Phones like iPhone 5 design. Buyer's guide

Examine Smartphones - the future. Unfortunately, the lawmakers of the world of gadgets believe that only those who are ready to upset are worthy of the future. Discuss - whether we will not be today. Today we will look at the real curious smartphones for the real value for Russia.

10. The cheapest Leagoo Kiicaa Mix

The cheapest cramless smartphone, which can only be found on sale. Cheaper does not even happen in use or broken. Despite this, the phone is very good: compact, convenient, with excellent 5.5-inch FullHD-screen made by Sharp. A mediocre processor and cameras are justified - take a look at the price. What can I ask for 6 thousand? Works? Already excellent! And he is also compact.

9. "Xiaomi-clone": Vernee Mix 2

This smartphone will seem familiar to all lovers of Chinese devices - with a similar one you will meet at the very end of the article. However, the cheapest Vernee offers balance characteristics and a pleasant price - it is 3 times cheaper than Xiaomi Mix! Inside a decent time for the standards of 2017 filling: 6-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 (Quad HD), a budget platform Helio P25, 4 GB of operational and 64 permanent memory, a good double camera and Android 7.0.

8. Successful copy: Vkworld S8

SAMSUNG S8 clone for acceptable price. The company managed to establish itself as a manufacturer of fairly suitable state employees, so their S8 turned out to be a good smart. Savings are almost no feeling: 6-inch original Quad HD screen LG, memory and samsung battery, double chamber of tolerant quality. Racing only the processor - like a majority of such Chinese, a weak mediatek is used in Vkworld. Nevertheless, a good alternative to the cheap "Xiaomi" is incurred.

7. Workhorse: Elephone S8

Another Mix-smartphone: This time with a 6-inch closing screen of the 18: 9 format with a QUAD HD resolution. To get around competitors, Elephone used productive energy efficient helio processor X25, equipping the device with an impressive battery 5 100 mAh. A fashionable double chamber did not do - instead, one high-quality "peephole". By the way, this S8 is a stylish glass case on a metal frame: rounded edges and a phenzui.

6. Chief Chinese Execute: OPPO F5

In the new OPPO F5 there is: a steep self-chamber on 20 meters with a 1 / 2.8-inch sensor and a good basic; Face recognition function; 6-inch screen with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 without protrusions; a bunch of functions to reduce eye fatigue; Metal case with a thickness of 7.5 millimeters with the finest antennas over. The processor is lagging behind - MEDIATEK HELIO P23 (MT6763T) is used. But there are 2 sim machines, and a separate slot for MicroSD.

OPPO has not yet been selling their smartphones outside of Asia, and offers English-Chinese firmware. Target to buy OPPO / VIVO cost without translation (in Android system language It is not a language of applications and does not affect the keyboard language).

Buy freely in Russia is impossible. At home and in Southeast Asia - 17,000 rubles.

5. The one with whom it all started: Sharp Aquos S2

It is on the account of Sharp the first serial beamless smartphone. Tradition continues. Moreover, unlike early models, Sharp Aquos 2 can be purchased even in Russia. This is rather cheap compared even with iPhone 7 easily furnished on the technical characteristics of many flagship apparatus. What is only a 5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 4k! It takes an 87.5% front panel, so the smartphone fits into the dimensions of the 5-inch apparatus - or classic iPhone SE.

4. "Normal" Recordsman: Nubia Z17S

On one iPhone X you can buy 4 such ZTE. Meanwhile, the current flagship Nubia offers not only steep concise design, but also the minimum side frame. The actual measurements say that the image to the air is less than that of Xiaomi Mix and iPhone X. with a standard layout! However, there is something to offer: modern processor Snapdragon 835, excellent camera (almost Samsung - and much better than a variety of Xiaomi / Meizu), and even a good audio care. Additional advantage - 5.2 inches diagonal screen.

3. The first medium of equal: Xiaomi MI MIX

The first generation of beamless xiaomi smartphones Still selling in Chinese stores. The absence of a framework and a bunch of innovative solutions reduced the real benefit of the device: stylish, fashionable - but it is easy and still raw. Quiet speaker and no camera fee for a huge 6.4-inch screen, occupying 84% of the front panel. Nevertheless, it was Mi Mix that became a source of all those given in the article of monotonous Chinese crafts.

2. Updated: Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

Xiaomi missed troubles with cramless smartphones. Therefore, in the new MI MIX 2 frames, and the screen has become less. As a user of these models, I will say honestly - it is good that the framework is, and the screen has decreased to 6 inches and received the aspect ratio of 18: 9 (read our review). Useful screen area - 93% facial panel. For the style you have to pay: there is no conversational speaker, 3.5 mm connector. Completes the picture unexpectedly mediocre camera on Sony IMX386 with optical stabilization. But the smartphone is 2.5 times cheaper than iPhone X.

