№10 - Meizu Pro 7

Price: 32 000 rubles

Since the mobile phone market has been once and forever changed by the appearance of the first iPhone, the design of the design was by and large with the agenda. No, of course, the gadgets became increasingly perfect every year, fit an increasingly incredible screen into a compact body, experimented with flowers and materials, but in general, we did not see anything radically new for a long time. Meizu developers decided to break calm and released a device with a second screen on the rear panel, which caused non-eating discussions about that whether it has practical meaning or Chinese engineers just tried to stand out against the background of competitors.

Well, it turned out, but not just the display. Chinese flagships of smartphones in 2018-2019 ceased to look like engaged in MEIZU Pro 7 high-performance hardware combined with a stylish design and amazing ergonomics, the quality of the dual camera module does not leave indifferent, and the sound is not inferior to many players. In general, the model is extremely interesting and worthwhile.

№9 - Nubia Z17

Price: 28 000 rubles

Excellent device from not too famous brand in Russia. Operating on the latest version of the Android operating system, Z17 for quite reasonable money offers top iron, namely an eight-year Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 2450 MHz with the Adreno 540 graphics accelerator, which are easily coping with the novelties of the magnitude at maximum settings, as well as 4 gigabytes operational and 64 Internal memory is very thorough.

Though the cost of the phone and less than the flagships of other companies, Nubia has a full range of the most advanced technologies and functions, at the disposal of the phone owner there are NFC, excellent cameras, high-quality protection against moisture and dust and much more.

№8 - Xiaomi MI6

Price: 28 000 rubles

Deserving the incredible popularity in Russia, the Xiaomi brand has such a variety of modes of his smartphones, which choose which model is not so simple. The best of the iron available in the market provides a gadget of a considerable margin of safety - games will soon appear, which will not be enough to have a resource phone available. Of particular attention deserves the display of new items - Chinese engineers decided to leave experiments with the attitude of the parties and cramfly for friend models, and in the MI6 implemented many unique technologies responsible for matching the picture of the wishes of the Device owner.

Fast, extremely autonomous and very spectacular, Xiaomi Mi6 broke into the leaders of sales in the domestic market, as soon as it appeared in wide access. If you are a long-fashioned brand fan - everything and so you know, well, if you still experience Skepticism - it's time to try and make sure personally as Xiaomi products.

№7 - OnePlus 5t

Price: 36 000 rubles

A smartphone sent this year, who seriously shake the position of the permanent market leaders in the face of Samsung and EPL. The filling is the best, the amoled display with a diagonal of six inches practically does not have a framework and looks truly impressive, the main dual camera module shows the results no worse than top camera phones. High-quality and deep sound, all the necessary wireless interfaces, excellent autonomy with modest dimensions - complaints about this smartphone this year was significantly less than competitors.

The main and only minus device is the strange policy of Russian retailers, which set the price one and a half times higher than Chinese and foreign shops. If buying online is not a dark forest for you, then the purchase of OnePlus 5t can be your best purchase in the outgoing year.

№6 - SONY XPERIA XZ PREMIUM

Price: 48 000 rubles

The Russian buyer has always experienced a special attitude to Sony's products, and therefore despite the ever-overestimated price, Sony Xperia smartphones invariably had a high sales fraction. C xperia XZ Premium is not so unambiguous, yes, if you are looking for a phone with a powerful camera, then as before Sony's branded equipment shows impressive results, Cyber \u200b\u200bShot Camera is completely able to replace the camera and camcorder even if you are a very demanding photo lover, but otherwise have questions.

The design is made in a classic style, because brand fans will not be disappointed, but for the rest, the model may seem seriously obsolete. Iron top, but on the same stuffing, many competitors show better performance. The sound is traditionally good, but the volume could be added, but the screen did not disappoint. Masterpiece for Sony fans and controversial flagship for the rest.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

№5 - HTC U11

Price: 36 000 rubles

This manufacturer has lost the once leading position and on the example of this flagship the reason for this is clear. Everything in it is made on a strong solid level, they also did not save on the gland, but the smartphone does not have a single standing on the background of competitors with a strong side. Is iron strongest and well optimized? Yes, but the same is all representatives of this list, and some squeeze more from it. Display quality and demonstrates a wonderful picture? Yes, but against the background of huge diagonals and the complete cramlessness of HTC U11 looks modest.

