Features of flagship devices

• A flagship smartphone is a kind of presentation of all the innovative developments of a particular company.
• That is why the device becomes a kind of display of all the most fashionable new products and the latest technologies, including a clear, expressive design.
• However, it is worth boldly noting that the most profitable and necessary developments are then necessarily transferred to all other smartphones from the company’s line.
• Every lover of modern gadgets will be happy to discover the so-called flagship smartphone. The current market offers several such models, of which special attention is drawn Apple iPhone 5S.
• Exactly this device For the first time in the history of development of this field, it was equipped with a processor whose power is equivalent to 64 bits.
• Samsung Galaxy S4 is different flagship model smartphone, the advantages of which are an incredibly wide variety of games and programs, even compared to the same iPhone.
• In addition, this device is complemented by a powerful camera. However, it’s fair to say that this smartphone can hardly be called ideal, even for its fabulous price.
• The plastic body of the model does not fit into the frame of an elite telephone device.

Examples of flagship models

• It is worth mentioning one more model as an example. This is Sony Xperia. Excellent screen sensitivity, and decent parameters RAM, reaching 3GB, make this smartphone not just fashionable, but also practical and easy to use.

  Perhaps the combination of such characteristics is not something definitely innovative in the mobile phone market, but this company was the first to release this kind of smartphone.

• Flagships are offered in different versions. They are all different, but they claim to be unique presentations of the advantages of a particular company, such as the LG G2.
• Among the devices operating on the basis of OS Window, it is worth highlighting the Nokia Lumia 925. However, despite the fact that the company itself presents it as a flagship phone, this can be doubted.

  Even the previous 920 model was designed for 32 GB of memory. The new product allows you to work with only 16 GB. That is why, having heard a sonorous advertising name, you should not immediately purchase a new product without analyzing the main characteristics.

Competition in the market mobile devices incredibly tough. To attract the attention of buyers, manufacturers need to annually release smartphones that impress with an elegant design, an excellent camera and have interesting options such as identification by the user's face.

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

Sony Xperia XZ2

Cost - 59,990 rubles.

Sony's 2018 5.7-inch flagship smartphone has the same square shape as previous models, but is distinguished by backward curved and rounded edges. As a result, the design looks both modern and laconic.

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

4GB of RAM isn't the 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 your data storage by 400 GB.

With the Xperia XZ2, Sony has updated its 3D modeling feature, allowing users to create higher-resolution models of people, food and other objects using the 19MP rear camera. In addition, using the main camera you can shoot video with 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 creates an immersive experience by adjusting vibration intensity along with volume. This works with any content that has audio.

Cons:

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

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

Price - 74,990 rubles for the version with 256 GB.

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

Galaxy S9 Plus has a fantastically beautiful frameless 6.2-inch display, 6 GB of RAM and from 64 to 256 GB of user data storage. The processor 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 that of the Galaxy S8 line.
• There is a headphone jack.
• There is expandable memory storage.
• The set includes headphones with Dolby Atmos support.

Cons:

• The phone is very fragile, the display is easily scratched, and the glass back panel will collect all your fingerprints.
• Battery capacity - 3500 mAh. During intensive use (video calls, social networks, sending email, watching videos from YouTube) The Galaxy S9 Plus will last about six hours.

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

Apple iPhone X

Cost: 75,432 rubles for the 256 GB version.

The list of 2018 flagship smartphones includes models that look very similar to the 5.8-inch iPhone X. And it's not surprising, since Apple's newest gadget is a radical change from previous iPhones, and it seems to be influencing the mobile device industry in the same way. just as strong as the first iPhone.

Touch ID has been removed from the iPhone X in favor of the new Face ID biometric security system. It uses two modules to project 30,000 infrared dots onto the user's face and then reads 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 the DxOMark rating make the Apple iPhone X an excellent choice as an executive smartphone. Unless, of course, this year the company from Cupertino presents something more stunning.

The iPhone X's 2,716mAh battery may seem small compared to other flagships, but Apple has optimized its hardware and software excellently.

Pros:

• Frameless design.
• Convenient and fast interface.

Cons:

• No expandable memory storage.
• Face ID may have errors, although it provides facial recognition 99% of the time.

