The computer has long been a reliable human companion. With its help, an ordinary person can access a huge database of information and media files, simplify work, and professionals, scientists can quickly and efficiently carry out calculations and modeling. Ten years ago, compact computers - smartphones - came to the masses. By the end of 2017, they appeared in almost every pocket. And it just so happened that the average lifespan of a modern phone is a year and a half, after which the once ideal device is sent to a distant box.
But many people do not intend to change devices as often. In addition, the performance of smartphones is enough for a couple of years. The only problem is the quality of the devices - after a few months of use, many models begin to "crumble": the screen turns yellow, the battery capacity is lost, the case is scratched. But there are also real centenarians who will delight the user for several years.
In this review, you will find, in our opinion, some of the best phones in terms of quality and reliability. For us, such indicators of a mobile phone (smartphone) are important as:
- Affordable price. The phone shouldn't be too expensive, because a high price is not always an indicator of quality. And the fact that the device should be affordable is extremely important.
- The lack of a large number of negative reviews on the reliability of work, warranty claims, poor assembly.
- Specifications. The rating includes phones that can compete in their technical characteristics with other models in a similar price segment.

3 Nokia 5.1 16GB
Durable body and screen

Rating (2019): 4.6
A neat candy bar from the legendary Nokia, which is famous for its high-quality and reliable phones. This is an inexpensive model with a protective screen from scratches and the presence of NFC - a module for contactless payment. A simple processor from Mediatek is installed inside, 2 GB of RAM and 16 permanent ones. There are no serious complaints about this Nokia in the reviews - everyone is happy with the high-quality assembly, the inexpensive price, and its trouble-free operation.
Some of the users note that under significant load, the case heats up noticeably - this is a consequence of using the Mediatek chip. Otherwise, it is a cheap unit for daily use. The technical characteristics were chosen with care for the user, so the phone turned out to be very ergonomic. And the manufacturer achieved compactness with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and the absence of "bangs" with an aspect ratio of 18 to 9.

Rating (2019): 4.8
The second place in the rating is given to such a popular manufacturer from Korea. An excellent choice for those who are ready to spend from 6,000 to 7,000 rubles on a phone. Samsung is already 100% build quality. The 4.5-inch diagonal is for those who don't like a huge phone. Beautiful design. Remarkable battery capacity of 2050 mAh. for a not very large display, it will give more time to use without recharging, according to reviews, the battery holds more than two days.
Amoled screen is unconditional picture quality and energy saving. Very fast internet with 4G LTE support. This is facilitated by the technical stuffing of the device: the total memory of 8 and 1 GB - operational, a quad-core processor with an outdated, but stably working version of Android 5.1 makes the smartphone trouble-free. A high-quality 5 MP camera, a 2 MP front camera and the possibility of video filming provide a full opportunity for communication in social networks and in life. It's hard to find anything more decent for this budget price. According to consumer reviews, it is one of the best models for 2016.

1 Xiaomi Redmi 5 3 / 32GB
Work without freezing
Country: China
Average price: 10439 rub.
Rating (2019): 5.0
An inexpensive, but high-quality smartphone with thin frames and a simple uncomplicated design. The model comes on Android 8, decorated with MIUI shell. The software pleases with the absence of freezes, lags and brakes. The Snapdragon 450 processor is powerful enough for daily and light gaming tasks, while still offering modest battery consumption. Therefore, in combination with a 3.3 Ah battery and an economical HD + screen resolution, the battery life can exceed three days.
The model is already over a year old, and during this time of testing it proved to be one of the best quality phones in the budget under 10,000 rubles. The case is made of plastic and metal and is robust enough to withstand everyday drops. The screen is not covered with anti-scratch coating, so it is better to stick a protective glass on it for safety.
The highest quality phones: budget up to 20,000 rubles
3 Apple iPhone 6S 32GB
Reliable operation of the operating system
Country: USA
Average price: 21,900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
This is the most budgetary smartphone on iOS, which has not lost its relevance in 2019. The model is definitely not suitable for gamers and those who are picky about hardware, but it will appeal to those who use a smartphone for such daily tasks: surfing the net, making calls, chatting in instant messengers, light gaming, watching videos.
The model boasts a smooth interface, perfectly optimized software, no freezes and lags. It is also compact. This is the best smartphone for users who are not ready to put up with the fashion for elongated 6-inch shovels. NFC is in place, the matrix is gorgeous, the body is durable - made of aluminum, a fingerprint scanner is present. A serious drawback that cannot be leveled is the short battery life. In the best scenario, the battery produces daylight hours. We recommend buying a power bank right away with your iPhone.

Average price: 14,990 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
A budget smartphone of Japanese quality. The novelty runs on stable Android 8.0. Inside there is an equally stable processor from Mediatek Helio P22. This is an eight-core system, which, in conjunction with 3 GB of RAM, shows praiseworthy performance results.
The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so you don't have to worry about the reliability of the display coverage. Autonomy will delight those users who are used to finding fault with Sony for their small batteries in reviews. A 3300 mAh battery is also installed here, which should be enough for two days with moderate use of the gadget. We found this one of the highest quality phones and other advantages - for example, a USB Type-C port, fast charging function and NFC.

