Rating of the best smartphones for girls and women in 2022

When it comes to choosing the optimal smartphone, the train of thought and the algorithm for choosing the female and male half of humanity are somewhat different. If men primarily look at such indicators, RAM, battery capacity, type of charging connector, number of cores in the processor, then for women, several other characteristics play an important role: the number of millions of pixels in the front and main cameras, the aesthetic beauty of the body and the amount of internal memory.

However, there are several models that girls and women will definitely like. They are reflected in our ranking of the best smartphones for girls and women.

The best smartphones for girls and women in 2022.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus

Without a doubt, Apple products have been the undisputed leader in the mobile technology market for over a decade. The iPhone 7 Plus, like the 6S Plus and 6 Plus versions, immediately became a global bestseller.

Indeed, the iPhone 7 Plus is not much different from the 6S Plus and 6 Plus. However, there are still some differences.

First, the iPhone 7 Plus differs from previous models with a dual-lens camera, the new A10 Fusion processor, and IP67 water resistance.

Secondly, there are two new colors of the smartphone: glossy and matte black. The gray color has been replaced by two varieties of black.

Thirdly, the aesthetic beauty of the case is no longer spoiled by the plastic streaks of antennas, because there are fewer of them. But this is noticeable only on the dark colors of the case. Silver, gold and pink colors are still complemented by these veins.

The 5.5-inch case size is no different from the 6S Plus.

There was one new, interesting chip. The home button is no longer a button per se. Now it is a round sensor that recognizes the force applied to it. And the innovative Taptic Engine vibration motor, which is built into the body, mimics the response exactly.

According to the user's feelings, when using this sensor, it feels like the back panel is pressed down, like a laptop touchpad.

In the settings, you can choose the intensity of the response. There are three such parameters.
One of the main advantages of this sensor is that now you do not have to fix a broken home button.

The following colors of the iPhone 7 Plus are on sale:

• red (Red);
• golden (Gold);
• silver (Silver);
• black (Black);
• black onyx (Black Onyx);
• rose gold (Rose Gold).

An interesting fact: the red coloring of the iPhone 7 Plus, which appeared not immediately after the official release of the smartphone, was part of a campaign to support people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Fortunately, this action has spread all over the world, and tens of thousands of people have preferred red to other interesting colors.

The camera of this smartphone deserves special attention.

As you know, it includes two lenses. One lens has a wide field of view, and the second lens photographs distant objects as if they were somewhat closer. Not the last role in this process was played by the latest optical zoom.

However, there are a few tricks from Apple here. Indeed, in the daytime, the photos are incredibly clear. At night, everything is quite the opposite: the camera takes an image on the lens of a wide-angle lens, where the aperture ratio is f / 1.8, while in a telephoto lens it is f / 2.8. Thus, a photograph is obtained, which in the software is enlarged by a factor of two using not an optical, but a digital zoom. That's why day and night photos are so different.

Of course, the photo quality of the iPhone 7 Plus is much better than the 6S Plus and 6 Plus, and even more so than the iPhone 6. However, the market is still dominated by cameras in the flagships of Samsung.

One of the advantages of this smartphone's camera is that there is no need to adjust the ISO, aperture, white balance or exposure: the lenses themselves adjust to the situation.

The lack of a headphone jack in this iPhone model was also a curiosity for users. The manufacturer implies that people are ready to buy wireless earbuds.However, for those who are not ready to spend money on smartphone accessories (and the most optimal budget wireless headphones cost from 4 thousand rubles), there are some alternatives.

• Use wired headphones - EarPods, which are in the factory box of the product. They are connected via the Lighting charging connector.
• Use the usual wired headphones - earbuds and connect them to the Lighting charging connector through the adapter that comes with the original package.

According to experts and analysts, the battery life of the device was disappointing. Despite the presence of a 4-core processor and 3 gigabytes of RAM, it is actually standard, and the iPhone 7 Plus can play video at maximum brightness with excellent quality for only 4.5 - 5 hours.

However, these are trifles. If you do not go into details and special cases, then the charge of the smartphone is enough for one academic or working day, however, it would not hurt to have a portable, external battery with you.

