The most powerful smartphones. The most powerful phone in the world at the moment Rating of the most productive smartphones

How do you think you can determine the fastest smartphone? The best option is to take several devices and compare the speed of work. But where can you get so many smartphones to choose the best one? It becomes clear that it is impossible to conduct such a test. How to be?

One option is to trust the so-called synthetic tests. There are special applications that test devices, and then give the result in the form of glasses. The more points, the, in theory, the faster, more powerful and more productive the gadget. Is it really? Most often, yes, but there are exceptions, since the application is not able to see that the device, even the most powerful one, slows down when flipping through the desktop. However, this is by far the best way to compare the best and newest smartphones.

One of these tests is Antutu Benchmark, which is very popular. We will show you the test results based on this application. The data on the page will be updated periodically.

David Cohen, a technical expert at the popular tech portal "TheUnlockr", has tested the performance of the most powerful devices that came to mind in 2017: the iPhone X, Huawei Mate 10 Pro, OnePlus 5T and Pixel 2 XL. The essence of the test is to compare the performance of flagship devices in real use, not focusing on abstract results in synthetic tests. To do this, before the test, all devices were previously put on an equal footing: the latest version of the OS, no garbage, and all applications were unloaded from memory. The devices got their places in the ranking based on how quickly they coped with opening the same apps. Accordingly, the lower the score, the higher the productivity.

In last place was the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, which scored 31 points. Generally speaking, this fact is not surprising. The fact is that Huawei is not betting on performance, but on the overall experience of long-term use of its devices. Given the overpowering power of modern smartphones, this is arguably the most appropriate approach. The second place in the ranking is shared by the Essential Phone and the iPhone X, with 27 points each. Here it should be borne in mind that there is no doubt about the processor power of the iPhone X, but too slow animation of actions does not allow using the smartphone as quickly as we would like. Google Pixel 2 XL took third place by a significant margin, earning 22 points. As you can see, "pure" Android, of course, affects the speed of the device, but this may not be enough to be an absolute leader with approximately equal technical characteristics. Sometimes, for maximum performance gain, additional optimization of component drivers and more fine-tuning of basic OS parameters is required - these are the qualities that distinguish our leaders: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and OnePlus 5T. The former scored 21 points, which is 33% better than the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, while the OnePlus 5T only got 18 points, making it the undisputed 2017 champion in the real-world performance category.

It should be borne in mind that talking about which flagship is faster is like trying to compare the speed of the fastest fighters. In addition to technical characteristics, their speed also depends on air humidity, wind speed, flight altitude and many other factors, but the bottom line is still the same - they fly very fast (almost 10 times faster than sound). So in the case of smartphones - their performance has long been in excess, and the speed of any flagship is enough for you. When choosing a smartphone, it is more logical to focus on other nuances. For example, the design or brand ideology is important: a branded interface, ecosystem, additional services, etc.

Could anyone, 10 years ago, have believed that mobile phones would almost equal the performance of desktop systems? Today we will try to choose the most powerful smartphone in the world and compare the strengths of the top ten devices according to benchmarks.

No. 10 - Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Price: 48200 rubles

Screen: IPS, 5.46 "4K;
Memory: 4/64 GB;
Camera: main - 19 Mp, front - 13 Mp.

The Xperia XZ Premium has garnered huge interest from buyers primarily because of its 4K screen. Sony managed to achieve almost the highest pixel density among all mobile devices, which is definitely a plus against the background of the same Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8. The smartphone also has an excellent camera, which is among the top ten best photo modules of famous foreign ratings.

In terms of performance, the XZ Premium is not doing so well (compared to the top-end flagships). At the moment, the device ranks 14th in the latest ranking of the AnTuTu benchmark with an average result of about 170 thousand points.

Conclusion: Sony Xperia XZ Premium will appeal to gamers who do not want to spend large sums on the latest models of Apple flagships. The minor disadvantages of the smartphone can be attributed only to a slight heating during prolonged load.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

# 9 - Samsung Galaxy S8

Price: 47,000 rubles

Screen: SuperAMOLED, 5.8 "Quad HD +;
Memory: 4/64 GB;
Camera: main - 12 Mp, front - 8 Mp.