Reliable novelty from Huawei, a company that places great emphasis on the quality of its smartphones. The model runs on Android 9 and a proprietary shell from the manufacturer. Huawei's shell works perfectly - it is reliable, does not slow down, does not freeze. In the reviews, users describe rare bugs of the latest version of Android, and this is normal, since the version is new. Updates arrive regularly - the software is on the way to perfection.
The smartphone is ideal for those who do not like mono-brows and thick bezels above the screen. Here, the front camera is hidden in a miniature blob. There is NFC and a dual camera of 13 + 2 megapixels. RAM 3 GB, flash - 32. Huawei put inside a proprietary processor Kirin 710, which is designed to perform the average tasks of users.

One of the most popular smartphones from Apple, which cannot be called inexpensive. At one time, the "eight" in performance tests took the first places, and in 2019 it is just an excellent powerful gadget with a quick response and trouble-free operation.
In the reviews, some users admit that after several falls, including the screen down, the iPhone still works fine, and not a single crack has appeared on the case and display. iOS, the operating system for Apple phones, is renowned for its security and reliability. Also, the manufacturer always supports its information product, regularly releases updates with performance improvements. The smartphone is protected from viruses that often infect Android devices. Optimization of work at height - despite the fact that the installed processor is not the most powerful, it demonstrates top-end performance and can handle even heavy games and programs. iPhone 8 is one of the most reliable and secure phones around.

Rating (2019): 4.7
This is the creation of a company that produces flagships that are close to the ideal twice a year. 6T is no exception - it has not only powerful and balanced hardware, but also a well-thought-out shell. In reviews, experienced users pay attention to a reliable case and durable on-screen glass.
The uninterrupted operation of the software deserves attention - bugs and "brakes" are so rare that in terms of stability and performance, OnePlus products are compared with the famous iPhones. All this thanks to a powerful processor, a harmoniously selected working bundle, frequent updates of the Oxygen OS shell software and prompt resolution of all emerging problems. A nice bonus for geeks - the shell, after performing certain actions, gives you access to the widest settings. This is one of the highest quality and most reliable phones.