Xiaomi Mi 8

Price - from 420 dollars.

The newest Xiaomi phone comes in three variants.

1. “Regular” Xiaomi Mi 8 with a fingerprint sensor on the back panel.
2. Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition, which is very similar to the Mi 8, but comes with a transparent body, an in-display fingerprint scanner and 3D scanning for unlocking the user's face.
3. Mi 8 SE is a cheaper option 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 the Mi 8 and Mi 8 Explorer.

On board the Mi 8 there is 6 GB of RAM and from 64 to 256 GB of flash memory. And the Mi 8 Explorer Edition comes with 8GB RAM and 128GB ROM. All three versions will not have a slot for memory expansion.

On the back there 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, Mi 8 has one of the best final DxOMark results for photo and video shooting - 99 points. The Korean Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus scored the same number.

The phone uses AI to detect scenes and apply the best settings, as well as for 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’s 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 frameless 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-violet gradient that changes color depending on lighting conditions.

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

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

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

The 24MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture allows you to apply various lighting effects to your photos. It also supports AI-based 3D facial 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've come to expect from a Huawei flagship device. It is equipped with a fast and powerful eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 chipset with a neural network module, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of flash memory, as well as a Mali-G72 MP12 video processor, which copes well with most tasks.

The new product from Huawei supports both a fingerprint sensor and face unlock function.

Pros:

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

Cons:

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

Honor 10

Price - 29,990 in the maximum configuration.

This is one of three inexpensive models in the top 10 flagship smartphones of 2018. The rating, unfortunately, doesn't capture the beauty of the Honor 10's shimmering back panel. The Phantom Blue version shimmers in different shades of blue and purple from different angles, while the Phantom Green was made to showcase blue and green hues reminiscent of the Northern Lights . If bright colors aren't your thing, there are Midnight Black and Glacier Gray options.

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

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

Pros:

• Dazzling design.
• The Kirin 970 processor guarantees top performance.
• Excellent characteristics for its price.
• The camera AI really improves the photos.

Cons:

• Slippery back cover.
• There is no OIS for the main camera.
• Battery 3400 mAh.
• There is no possibility to expand the memory.

Price: 51,990 rubles for the version with 128 GB of memory.

The new flagship of the South Korean company is a combination of the best features of the V30 and G6, plus a little from iPhone X. It features a tall and narrow 6.1-inch 19.5:9 screen with thin bezels and a notch that houses the earpiece, front camera, proximity sensor and ambient light sensor.

The LG G7 ThinQ comes with the most powerful specifications available for the best flagship smartphones of 2018. It is equipped with a Snapdragon 845 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory or 6/128 GB respectively.

LG phones have always been distinguished by high-quality sound and the G7 ThinQ is no exception to this rule. It boasts 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC support and DTS:X 3D Surround Sound technology. For now, this is more of a feature for the future, since the content you watch or listen to needs DTS:X support, which is not yet available.

The new product from LG now has an 8-megapixel front camera that takes selfies with good color reproduction and natural skin tones. The phone also has a portrait mode.

The main camera consists of two 16/16 MP modules. The main sensor has an f/1.6 aperture, compared to f/1.9 for the second, wide-angle sensor, as well as optical stabilization. The camera's AI can analyze the scene and the objects within it and automatically provide filters that will make the photo look better.

Pros:

• The screen brightness can be increased to 1000 nits, which is useful when reading text in direct sunlight.
• 3.5 mm headphone jack.
• Expandable memory storage.

Cons:

• The battery capacity is only 3000 mAh. With it, the phone will work from morning to evening, but will need recharging at night.

It costs 27,980 rubles for the 128 GB version.

In April 2018, Meizu announced its new smartphone, Meizu 15. This release is dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the manufacturer. The white version of the device has a luxurious ceramic lid. Other versions are content with polished aluminum.

The smartphone is equipped with a 5.46-inch display with a resolution of 1920x1080. This means it retains the 16:9 aspect ratio, but has minimal bezels, and the screen takes up 79.8% of the body.

The fingerprint sensor is not the only way to unlock the Meizu 15. The company also added face unlocking, although it does not work as fast as the 10th version of the iPhone.