The iPhone is the best smartphone that invented humanity, and to be accurate, Steve Jobs and Apple. A strong statement that we decided to check. You see, today it was formed almost a religion that does not accept any electronics except Apple. Undoubtedly, the tweeters are of the brand, but it was the "screwdrived apple", under the wing, the army of fanatics, who consider smartphones on Android with unused, despite the fact that OS from Google made a huge jump in recent years, surpassing in many ways. We decided to prove to all that you can live without a new iPhone 7, pose several models that are better in everything (well, or almost everything).

SAMSUNG GALAXY S8.

In our rating of smartphones that better iPhone 7, this handsome man occupies a leading line. Yes, it is expected, yes the device from the Korean manufacturer has its drawbacks, but, by and large, he deals with a competitor from Cupertino.

Design? Well, the iPhone 7 is not bad, but something unusual it does not have. Typical shape smartphone, quite wide frames at the top and bottom, and most importantly - almost zero differences from what we have seen in iPhone 6 and subsequent models. SAMAUNG GALAXY S8 appeared before us in a rethinking design, which, you see, I liked it. Oh, this elongated glass case and an unusual high-resolution display ratio. Just put SAMAUNG GALAXY S8 and iPhone 7 near: Brand new experience and unchanged appearance.

We go further. Cameras. Without going to B. specifications, With confidence you can say that Samaung Galaxy S8 is better. Only the lazy did not compare the cameras of these smartphones, and only Apple fans rose to the side of the iPhone. Almost all criteria in front of Galaxy S8: faster focus, the best shooting in the dark, much more than different chips. Moreover, in this regard, Koreans bypass Cuppertinov not the first year.

Go to filling. Stupid to compare processors of two the best smartphones - For a long time, large companies in the top rules are installed chips, which will be enough with a margin for one year. We go to memory, but not operational, but immediately to constant. SAMAUNG GALAXY S8 is presented in the only version of 64 GB - optimally today. Apple allows you to choose: 32, 128 or 256 GB. Not optimal: 32 GB - little; For 128 GB and more - we will have to overpay well. In addition, Samaung provides the user with the ability to expand the amount of memory using memory cards up to 256 GB. And yes, what else is not the iPhone 7, so it is a 3.5 mm connector for headphones.

And what about autonomy? At the iPhone 7, the battery is designed for 1960 mAh, Samaung Galaxy S8 has 3000 mAh. But these are only numbers that in life something? In the conversation mode, the first lives up to 14 hours, and the second shows all 20. In the listening mode iPhone 7 will last 40 hours, and Samaung Galaxy S8 to 67 hours. How not to mark wireless chargingnot everyone needs, but quite an interesting thing. In the opposition of Galaxy S8 VS iPhone 7, it can only boast only the first.

You can attribute iOS to the advantages of the iPhone 7 if you are a big lover of this platform. Finally, as for the price, Samaung Galaxy S8 can be bought on average for 46,000 rubles, according to Yandex.Makret. For last year's iPhone 7, 32 GB will have to lay out about 44,000 rubles.

Xiaomi Mi6.

The recent smartphone of the Chinese company, which is long before the announcement dubbed the killer of the flagships, is quite ready to take up with the iPhone 7 Plus. Excellent screen, topmost "iron", serious amounts of memory, double advanced camera, fresh version Android and all this two times cheaper than iPhone.

Need good screen? Xiaomi MI6 will provide you with it - a 5.15-inch panel with a resolution of FullHD, which boasts a large number of pixels per inch. This is attached to the glass of the last generation and excellent oleophobic coating. Full order and with appearance, as well as materials: Premium design and excellent build quality.

Can you live without a photo? A couple of cameras on the back of the smartphone, by the way, the manufacturer relied on the capabilities of the iPhone 7 Plus cameras, so there are no problems with the quality of the photo. Something they can lose with other flagships (rather from Samsung), but they will not turn their tongue with bad name.

Full order and with productivity: here and the last flagship Snapdragon 835, and 6 GB random access memory For multitasking, which provides excellent results in synthetic benchmarks and in real use. The memory of Xiaomi MI6 offers a choice of 64 or 128 GB with the ability to expand MicroSD. You will definite problems with the speed of work of the smartphone.

Key point, if you compare Xiaomi Mi6 and iPhone 7 Plus (since both have a double camera), it becomes natural, the price tag. Whatever spoken, but it is the cost that becomes often the decisive argument in the confrontation, especially since paying more if the same characteristics and even "LUMSH" offer for a smaller amount. So, the iPhone 7 Plus today will cost 53,000 rubles (per version on 32 GB), Xiaomi Mi6 can be bought at 64 GB for 30000 rubles. The difference is obvious.

LG G6.