Dust and moisture protection according to IP68 standard
Country: South Korea
Average price: 50,900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0
A relatively inexpensive modification of the flagship of 2019 from Samsung. The model has an almost limitless screen - bezels are barely visible, a dual camera, a metal and glass body and protection from dust and water in accordance with the IP68 standard. This means that you can walk with your smartphone in the shower and swim with it in the pool - it will endure everything.
Despite the fact that the new product only recently appeared on sale, users have already written their first impressions of use in the reviews. Someone complains about light glitches of the software, but this is the fault of the new Android 9. Otherwise, sheer delight and an emphasis on its quality and reliability. Information for left-handers - the fingerprint scanner is located on the right side and is designed for the user to hold the device in his right hand.
Highest quality premium smartphones
Which phone will stay relevant the most time? Top-end devices, of course. Their filling allows you not to remember about slowdowns for at least 2 years, and a comfortable speed will be provided even longer. In this category, we tried to select the highest quality premium smartphones for you, so that the reason for changing it was the user's own desire, and not technical problems.
3 Samsung Galaxy S8
Most Verified Premium Smartphone
Country: South Korea
Average price: 34,900 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
The third place in the ranking of the highest quality premium smartphones is occupied by the Galaxy S8. The model was introduced in early 2017. During our time on the counter, all possible shortcomings were revealed, the firmware was updated several times, and now we have a very high-quality phone with a minimum percentage of defects and high reliability. And yes, rest assured - Samsung batteries don't explode anymore!
In terms of stuffing, we have a typical flagship of 2017. Inside, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 is installed paired with 4 GB of RAM - the figures are not record-breaking, but for the vast majority of users this bundle will be enough for several years of trouble-free operation. In addition to the filling, attention is drawn to a chic 5.8-inch bezel-less display. The diagonal is large, but due to the minimal horizontal and completely absent vertical frames (the display extends to the side edges), the dimensions of the device remained relatively compact. The Galaxy S8 is also worth praising for one of the best cameras on the market, dust and moisture protection, and fast wireless charging. The only complaint about the phone is that the fingerprint scanner is not well located, which is why many users turn it off.
2 Apple iPhone Xs Max 256GB
The most sophisticated software
Country: USA
Average price: 87 490 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Smartphone on the latest iOS 12, packed with innovative technologies and software goodies for convenience. The model pleases with a huge 6.5-inch display and its high resolution - 2688x1242. In the reviews, it is difficult for users to find the objective flaws of the model - this is one of the highest quality, reliable and powerful smartphones in 2019.
The main caveat is that not all developers have adapted their applications for the increased screen resolution. This is a matter of time, and this fact does not affect the functionality, but only the aesthetics - the program interface has become a little larger. The battery can withstand a full day - that's really a lot for iPhones. The operating system is as convenient as possible: swipes speed up the process and increase the convenience of one-handed operation, presentation modes in the photo album allow you to create photo masterpieces and decently designed collections in a couple of clicks. Simple NFC payments, wireless charging support and amazing speed are all included in the Xs Max price.
1 Apple iPhone 8 Plus 256GB
Largest on-board storage (256GB)
Country: USA (made in China)
Average price: 59 689 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
The iPhone 8, presented in the fall of 2017, opens the rating. The smartphone received a large number of innovations, among which the most noticeable was the change in the body material - from now on it is glass. But do not think that the smartphone has become more fragile. On the contrary, judging by the multitude of "crash tests", the resistance to drops and scratches has increased significantly. When dropped from a height of human growth, the smartphone can get off with only a couple of scratches on the metal frame. This solution also allowed the installation of a wireless charging module.
The filling has also changed. The once brand new Apple A11 Bionic is installed inside, the performance of which is not even worth talking about - enough for years to come. The communication modules are the freshest - Bluetooth 5.0, which supports connection with several devices at once, LTE-A and other delights of the modern world. The dust and moisture protection, first introduced in the iPhone 7, remains in place - you don't have to worry even while swimming with your smartphone. As for the rest, we have before us the already familiar "seven", all the problems of which have long been studied and fixed.
The most reliable smartphones, time-tested
3 ASUS Zenfone Max Pro (M2) ZB631KL 4 / 64GB
Best price
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 16 910 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
A beautiful, fast and harmonious smartphone. Inexpensive and therefore extremely interesting. The model did not gain much popularity, and this is strange: the software is optimized, there are no bugs, the filling is gorgeous, the photo skills are not bad, the screen is excellent, the autonomy is at a sufficient level (5000 mAh battery). NFC and other wireless interfaces in place. The manufacturer does not forget about his brainchild - it regularly updates the software.
The case is sturdy, but it does not know how to resist scratches - without a cover, you will quickly "renew" the delicate coating of the back panel. The peculiarity of the model is that it is on pure Android. This means that in the menu you will not find foreign programs, and in the settings - atypical sliders and checkboxes. For lovers of minimalism and those who are looking for something of high quality and reliable for reasonable money, this is the best option. Only the micro-USB port and the tendency of the case to scratches will have to be reconciled.
2 Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB
The best ratio of price and quality
Country: South Korea
Average price: 44,300 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
An excellent flagship of 2018, which, after more than a year of operation, has not revealed its hidden flaws. One of the most optimized, it shows top results in synthetic tests and is not prone to "brakes" and bugs. Reviews are full of praise for the gorgeous screen, speed, photo capabilities, sound, water resistance.
There are a small number of owners who complain about the loss of connection. A pattern came to light - all users used both SIM-cards with the checkbox turned on opposite the line “Dual SIM in active mode”. The problem manifested itself on a few models, therefore, even taking into account this significant drawback, the phone deserves the title of one of the highest quality ones. One more thing - don't expect amazing battery life from the S9. The battery is the weak point of the model. With moderately active use, the battery will last a day, and if you do not let go of the gadget, make sure that there is a charged power bank or outlet nearby.

Time-tested reliability

Rating (2019): 4.8
A smartphone that users from all over the world are very fond of. The reason for universal adoration lies not only in the inexpensive price with powerful characteristics, but also in the detailed study of the software, and work without glitches and slowdowns. The model runs on Android 7.1, which is improved by the proprietary shell from 1+. The phone looks great even by the standards of 2019 - thin bezels, no monobrows, a large 6-inch diagonal, dual main camera and stylish colors. A 3.5 mm minijack is present.
In the reviews, 5T owners reveal their cards: for a long time of operation, they did not reveal any problems with the software. The device does not lag, does not slow down. The only thing they complain about is the slippery body and the lack of moisture protection. But there is a wonderful AMOLED display, good autonomy and a rich bundle - the box contains a case, a power adapter with fast charging support, and a factory film on the screen. This is the best of the highest quality phones that have been tested by time and are still relevant today.

