Rating of powerful smartphones online. The most original flagship: Xiaomi Mi Mix

Each person saves money for different purposes. However, what many people don't realize is that keeping your savings at home is not the best solution. Instead of generating income for their owner, they only lose their real value due to inflation. In addition, people often do not restrain themselves and spend money. However, deposits in Moscow will help you not only preserve your finances, but also increase them in accordance with the agreement.

Today this product is a universal investment tool. Unlike the stock or precious metals market, you do not need special knowledge or constant analysis of the economic situation. You simply find a suitable offer and sign the contract. Moreover, in most organizations there are no restrictions on minimum contributions, and if there are any, they are small.

The contract itself is very important, so you need to familiarize yourself with the text in person before signing it. To do this, ask the bank employees to provide a sample in printed or electronic form and carefully read all the points, especially those written in small print and marked with an asterisk. With the help of such tricks, unscrupulous organizations try to mislead a potential client and include conditions that are unfavorable for him in the agreement.

Description of important points

The main advantage of the service, in addition to a stable income, is reliability. Consumer accounts are protected by the state at the legislative level through a compulsory insurance program. Therefore, in the event of liquidation or revocation of the license, you will be paid compensation. However, it is limited to 1.4 million rubles, which does not prevent you from dividing the amount exceeding this limit and placing it in several organizations, eliminating various risks.

The next aspect we will look at is account types. The first one is urgent. In this case, you place funds for a certain period of time. Of course, you have the right to apply for early withdrawal, but with a high probability the bank will refuse to pay the accumulated interest. Moreover, this type of deposit is divided into savings and accumulative, which is intended for periodic replenishment (popularly called a “piggy bank”).

The second option - on demand - comes at a low rate. The thing is that it is not profitable for an organization to keep finances for itself, knowing that the owner has the right to demand their return at any time. Such a product is preferred by that category of customers for whom the fact of reliability is enough, and potential profits are of little interest to them.

It is impossible to compile an objective list of the best smartphones of our time, taking into account the personal preferences of everyone, even the most authoritative and independent reviewer. Nevertheless, some publications still undertake this task, dooming themselves in advance to a barrage of criticism from readers outraged by this or that decision.

The reported rating was presented by the authoritative publication Business Insider. Its TOP 20 includes almost all famous vendors and brands (with the possible exception of Sony), and it is also noteworthy that all 5 of the latest models from Apple, including the iPhone SE, are in the top ten.

TOP 20 best smartphones of 2016

The gadget, very controversial from the point of view of design and ergonomics, nevertheless appealed to fans of the “blackberry” brand. One of the main criteria for getting into the rating is a fairly low cost. The QWERTY keyboard familiar to all BlackBerry smartphones, good performance indicators and the reliability of the device will not break a serious hole in the budget - you will have to pay about $300 for a “passport”.

Since middle and senior managers of Western companies switched en masse from BlackBerry to iPhone, the Canadian vendor's only hope has been ardent fans of its products and physical keyboards. It was for them that the BlackBerry Classic model was released, made in the company’s traditional style, but with wider functionality. Price: $280.

However, Canadians still tried to move away from the template and enter a more mass market. The black sheep in the BlackBerry lineup was the original Priv smartphone with a slide-out keyboard. Its main difference from its counterparts is the Android operating system instead of the usual proprietary firmware. The cost is about 370 dollars.

One of the most affordable smartphones on the market in its category. Available in three variations (G4, G4 Plus and G4 Play), it has good technical characteristics and an unpretentious design, the price ranges from 200 to 250 dollars.

Last year's South Korean phablet is still quite popular, despite the release of the new Note 7. The device is powered by an 8-core Exynos chip, has 4 GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel main and 5-megapixel front cameras and, of course, a proprietary S-Pen stylus . At the moment, you can purchase the gadget for about $550.

This rating is not complete without B-brands. Yesterday's "noname" ZTE made it clear in May of this year that it is quite capable of competing with premium segment sharks such as LG, HTC and even Samsung. The new flagship received full ammunition for this - a top-end Snapdragon 820 chip, Adreno 530 graphics, 4/6 GB of RAM, a fingerprint scanner, a sensitive Force Touch touch panel (analogous to Apple's 3D Touch), and an excellent 5.5-inch display. For such a set today you will have to pay about 400 dollars.

14. LG G5

The date for the presentation of the new flagship, which replaced the G5 described above, was chosen extremely strangely by LG marketers - September 7 (the iPhone 7/Plus were shown on this day). Naturally, Apple's new products overshadowed the Koreans' event, and the latter's smartphone turned out to be quite good. Externally, it differs little from its predecessor, but is equipped with more powerful hardware; the cost is just over $600.

12. HTC 10

Having received a lot of criticism from reviewers and users, Taiwanese designers finally decided to radically redesign the appearance of the new flagship. The cut edges of the case look just great, as does the refusal to place the logo on the front panel. As for the technical characteristics, there is full compliance with the trends of spring 2016 - Snapdragon 820, 4 GB of RAM, USB Type-C, etc. Price: $550.

11. Moto Z

Another modular smartphone in the ranking, this time made in China. Unlike the Korean analogue, an additional battery, a proprietary Lenovo projector or speaker is connected not to the bottom, but to the rear panel of the smartphone. Otherwise, the Moto Z is a fairly thin, compact and lightweight device with top-end specs for 2016. Price: 600-700 dollars.

