entranceCompetitors. Samsung introduced the long-awaited premium smartphone direct competitor iPhone 6
The winner in the battle "the best cheap smartphone Apple in 2018. " The victory won iPhone 6s. But is it really worth taking a three-year-old iphone when the market is filled with interesting modern android smartphones?
You can find an iPhone 6S for 32 gigabytes (as a new one) for a nice price tag at 24 thousand rubles. But what if "change faith" and turn to the "robot" face?
We understand with the strong and weak parties of competitors.
1. Ugly duckling
Unfortunately, almost all smartphones have long been the same. The devil lies in the details. In one more pleasant materials, in another conveniently located sensor of fingerprint, the third can please with pleasant colors.
Name iPhone 6s beautiful language does not turn. "Wheelchard" bands of antennas, slippery case, miserable camera design. Save covers.
On his background, Nokia 8 is well allocated, which is recently our chief editor of Nikita Gorodinov, and an incredibly spectacular Xiaomi MI MIX with an infinite display. Next to them iPhone 6s looks a utter.
2. Display that OK
From the point of view of the quality of the display, the iPhone, undoubtedly, remains a fighter. Bright, contrast. And that's it.
You look at the shelf with competitors - each second smartphone has a large diagonal with thin frames and a chic resolution. Beauty!
With iPhones there are no such problems.
3. Memory that is enough
Most iPhone 6S opponents have from 3 and more gigabytes random access memory.
It would seem that everything is obvious, and the apple smartphone (with its 2 gigami) is noticeably losing. But then remember keyword "Optimization", and the choice of the winner at this point is no longer so obvious.
But it is impossible not to allocate Xiaomi Mi6 with 6 gigabytes RAM. Serious argument, not in favor of Apple.
4. Two characters that are all so waiting
There are rumors that the next generation of iPhones will finally get a slot under the second symart. It does not even sound funny. Most manufacturers have long have models with similar functionality.
Almost all iPhone 6s competitors can boast of support for two SIM cards. Nokia 8. Dual Sim., LG G6, Motorola Moto. Z2 Play, Samsung Galaxy A7 and, of course, the mass of Xiaomi models.
Shame on You, Apple.
With regard to the iPhone 6s, many buyers are viewed as a workhorse, its direct phone duties "so-so".
5. Waterproof, which is not declared
You can recall in which the water resistance of Apple Smartphones 2015 released. It looks convincing, but in the iPhone 6S specification, protection against splashes, water and dust is not stated.
In this regard, Android devices are again stronger than the American fighter. For example, LG G6, which became the first waterproof (according to the IP68 standard) of the company's flagship.
Are you accustomed to lying with a smartphone in the bath? An option with iPhone 6S does not look optimal.
6. The camera loses to competitors
Apple smartphones are considered to be one of the most popular cameras in the world. But, iPhone 6s today is not such a strong player in the market.
First, there are many smartphones with two cameras - one second module, in the second telephoto lens and so on. Secondly, some devices in some cases put an iPhone on both blades.
For example, a compact Xperia XZ1 Compact is equipped with a Motion Eye camera and knows how to record video fragments with frame frequency up to 960 FPS. What boasted on the presentation samsung s9. W. smartphone Sony There is also a convenient selected key for shooting.
Nokia 8 has an interesting shooting format, we told about in a separate material.
In other words, in direct comparison, the iPhone 6S camera is noticeably inferior to competitors.
7. Innovative technologies that everyone has
The iPhone 6S is installed the fingerprint scanner of the second generation Touch ID. There is a branded technology 3D Touch and Taptic Engine. Actually, all.
With this scanner today, no one will surprise anyone, but about the controversy of 3D TOUCH (as technology) is written a lot.
In Android, this chip is solved at the program level, in the form of a long click on the icon. Someone went even further. For example, the Taiwanese HTC manufacturer has added sensitive side faces of HTC Edge Sense, with which you can perform quick actions.
In general, equality. Only the technology of Taptic Engine no one could repeat normally. Pleasant vibration in the hand to which you quickly get used to.
8. Chips that may surprise. But not in iPhone
Motorola has cool mods that expand the capabilities of the smartphone. it looks interesting. New experience in using the device.
Xiaomi MI6 128GB Ceramic Special Edition Black boasts a stylish ceramics body. New tactile sensations.
Dozens of android smartphones will delight the ability to expand memory using memory cards. No problems with ending memory.