When choosing a smartphone brand, be sure to pay attention to the following points:
- Price-quality ratio. Prices for smartphones from leading manufacturers are unreasonably high. Of course, if you buy a flagship, and the price does not matter to you, an expensive brand will emphasize your status, and the smartphone itself will allow you to enjoy the most modern achievements in the field of electronics. But, it hardly makes sense to buy budget smartphones or mid-priced smartphones from leading companies, since for the same money you can buy a product at a better level from a less "promoted" company.
- Brand awareness. If you want to save money, it is also not worth purchasing a device from little-known third / fourth tier companies. Otherwise, there is a risk of facing endless software bugs, poor builds and other problems. Firms that have been heard and have been on the market for more than one year are trying to monitor the level of their products.
- Country. Recently, it is not so much the quality that determines the cost of the device. If you are interested in inexpensive and high-quality smartphones, you should choose among Chinese manufacturers, but only well-known ones. But the palm among the expensive flagships from the United States and Korea.
- Official presence in the Russian market. To avoid problems with technical support, "curve" Russification, compatibility with Russian LTE networks, it is better to give preference to brands that officially supply their products to the Russian market.
- Opinions of other users. Good online reviews are the first indicator that a firm can be trusted.
Below we have compiled a list of the top 10 smartphone manufacturers in 2019. The rating was compiled on the basis of indicators such as hardware power, quality of components, value for money and user reviews on the network.
Rating of the best smartphone brands 2019
10. Meizu
- Good filling
- Country: China
- Rating (2019): 4.6
A relatively young Chinese manufacturer that has become one of the leaders in 15 years. Meizu has good processing power and low cost. Flyme OS shell is extremely simple and easy to use. Another "hobbyhorse" is reliable protection against theft, which has bypassed even its counterpart from Apple. Unfortunately, in mid-2019, the company announced its withdrawal from the Russian market. We do not recommend buying Meizu smartphones at the end of 2019 and 2020.
Advantages
- Reliability
- Availability
- Cameras and Displays
- Flyme account allows you to find your phone in case of loss / theft
Flaws
- Updates rarely come
- Sometimes users complain about the loss of communication (SIM card blade)
- MediaTek processors used in Meizu are inferior in performance to counterparts from Qualcomm
- The company left the Russian market
9. Nokia
- Former flagship
- Country: Finland
- Rating (2019): 4.2
Nokia needs no introduction, because it is the star of the "nineties" and "zero". However, over the past 8-10 years, the former flagship has gone into the background or even the third plan. True, the company has been trying to rectify the situation over the past few years. But, this attempt has not yet yielded significant results. Nokia makes stylish smartphones with decent hardware, but users complain about the software. In addition, reliability often leaves much to be desired, but the problem is solved by warranty service.
Advantages
- Stylish design
- Advanced components
- Assembly
- Displays
- Cameras
Flaws
- Raw software
- Insecurity
8.
- Naked Android and good cameras
- Country: USA
- Rating (2019): 4.0
Google makes expensive smartphones, and the price is sometimes unreasonably high. They have good, but not always top-end hardware, an advanced camera and an excellent screen. Perhaps, if not for the high price, Google's gadgets would have taken a higher place in our ranking.
Advantages
- Performance
- Naked Android

- Good quality and budget models
- Country: China
- Rating (2019): 4.4
Lenovo is one of the largest Chinese brands that acquired Motorola Mobility units in 2014. These are inexpensive phones that users love for their low cost and good quality. True, the cheapest Chinese brands Lenovo and Motorola, of course, cannot be called. In 2019, brands are practically not represented on the Russian market and it is not recommended to buy them.
Advantages
- Good state employees
- Reliability
- Assembly and accessories
- Stability of work
Flaws
- Camera on inexpensive models
- Minor flaws in stock software
6. LG
- Holds well its position in the market
- Country: South Korea
- Rating (2019): 4.5
LG is one of the most famous South Korean brands. True, smartphones are not as popular as, for example, Samsung. But, in general, the manufacturer keeps the brand. The products are not satisfactory in terms of basic criteria. At the same time, the price is far from exorbitant.
Advantages
- Design
- Stability of work
- Reliability
- Advanced components
Flaws
- Speaker sound
- Many models do not have a flash card slot
5. Sony
- The falling star of the mobile market
- Country: Japan
- Rating (2019): 4.3
This manufacturer suffered the same fate as Nokia. In general, smartphones are not bad, but their flagships are inferior to today's market leaders. Models of the middle and lower price range are much more expensive than many of their counterparts. However, Sony has a fan base and a brand worthy to enter the top 10.
Advantages
- Design
- Equipment
- Assembly
- Flagship cameras
Flaws
- High cost
- Insecurity and instability of public sector employees
4.
- Best in the low-cost smartphone segment
- Country: China
- Rating (2019): 4.7
Huawei could be placed in the same position as Meizu, but these devices are based on their own HiSilicon processors, which sometimes even surpass Qualcomm products in terms of speed. In addition, the cameras in these smartphones are some of the best in the world. True, the cost of Huawei is slightly higher than other "Chinese".
Unfortunately, in mid-2019, due to the trade war between the United States and China, sanctions were imposed on Huawei and all the usual Google services, including Google play, will be absent in new smartphone models. So the emphasis when buying should be on models released before the end of 2019. In addition, the Honor sub-brand with more budget models was not affected by the sanctions and Google services will be present on new phone models.
Advantages
- Iron power
- Affordable price
- Durability
- Camera
- Components
Flaws
- Often there is no oleophobic coating on the screen
- US sanctions and disconnection from Google services
3.