Inside the device there are: a 3000 mAh battery, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, 4 GB of RAM and from 64 to 128 GB of internal storage without expandability.

Meizu 15 is equipped with one of the best rear cameras in its price category. The primary 12-megapixel sensor has an f/1.8 aperture, while the secondary sensor is a 20-megapixel black-and-white sensor with an f/2.6 aperture. The camera has four-axis optical image stabilization, laser autofocus, 3x hybrid zoom, and a dual-color flash with six LEDs.

There are few reviews about the smartphone yet. One of the obvious disadvantages is the lack of NFC. One of the advantages is the presence of a headphone jack.

Can be purchased for 35,990 rubles.

Soon in Russian stores A version of the 6.2-inch ASUS flagship will arrive with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory. For now, users will have to be content with the 6/64 GB option, respectively.

• No wireless charging.

Nokia 8

The battery capacity is quite sufficient for a small screen and a not too power-hungry processor - 3090 mAh. In addition, Nokia carried out good job on energy consumption optimization.

Like most other flagships, Nokia 8 has a dual 13/13 MP main camera. Both the rear and front (also 13 MP) cameras are licensed by Carl Zeiss. This means that after taking a photo, the user will be pleasantly surprised by the result.

• There is a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
• Clean and modern Android interface.

Cons:

• Poor set of camera settings. For example, you cannot adjust the exposure.

It will be equipped with a 5.7-inch display, the latest Snapdragon 845 processor and a triple camera - 41 MP + 20 MP with an RGB sensor + 9.7 MP monochrome sensor, which allows you to sharpen the image.

Every year the phrase “flagship smartphone” or “flagship smartphone” is becoming more and more popular. Some users don't know what it means, so today we'll reveal the secret.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing to disclose here - flagships are called the top-end (read: the best and most powerful) smartphones of the company. For example, at the time of writing, Samsung’s top-end smartphones include the Galaxy S10 (S10+) and Galaxy Note 10+. They are installed best screens, the best hardware, best cameras, there is protection from water and dust, support for fast and wireless charging, and the Galaxy Note 10+ even has a stylus! In general, everything is the very best, which is why these two smartphones are called flagship devices. Both at once, some users will ask? Yes, after all, in essence, even though different devices, but both are flagship.

Samsung Galaxy S10:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+:

Almost every company has flagships, although Apple company until recently was the exception. After all, according to essence of Apple released only one iPhone model, which was the company’s flagship/only smartphone. Then the 5c model saw the light, and after some time - the SE. At the time of writing, there are three main models in the line: 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max(the last two differ in screen diagonal, dimensions and battery capacity).

And one of Huawei’s flagships is the Mate 30 Pro:

Flagship devices typically change generations once a year, while smartphones can change completely or only partially.

In the model range of any manufacturer, a special place belongs to flagships - devices that combine all the best that a particular company can offer. We have made for you a selection of top flagships for the beginning of 2018, which will feature the coolest and most uncompromising smartphones on the market.

New flagships of 2018

Samsung – Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus

Few releases have made as much noise lately as the Galaxy S8 from the Koreans at Samsung. Everyone was waiting for this flagship, because the public understood that the company would need to present something non-standard and 100% successful in order to rehabilitate itself for the failure with Note 7. And the expectations were justified.

The S8 was released in two versions - standard and Plus; they differ in screen diagonal: 5.8 and 6.2 inches, respectively, as well as battery capacity. And it is the screen that is the main trump card of the smartphone; the “infinite” SuperAMOLED display with Quad HD+ resolution occupies almost the entire front part of the S8, and it looks very cool.

Other characteristics do not let you down: on board the S8 there is a top-end Exynos 8895 processor, 64/4 GB of memory with support for cards up to 256 GB, a 12/8 (f/1.7) MP camera and a 3000/3500 mAh battery (depending on modifications). In terms of its totality of qualities, the S8 is superior to any other flagship on the market - this smartphone is truly the best that you can buy now.

Samsung - Galaxy S8

LG G6

The LG G6 is made in the same concept as the S8; in appearance, these smartphones are even a little similar. LG's flagship was presented earlier; it was the first device on the market with an 18:9 display ratio.