The Galaxy S8 comes in two flavors: the Snapdragon chipset in America and the Exynos chipset elsewhere. The latter is slightly faster, the S8 version with the Exynos 8895 on board takes 11th place in the AnTuTu ranking. The average result of a smartphone is about 172 thousand points. A large increase in performance is also provided by the transition to UFS 2.1 standard RAM.

The latest generation of flagships from Samsung has revolutionized the smartphone market. The concept of a frameless mobile phone was copied from the South Korean company by many other manufacturers of mobile technology. At the same time, Samsung Galaxy S8 is one of the most convenient devices with a screen diagonal of over 5.5 inches.

Conclusion: great design and top-end performance are all inGalaxyS8. The phone is practically devoid of drawbacks.

Samsung Galaxy S8

No. 8 - Xiaomi Mi6

Price: 29880 rubles

Screen: IPS, 5.15 "FullHD;
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
Memory: 6/64 GB;

The top 10 of the AnTuTu rankings is opened by the Xiaomi Mi6, the Chinese flagship that has managed to surpass most of the top devices on the market. Add to that the fact that competing solutions cost almost double the price, and you have a smartphone formula with the perfect price-performance ratio.

The Mi6 is good in almost every sense - a splash-proof housing, excellent design, a good screen and a very high level of autonomy. A couple of disappointments awaited only the first buyers who were "lucky" to get acquainted with the still raw MIUI firmware. Now there is nothing to worry about, all software jambs have already been fixed.

Conclusion: as a result, we have a perfectly balanced phone with top-end technical characteristics.Mi6 is further proof thatXiaomi is almost “stepping on the heels” of its Western competitors in 2018-2019.

No. 7 - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

Price: 39 990 rubles

Screen: IPS, 5.99 "QuadHD;
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
Memory: 6/8 GB RAM and 64/12/256 GB internal storage;
Camera: main - 12 Mp, front - 5 Mp.

With the first Mi Mix, a real excitement began around frameless smartphones. Together with Samsung, the Chinese from Xiaomi were actually at the origins of the trend, so you shouldn't be surprised that the predecessor Mi Mix 2 was a bit angular, awkward and very unusual. In the second generation, the manufacturer took into account his mistakes, trying to give his best.

So, the new product received a large 6-inch display in a compact body, a powerful processor and a huge supply of RAM. The capabilities of Mi Mix 2 are enough for anything, the list of tasks is not limited by the technical characteristics of the device.

Conclusion: the best smartphone for those who love large frameless screens.

No. 6 - Nokia 8

Price: 32400 rubles

Screen: IPS, 5.3 ”QuadHD;
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
Memory: 4/64 GB;
Camera: main - dual module 12 + 12 Mp, front - 13 Mp.

Nokia 8 became the flagship of the updated line of the Finnish brand, this time HMD Global took part in the production of devices. The key feature of the smartphone is the pure Android 7.1.2 Nougat operating system. The absence of any third-party firmware and constant OS support guarantees regular updates to your newly purchased gadget. Nokia promises that their new flagship will soon receive an upgrade to Android Oreo.

In terms of performance, this instance ranks 7th in the AnTuTu rating. The gap from the previous nominees in the rating is insignificant, Nokia 8 wins them only a couple of thousand points. In fact, the key reason for choosing this particular smartphone is the fact that it has a stable OS without buggy firmware. But beginner photographers need to choose with caution, since the quality of the Nokia 8 cameras does not match the level of other flagships.

# 5 - Nubia Z17

Price: 23000 rubles

Screen: IPS, 5.5 "FullHD;
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
Memory: 6/128 GB;

Z17 has a clear resemblance to the seventh generation of iPhones, but against the background of a competitor, the smartphone stands out with its proprietary chip - a red button rim under a 5.5-inch display. The same rim serves as an indicator of missed notifications; this solution is quite ingenious. The Z17 also has very thin bezels on the sides of the screen, the smartphone looks quite modern even against the background of the Samsung Galaxy S8.

The device has earned a high place in the benchmarks and performs well in games. We were able to test the Z17 in Wot: Blitz - at maximum graphics settings, the flagship maintained a stable 60 fps even in tight battles on snow-covered maps. However, playing too long drains the battery pretty quickly. At maximum loads, the Z17 only lasted about four hours.

Conclusion: a stylish and powerful smartphone with almost unlimited possibilities. The weak point is autonomy.