- Country: China
- Rating (2019): 4.8
In terms of the number of sales, Xiaomi is the leader in the Chinese market and is a great competitor to such giants as Apple and Samsung. The main advantage of these phones is their high performance and affordability. They have a well-proven MIUI shell, which is loved by millions of users.
Advantages
- Power
- Low price
- Excellent filling
- Components
- Stability of work
Flaws
- Sellers often offer Chinese versions under the guise of "global"
- Imposing your own applications

According to many users, Samsung Galaxy is the best smartphone in a number of indicators, such as performance, functionality, reliability, etc. Samsung produces the best screens, and in general, the equipment of flagships is the most top-notch.
Advantages
- Reliability
- Performance
- Design
- Filling
- OS optimization
Flaws
- Price
- Bugs were noticed in the last episodes
- The scandal associated with the artificial slowdown of old models
Which company to choose in 2019?
If the image component does not matter to you, and you want to get a good device at an affordable price, it makes sense to pay attention to the Chinese - Meizu, Huawei or Xiaomi. Each manufacturer's catalog has plenty to choose from.
If you are used to buying the best without sparing money, it is definitely worth buying a flagship from Samsung or an IPhone. Which one should you choose? It is unlikely that the comparison makes sense, since each option is good in its own way. Therefore, the choice depends on individual preferences in terms of design and operating system.
5 questions to ask yourself before buying
- How much are you willing to spend? The answer will immediately reduce the large list of “candidates” for purchase to a few brands.
- How often do you change your smartphone? If your phones often break, get lost or just get bored, it hardly makes sense to buy an expensive brand.
- What are you purchasing the device for? If a gadget is needed to solve simple tasks, such as surfing the Internet, communicating on social networks and instant messengers, watching video content, it does not need ultra-high performance. That is, you can make a choice in favor of the same Meizu. Gamers are better off looking at Xiaomi, Huawei or Samsung.
- To which shell or OS does the soul lie more? Fans of "naked" Android can recommend Google, as well as some Xiaomi. If ease of operation is important, Meizu is hard to find equal in this regard.
- Is there a service center for your chosen brand in your city? The speed of repair largely depends on this, in the event of a device breakdown.
Knowing which mobile phones have reliability issues can be critical when deciding which model to use. And so that you can get the longest-lived, well-built and tamper-resistant device, we have compiled a rating of the most reliable smartphones in 2019.
It is based on test data from reputable publications such as WIRED, Telegraph and Tomsguide.
10. Apple iPhone XS Max
The average price is 98,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with iOS 12
- support for two SIM-cards (nano SIM + eSIM)

- dual camera 12MP / 12MP, autofocus
- weight 208g, WxHxT 77.40 × 157.50 × 7.70mm
One of the fastest and most powerful smartphones in the world is equipped with a 6-core Apple A12 processor, manufactured using 7nm technology. It works with 2x2.5GHz Vortex cores and 4x1.6GHz Tempest cores.
The XS Max has a completely bezel-less display (excluding the monobrow at the top) with an oleophobic, scratch-resistant coating.
Probably the most impressive feature of this iPhone model is the dual camera, which can shoot in slow motion and record 4K video. For the quality of the photo, it is included in.
iPhone XS Max is IP68 certified, which means it's completely dustproof and can withstand submersion in water up to 2 meters deep for 30 minutes.
The XS is guarded by facial recognition, which Apple claims has been tested on millions of faces and proven to work. The device also has excellent security support, as Apple encouraged many hackers to try to hack the device and find vulnerabilities that were then “patched”.
pros: Great sound from stereo speakers, large screen with vivid and vivid colors, cameras excel in low light conditions.
Minuses: Fast charging requires additional accessories.
9. Galaxy S10 Plus
The average price is 124,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.4 ″
- three cameras 16MP / 12MP / 12MP, autofocus

- RAM 12GB
- battery 4100mAh
- weight 175g, WxHxT 74.10 × 157.60 × 7.80mm
One is similar to the XS in that it is more of an iteration of the previous Galaxy S9 than a brand new device.
The huge screen with Infinity-O design is great for anyone looking to watch movies or play games on their mobile phone. It has curved edges that have become standard on Samsung flagship models. You can click on them to bring up the most recently opened applications.
An ultrasonic fingerprint sensor sits underneath the 6.4-inch display of the Galaxy S10 Plus for quick device unlocking, while Wireless PowerShare lets you charge other devices wirelessly.
The Snapdragon 855 or Samsung Exynos 9820 chipset (depending on the region) delivers the best performance you can see on an Android smartphone.
The imaging software turns any photos taken by the S10 Plus into a masterpiece of mobile photography. In a word, for a lot of money you get a mobile phone that is good in everything. And it will not require replacement for at least a couple of years.
pros: IP68 waterproof housing, great cameras, excellent battery life, headphone port.
Minuses: expensive.
8. Sony Xperia XZ3
The average price is 47,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6 ″, resolution 2880 × 1440
- 19MP camera, autofocus
- 64GB memory, memory card slot

