Windows.  Viruses.  Notebooks.  Internet.  office.  Utilities.  Drivers

In the past two years or so, one word has become increasingly popular in the mobile industry: flagship.
The new flagship from Samsung. What is the best flagship of 2015? This new flagship company X?

It is used everywhere, and almost every new high-quality smartphone is called the flagship. But what is a flagship smartphone really? What does this term really mean? Are we using it correctly?

By Wikipedia, the flagship is the best on this moment model, most importantly, produced in a particular organization.
From this it can be understood that specifications does not determine belonging to the flagships in any way. Let's take the most good model from explay (Explay AIR) and with its meager characteristics, it is still a flagship, although it did not stand next to the same samsung galaxy S6.

The roots of this term go back to the navy. The word flagship originated as a naval term, used to describe the most important vessel in a fleet - or a vessel carrying a commander. It also explains why, especially in the mobile industry, the term has become so popular, and... overused.
If the flagship is the best and most revered ship in the fleet at the moment, then it is only natural that the company's highest-end smartphone is considered its flagship, right? In most cases, absolutely. But the term is losing its meaning, and not only because of the media.
About a month ago, everyone was waiting for the release of Lumia 730 and Lumia 830. And none of them even claimed to be the flagship. If Microsoft had not blurted out the slogan: "830 is the first affordable flagship."
What does this even mean, sorry Bill, but the Lumia 935 is more like a flagship, and it costs no less than the flagships of other companies?


Speaking in terms mobile phones, or even more specifically from Samsung's point of view, which model can be called a flagship?
Samsung releases dozens of phone models every year. Of course, only a few stand out in an endless list. Samsung smartphones: Galaxy S5 and S6, Galaxy Note 4, and the current series Galaxy Alpha smartphones. Of these, the Galaxy Alpha is definitely not a flagship brand.
The other two are regularly called flagships, but that can't be right? There is only one flagship.

The flagship has become almost synonymous with "high-end" or "premium", it is not correct.

So how to determine such a smartphone - by specification, price, or sales volume. I think the flagship should not even be absolute best phone in the company line. I would say that the flagship smartphone is the one that brings the best profit, sells better than others.

The arms race in the smartphone market is an exciting process that leaves few indifferent. Presentations of such giants as Apple or Samsung in recent years have become central events in the cultural life of all mankind, and how tomorrow will look depends on their outcome.

In order to keep up with the course of history, we have collected and analyzed the most significant models of the most famous brands for today and present the flagship smartphones of 2018-2019 to your court, which will surprise you a lot if you have not updated your mobile device for a long time.

No. 10 - Meizu Pro 7

Price: 32,000 rubles

Ever since the mobile phone market was changed once and for all by the advent of the first iPhone, design has been largely off the agenda. No, of course, every year gadgets become more and more perfect, fit an increasingly incredible screen into a compact body, experimented with colors and materials, but in general, we haven’t seen anything radically new for a long time. Meizu developers decided to break the peace and released a device with a second screen on the rear panel, which caused discussions that have not subsided so far about whether this makes practical sense or whether Chinese engineers were just trying to stand out from the competition.

Well, it turned out to stand out, but not only by the display. Chinese flagship smartphones in 2018-2019 no longer look like amusing imperfections, in Meizu Pro 7 high-performance hardware is combined with a stylish design and amazing ergonomics, the quality of the dual camera module does not leave you indifferent, and the sound is not inferior to many players. In general, the model is extremely interesting and worth the money.

№9 - Nubia Z17

Price: 28,000 rubles

An excellent device from a brand that is not yet too well-known in Russia. Working for latest version operating room Android systems, Z17 for quite reasonable money offers top-end hardware, namely the eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 2450 MHz with the Adreno 540 graphics accelerator, which can easily cope with the latest gaming industry at maximum settings, as well as 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64 internal memory- very foolish.

Although the cost of the phone is less than that of the flagships of other companies, the Nubia device has a full range of the most advanced technologies and functions, the owner of the phone has NFC, excellent cameras, high-quality protection against moisture and dust, and much more.

#8 – Xiaomi Mi6

Price: 28,000 rubles

Deserving incredible popularity in Russia Xiaomi brand has so many different lines of its smartphones that it is not so easy to choose which model is the flagship. The best hardware available on the market provides the gadget with a considerable margin of safety - there will not be games soon that will not have enough resources at the disposal of the phone. The display of the novelty deserves special attention - Chinese engineers decided to leave experiments with aspect ratio and framelessness for other models, and in Mi6 they implemented many unique technologies that are responsible for matching the picture to the wishes of the owner of the device.