There are several types of built-in smartphone memory:

• 32 gigabytes;
• 128 gigabytes;
• 256 gigabytes.

Previous iPhones had models with 8, 16, 64 gigabytes, but over time they were removed.

Of course, this flagship from Apple is far from the last place in the Russian market in terms of sales among smartphones. However, like all products, it has its pros and cons.

• great design;
• camera with two lenses;
• an abundance of color solutions;
• you can always find accessories for the iPhone 7 Plus;
• round sensor with vibration motor;
• excellent color reproduction and brightness;
• optical zoom;
• the presence of image stabilization;
• powerful speakers;
• beautiful wallpapers in every IOS version;
• many applications are optimized;
• a huge selection of possible volumes of internal memory of the smartphone;
• the ability to sync with Apple Watch;
• full factory equipment;
• long service life;
• splash protection.

• back panel is scratched;
• Lighting wire is quickly wiped;
• matte black cladding is quickly erased (Black Onyx);
• standard operating time of the device;
• the quality of photography in the dark and daylight hours differs markedly;
• many are unaccustomed to the lack of a headphone jack and a headset;
• veins of antennas stand out;
• lack of fast charging, long charging;
• massive body, slipping out of the hands;
• no slot for a second nano-SIM;
• the design has not actually changed from previous versions of the iPhone;
• high price.

Average price: 50,000 rubles.

Video review of the smartphone:

Meizu MX6

This phone is a real godsend for those who do not want to spend large sums on the purchase of the world famous iPhone.

If you look closely, you can see that the design of the Meizu MX6 is actually completely copied from the flagship of Apple. They didn’t copy unless only the “Home” button. Firstly, it is not round, but in the form of a rectangle with rounded edges. Secondly, it is not a sensor with a vibration motor, but a full-fledged button.

The body of the device is light, thin and pleasant to the touch. Despite the fact that the phone has a 5.5-inch screen and is difficult to use with one hand, the Meizu MX6 fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The case is made of metal, which does not slip in the hand and is pleasant to the touch.

Of the interesting things in the design and outer shell of the smartphone, it can be noted that it has laminated glass, like the iPhone 6, plastic streaks for antennas, which, by the way, do not spoil the appearance at all.

You can also note the 2.5D glass, curved at the edges, and a fingerprint scanner under the screen. The manufacturer claims that it recognizes the owner's fingerprint in 0.2 seconds. And this is true: the scanner works properly and quickly. On the rear panel you can see curved inserts for antennas, a slightly prominent lens, the inscription of the manufacturer and a double flash.

In general, the case looks very aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. According to users, in fact, it is no different from the design of the iPhone, which is true.

In terms of dimensions, Meizu MX6 is similar to the average smartphone: 153 * 75 * 7 mm, and it weighs 153.13 grams, which is comparable to the weight of Huawei Honor 7 or ASUS Zenfone 3.

Even though the phone is very thin, the build quality is very high. However, there are some almost imperceptible drawbacks: a small space between the volume controls; Difficulties arising in working with the phone at low temperatures. The manufacturer claims that the smartphone is able to work properly even at -15 degrees Celsius, but the real difficulties come already at -5 degrees Celsius. The problem is the slowdown of the fingerprint scanner and display, the long pixel response.

Meizu MX 6 is available in several colors:

• silver (Silver);
• rose gold (Rose Gold);
• gold (Gold);
• gray (Grey).

Useful information!
When buying this smartphone, some difficulties may arise. Most people prefer, as you know, to buy flagships in online stores, referring to the fact that prices are lower there due to the lack of Russian standardization. That is, the phone is brought to the Internet trading platform directly from the manufacturing country and sold.As you know, Meizu smartphones are imported to the Russian Federation from China, and not from Europe, where they were officially released.

Meizu MX6 has two types of these smartphones: with 3 or 4 gigabytes of RAM. Girls who want to purchase the Meizu MX6 in Rose Gold will have to choose. Or take a device with 4 gigabytes of RAM, but in any three remaining colors, because in Europe there is no Rose Gold color for this smartphone yet. Or sacrifice one gigabyte of RAM and get a version with 3 gigabytes of RAM, but in pink.