It has a QWERTY keyboard, which will have to taste some users to taste, and the DTEK system that allows you to monitor the overall level of safety of the device. For real connoisseurs.

On your site we are told not only about Apple, but also about competitors who are trying to catch up with its quality and productivity of their devices. We carefully follow the development of relations between companies.
A smart home is a sphere that has not yet succumbed to Apple. Of course, in tried to forgive the soil, releasing the homepod and even the house of the house, from which you can control the column and other gadgets, but it is still very early to talk about any weighty conquest. It would seem that for such a company as Apple, it is worth establishing the production of smart modems, light bulbs and other gadgets, which are full of the assortment of Chinese vendors? But, apparently, she simply does not want to do ababa that, and therefore, they united from Google, Amazon and Zigbee Alliance to work on the ecosystem for a smart home.
Apple continues to dominate the smart watches industry, which confirm new data from Strategy Analytics. According to analysts, the supply of smart watches in the third quarter of 2019 increased by 42% compared to the same quarter last year in the industry, and most of the devices sold.
Convenience, simplicity and safety - these are three pillars, which keep the success of products. By buying a MacBook or iPhone, we can safely count on intuitiveness and security, which for most people it turns out much more important than the external attractiveness. That is why the users of "apple" technician often does not even arise the question why it is so expensive. But sometimes even Apple turns out to be able to resist the remuneration of those who want to find vulnerabilities in its devices and take advantage of them for their own benefit.
The most rained smartphone worldwide Apple iPhone. 6 And its advanced version of Apple iPhone 6S is very expensive. The minimum price in the Russian retail for version 16 GB - 33,990 rubles. It's time to choose a replacement ..
Due to the fall of the ruble exchange rate on the US dollar, Apple sells all its products on russian market Much more expensive than in the US or, for example, in Hong Kong. So, the version of the iPhone 6 with 16 GB of the integrated memory is now 33,990 rubles, and iPhone 6S - 39 990 rubles.

Apple Fablet with 5.5-Inch Screen will cost potential buyer In 35,000 rubles for the minimum version of the memory and 65,000 rubles for the maximum. What to say is very expensive!
After talking with the users of the network, the site found out that no one is going to buy apple smartphones at expensive prices. Of the 250 people surveyed in the last days, they said 95%. Another 5% noted that the cost of apple smartphones and phabets is very high and they are unlikely to dare to buy. The most common response from the interlocutors also became: "Why should I overpay, if there are a bunch of analogs and substitutes in prices two times lower?".
And indeed, on Apple Light the Wedge did not come down! Slightly by reflection and appreciating alternative devices, we made up their rating of empty substitutes for apple corporation. Here, our recommendations ...
1. Xiaomi Mi5.
iD \u003d "SUB0"\u003eXiaomi Mi5 is one of the most stylish smartphones 2016 and 2017. The device looks awesome. No harness, no plastic - only metal and glass. This gives the user a sense of reliability.
The housing is a solid aluminum sheet. AT modern models This is a rarity, so each such model looks fresh on the background of faceless plastic "twins". Aluminum used here has polished texture. He is smooth and slippery.
In the main characteristics of the model: larger screen (5.15 inches), Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 Quantcomm 820 with a frequency of 2.3 GHz and integrated 4G LTE network support, Using Nano-SIM, MicroSD card support.
2. Huawei Honor 8
id \u003d "sub1"\u003eSerious competitor iPhone 6/7 is a smartphone Huawei Honor 8, published in sales in 2016. The device combines the design apple products. He looks great and felt in his hand. It feels flagship apparatus.
Aluminum Corps I. safety glass With the effect of 2,5d perceived very well. The device has a productive iron, a sufficient amount of RAM and makes very high-quality photos. The screen is bright, the picture on it is very live and contrast.
The pros will be attributed to the support of LTE all Russian ranges, the presence of two radio modulus for SIM cards. Time autonomous work Here is comparable to the iPhone 6S.
Discharges at Honor 8 a bit. First of all, it is a low quality video obtained from the main chamber. The second point is a relatively weak volume external speaker. I also note the tendency to appear scratches on the glass of the rear surface of the device. Here at the time to immediately buy a protective case.
The features of this model refers to the use uSB ports Type C for charging. This standard is still very rare. Therefore, you have to carry a cable with you. It is worth remembering.