LG G6 really wanted to hit users, but the dream destroyed Samsung Galaxy S8, which, with the same aspect ratio of the screen, the rest turned out to be better. However, the smartphone from LG is not worth the smartphone. This is one of the most unusual devices of the beginning of 2017, well-assembled and with the characteristics of the flagship. And in the confrontation of LG G6 against the iPhone 7 Plus, we have a struggle on equal.

LG G6, like S8 from Samsung, received a screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9, which complements the resolution of 2880 x 1440 pixels with high density. The display of the smartphone is not curved, like a Korean competitor, which liked many. In terms of design, the LG G6 is not inferior to the iPhone 7 Plus, and the front part looks more modern and stylish. The assembly at Korean is better, which also confirms the protection according to the IP68 standard (at the smartphone from Apple - IP67). IP68 provides full protection From water and dust, in the iPhone, protection only from splashes. In addition, LG G6 is not afraid of drops from a high height. And the iPhone can so?

Unfortunately, the processor is not from the last Qualcomm collection, but still current Snapdragon 821, which will ensure excellent speed of work, which 4 GB of RAM will help him. The drive is designed for 64 GB, and with the ability to expand 2-terabyte cards. Not bad, right?

Want two cameras? In LG G6, they are, and very worthy. By the way, we remind you that it is LG first introduced a double chamber in its previous flagship. To the quality of the photo does not appeal - no worse than many.

Well, about the price. We have already reached on the cost of the iPhone 7 Plus. At the time of start, the sales of LG G6 cost approximately as the iPhone - a little less than 800 dollars. However, in recent months, the smartphone has dropped great in price, and it is possible to buy it today for only 35,000 rubles. Here you have another smartphone on Android, which is better than iPhone 7 Plus.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Sony has recently infrequently happy with new smartphones, and those that come out, surprise are not capable. However, she recently introduced a trump card, which shelled a long time in the sleeve. Sony Xperia. XZ Premium will be surprised by the 4K screen - the first smartphone in its kind. But not only the ultra-high resolution display will shut the iPhone 7 Plus per belt.

A little about the screen. Before us is a 5.5-inch matrix with a resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels, outstanding 801 pixels per inch. As a result, we get an excellent picture on which it will not be possible to see the graininess for sure. Constantly find pixels on smartphone screens, then Sony Xperia XZ Premium is specifically for you. Especially such permission will have to taste with virtual reality lovers.

Performance is provided by the latest 8-core Snapdragon 835 chip. For multitasking, 4 GB of RAM is responsible for multitasking - not a record, but applications can simultaneously open a lot. For playing games, photos, music and other users Available 64 GB + Ability to set a memory card.

The camera is true, one, but in this case - and one in the Warrior field. A 19-megapixel sensor with a diaphragm F / 2 and laser autofocus will provide excellent photos, which, in principle, does not surprise. Yet in front of us Sony. So more about lovers of Selfie, the company was disturbed by installing a 13 megapixel camera on the front of the screen.

As for other Sony Xperia XZ Premium specifications, then there, too, you can believe, full order. And NFC, and a very fast fingerprint scanner, and Bluetooth 5.0. Yes, even the iPhone 7 plus will envy! But in terms of the price of Sony Xperia XZ Premium is close to today's opponent - an average of 55,000 rubles. And yet this smartphone is better than iPhone 7 Plus.

OnePlus 5.

Well, at the end the most fresh. OnePlus 5 just recently got off the conveyor, put in one row with other flagship killers. And this guy is also ready to compete with the iPhone 7 Plus. Why, in fact, not? Double camera - There is, top "hardware" - on the spot, a good screen - here, a truncated double camera - is present, more acceptable price - please, oneplus does not require a huge overpayment for the brand.

OnePlus 5 - iPhone 7 Plus for the poor. Chinese smartphone adopted the design of the apple flagship, got a pair high-quality cameras, cheerful "hardware" and long-playing battery. Assembly, materials and ergonomics - everything is simply at the height.

5.5-inch with FullHD-resolution provides high-quality picture. The flagship chip from Qualcomm and 6 or 8 GB of RAM provides smart application launch and perfect interface operation. At speed, the OxyNogenos branded shell also affected. Standard for Chinese flagships The volume of the drive is 64 or 128 GB. Well, praise deserves autonomy: more than 9 hours of the screen enabled. iPhone 7 Plus before this figure is very far away.

The double camera is not as good as I would like, but you can get a successful photo, it is only a little more effort. Settings for cameras, by the way, are also borrowed from the iPhone 7 Plus.

In the minimum configuration of OnePlus 5, you can buy approximately 32,000 rubles, which can really be called accessible if you compare everything with the same iPhone.