In fact, the lack of one gigabyte of RAM does not affect the performance and battery life of the device at all.

The display of the smartphone is excellent: 5.5 inches and Full HD screen resolution. Brightness and color reproduction are at the highest level here, you can safely use the device in direct sunlight and at night. However, it seems to some that some colors, namely red and yellow, are somewhat oversaturated. This cannot be changed in the settings, but the disadvantage is almost not noticeable.

The Meizu MX6 has an excellent camera, ideal for taking pictures both in the daytime and at night.
The battery life of the smartphone is average, enough for one school or work day.

Notable about this device is that its software consists of Android veiled under Meizu's own skin, Flyme. The software of the device is very colorful, fully customized for the user. You can change the appearance of the Flyme shell in the "Themes" section. There are also factory wallpapers in Full HD resolution in different directions:

• nature;
• food;
• people;
• art;
• architecture;
• animals;
• flowers;
• abstractions and more.

This smartphone is perfect for girls, because there is something that the beautiful half of humanity loves so much: aesthetic beauty, a wide range of possibilities, beautiful software, an excellent camera.

Overview-comparison in the video:

Apple iPhone SE

Another Apple product in this top is the iPhone SE. This device was released in the spring of 2016 and immediately gained popularity.

The main meaning of this release lies in the name: SE = Special Edition.The meaning of this release is that the internals of the iPhone 6S were placed in the case of the iPhone 5S. It turns out that the smartphone has a camera of 12 million pixels, an Apple A9 processor, a Touch ID fingerprint scanner built into the Home button. And all this is combined with the body of the iPhone 5S, the screen in which is 4 inches.

The design of the iPhone SE is completely similar to the iPhone 5S: the back panel is made of aluminum, which pleasantly cools the hand; glass inserts on the sides, ergonomic volume buttons.

Interesting fact!

Users have observed that the Touch ID used in the SE is significantly slower than the scanner in the iPhone 6S/6S Plus. But compared to the iPhone 6, it works much faster - a paradox.

The dimensions of the smartphone are clearly not for everybody. On the one hand, the 4-inch display helps with one-handed typing, but this can be a problem for people who are used to typing on a phone keypad with other hands. Such a phone will easily fit in your pocket, unlike devices with a 5-inch display.

It is also impossible not to attribute to the positive side of the small screen the fact that such a phone does not fall out of hand. On the other hand, a small screen makes it difficult to browse the web in a browser, play applications that require a large screen resolution, and watch videos.

However, even with such controversial dimensions, the iPhone SE found its buyer.

Apple has released several colors for the iPhone SE:

• gray space (Space Gray);
• gold (Gold);
• silver (Silver);
• rose gold (Rose Gold).

There are also several options for the amount of internal memory of the device:

• 16 gigabytes;
• 32 gigabytes;
• 64 gigabytes;
• 128 gigabytes.

This smartphone is well suited to the beautiful half of humanity because there is an excellent main camera from the iPhone 6S 12 million pixels, as well as a front camera of 1.2 million pixels. The aesthetic beauty of the case is complemented by pretty colors, but the main advantage is its compactness. The smartphone can easily fit into an evening bag or pocket of jeans or a skirt.

The device's random access memory (RAM) is 2 gigabytes. Despite the fact that previous versions of the iPhone have 3-4 gigabytes of RAM, the SE works perfectly offline throughout the entire work or school day.

The display of this smartphone perfectly reproduces RGB colors, but it is a little yellowish. This drawback is not noticeable at all in the sun or in the daytime. You can also shoot video in 4K or 1080p.

The appearance of IOS has also changed a bit. Unlike other models with 4.7 - 5.5 inch screens, the application icons in the iPhone SE are better arranged, which has a good effect on the overall state of the main menu. It’s more convenient, because on such a small display you need to fit 24 application icons and a top menu showing the general status of the device.