Fast, extremely autonomous and very effective, Xiaomi Mi6 broke into the leaders of sales in the domestic market as soon as it appeared in the public domain. If you are a longtime fan of the brand - you already know everything, but if you are still skeptical - it's time to try and see for yourself the quality of Xiaomi products.

#7 - OnePlus 5T

Price: 36,000 rubles

Gloriously noisy this year, the smartphone, which seriously shook the position of the permanent market leaders in the face of Samsung and Apple. The filling is the best, the six-inch AMOLED display has almost no bezels and looks truly impressive, the main dual camera module shows results no worse than top-end camera phones. High-quality and deep sound, everything you need wireless interfaces, excellent autonomy with modest dimensions - this year there were significantly fewer claims to this smartphone than to competitors.

The main and only disadvantage of the device is the strange policy of Russian retailers, who set the price one and a half times higher than Chinese and foreign stores. If online shopping isn't a dark forest for you, then purchasing a OnePlus 5T could be yours. best buy in the outgoing year.

#6 - Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Price: 48,000 rubles

The Russian buyer has always had a special attitude towards Sony products, and therefore, despite the always inflated price, Sony smartphones Xperia has consistently had a high share of sales. With Xperia XZ Premium, everything is not so simple, yes, if you are looking for a phone with a powerful camera, then as before Sony branded equipment shows impressive results, the Cyber ​​Shot camera is quite capable of replacing a camera and a camcorder even if you are a very demanding photography lover, but otherwise have questions.

The design is made in a classic style, so fans of the brand will not be disappointed, but for the rest, the model may seem seriously outdated. Top-end hardware, but on the same filling, many competitors show better performance. The sound is traditionally good, but the volume could have been increased, but the screen did not disappoint. A masterpiece for Sony fans and a controversial flagship for the rest.

Sony Xperia XZ Premium

#5 - HTC U11

Price: 36,000 rubles

This manufacturer has lost its once leading position, and on the example of this flagship, the reason for this is clear. Everything in it is made at a solid solid level, they didn’t save on hardware either, but the smartphone does not have a single strength that distinguishes it from competitors. Iron is the strongest and well optimized? Yes, but all the representatives of this list have the same, and some squeeze more out of it. The display is of high quality and shows a wonderful picture? Yes, but against the backdrop of huge diagonals and complete framelessness, the HTC U11 looks modest.

Happy with the camera, not having their own unique hardware HTC has been able to achieve great results thanks to software improvements, but many still shoot just as well. In other words, we have an excellent smartphone, but it is unlikely that anyone other than long-term fans of the brand will decide to buy it.

#4 - LG V30

Price: 48,000 rubles

The new flagship from the South Korean manufacturer was really able to encroach on the seemingly unshakable dominance of Samsung and Apple, the phone has already spent enough time in public access and hasn't raised any complaints so far. The screen looks the best on the market, the minimal bezels and image quality impress even advanced users. The performance is quite competitive with the same iPhone X, which costs almost 30,000 rubles more, and besides, it has a lot of complaints from buyers.

Another aspect where the V30 is quite possibly the best device on the market today is sound. Nobody has such depth and quality today, and all thanks to a separate sound processor, which has no analogues among mobile devices. A very strong model that will remain a priority for many buyers until the release of the new generation from Samsung.

#3 – Huawei Mate 10 Pro

Price: 39,000 rubles

The new flagship from Huawei impressed the community not only with the highest characteristics of the filling and even more advanced functionality of the proprietary shell, but also relied on the development of neural networks, which other manufacturers are still handling very carefully. Artificial intelligence in the description of the gadget is not mentioned for a red word, its activity invisibly accompanies you while using your smartphone all the time, it is especially successful in coping with tasks related to 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 various benchmarks is not inferior to either Samsung or Apple.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

#2 – Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Price: 54 000 rubles

Despite the fact that almost a year has passed since the release of this model, it has not lost its relevance and to this day leads various sales tops. Of course, to no small extent this is due to the popularity of the brand, but the technical relevance of the smartphone is amazing - for a whole year we have not seen a device that is even slightly superior in performance to the Galaxy Note 8, and there is no need to talk about design - every second Chinese company sees its debt to release a model exactly copying this flagship.

