh.

Winners

Concluding this budget rating of phones by quality, it is worth mentioning about unconditional winners. This is Xiaomi Redmi 3S and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. The price of the first - about 9 thousand rubles, the second - up to 13 thousand rubles. In general, Xiaomi not for the first year please us with their phones. Apparatus at them are very steep. It's also nice that everyone can find a model in a comfortable price segment.

Redmi 3S was released this summer. Has a five-inch display with a small resolution of 1280x720. It was one of the first phones to be run by the new Android 6.0. Memory here is 2 / 16GB. A good main camera at 13 megapixels. A capacious battery at 4100 mAh, especially if you take into account the size of the display. Immediately appeared a newfangled fingerprint scanner.

Redmi Note 3 Pro on the head above. He first appeared at the beginning of this year. By now, more than 110 million devices have already been sold. The phone has a screen of 5.5 inches with FullHD resolution. Also here is a battery for 4050 mAh, which in principle is enough for two days. Here as an order, two SIM cards, the availability of which has already become the standard. Especially nice 3 GB "RAM".

The best of the best

Now we should talk about the more expensive models that users liked most. Again, I must say about the subjectivity of the following list. Some models really consider the whole world to be the best, but there are those who came here due to their peculiarities.

Opening

LeEco was previously known to very few people. This company became popular in Russia in September 2016 after it showed the world Le Max2. The cost of this phone varies around 20 thousand rubles. Its main feature is the lack of audio output. Perhaps you just say about the seventh iPhone. But it was in this Chinese smartphone that the analog audio output was removed for the first time. The American manufacturer later adopted this idea and embodied it in his new flagship.

In other respects Le Max2 also does not concede to many brand models. It has 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in memory. The screen turned out to be almost frameless and has 5.7 inches. The display resolution is high - 2560x1440. Surprised and the presence of a camera at 21 megapixels. There is, of course, a fingerprint scanner and many other surprises.

Two fighters

It so happened that the rating of phones for quality for this year is not headed by anyone from Apple or Samsung. The new "seventh" models occupy a common stage in order to avoid disputes and conflicts. Although objectively, many believe that the Americans still gave a little bit to the Koreans.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus costs about 65 thousand rubles. In addition to the version on 32 GB, there are also 128 and 256 GB. The phone itself has become a novelty in many ways. He got a new iOS 10 OS. The screen has 5.5 inches, which for many will seem standard. There are 3 GB of internal memory. The battery for such dimensions is too small - 2900 mAh. The main chip of the new model was a dual main camera, which is really impressive. Although in fact the lens is only the third in quality among all (first place is just for the main competitor - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, second place - for HTC 10). But the front, perhaps, the best - at 7 megapixels.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is a little cheaper - 50 thousand rubles. The screen, like the curved model, and the standard, 5.5 inches. The resolution is 2560x1440. I was pleased with the battery at 3600 mAh, although sometimes I want even more powerful. Also the main chip was the camera, which not only received a bunch of lotions, but has its own special technologies. Photos from the smartphone look very interesting. By the way, there is more RAM here than the "apple-phone" - 4 GB. There is also a slot for the memory card. The fans were also glad that they returned the support of two SIM cards.

Irreproachable

If there was a beauty rating, then unconditionally the first place would be taken by Huawei Honor 8. It is difficult to convey in words how beautiful this model is. Although, again, the concept of beauty is a subjective thing. Yet the Chinese have done a great job to release such a magnificent device into the world. In addition to its external merits, it turned out to be quite powerful.

The display is 5.2 inches at a resolution of 1920x1080. There are 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of built-in. The battery, although only 3000 mAh, works in tandem with a special energy-saving mode. There is a fingerprint scanner that can be configured for other commands. The cameras received 12 and 8 megapixels.

Rest

In general, this expensive rating can be continued for a very long time. Flagships this year really came out a huge amount and each of them worthy of attention. Therefore it is worth mentioning LG G5, which received the additional modules first. The smartphone has become one of the leaders in the quality of the camera. Did not give up and its technical characteristics.