The slot for charging (Lighting) and headphones are still unchanged. Added an NFC module that allows you to make contactless payments using Apple Pay.

This smartphone will appeal to those girls who care about the compactness of the device, long battery life and an excellent camera, as well as convenient contactless payment.

• excellent internal device, assembled in a compact case;
• excellent camera 12 million pixels;
• long battery life;
• the presence of pink, which was not in the iPhone 5S;
• a wide choice of the amount of internal memory of the device;
• the presence of an NFC module;
• data transmission LTE (4G) in priority;
• matte panel is less scratched;
• the presence of a double flash;
• lies comfortably in the hand;
• you can type text with one hand;
• improved IOS;
• operating system updates are constantly coming;
• beautiful color solutions;
• decent color reproduction for its display;
• Convenient to use in the sun or during the day.

• lack of fast charging with USB Type-C, which is important for modern gadgets in 2016-2017;
• little RAM;
• not the best quality front camera;
• the Touch ID fingerprint scanner may malfunction;
• the display size may seem very small to some;
• Not Full HD screen resolution.

Average price: 19,000 rubles.

Critical video review of the smartphone:

Meizu Pro 7

A good smartphone for a girl can be Meizu Pro 7.
This is one of the few phones in the budget price segment that really surprised me. In addition to the serviceable operating system familiar to Meizu, convenient ergonomics and corporate design, the device is distinguished by the presence of a screen on the reverse side.

In addition to the Pro 7 starter version, there is also a Pro 7 Plus version.

There is a larger screen and battery capacity (3500 milliamp hours), as well as various screen sizes. The Pro 7 has a 5.2-inch main display, while the Pro 7 Plus has a 5.7-inch display. Screen resolutions also differ: 1920×1080 (FullHD) and 2560×1400 (WQHD), respectively.

In addition, different versions of the smartphone have different processors. The Pro 7 is not the best MediaTek Helio P25 processor, which is hardly suitable for spending time in demanding mobile games. However, it keeps the battery charged for a long time.

The Meizu Pro 7 Plus has a more powerful processor, which is quite suitable for such tasks. Most likely, the difference in processors for a girl will not be very noticeable, so you should not evaluate these two phones based solely on the technical characteristics of the built-in processor.

To purchase Meizu Pro 7 is available in four colors:

• black (Black);
• red (Red);
• gold (Gold);
• gray (Gray).

The last color solution came out a little later than the official release of the device, so there are no gray colors in the factory photos.

The amount of internal memory is the same for all Pro 7 - 64 gigabytes.

Meizu Pro 7 Plus, in turn, is also available in four colors:

• glossy black (Glossy Black);
• matte black (Matte Black);
• silver (Silver);
• golden (Gold).

As you can see, neither one nor the second version of the smartphone is released in Rose Gold, unlike the same Meizu Pro 6 Plus or Meizu MX6.
However, this does not matter - red, silver and gold colors will please a beautiful lady no less than the color of rose gold!

The quality of photography is noticeably improved in the Pro 7 version compared to its predecessors in this series, the Pro 6 and Pro 6 Plus. Whether night or day, the camera is capable of excellent performance thanks to built-in image stabilization and dual cameras. The camera, with a potential of 12 million pixels, is also capable of capturing photos with quality blurred backgrounds.

Several shooting modes are available:

• blur;
• manually;
• macro;
• Slow motion;
• frame by frame;
• panorama;
• re - focus;
• QR code scanner;
• creating GIF animations.

Users were also pleased with the lack of the notorious built-in portrait mode image editor, which changes the face in the photo beyond recognition.

In terms of photo quality, the Pro 7 can compete with the iPhone 6S or iPhone 7, which is an excellent indicator.

The screen on the back of the smartphone can perform several functions:

• on it you can switch music tracks;
• time and local weather are displayed;
• Also, through special applications, you can connect the counter of steps and kilometers traveled, and the required parameter will be displayed on the display.

This feature saves battery power perfectly, because the screen is not more than five inches, but only 1.9 inches.
Girls will definitely like this innovation, because they can take photos with two main cameras and see the resulting image on an additional display. By the way, Meizu Pro 7 differs from other smartphones in that you can usually take pictures of someone or something with two cameras, but not yourself. Meizu has corrected this shortcoming.