Of course, only a few weeks remain for this device as a flagship, at the end of January the South Korean company promises to introduce a new generation of mobile devices, but we have never had such a long dominance of one model before.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8

#1 - iPhone X

Price: 79,000 rubles

Completes our ranking best flagships smartphones 2018-2019, a novelty from Apple that made a lot of noise in the fall. This year, the company presented two new models at once, and the iPhone X went on sale a little later, and therefore the excitement around was unthinkable. Whether the expectations were justified is difficult to judge, the amount of technical marriage, unusual for a manufacturer, caused a wave of indignation among buyers around the world, who stood in queues for several days in order to purchase the device.

If we close our eyes to this, then the iPhone once again amazed everyone with the ability to squeeze the maximum out of not the most perfect hardware, with new innovative ideas implemented on the basis of a proprietary shell, as well as pricing - we have not seen such expensive mass smartphones yet. There is still almost a year left before the release of the next generation, and therefore all the main tests for the brand are yet to come, the fate of the mobile device market will largely depend on how it withstands them.

Xiaomi Mi5s - 2 months of use

In addition to products from the smartphone company, the flagships of 2018 were also visited by a model from the company.

The competition in the mobile device market is incredibly fierce. To attract the attention of buyers, manufacturers need to annually release smartphones that impress with elegant design, excellent camera and have interesting features like face recognition.

We present to you flagship smartphones in 2018 from the most famous manufacturers. We will not rank them from the worst model to the best, since each new product has both its own “zest” and weaknesses, which we will talk about.

Sony Xperia XZ2

The cost is 59,990 rubles.

Sony's 2018 5.7-inch flagship smartphone shares the same boxy shape as previous models, but features a curved back and rounded edges. As a result, the design looks both modern and concise.

This phone is capable of 4K HDR video recording thanks to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845, so you can create your own content that looks great on any HDR capable screen.

4 GB of RAM is not absolute maximum capacity For modern phones, but most users don't need more. But 64 GB of built-in data storage will not be enough. However, you can always increase the data storage by 400 GB.

With the Xperia XZ2, Sony has updated the 3D modeling feature, allowing users to create models of people, food, and other objects using the 19MP rear camera in more high resolution. In addition, using the main camera, you can shoot video at a resolution of 960 frames per second.

Pros:

  • You can play HDR content directly on your device.
  • Excellent speakers that music lovers will surely appreciate.
  • Dynamic Vibration technology allows you to achieve the effect of presence by adjusting the intensity of the vibration along with the volume. This works with any content that has sound.

Minuses:

  • Extremely slippery.
  • Not too powerful battery 3180 mAh.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

The price is 74,990 rubles for the version with 256 GB.

The S9 Plus is equipped with a dual 12-megapixel camera with autofocus, optical stabilization, as well as support for two apertures - f / 1.5 and f / 2.4. The aperture size can change automatically depending on the lighting conditions.

A welcome change is the location of the fingerprint sensor. On the Galaxy S8 and Note 8, it was in the worst place imaginable - to the right of the camera sensor. It was inconvenient and not thought out at all. The sensor in the Galaxy S9 Plus is exactly where it should be - right below the camera, in the middle.

The Galaxy S9 Plus has a fantastically beautiful 6.2-inch bezel-less display, 6 GB of RAM and 64 to 256 GB of user storage. The processor that is installed in the smartphone - Exynos 9810 or Snapdragon 845, makes the smartphone the most productive today.

Pros:

  • One of the most beautiful smartphones on the market.
  • The display is 15 percent brighter than the representatives of the Galaxy S8 line.
  • There is a headphone jack.
  • There is expandable memory storage.
  • Dolby Atmos-enabled headphones are included.

According to unconfirmed information yet, in August 2018 Samsung will release a new Galaxy flagship Note 9, with fast wireless charging Qi, and a 4000 mAh battery. Previously, there were rumors that the Galaxy Note 9 fingerprint sensor will be built into the screen, but this assumption is not confirmed by real facts or insider information. However, Samsung can prepare a pleasant surprise for users.

Apple iPhone X

The cost is 75,432 rubles for the version with 256 GB.

There are models in the 2018 flagship smartphone rankings that look very similar to the 5.8-inch iPhone X. And no wonder, because Apple's latest gadget is a radical change from previous iPhones, and it seems to be affecting the mobile industry in such a way as strong as the first iPhone.

Touch ID has been removed from the iPhone X in favor of a new one biometric system Security Face ID. It uses two modules to project 30,000 infrared dots onto the user's face and then read the data to unlock the phone.

The top-end Apple A11 Bionic processor, 128 or 256 GB of flash memory and one of the best cameras (12/12 MP) according to DxOMark make the Apple iPhone X an excellent choice as an executive smartphone. Unless, of course, this year the company from Cupertino does not present something more stunning.