- RAM 6GB
- battery 3330mAh
- weight 193g, WxHxT 73x158x9.90mm
Perhaps the best part of this phone is the OLED screen without the monobrow. It features perfect color reproduction, high maximum brightness and supports HDR content. It also has an interesting feature called Dynamic Vibration. It is a system that makes the phone vibrate along with sounds, creating an immersive experience on the screen.
The processor in this model is last year's flagship Snapdragon 845, and while it is not as good as the Snapdragon 855, you will not notice any performance issues when launching applications or games.
The rear camera takes photos with natural tones, without overexposing at night, and has a macro mode that makes landscape shots look great. And a little about the sad thing: in macro mode, the camera cannot focus on a closely spaced small object.
A useful interface option is the ability to call up a quick application launch menu using a double tap on the rounded sides of the display.
pros: Waterproof and dustproof of the case according to IP65 / 68 standards, there is Qi wireless charging, there is fast charging.
Minuses: no face recognition, only an inconveniently located fingerprint scanner.
7. Google Pixel 3 XL
The average price is 56,790 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- screen 6.3 ″, resolution 2960 × 1440
- 12.20MP camera, autofocus
- memory 128GB, without memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 4GB
- battery 3430mAh
- weight 184g, WxHxT 76.70x158x7.90mm
It may surprise you that this device is part of the list of the safest smartphones of 2019, but it's worth considering that it is backed by the corporation behind Android.
In terms of privacy and security, the Pixel 3 XL is one of the best devices on the mobile market. Users have complete control over any type of permissions requested by various programs.
In addition to this, the company has focused on reducing the amount of data the device sends to applications. This feature is very useful as there have been many reports of malicious applications that received the appropriate permissions and therefore could track various confidential information.
In terms of specs, the Pixel 3 XL has almost nothing to surprise us with. On board is the ex-flagship Snapdragon 845 processor and 4 GB of RAM, which is quite enough for comfortable everyday work and games. The battery can be charged using fast and wireless charging - this is already the standard for expensive smartphones.
But not every smartphone can boast of such good front and rear cameras. Whether it's portraits, friendly photos taken for Instagram, or photos taken in night mode, the Pixel 3 XL makes it hard to ruin a shot.
pros: Good sound from stereo speakers, IP68 dust and water resistance, very bright OLED screen.
Minuses: no headphone jack, not too large battery.
6. Honor View 20
The average price is 34,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- 6.4 ″ screen, resolution 2310 × 1080
- dual camera 48MP, autofocus
- memory 256GB, without memory card slot

- RAM 8GB
- 4000mAh battery
- weight 180g, WxHxT 75.40 × 156.90 × 8.10mm
This smartphone has three significant advantages.
The first is an affordable price, given the excellent performance.
The second is the original design, which immediately distinguishes this smartphone from other models. Thanks to the Aurora nano-coating, light is refracted in the form of a V-shaped lens flare.
And the third is an incredible main camera, with hundreds of different built-in filters, and support for AI functions. As an auxiliary assistant to the main 48 MP sensor, a 3D ToF camera is used, which allows you to work with three-dimensional objects in real time.
The large frameless display with a neat hole for the selfie camera is very comfortable to watch videos and read texts. You can manually adjust the brightness and color temperature if necessary.
The powerful HiSilicon Kirin 980 mobile platform allows the View 20 to handle heavy-duty gaming and multiple open mobile apps without freezing or lagging. And the liquid cooling system provides efficient heat dissipation.
pros: there is a 3.5 mm audio connector, long autonomy, support for fast charging, there is a face unlock.
Minuses: The case is not protected from water and dust.
5. OnePlus 7 Pro
The average price is 51,200 rubles.
Characteristics:

- three cameras 48MP / 8MP / 16MP, autofocus
- memory 256GB, without memory card slot