In addition, if the representative of the beautiful half of humanity loves to listen to music, then Meizu Pro 7 is the best choice for her. The smartphone is equipped with an audio chip, thanks to which the sound reproduced by the phone is superior in quality to other smartphones on the market in the middle price segment. It remains only to buy high-quality headphones, and you can truly enjoy pleasant music.

Pro 7 was not deprived of a fingerprint scanner. It is built into the multifunction button on the front panel.

This smartphone is perfectly equipped, in a box made of matte material with a technological device. The set contains

• Meizu corporate manual;
• smartphone Meizu Pro 7;
• a special key for opening slots designed for nano - SIM, similar in appearance to Apple keys;
• charger of the European standard, which requires an adapter.

It is permissible to buy this smartphone in online stores, because Russian standardization is not necessary for Asian flagships. In addition, on online trading platforms, prices are lower and there is a flexible system of bonuses and gifts when buying for a certain amount.

This flagship from the Asian company Meizu will be an excellent choice for a modern girl. Unusual design, excellent technical characteristics, various useful photo modes, long battery life of the device make this flagship one of the best smartphones in its price segment.

• the presence of two nano - SIM slots with support for LTE;

Professional video review of the smartphone:

Apple iPhone 8

Another smartphone from Apple, which is most often chosen by girls. For the first time in a long time, this smartphone is made of glass, which is made to support wireless charging. Everyone is used to aluminum phones, but the glass looks unusual.

The smartphone is released in three colors:

• space black (similar to dark gray);
• silver;
• golden (a mixture of the former Rose Gold and Gold, the color of sparkling champagne turned out).

Girls are likely to be attracted to silver and gold colors. For the first time in a long time they look unusual and attractive. This is the first and one of the main reasons why you should choose the iPhone 8 and its modification iPhone 8 Plus.

Inside the smartphone is a new productive processor of Apple's own production. It is completely enough for any tasks that can be assigned to a smartphone at the present time. Thanks to this, the camera began to shoot much better. All thanks to the post-processing of the images.

In addition, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus camera is the best among smartphone cameras in general. Such conclusions were made during repeated tests by technical bloggers and photography professionals. Clearly, the iPhone 8 is the best device for mobile photography. Portrait mode on the 8 Plus will help you capture a lot of interesting shots with the front camera.

Another new feature of the smartphone is wireless charging. Now you don't have to worry about finding a charging outlet and just put your phone on the charging surface.

It is worth paying attention to Apple branded charging. It was released in 2018 and will be able to charge 3 devices at once: a smartphone, an Apple Watch smart watch and Airpods headphones.

The screen of the smartphone has become even better compared to the iPhone 7 generation. There is a new feature due to which the eyes do not get tired. It adjusts the brightness and white balance in the smartphone to the environment. This makes it much easier on the eyes.

As a result, we can say that the differences with the iPhone 7 are not so great, so changing the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus to 8 or 8 Plus is a rather controversial decision. But if you have an old smartphone, it is better to pay attention to this particular model.

• improved processor and camera;
• automatic brightness and white balance adjustment;
• wireless charging function;
• NFC module;
• smart phone 2018.

• high price;
• the design is actually no different from the previous two generations of devices.

Average price: 55,000 rubles.

Overview of new items - in the video:

Samsung Galaxy S8

One of the newest smartphones in this ranking. It was in this device that Samsung gathered all the latest technologies and the latest trends in the world of smart gadgets and set the direction for many other companies.

The first thing that this smartphone can enchant a girl with is the design. The screen occupies almost the entire front surface of the display. There are only two inserts on the top and bottom of the smartphone. On the top frame there is a speaker, a front camera and a light sensor, combined with an indicator of incoming notifications. The bottom bezel of the smartphone is completely blank.

The screen is made using AMOLED technology, has a diagonal of 5.8 inches (6.2 inches in the S8 + version) and a resolution of 2960 × 1440.