It is also important to mention the powerful Chinese leader - OnePlus3. The smartphone has become a real "boom". He came out this summer and immediately won the honorary title of "the killer of the flagships." In fact, at the present moment this is the most powerful model. His main trump was the emphasis on technical characteristics. He quickly bypassed the famous branded apparatuses by tests in "Antutu". This is due to the presence of 6 GB of RAM, as well as the latest version of the processor and video chipset.

And another winner in the race for the championship was ASUS Zenfone 3. A stylish and attractive smartphone fell in love with many customers. The manufacturer positions the model as a camera phone. But, in addition to the advantages of the lens, the phone has excellent technical indicators.

Buttons are in fashion

It would be foolish to think that with the advent of touch screens, the button phones will cease to exist. In fact, there are those people who do not want to learn or get used to the touchscreen. For some it is much more convenient to have a phone with buttons. Therefore, such models still exist on the market and will exist, as long as they are in demand.

The rating of push-button phones in terms of quality is as subjective as the list of the best sensor flagships. But still there are a couple of models that stood out from the general mass and were recognized by buyers. Among them there are very expensive, there are also budgetary ones.

By the way, if you make a rating of telephones for the quality of communication, then most likely, the button-type ones would take the first place. Nevertheless, among them there are not only those who have an excellent communication module, there are long-livers, owners of excellent displays, clamshells and two-model models.

As this year has shown, BQ BQM was able to top the rating of button cell phones by quality. The company has created a number of very high-quality devices. For example, BQ BQM-2000 Baden-Baden is a compact, cute "clamshell" that has a stylish design, comfortable keys, useful modes and clear notifications. There is such a phone about 2,5 thousand rubles.

BQ BQM-3200 Berlin boasts an excellent screen. Its size is 3.2 inches, which is quite a lot for models of this segment. Most of all this device is suitable for men, as it has a rough appearance and a large size. The cost of it - about 2,5 thousand rubles. The company also has a good model, which supports several SIM cards BQ BQM-2408 Mexico. And this is not as usual - two, but the whole four "sims." That is, the phone is a real mobile monster. It costs about 2 thousand rubles.

In addition to the BQ BQM, Samsung continues to produce push-button phones, which this year stood out as its reliable Metro B350E model. Also working in this segment is the popular BlackBerry with the Q10 model. A special feature is the presence of a QWERTY keyboard. But the disadvantage is a very high price - 12 thousand rubles. Continues to produce push-button phones and Fly.

South Koreans

This year for Samsung turned out to be difficult. Here and the story with the closure of the party Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Although objectively, the phone would become a leader in quality. But the revenue was able to bring updated and improved Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

In general, the rating of Samsung phones on quality this year is simple. The phones appeared as if the price increased and technical characteristics improved. First appeared budget Samsung Galaxy J1. It has a 4.5 inch screen, a small resolution, an average camera quality. In general, it is a good branded "caller." It costs about 7 thousand rubles.

Following him appeared the older model Samsung Galaxy J5. It increased in size, and the technical characteristics of steel at times better. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 continued the magnificent series. He became very stylish, attractive, powerful. The screen was 5.7 inches high resolution 2560x1440. There is even 4 GB of RAM and a choice of 32 or 64 GB built-in. Excellent camera, capacious battery and prompt operation of the stylus.

Well, I completed this rating of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, which was already mentioned earlier. Of course, this model has become the best not only among Korean, but among all other flagships of this year.

The result

Top smartphones in 2016 were very impressive. Thanks to them, you can even make a ranking of phone companies for quality. Thus, it turns out that on the first / second place we have two leaders - Samsung and Apple. Again, poke their foreheads will not, so just assume that we have two winners.

Then we have Huawei, which this year took an even greater percentage of the world market - 9.3. For comparison: back in 2012 it occupied only 3%. Next comes Lenovo. A company that is always in the top five. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower, but always stably keeps afloat. Well, finish this rating Xiaomi and LG, which this year also showed their competitive flagships. And if the Koreans have long been on the market, then the Chinese have taken a leading position in just a few years.