3. SAMSUNG GALAXY A5 (2017)
id \u003d "sub2"\u003eIn addition to flagship smartphones Galaxy S7 Samsung has a Galaxy A lineup, which presents gadgets with an excellent price-quality ratio. On our rating of IPhone 6, two models have come at once. First - Galaxy A5 model Row 2017.
Smartphone light (159 grams), compact (146.1x71.4x7.9 mm, display diagonal - 5.2 inches), with a good chamber (16 megapixel with branded optics), productive (exynos 7880, 8 cores, 1.9 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, a microSD slot to 128 GB) with a long time of work without recharging (battery capacity of 3000 mAh), and also moisture and dustless (IP65 and IP68 standard). Among all the alternatives available, and the iPhone 6 also does not have such happiness, this is the only smartphone capable of not drown in the sea, and also many beautiful photos of Ham. It turns out that the replacement is more than full.
4. Meizu M6 Note
id \u003d "sub3"\u003ePrice: From 19,990 rubles for version 16 GB.
Samsung Galaxy A5 has become an uncommon with a pretty and neat smartphone, which the brilliance of the present metal on the sides went only to benefit. The most important thing is that the device is felt smoothly as /: reliably, monolithically, expensive and rich. Of the advantages worth noting quite high performance hardware stuffing, quite decent Camera, display, as well as unexpectedly a long time of autonomous work for such a thin case.
The lack of memory expansion (built-in memory here is 32 GB), low screen resolution is definitely disadvantages, but all the same disadvantages have Apple iPhone 6, which is bought by millions. Another thing is how will this be perceived on the market if it is samsung?
6. Huawei Nova.
id \u003d "sub5"\u003eIn this phone, as in the above, aluminum and glass are used in the manufacture of the housing, the combination of which makes appearance The devices are more stylish and expensive. Externally, Huawei Nova reminds Huawei Honor 8, although the thickness of the device increased slightly - to 7.5 mm. But the processor can please the highly shrine operation, there is an eight-year Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor with a frequency of 1.7 GHz.

All this works on the operating system from Android version 6 With its own shell of UI Emotion, thereby adding some individuality and ease of use of the device.
High-quality, 5 "Screen with a oleophobic coating, a stylish body of natural materials, the ability to use microSD cards to 64 GB and a battery for 3020mAh, make this phone a very attractive offer.
7. Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro
id \u003d "sub6"\u003eDespite the fact that Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro is a typical smartphone, it has a very interesting design. It is absolutely not similar to the standard apparatus of Asian brands. In the event, it is also worth the quality of the materials from which the device is assembled. Even the time of autonomous work here, despite all the miniature worthy.
Of the minuses, we note only the absence of LTE 800. Otherwise, the shortcomings are not so critical and are quite appropriate for the model of the average price category.
To some extent Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro, an excellent replacement of iPhones and Samsung, which is chasing our youth. In our opinion, the White version of Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro can be perfectly suitable for students and young girls. Black option is more male theme.
8. Apple iPhone 5S
id \u003d "sub7"\u003eDespite the time that has passed since the announcement, the iPhone 5S remains the best-selling Apple smartphone in Russia. We simply could not include it in our rating.

Many call this model especially steep among chinese smartphones second echelon. The device is conveniently lying in the hand, the diagonal of the display of 5 inches is not embarrassed, and it is quite real to control it with one hand.
The main and almost only bug device is glossy back coverAlthough it is also an amateur. It is easy to replace it with another branded or cover with a more chain case. But under this cover, the productive unit is hidden - Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 MSM8917 with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and Adreno 308 graphics. Embedded memory to choose from 16 or 64 GB, operational - 2 GB. Even the battery is 3000 mAh. Smartphone must be charged every two days. And as a bonus is the main camera on 13 MPIX and frontal already at 5 MPIX.
10. Xiaomi Redmi 5A

The smartphone received a bright industrial design that highlights it among others on the shelves of stores a kind of novelty. In addition, the flagship 2016 and 2017 received the most last version operating system - Android 7.1, where you tried to bring to mind most of the interfaces and functions.

Conclusion
id \u003d "sub10"\u003eAs you can see, the choice is and very rather big. To date, there is a sufficient number of highly competitive manufacturers, the number of which grows every day. Judging by the characteristics of many devices, most of them are even more powerful than new smartphones from Apple, and the execution and materials are not worse. We presented only the most interesting options, the price of which is even lower than the IPHONE 6 declared for iPhone. Note that almost all presented smartphones have enough good batteries and screens with a diagonal of at least 4.7 inches.