# 4 - HTC U11

Price: 35800 rubles

Screen: Super LCD 5, 5.5 "QuadHD;
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
Memory: 4/64 GB;
Camera: main -12 Mp, front - 16 Mp.

One notable feature of the U11 is the HTC Edge Sense feature. The smartphone is equipped with sensitive edges that react to squeezing force. The sensitivity can be adjusted in the gadget settings. Depending on how hard you press on the U11, it can perform various quick actions.

The power reserve will be enough for the flagship for several more years. During this period, the device is guaranteed to receive updates to the OS and other software components. The U11 works great and you can get used to HTC Edge Sense very quickly.

Conclusion: a good smartphone with several unusual features. Suitable if for some reason you did not like the rest of the flagships.

# 3 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Price: 55,000 rubles

Screen: SuperAMOLED, 6.3 "QuadHD +;
Processor: Exynos 8895 (2.35 GHz);
Memory: 6/64 GB;
Camera: main - dual module 12 + 12 Mp, front - 8 Mp.

The latest flagship of the Note line beats almost all Samsung records. It has the largest display, the most powerful processor and the most sensitive stylus. By the way, the S Pen is a separate piece of art that turns the Note 8 into a full-fledged mobile workstation.

The performance of a smartphone is enough to replace a laptop or tablet in the field. Also, Note 8 will be an excellent gift for an artist who can use a smartphone as a full-fledged drawing tool.

Conclusion:Note 8 is a real "workhorse" with a full set of features of everything that is in the world of gadgets 2018-2019. Phablet did not reach just a few thousand points in the rating to the leadersAnTuTu.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

# 2 - OnePlus 5

Price: 42500 rubles

Screen: Optic AMOLED, 5.5 "FullHD;
Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 (2.4 GHz);
Memory: 6/64 GB;
Camera: main - dual module 16 + 20 Mp, front - 16 Mp.

The OnePlus 5 slogan speaks for itself - "flagship killer". This is true, but only judging by the level of performance. In this matter, the device has only two competitors - iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. However, one should not harbor unnecessary hopes, since the Chinese clearly did not make their flagship for everyone.

Who is it for? Primarily for enthusiasts who need a really powerful mobile device to work. Also, the gadget may appeal to gamers, since, again, in terms of power, it actually has no equal. Otherwise, the OnePlus 5 has quite a few sides in which it is inferior to the top flagships. For example, the FullHD screen here is no longer as impressive as the fairly common QuadHD or even 4K display.

Conclusion: a must-have for gamers and fans of the biggest numbers in the benchmarks. The answer to the question of what is the most powerful Chinese smartphone in the world.

# 1 - iPhone 8 Plus

Price: 60,000 rubles

Screen: IPS, 5.5 "FullHD;
Processor: Apple A11 Bionic;
Memory: 3/256 GB;
Camera: main - dual module 12 + 12 Mp, front - 7 Mp.

However, this is not a reason to abandon the G8. The flagship retained all the brand's signature features and acquired a new, even more powerful processor. Needless to say, at the moment it has practically no equal in terms of performance? Also, the cameras of the iPhone 8 Plus are officially recognized as the best of all mobile devices now.

Yandex.Zen, well, put a like (thumbs up) for your work for one thing. Thanks!

2017 has just crossed its equator, but many smartphone developers have already managed to mark themselves with new products. Compared to last year, the core specs of 2017 phones have improved. Cameras have become better, the frequency of processors has become record holders in terms of the amount of RAM. This rating includes best phones of 2017- top 10 models.

Huawei P8 Lite is one of the best mobile phones on the market in 2017, announced by the Chinese back in January. And like the Nokia 6 smartphone, the latest version of the Android operating system out of the box. The advantages of this phone model include high performance. The octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 655 processor with a clock speed of 2.1 GHz and 3 GB of RAM allows you to use this device to solve all your pressing problems.

Lovers of mobile photography can also choose this phone to create beautiful frames. Yes, 12 MP and f / 2 is not the most advanced solution on the market today. But, if we compare the cost of Huawei P8 Lite (2017), as well as its filling, then the choice in its favor seems obvious.

The advantages of the Huawei P8 Lite (2017) include a 5.2-inch display with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels, which is much better than the previous phone model. In general, the purchase of this phone with an optimal price tag and balanced filling will be a great way to spend your money. The average price of a phone is 16,500 rubles.