It pleases the camera, without possessing its own unique equipment, HTC was able to achieve excellent results thanks to software improvements, but many are still removed no worse. In other words, we have an excellent smartphone in front of us, but it is unlikely to decide to buy someone other than long-term brand fans.

№4 - LG V30

Price: 48 000 rubles

The new flagship from the South Korean manufacturer was indeed able to encroacitate the samsung and apple, the phone has already spent enough access, and no complaints have already caused a sufficient time. The screen looks better on the market, the minimum framework and image quality amazed even advanced users. Performance is quite competitive with the same iPhone X, which costs almost 30,000 rubles, and also has a lot of claims by buyers.

Another aspect in which the V30 is quite likely the best on the device market today - sound. There is no such depth and quality for today anyone, but all thanks to a separate sound processor that does not have analogues among mobile devices. A very strong model that will remain a priority for many buyers up to the release of the new generation from Samsung.

№3 - HUAWEI MATE 10 PRO

Price: 39 000 rubles

The new flagship from Huaway struck the community not only with the highest characteristics of the filling and even more advanced functional of the corporate shell, but also made a bet on the development of the neural network, with which the remaining manufacturers are still extremely neat. Artificial intelligence in the description of the gadget is not mentioned not for the red sense, his activities invisibly accompanies you while using the smartphone constantly, especially successfully it copes with the tasks associated with photo and video shooting.

The device not only surprises with its innovative developments, but also with dignity withstands comparisons with flagships from other giants, the performance shown in a variety of benchmarks is not inferior to either samsunga either EPL.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

№2 - SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8

Price: 54 000 rubles

Despite the fact that from the moment the release of this model has passed for almost a year, she has not lost its relevance and to this day heads a variety of tops of sales. Of course, this is not a small degree due to the popularity of the brand, but also the technical relevance of the smartphone is striking - for a whole year, we did not see any of the devices superior in the performance of Galaxy Note, but I don't have to talk about the design and talk - every second Chinese company sees its own Duty to release a model, exactly copying this flagship.

Of course, a few weeks remains this unit as the flagship, already at the end of January, the South Korean company promises to present a new generation of mobile devices, but we probably did not have any long-term dominance of one model.

SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8

№1 - iphone x

Price: 79 000 rubles

Our rating of the best flagships of smartphones 2018-2019 has completed a lot of noise in the fall of Apple novelty. This year, the company has presented two new models at once, and the iPhone X went on sale a bit of the weather, and therefore the excitement around was created inconceivable. Whether expectations were justified - to judge difficult, the amount of technical marriage unusual for the manufacturer caused a wave of buyers around the world, which stood in the queues for several days, for the acquisition of a firmtva.

If you close on it, the iPhone once again struck all the ability to squeeze out of the most perfect iron, the next innovative ideas implemented on the basis of the company shell, as well as pricing - such expensive mass smartphones we have not yet seen. Before the release of the next generation, there is still almost a year, and therefore all the main tests for the brand are still coming, from how it will endure them will be in a large extent to depend the fate of the mobile devices market.

If you read it, then it was interesting to you, so please subscribe to our channel on, well, and for one put like a fighter (thumb up) for working. Thank you!

Features of flagship devices

The flagship smartphone is a kind of presentation of all innovative developments of a particular company.
That is why the device becomes a kind of display of all the most fashionable innovations and the latest technologies, including a clear expressive design.
However, it should be safely noted that the most favorable and necessary developments then be transferred to all other smartphones from the company's line.
Each amateur of modern gadgets will be happy to discover the so-called flagship smartphone for itself. The current market offers several such models, of which Apple iPhone 5S attracts special attention.
It is this device for the first time in the history of the development of this sphere, it was equipped with a processor, the power of which is equal to 64 bits.
Samsung Galaxy S4 is a different flagship model of a smartphone, the advantages of which is an incredibly wide variety of games and programs, even compared to the same iPhone.
In addition, this device is supplemented with a powerful chamber. However, it is worth fair to note that this smartphone is difficult to call ideal, even for its fabulous value.
The plastic case of the model does not fit into the frame of the elite telephone device.