- RAM 8GB
- 4000mAh battery
- weight 206g, WxHxT 75.90 × 162.60 × 8.80mm
OnePlus doesn't make many mobile phones, but each of the newly released models is becoming quite popular. The explanation is simple: the manufacturer manages to combine flagship features with a relatively low cost.
So OnePlus 7 Pro pleases with the presence of the latest Snapdragon 855 processor, a large amount of RAM, a huge AMOLED screen with a small teardrop notch and a refresh rate of 90 Hz.
The three rear cameras take the best shots we've ever seen on a OnePlus model, and the selfie camera only pops up when you need it, freeing up more screen space.
pros: Face unlock, pop-up camera doesn't look useless, great low light photos, fast charging.
Minuses: no waterproof.
4.Xiaomi Redmi Note 7
The average price is 17,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.3 ″, resolution 2340 × 1080
- dual camera 48MP / 5MP, autofocus
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 4GB
- 4000mAh battery
- weight 186g, WxHxT 75.21 × 159.21 × 8.10mm
Xiaomi is one of the leaders in the mobile market. And she has enough inexpensive and high-quality models of smartphones. However, Redmi Note 7 is especially loved by users for its almost impeccable value for money. Almost - because some cheaper models have an NFC chip. In this one, no.
However, this is perhaps all for which you can scold Redmi Note 7. After all, in other respects it is very good.
- Looking for a large screen with high contrast ratio (1460: 1) and plenty of brightness (500 cd / m2)? Please. Lovers of customization can play around with adjusting the color temperature and contrast.
- Need your smartphone to work all day and support fast charging? And this is about Redmi Note 7.
- Do you need the power of the processor and video processor to ensure that games at medium and high settings do not slow down? Made.
- Do you need the camera to take pictures that you will not be ashamed to post on a social network? The Redmi Note 7 has an excellent camera (only it shoots at 12 MP by default, not 48 MP) with artificial intelligence mode and good noise reduction. To activate shooting at 48 MP, you need to go to Pro-mode and select the desired option.
To summarize the above: Redmi Note 7 is a great budget smartphone suitable for work and play and for photography.
pros: 3.5mm audio jack, face unlock, capacious battery.
Minuses: no NFC, no waterproof, although the combo SIM / microSD slot has a rubber flap.
3. Nokia 9 PureView
The average price is 49,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 5.99 ″, resolution 2960 × 1440
- five 12MP cameras, autofocus
- memory 128GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 6GB
- battery 3320mAh
- weight 172g, WxHxT 75x155x8mm
The Nokia brand has long been a symbol of quality in the mobile phone market. However, to keep on an equal footing with the fiercely conquering the world of the Chinese, the pretentious iPhones and the handsome South Korean Samsungs, Nokia had to offer users something more than just a good smartphone.
As a result, the PureView model was born, equipped with five cameras at once on the back. It consists of three monochrome sensors and two color sensors. Thanks to all this richness, photographs have a very wide dynamic range, and a low level of noise even in low light.
An interesting feature of the main camera software is the ability to adjust the level of background blur (bokeh) both in terms of intensity and location.
However, due to the large number of cameras, the processing time for images has increased significantly, and takes about 5-10 seconds.
Apparently, for the sake of the price, Nokia put last year's Snapdragon 845 chipset into PureView, and not the current top-end Snapdragon 855. But even taking this into account, the smartphone has enough power for a couple of years at least.
The P-OLED display has good viewing angles, a huge margin of brightness (600 cd / m2) and excellent color reproduction.
pros: protection of the case according to the IP67 standard, a minimum of pre-installed applications, there is wireless and fast charging.
Minuses: no analog audio jack, sub-screen scanner is slow and not always the first time.
2.Ulefone Armor 6
The average price is 22,490 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 8.1
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.2 ″, resolution 2246 × 1080
- dual camera 16MP / 8MP, autofocus
- memory 128GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 6GB
- 5000mAh battery
- weight 267.50g, WxHxT 83x166x13.30mm
If by reliability you mean a shock-resistant and water-resistant case, then there is no better smartphone than the Ulefone Armor 6. It is IP68 waterproof and dustproof, MIL-STD-810 certified (withstands strong vibrations and even nearby explosions), and has an IP69K degree of protection - that is, withstands strong pressure and high temperature.
The Ulefone Armor 6 display is protected by bulging protectors that will absorb most of the impact when dropped. And the protective glass will even withstand the impact on the corner of the table.
And even if you are not going to expose your mobile phone to extreme tests, but want to quietly and peacefully play "Tanks" or another popular game - no problem. The MediaTek Helio P60 processor does not promise performance miracles, but it copes excellently with games at medium settings.
As befits a modern device, Ulefone Armor 6 supports contactless payments, and also has a pretty decent camera with optical stabilization. It can record 720p video at 30 fps.
In addition to a capacious (and removable!) Battery, this model is equipped with a built-in radio and, of course, a flashlight. Moreover, Ulefone Armor 6 has not only fast, but also wireless charging, which not all smartphones can boast of.
pros: powerful sound from the speakers, convenient and intuitive control with mechanical buttons, bright screen, there is a face unlock.
Minuses: there is no mini-jack, you will have to use a USB Type-C adapter (included in the kit).
1. Huawei P30 Pro
The average price is 69,990 rubles.
Characteristics:
- smartphone with Android 9.0
- support for two SIM-cards
- screen 6.47 ″, resolution 2340 × 1080
- three cameras 40MP / 20MP / 8MP, autofocus
- memory 256GB, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- RAM 8GB
- battery 4200mAh
- weight 192g, WxHxT 73.40x158x8.41mm
Before you is the most reliable smartphone of 2019, both in terms of build quality, quality of photo and video shooting, as well as battery. And its luxurious aluminum and glass design with a full bezel-less display looks luxurious and expensive.
The P30 Pro offers four rear lenses - a 40MP camera, an ultra wide-angle camera and a telephoto lens, as well as a time-of-flight sensor.