9.Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Can any list of the best smartphones do without a Xiaomi representative today? Of course not! A special community has already formed around this company, which considers this brand to be the Chinese "Apple". Maybe so. Although some of the developers of the Celestial Empire were not called that. But, Xiaomi Mi Max 2 got into our TOP 10 best phones of 2017 for a reason. This is a really cool smartphone, and like all devices of this brand, it has a low price.

Featuring a large 6.44-inch 1920 × 1080 screen and an all-metal body, this phone can replace a small tablet. Yes, its dimensions are not suitable for everyone, but devices with such dimensions always have those who will buy them. And do not be afraid that such a screen will quickly "eat up" the battery. The battery in this smartphone has a capacity of 5300 mAh.

Now, what have the Chinese saved on. The most important thing is the processor. The Snapdragon 625 is cool, of course. But, it was last year. Yes, the phone more than solves all the necessary tasks. But, it will become outdated earlier than analogues. And if you suddenly bought the “first” model of Xiaomi Mi Max, there is no point in changing your device to this one.

On average, Xiaomi Mi Max 2 with 64 GB of internal memory costs 17,430 rubles.

8. Sony XA1 Ultra

The Japanese phablet is in eighth place in the ranking of the best phones of 2017. If you are looking for a smartphone to watch TV series on the way to work or read books, then you do not need to buy a tablet for this. You can purchase Xiaomi Mi Max 2 or Sony XA1 Ultra. Sony has a slightly smaller screen - as much as 6 inches with a resolution of 1920 × 1080.

The operating system of this phone is Android 7.0 Nougat. Thanks to a low-cost, but quite productive eight-core Helio P20 processor and 4 GB of memory, this smartphone can easily cope with all the "heavy" applications from the Play Market. The owners of this phone will be pleased with the amount of internal memory of 32 GB, as well as the camera. The 23MP sensor with f / 2.0 aperture will help you take bright and clear photos.

Will the Sony XA1 Ultra stay in the top of the best smartphones of 2017 until the end of the year? Probably not. Some Chinese will insert a gigantic amount of unnecessary RAM into their device, and not delving into the essence of the people, will advertise it on every pillar. In the meantime, the Japanese flagship with an average price of 27,990 rubles settled in the eighth position.

7. LG G6 H870DS

The 7th place in our 2017 phone rankings is taken by the LG G6. It belongs to the increasingly popular class of frameless phones. An important part of its design is a bright 5.7-inch display with a resolution of 2880 × 1440 pixels. Its main feature is its non-standard aspect ratio. At first it is awkward, but when you get used to it, you no longer want to switch to the classic ratio.

The advantages of the LG G6 H870DS phone include the presence of a wide-angle photo module, protection from dust and moisture, a capacious 3300 mAh battery and a slot for two SIM cards.

As for the shortcomings, the Koreans have provided this device with a rather clumsy firmware. Although, there is a chance that it will be updated. And the quality of the 13-megapixel front camera of the phone is unlikely to satisfy picky buyers. And you will have to pay for the LG G6 from 26,950 rubles.

6.Samsung Galaxy C5 Pro

The 6th line among the best phones in 2017 is occupied by the "Pro" version of the Samsung Galaxy C5. Since last year's C5 was a budget model, its “professional” variation also applies to this type of device. The main feature of the smartphone are two 16-megapixel cameras with an aperture of f / 1.9. The phone has a good 5.2-inch screen and an all-metal body.

The hardware of the Galaxy C5 Pro is built around the 626th "Snow Dragon". The 8-core processor has a clock speed of 2.2 GHz. Also, the phone is equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of space for files. Does a $ 360 smartphone with such characteristics have a weak point? Yes, this is not quite a capacious battery - only 2600 mAh. But, the developers had to find a compromise between the capacity of the battery and the thickness of the case. And they chose the latter.

5. OnePlus OnePlus 5

OnePlus OnePlus 5 is one of the best Chinese phones in 2017. We are already used to the fact that the guys from OnePlus do not skimp on stuffing their smartphones. So in the fifth model, the user will have access to 6 GB (8 GB in older models) of RAM, a powerful eight-core processor and 64 GB of internal memory.