The iPhone X battery (2716 mAh) may seem a little too small compared to other flagships, but Apple has excellently optimized its hardware and software.

Pros:

  • Frameless design.
  • Convenient and fast interface.

Minuses:

  • No expandable memory storage.
  • Face ID can work with errors, although it provides face recognition in 99% of cases.

  1. "Regular" Xiaomi Mi 8 with a fingerprint sensor on the back.
  2. Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, which is very similar to Mi 8 but comes with a transparent body, an under-display fingerprint scanner and 3D scanning for face unlock.
  3. Mi 8 SE is a cheaper version with a 5.88-inch screen and a Snapdragon 710 processor versus a 6.21-inch screen and Snapdragon 845 in the "older" versions of Mi 8 and Mi 8 Explorer.

The Mi 8 has 6 GB of RAM and 64 to 256 GB of flash memory. And Mi 8 Explorer Edition comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM. All three versions will not have a slot for expanding memory.

On the back is a camera with two 12-megapixel sensors. It has optical stabilization, dual-pole autofocus and portrait mode. Among the Chinese flagship smartphones of 2018, the Mi 8 has one of the best overall DxOMark scores for stills and videos, with a score of 99. Got the same amount Korean Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

The phone uses AI to detect scenes and apply the best settings, as well as portrait photography. On the front, there is a 20-megapixel front camera with f/2.0 aperture that takes very bright and clear selfies.

It is too early to talk about the pros and cons of all three Mi 8 models. They have not yet gone on sale in Russia.

Huawei P20 Pro

The average cost is 48,750 rubles.

This 6.1-inch bezel-less Chinese smartphone is a 2018 flagship killer, both in its design and camera capabilities. The P20 Pro comes in multiple colors, including a unique "twilight" design with a glossy blue-purple gradient that changes color based on lighting conditions.

The model is equipped with three Leica cameras on the back side at once: 40 MP + 20 MP + 8 MP.

  • The main 40-megapixel color sensor provides rich color photos.
  • An additional 20-megapixel monochrome sensor captures additional details.
  • And the third 8-megapixel telephoto lens is used for additional focal length.

The 20- and 40-megapixel sensors don't have optical stabilization, but Huawei says that AI (artificial intelligence) stabilization will compensate for users' shaky hands. The smartphone also offers the world's first 5X Hybrid Zoom, which combines 3x optical zoom from an 8MP telephoto lens with additional detail from the main sensor.

The 24MP f/2.0 selfie camera lets you apply various lighting effects to your shots. It also supports AI-based 3D face modeling technology.

For photo and video shooting, Huawei P20 Pro scored 109 points in the DxOMark rating. So far, this is the best result of all.

The P20 Pro comes with the hardware we expect from a flagship Huawei device. It is equipped with a fast and powerful HiSilicon Kirin 970 octa-core chipset with neural network module, 6GB RAM and 128GB flash memory, and a Mali-G72 MP12 video processor that can handle most tasks perfectly.

The novelty from Huawei supports both the fingerprint sensor and the face unlock function.

Pros:

  • Large and very bright screen - maximum brightness of 600 nits.
  • Powerful 4000 mAh battery.

Minuses:

  • There is no 3.5mm headphone jack, but an adapter is included.
  • Does not have expandable memory storage.

The Phantom Blue version shimmers with different shades of blue and purple from different angles, while the Phantom Green was made to showcase blues and greens, reminiscent of the northern lights. . If bright colors are not to your liking, there are Midnight Black and Glacier Gray options.

The Honor 10 features a Full HD+ 5.84-inch display with 2280x1080 resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. It comes with the same HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset that powers the Honor View 10. Be it latest games, or heavy multitasking, the Honor 10 won't let you down. This is partly due to 4 GB of RAM and GPU Mali-G72 MP12. The amount of flash memory is from 64 to 128 GB.

The handset has a main 16MP f/1.8 RGB lens and a 24MP f/1.8 monochrome sensor for extra clarity and detail in images. The biggest change this year is camera functionality ( artificial intelligence— AI). To switch the camera to AI mode, you need to press the corresponding button in the camera app. When activated, Honor 10 automatically changes the camera settings to best capture the subject in real time. However, this process cannot be controlled manually.

Pros:

  • Dazzling design.
  • The Kirin 970 processor guarantees top performance.
  • Excellent features for its price.
  • The AI ​​of the camera really improves the shots.

Minuses:

  • Slippery back cover.