As a result

So, competitors who can replace the iPhone 7 and 7 plus are even debugging. Each Chinese, presented in the flagship segment, strives to move smartphones from Cupertino from the royal throne, which is not surprising. And it turns out that competitors are increasingly. In this you could make sure with us. Well, we will say goodbye. We hope, the article creates a lot of disputes, and discussing on the topic, whether smartphones are better than the iPhone, transferred to the comments.

Oh yeah, and appreciate the article.

Apple was not the first manufacturer, released a smartphone with a cut in the screen. Shortly before that, the pioneer was Essential Phone. But this smartphone did not become a bestseller, despite the decent characteristics and an acceptable priceYes, and he has a very small cutout. But after the release of the iPhone X, Chinese manufacturers have adopted a new designer reception. At least OPPO, VIVO, Huawei and Xiaomi should show this spring novelties with "MONOBROVA".

Huawei prepares the P20 Lite model, Xiaomi should be cut off new flagship MI7, and OPPO and VIVO prepare models F7 and V9, respectively. Pictures of these devices have already appeared on the network, but these were unofficial leaks. And this selection includes smartphones similar to iPhone X and already announced officially. While the list consists of 4 such models (mainly budget), but as the range is replenished, it will be expanded and complemented by new items.

Leagoo S9 - At the moment, perhaps the most famous smartphone similar to the iPhone X. After all, the manufacturer is not just modestly announced it on the official website and in press releases, but brought to the world to the MWC exhibition. The overall design concept of this smartphone repeats the stylistics of the apple flagship, but Leagoo S9 refers to the budget category and costs about $ 150.

Leagoo S9 is not so refined as iPhone, but also has a glossy rear panel, Screen with reduced frames and cutout at the top of the screen. The screen is made using IPS technology, has a resolution of 1512x720 points. Inside the smartphone - MT6750 chipset, 4 GB of operational and 32 GB of permanent memory. The main chamber is double, with matrices 13 and 2 PM, front - 8 megapixel. Battery capacity is 3300 mAh. Works device running Android 8 OS.

Vernee M7.

Vernee M7 was also represented on the MWC, but the manufacturer limited himself to a description of the characteristics, without calling the price and date of release of the novelty. The photo shows that as well as the previous model in the list, a smartphone similar to the iPhone X in terms of the overall concept, but is distinguished by a more budgetary implementation. The framework of the device is wider, the characteristics are modest, more than $ 150-200, the novelty definitely does not pull.

The smartphone housing has a glossy panel from the back, cutout above the screen, and the display itself is based on a 5.85-inch 19.5: 9 format matrix. Permission is not called, but considering the MT6750 chipset, it is probably a variation on the topic HD +. RAM promised 4 GB, drive - 64 GB. The main chamber is double, with sensors 16 and 5 megapixel, front - 13 megapixel. Battery capacity is declared at 3300 mAh, and OS on board - Android 8.

Oukitel U18.

Oukitel U18 is another smartphone similar to the iPhone X in front. This unit is estimated at $ 180. What is interesting, the manufacturer declares the use of the matrix with a 21: 9 proportions, but its resolution (1512x720) and a diagonal (5,85 "). Whether the Chinese live in different worlds, whether they have any own secret techniques Counting screen characteristics, but clearly have "miracles". After all, with the stated ratio of the parties 21: 9, the display resolution should be 1680x720, but not 1512x720.

OUKITEL U18 characteristics are typical for low-cost Chinese devices. It is equipped with the MT6750 chipset (and when they are already completed warehouses, in 2018 it would be time to move on Helio P2x), 4 GB of operational and 64 GB of permanent memory. The double chamber is declared for 16 + 5 meters from behind, front to 13 mp, 4000 mAh battery. From the OS box on board Android 7, but promise an upgrade to Android 8.

Elephone A4 Pro.

ELEPHONE A4 PRO - the most slept secret smartphone similar to the iPhone X. Its announcement was held on March 6, but there is still no detailed specifications of the device. There are only some of the characteristics of the Elephone A4 Pro and the fact that the minimum price of it will be from $ 100. With such a price tag promise mEDIATEK chipset Helio P23, which is very tempting. But, Elephone would not be if there was no little trick here.

It is impossible to vouch for all 100%, but the experience of acquaintance with the company's previous models of smartphones (for example, Elephone S7) shows that the minimum price tag is usually given to a simplified modification of the novelty. So it is impossible to exclude a script, in which for $ 100 it will be possible to buy a conditional Elephone A4 on the basis of MT6737 and from 2/16 GB of memory, and for the model with the prefix Pro aspass times 2 more.

Conclusion

Market monitoring shows that while (in March 2018) smartphones similar to iPhone X are not so many. But considering the experience of the past, it is safe to say that they will soon become much more. After all, the same year ago, the devices with screens 18: 9 were rare, but in the second half of 2017, everyone began to actively catch the missed.