Among the advantages of this phone model with a 5.5-inch screen, it is worth noting a beautiful aluminum body, a dual camera (16/24 MP) and support for Dash Charge fast charging technology, as well as a 3300 mAh battery. As for the shortcomings, this is the lack of a slot for a memory card and protection from dust and moisture. The price of the OnePlus 5 smartphone starts at 31,790 rubles.

4. Huawei Honor 9

The ninth model from Huawei's premium series could not fail to enter the rating of 2017 phones. This device has an excellent dual camera with a resolution of 20 and 12 megapixels, which surpasses the characteristics of the iPhone 7. This Chinese flagship will also appeal to music lovers. It is equipped with Asahi Kasei Microdevices Hi-Fi audio chip, which will help you enjoy high-quality sound.

Among the main characteristics of the phone, it is worth noting: 5.2-inch display, 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory, as well as a 3200 mAh battery.

But, of course, the main advantage of the "nine" is its price. It is the most affordable flagship smartphone to meet the latest requirements. Is it worth it to "pay off" 26,000 rubles? Definitely worth it.

3. HTC U11

HTC U11 is one of the highest quality phones in 2017. The smartphone has a great design and the best camera at the moment. Yes, the sensor has only 12 megapixels. But thanks to Dual Pixel technologies, HDR Boost, Acoustic Focus, as well as a record f / 1.7 DxO Mark aperture, this device was given 90 points. HTC U11 is the first smartphone to reach this mark.

It should also be noted the 5.5-inch Super LCD 5 display with a resolution of 2560 × 1440, 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and water resistance. And this phone costs 44,990 rubles.

2.Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung Galaxy S8 is ranked 2nd among the best gadgets of 2017. This device has an excellent design. Its 5.8-inch screen occupies almost 99.9% of the entire bezel area. Moreover, the screen itself with a resolution of 2960 × 1440 pixels and excellent color reproduction easily surpasses all competitors.

The filling of the phone did not disappoint either. The user can switch the performance modes himself, depending on the performance of specific tasks on the smartphone. Also worth noting is the new ability to unlock the screen by scanning the iris of the eye. And of course the Koreans have equipped their device with fast charging technology. Where today is without it.

The average cost of a new Samsung Galaxy S8 is 48,360 rubles.

1. iPhone 8

The new smartphone from Apple did not disappoint buyers. iPhone 8 quickly rose to the top of the list of the best phones of 2017 due to its excellent technical characteristics. The "heart" of the device is a powerful six-core processor Apple A11 Bionic, which provides fast operation of iOS 11. 64 GB of internal memory is also a significant advantage of this model, delighting users. The 4.7 ″ touch screen provides high quality images at 1334 × 750 resolution. Photo enthusiasts will appreciate the 12MP rear camera with F / 1.8 aperture and 7 million pixel front camera. They allow you to take excellent pictures that are comparable in performance to compact cameras. In addition, the smartphone supports all basic types of mobile and wireless communications, has a lot of useful functions and a battery for 14 hours (talk time).

The price for the iPhone 8 starts at 46,000 rubles.

How can you determine the most powerful (productive) smartphone in the world? In fact, to do this, to put it mildly, is difficult, because if you compare the devices directly, it turns out that one of them is better in some way, worse in some way. And what should be done?

There are special applications that allow you to test a smartphone in many ways (these are the so-called "synthetic tests"), after which they give marks. One of the most popular applications is AnTuTu Benchmark, which we have already mentioned on our website. After testing, the application outputs the result as a number. The higher the number, the, in theory, the smartphone is more productive and powerful. So, for example, if before a good smartphone was considered a device that produces about 50,000 "parrots" (as the slang calls for points for passing the test), today smartphones give out 150 thousand "parrots" and more!

The only problem is that you cannot trust such tests 100%. Why? First, the app does not take into account some important details. For example, if the smartphone is very powerful, but at the same time terribly slows down when turning pages on the desktop (due to the lack of firmware optimization), you are unlikely to know about this. And secondly, there are rumors that manufacturers allegedly know how to extract more "parrots" than they actually are, that is, in other words, they deceive the user. But whether this is really so, no one knows, so so far we are talking only about empty speculation.

Here is a list of the most powerful devices (information for January 2017, data will be updated as new results are released):
