Only half of 2018 has passed, and the market has already turned out to be saturated with excellent smartphones. This year, customers have already been pleased with Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi and Meizu.
New smartphones 2018
Despite being highly competitive and spending heavily on advertising, Apple and Samsung have failed to conquer the entire device market this year. Young Chinese companies are rapidly taking over the market by releasing smartphones with great features at a lower price point.
Smartphone Trends 2018:
- Camera, most often double;
- Framelessness;
- Fingerprint scanner;
- User identification systems (face recognition).
Let's look at the models of famous brands that have already been presented this year.
Meizu 15
In April of this year, three flagship smartphones were presented in China at once: Meizu 15, 15 Lite and 15 Plus. Meizu 15 is equipped with a 12 megapixel dual camera. The smartphone has a fingerprint scanner in the form of a round touch button at the bottom of the screen, there is also face recognition, but it works slower. This model uses an 8-core Snapdragon 660 processor. The 3000 mAh battery is sufficient for this model, and this model also supports fast charging mCharge (24 W). According to user reviews, this battery at 100% charge is excellent for a whole day with a good load at maximum brightness. Also, this model is distinguished by high sound quality, stereo sound from the speakers. This gadget boasts ideal dimensions for comfortable one-handed use. The model measures 143 x 72 x 7.25 mm and weighs 152 g. An excellent model on Android 7.1.1 + Flyme 7.0. The only drawback of this model is the lack of NFC. This model can be attributed to the middle price segment. If you use the Svyaznoy promo code from the kodi-promo.ru resource, you can get more favorable conditions for ordering the desired gadget.
Samsung Galaxy S9 / S9 +
These models were presented in February this year and became a rebranding of last year's flagship from Samsung. This model is distinguished by a dual rear camera with an updated sensor, a fingerprint sensor located under the camera. In the video mode, there is a Slo-mo slow motion mode at 960 frames / sec. The camera is equipped with a motion sensor. Another novelty for the Russian market in this model is the Exynos 9810 Octa processor, although the Snapdragon 845 is installed in the flagship for the US and Chinese markets. In principle, this model is practically indistinguishable from its predecessor in appearance. The flagship smartphone model of 2018 received the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system and the Samsung Experience 9.0 proprietary shell. Another interesting novelty in this model is another method of biometric authentication, which combines face and iris scanning in difficult lighting conditions. The battery capacity remains unchanged at 3000 mAh. The smartphone perfectly withstands 5-6 hours of screen operation in active use. You can take advantage of Adaptive fast Charging, as well as WPC (Qi) or PMA wireless charging. Of course, a big disadvantage is the price of such a smartphone, but with the Svyaznoy promo code, you can pleasantly save money or get favorable order conditions.
Xiaomi mi 8
This model got out of the Mi series, since in honor of the company's anniversary, the smartphone was presented as Mi 8, and not everyone expected Mi 7. The smartphone screen, and the back cover with a vertical camera, resembles the design of the Iphone X, released last year. Compared to last year's flagship Mi 6, the new product is one centimeter taller and one and a half centimeters wider. An excellent camera (front 20 MP, and the main 12 + 12 MP), a new processor from Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and 6 GB of RAM allow this smartphone to score 270,016 points in Antutu Benchmark. It is noteworthy that Mi 8 became the first smartphone to officially receive the proprietary MIUI 10 shell based on Android 8.1. The 3400 mAh battery is also good news and the Mi 8 supports QC4 + fast charging technology.
Huawei Honor P20 Pro
Huawei went even further and incorporated a triple camera into the phone. No wonder this smartphone has received the nickname "camera phone". At the moment, this is the best option for amateur photographers, as the "smart assistant" helps to correctly compose the frame. This smartphone is perfect, no downsides. Interesting and original design, fast fingerprint scanner, as well as fast face recognition, even faster than the Iphone X, its only drawback is the impossibility of recognition in the dark. It must also be said that the smartphone is protected by IP67 technology, so it is not afraid of pouring rain. But its battery capacity is much higher than that of the above presented new smartphones of other brands - 4000 mAh. Of course there is NFC, its convenience in modern life is obvious. 6 GB of RAM are also good news. Of course, it's worth mentioning separately about the cameras. The topmost one is a camera with 3x magnification, after it 2 small dots are laser focusing systems, then a camera lens with a color 40 MP matrix and a camera lens with a black and white 20 MP camera, the last one is a flash combined with a special detection sensor the temperature of the light to determine the correct white balance. The results of the DxOMark resource test show us 109 points for the Huawei P20 Pro, which is 10 points higher than the result of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus and as much as 12 points higher than the Apple IPhone X.