And what phone would you buy? Share your opinions in the comments.
The innovation appeared in the smartphone. Before that, Samsung aluminum used only in smart watch Galaxy Gear I. Gear Neo.. From smartphones, it is possible to remember that the Symbian SAMSUNG I8510 Innov8 slider, released in the Already distant 2008. The entire Galaxy line was made in plastic enclosures, including protected Active smartphones. It is for such "love" to plastics, the company is very often criticized.
Thus, everyone was waiting for a semi-phyphic smartphone of the company in which the metal will appear, will be premium.
To some extent, it came out: the company say that the device sets new standard Design all galaxy line, this is new flagship samsung. Designer smartphones in the company were repeatedly created, but usually it was variations already ordinary devices, such as the Women's La Fleur line (differed from ordinary smartphones Company only coloring and pattern) or device Black Edition - Variations in coal-black color.
According to the characteristics of the smartphone, everything is not so bad: the eight-core processor Samsung Exynos. 5 OCTA (4 + 4 kernels), 2 GB of RAM and 4.7-inch display. Such a small on modern standards display in the company was most likely decided to apply to save the housing as compact as possible. Its resolution is 1280x720 points, and it is actually lower than that of modern flagships, the resolution of which is the maximum of Full HD (1920x1080 pixels). To some extent, the lower permission can even be called a plus - the smartphone gland will have to spend less resources for drawing a picture. And the image itself with such a diagonal, although it will be worse, but slightly.
If you judge the characteristics, the weak point of the apparatus will be the battery - its container is only 1860 mAh.
For comparison: in the same Samsung Galaxy S5, this value is 2800 mAh, and it cannot be said that it demonstrate the outstanding autonomous results. So the time of work at the future flagship is questionable.
Another disadvantage is the lack of a memory card connector. The smartphone comes with 32 GB of memory, and users will be forced to accept this limited volume. Of course, few users need more memory, but still no choice is good.
The start of the sales of the smartphone is scheduled for September 12 at a price of 24,990 rubles. Obviously, compete Galaxy Alpha. It will be with iPhone 6, the presentation of which will be held on September 9.
It is curious that in size two devices will be similar: according to the available information, the new smartphone will also be equipped with a 4.7-inch display. Thus, they will compete even in the aspect of the diagonal of the display.
And in connection with this, a natural question appears: What are the prospects for a smartphone? Expert opinions differ. So, the editor-in-chief and portal DGL.RU Sergey Villanov believes that the success of Galaxy Alpha will not please. According to him,
"From a technical point of view, despite the vigorous name, it looks more like Galaxy Siii than the modern flagships. The times when the presence of a metal in the housing allowed it to sell it as "premium", too, unfortunately, remained in the past. The smartphone market is oversaturated, and people are forced to consider money, "the expert clarified. Villanov also reminded that the dates galaxy output Alpha and iPhone 6 are close, and those who need a premium apparatus, with more likelihood, will choose an apple device. Another new competitor sAMSUNG smartphone The expert calls Sony Xperia. Z1 compact, "which best characteristics And moisture resistance is cheaper. "
Mary, Representative, does not agree with him. According to her,
like other devices of the company, Galaxy Alpha will be popular because the model has all the options and characteristics of the flagship model and an innovative design.
"In addition, another important advantage of the smartphone is its value in the Russian market. The device is sold for 25 thousand rubles, which allows the buyer to get the "flagship" set of characteristics on a fairly democratic price for this segment, "added Zaicina. According to her, this will allow the model to compete not only with models from the business segment, but also with top devices of any of the A-brands.
More restrained to the appearance of the device reacted in trading network "M Video". Her representative Anton said Gazeta.Ru, which is not worth waiting for the instant success of the buyers in many respects due to the fact that now the current flagship of the company is sold, Samsung Galaxy S5. "Everything will be very dependent on the positioning of the new apparatus, as they are very intersecting at the price," the Panthelev clarified. At the same time, he added that the company was truly waiting for a smartphone that could compete with solutions from other manufacturers not only due to the technical characteristics.
"It is difficult to call the flagship in a classic understanding, rather this is a full-fledged first experience," he clarified.
In any case, it is obvious that Samsung makes a big bet on new ruler. It is she who will now have to demonstrate to users the ability of the design department of the company, which is often criticized for the lack of ideas.