Examples of flagship models

It is worth named as an example and another model. This is Sony Xperia. An excellent screen for sensitivity, and the decent parameters of RAM, reaching 3GB, make this smartphone is not really just fashionable, but still practical and convenient to operate.
Perhaps the totality of such characteristics is not something definitely innovative in the mobile phone market, but this company first released this kind of smartphone.
Flags are offered in another version. They are all different, but claim the role of peculiar presentations of the advantages of a company, such as LG G2.
Among the devices operating on the basis of OS Window, it is worth highlighting Nokia Lumia 925. However, despite the fact that the company itself presents it as a flagship phone, this can be doubted.
Even the previous model 920 was calculated on 32 GB of memory. The novelty allows you to work with only 16 GB. That is why, having heard the sonorous advertising name, it is not necessary without analyzing the main characteristics immediately acquire a novelty.

This is usually a device that in its capabilities is noticeably superior to other manufacturer models. Any company has its own flagships, but of course, of course, causing devices created by recognized market leaders. It is about them that they say most of all, others are focused on them, not such well-known firms.

In this case, the flagship smartphone by definition cannot be cheap. But even the high price does not stop those who want to have top devices. Today we will tell you why it is worth choosing such devices.

Advanced solutions

All the most interesting and unusual appears first in the flagship smartphones. Double cameras, incredibly high resolution screens, NFC support and 4G / LTE networks, extremely powerful processors, solid memory, wireless charging - This list can be continued. Everything we listed, first time could be seen only at the top devices. And only after a while, these features begin to meet with devices belonging to other price categories.

Unique features

Although many decisions are gradually moving from the flagship segment in the middle class and even in the budget category, the top devices often boast that they have truly unique functions. Such that almost, or even not found at other smartphones at all. Examples? You are welcome! The screen optimized to use the stylus or distinguishing press made with different power. Camera with optical zoom. Display resolution corresponding to 4K standard.

Stylish design

Not only a powerful stuffing, but also a stylish design, as well as carefully thought out ergonomics. Such a device can not not look attractive. Therefore, he makes an impression even on those who are weakly focused in the world of modern mobile devices. It immediately shows: this is a thing that deserves attention. Most modern flagships are made of carefully treated metal and tempered glass, and developers come up with interesting colors for them.

High quality

The flagship smartphone is manufactured in the calculation that you will use it for a long time. And this means that the quality of the assembly is simply impossible. Such a device is pleased to take in hand, it will not creak anything in it, and all functions work for five with a plus. The same applies to optimization, after all, the top device is considered the face of the company, and they work on it with a special effort. Yes, small trouble happens, and real incops, but much less often than with models of other price categories.

For a long time not obsolete

Any top machine is ahead of your time. This means that it will not be fully endured. Even if you do not have the opportunity every six months - a year to acquire a new device, the possibilities of your flagship will allow him for several years to compete with new models of the middle class and even exceed them. First of all, it concerns computing abilities: the top devices released several years ago with ease coping with the launch of modern applications and games. It is not surprising that there are people who are happy to acquire last year's flagships who have fallen in price thanks to the appearance of fresh ones that only received top devices.

Perennial support

For the reason called above, another is connected - long-term support. Manufacturers pay special attention to their flagship apparatus and do not forget to actualize their operating systems and branded shells. It is the top models first to receive updates, and in some cases only they are updated. Therefore, despite the fact that it took 2-3 years from the date of release, the smartphone belonging to this category does not look outdated.

Simple repair in the service center

Separately, it is worth noting that the spare parts for the flagship smartphone are easier to find than for a nameless state employee from a little-known manufacturer. In addition, leading companies have a wide network of authorized service centers in which specialists work well knowing their own business. And repair the top device is really profitable.

Universality

The flagship apparatus is a universal device, with which you can solve a variety of tasks. Using them, you understand that the definition of a smartphone as a mobile computer, which can be ringing, fully corresponds to reality. You can watch the video on the screen with excellent detail, playing in the newly released games, at high speed work on the Internet, perform video calls, photograph, and each function does not work to the detriment of others. Get such an experience with the budget device and even with the middle class device is not so simple.