Particularly impressive is the telephoto lens, which has a 5x optical zoom for capturing images from afar. You can also use 10x and even 50x magnification (although we do not recommend going beyond 10x).
The battery life is at least one day of intensive use.
The in-display fingerprint sensor is faster than Samsung. And the performance is flawless thanks to Huawei's current flagship, the Kirin 980 processor.
Although this model is certified according to the IP68 standard, Huawei explained that the device will withstand immersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes (everything is standard here), and the difference in temperature and water should not exceed 5 degrees. But this is already non-standard, since this is not in the requirements of tests for compliance with IP68. This is likely a loophole that would allow the Chinese manufacturer to dodge claims from users who drowned their smartphones.
pros: face unlock, long-lasting battery, OLED display with plenty of brightness and good viewing angles.
Minuses: you will have to do without a 3.5 mm audio jack.
What problems most often arise with smartphones
The which.co.uk smartphone reliability survey shows that if you have a problem with your mobile phone, it is most likely battery-related. Batteries that refuse to charge (or lose power quickly) make up 18% of reported bugs in a survey of handset owners such as Apple, Samsung, Huawei and Motorola.
Unfortunately, there are many other issues that can affect the performance of a smartphone.
- About 13% of survey participants noted the problem with the phone freezing and inability to use it.
- Another 7% of those surveyed mentioned problems with specific applications such as email client, music player and web browser.
Unfortunately, even the most reliable smartphones can fail. However, exactly what they can, and not necessarily will be, like noun-name devices made "on the knee of Uncle Liao." Therefore, do not regret that you overpaid a couple of thousand rubles for a well-known and respected brand. It will come out in the end cheaper than paying for repairs or buying a new device.
A set of options and features is far from the first thing you need to know when buying a smartphone. Good photography and "quick" work are frequent requirements of buyers. But many people overlook a number of parameters, leaving out the values of which, then they remain unhappy with their gadget.
Practical display features and matrix type
The actual filling of the smartphone screen today are two main types of matrix: AMOLED and IPS. They are, as a rule, introduced into more expensive brands of gadgets, nevertheless, they remain of high quality. It is allowed that the screen resolution of the selected smartphone corresponds to the indicators of 1920 × 1080 pixels.
The nuances of the operating system and internal memory
The most popular and convenient is still the updated version of Android or iOS OS, which contributes to a quick study of the interface and a convenient location of the menu. As for the RAM, the most convenient figure is 4 GB. This will allow you to work with several programs at the same time. With such a parameter of the RAM, the phone will function “without brakes”. Built-in user memory usually starts at 32 GB. This is great if you want to get the most out of your data storage. According to experts, such phones and external removable storage are unnecessary.
Menu design depends not only on the theme, but also on the phone platform
Types of cameras and their parameters: analysis of the main and frontal
As for the imaging parameters, it is enough that the frontal one is performed at 1 mPc, and the main one at 48 mPc. At the same time, one cannot do without such useful features as bokeh effect, optical zoom, panoramic shooting and multiple photo and video modes. Timer, night shooting, horizon detection - these are the features that should be provided by default.
Usually the main camera does the photo better than the front one.
Battery power and battery life
Someone thinks that the more correctly the smartphone is optimized and tuned, the better the battery's ability to hold a charge will be. Perhaps there is a rationale in this. However, the main thing is that the battery must have a capacity of at least 3000 mAh. If the gadget is in standby mode without games, without listening to music, disconnected from the Internet, it should keep a charge for 4-7 days. With active use - at least 3 days.
You can find out about the operating parameters of the battery directly on its case.
Network and connections: internet, signal reception
The new smartphones have much better cellular reception than those released two or three years ago. At the same time, it is worthwhile to provide for the device to be able to simultaneously receive a signal from two operators without creating a conflict between networks.
How fast the Internet will be depends on the performance of the smartphone
As for the Internet, we can say that new generation phones have a lot of opportunities to use convenient traffic. This includes both Wi-Fi and mobile data connections and GPS connections. All of these profiles must be activated.
A few words about additional features
Thanks to the operating system that most Android smartphones have, it is possible to support games, video communications, and many applications for working, for example, with text documents. On the technical side, it is important to have an understanding of the following details:
- camera lens cutout. In some cases, smartphones have a very unusual design;
- the headphone jack must have a standard output so that you can connect not only the supplied accessory, but, if necessary, any other accessory to it. Otherwise, you will also have to purchase adapters for connection;
- fingerprint scanner. Quite a good function that will allow you to maximally secure confidential information stored in the phone's memory (photos, contacts, videos, electronic documents);
- the NFC system will help you go through the contactless card payment procedure in stores or when shopping on the Internet.
ON A NOTE!
Please note that the fingerprint scanner does not provide a complete guarantee of security. For example, with a wired connection to a PC or laptop.
New smartphones in 2019

At the same time, the appearance of the smartphone will not be affected.
An interesting model that is similar in appearance to the version X previously released. However, the hull will turn golden. On the technical side, its A12 Bionic processor will receive an update. At the same time, the performance of the cameras will remain the same, but the size of the user memory is supposed to be increased.