It is difficult to understand what the author of the rating was guided by when placing OnePlus 3 in 10th position. A design assembled from around the world (especially a lot of threads were borrowed from HTC), this year’s most popular processor Snapdragon 820 + Adreno 530 video accelerator, 5.5-inch display with a pixel density of just over 400 per inch, etc. The only thing that catches your eye is 6 GB of RAM, but there is no memory card slot, which is atypical for Chinese smartphones. The cost is about 400 dollars.

9. iPhone SE

The iPhone SE released this spring opens the Apple rating page. The device is a kind of hybrid of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s. The smartphone inherited technical characteristics from the first, and design from the second. You can purchase the gadget for $400.

Last year's Apple flagship didn't become a sensation, but as expected, it lived up to the "s" in its name. The main features, in addition to traditional processor and peripheral upgrades, are 3D Touch technology and the Live Photos function. The iPhone 6s costs $539.

The 5.5-inch sibling of the iPhone 6s is also not too different from its predecessor, the iPhone 6 Plus - similar design, several new features, faster performance and battery life, and an improved camera. Cost: $650.

6. Google Pixel XL

After rebranding and abandoning the Nexus line, Google decided to increase control over the production of its own smartphones, and at the same time significantly raise prices. The 5.5-inch Google Pixel XL is a direct competitor to the iPhone 7 Plus, while the “good corporation” claims the world’s best camera (which, naturally, is compared to the dual camera of the Apple phablet), a more effective virtual assistant Google Assistant (hello, Siri) and incredible performance provided by the tandem Snapdragon 821 processor and the latest Android Nougat OS. You will have to pay no less than $769 for a new Google Phone.

The past year has been rich in new products in the world of telephony. Long-awaited version updates, unexpected premieres, the appearance of newcomers - the producers amazed as best they could. It’s easy to get confused among the abundance of released gadgets; each brand is trying to beat its competitors by creating powerful advertising campaigns.
- the task is not easy. We have created a rating of the best smartphones of 2016, which includes the most productive and popular models.

2nd place – Google Pixel

A newcomer to the Russian market receives a silver medal in the rating.
Google has long been producing high-quality devices under its own brand, but from factories of other famous companies, such as LG, HTC, Samsung. This time a new model was released - Pixel - without attaching someone else's name.

The optimized Nougat 7.1 platform allows the device to be highly productive. A capacious battery keeps the battery in working condition for almost a day, in sleep mode - up to three weeks.
The five-inch 2.5D screen, covered with oleophobic protection, has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

The camera attracts special attention. A well-known software and hardware developer created the international DxOMark rating, which tests photo and video cameras. In 2016, DxOMark awarded first place to the Google Pixel. The photos are truly fantastic, without a single noise, clear and bright.
The cost of Google Pixel in Russia is from 40 thousand rubles.

The operating life of smartphones is often the main characteristic when purchasing them. Few people will like the need to charge the device every evening, as well as the possibility of being left with a discharged device if you find yourself away from the outlet for a long time.

The Phonearena portal tests battery life in its review of each smartphone. 2016 is coming to an end and all the major releases have already taken place, so we can take stock and choose the best models in terms of autonomy.

First, let's say a few words about the testing methodology: all devices are compared on equal terms, the display brightness is set to 200 nits, which should be enough to work with the screen outdoors. Next, all devices are tested in a browser, which simulates the typical use of smartphones. It measures how long the smartphone can work with the screen turned on; the time spent in standby mode is not considered.

1. 

   The iPhone 7 Plus has a 2,900 mAh battery, up slightly from last year's 2,750 mAh. By cleverly managing power consumption, the new larger iPhone can last longer than most Android smartphones with larger batteries. The device took 1st place in this rating with a result of 9 hours 5 minutes.

2. 

   It's as if Apple knows a secret when it comes to battery life in mobile devices, making smaller batteries last longer than Android phones. The iPhone 7 battery capacity is 1960 mAh, which is 15% more than last year's 1715 mAh. It seems that the abandonment of the headphone jack has benefited autonomy and allowed for an increase in the size of the battery inside the case. The iPhone 7 result was 7 hours 46 minutes.

3. 

   The Google Pixel smartphone received a slight increase in battery size compared to the device, from 2700 to 2770 mAh. This is a completely minor bonus, but the increase in battery life was more noticeable. The tests showed a result of 7 hours 45 minutes, which means 3rd place in this rating and first among Android devices.

4. Droid Edition

   

   The ultra-thin Moto Z Droid Edition has a small 5.5-inch screen with Quad HD resolution for its form factor. The smartphone is almost at the end of this rating with a result of 5 hours 52 minutes. Moderate use will allow it to last until the evening, but with more frequent use it is better to stay close to the outlet.

5. LG G5

   The LG G5 was praised for its use of a removable battery with a capacity of 2800 mAh, but its autonomy is not at all impressive. Like many hardware specs, battery capacity can be deceiving, but not in this case. The G5 lasted 5 hours 51 minutes, while the previous LG flagship showed a result of 6 hours 6 minutes due to a larger battery. The device will be able to work during the day, but daily recharging is inevitable.