The screen is extremely beautiful and delightful.

First of all, this is because of the bezel-less display. The back is made of glass, at the top of the back there is a camera eye, a flash and a fingerprint scanner. Reaching it is not convenient, but it is not always necessary.

This is how the second unique feature of the smartphone appears. The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ have a face scanner and a retinal scanner. In the first case, you need to look at the screen of the smartphone and it will exit the locked state at almost the same speed as when using the fingerprint scanner.

Many are afraid that the smartphone can be unlocked with a photo (if someone wants to use this bad method). In this case, there is a retinal scanner, which works, albeit longer in time, but at the same time it will not be possible to unlock it with a photograph. In this way, you can unlock your smartphone in complete darkness (when a face scanner is not available).

The smartphone also has water protection, which can not be overlooked. The device has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and USB Type-C is used for charging, thanks to which there is support for fast charging. The battery is 3500 mAh, it lasts for 18-19 hours of active use of the smartphone. The performance is high, S8 is equipped with the most powerful Qualcom Snapdragon 835 processor. There are also versions with Exynos 8895, it is also powerful and productive. RAM 4 gigabytes, built-in 64 gigabytes.

This parameter can be expanded with a memory card up to 256 gigabytes, but it will not be possible to insert a second SIM, since the slot is hybrid, and you have to choose.

All this allows you not to worry now and for the next couple of years about performance.

One of the main pluses for a girl is a good camera, and here Samsung did not fail. The front camera has a resolution of 8 million pixels, auto focus and good aperture. This combination allows you to take good pictures indoors or in dark places.

The main camera also takes very good pictures. It has a resolution of 12 million pixels and DualPixel technology. The camera has a built-in memory, so it can take 3 pictures at once and choose the best ones from them, making up one clear and good shot.

Such an excellent combination of technical characteristics of the camera will allow the fair sex to regularly publish beautiful pictures on social networks.

The smartphone does not have standard colors designed for girls, but other unusual color schemes can attract them. Now there are 5 colors of Samsung Galaxy S8:

• Midnight Black (black);
• Arctic Silver (silver);
• Maple Gold (gold);
• Coral Blue (blue);
• Orchid Grey.

The packaging of the smartphone should also be noted. In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S8, the kit includes a charger that supports fast charging, a USB Type-C cable, a headset from the well-known company AKG, an adapter from USB Type-C to microUSB, an adapter from USB Type-C to USB.

Video review on using a smartphone:

Sony Xperia XZ1

The smartphone looks like a classic Sony device. The company does not want to abandon its design for the sake of trends.

The body of the device is made of a single metal plate.The transitions between the edge and the cover are as smooth and almost imperceptible as possible. On the front panel are stereo speakers, a front camera and a light sensor with a notification indicator. Of the buttons, there is a backlash for adjusting the volume and a long, wide power button with a built-in fingerprint. The good news for underwater photographers is the camera's shutter button, which allows you to take pictures underwater.

All these buttons are located on the right side of the device, and on the left there is a slot for a nano-SIM and a microSD memory card, in which, if desired, you can put a SIM instead of a memory card.

The smartphone is charged via a USB Type C (3.1) connector. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The screen of the smartphone is mesmerizing: 5.2 inches HDR display with Full HD resolution. The contrast and saturation of the matrix is ​​\u200b\u200bbeautiful, everything is visible in the sun and all colors are pleasing to the eye. The screen of the smartphone has many unique exclusive technologies from Sony, so you should not doubt the quality of the image. The main features are the same as the S8.

The camera has a good and clear application. The quality of pictures both on the front and on the main camera is high.

A detailed review of the smartphone - in the video clip:

Xiaomi Mi6

Mi6 is very similar to the iPhone 7 in some features. However, it differs in its cost, and for the better. It combines flagship hardware and features at a reasonable price.

The case is made of glass, which readily collects fingerprints and can easily break if dropped from the hand. But, thanks to the rounded edges, it does not slip out and is more than comfortable to hold.

Like many now, the smartphone is IP65 protected, but the manufacturer does not recommend experimenting with water. But the smartphone will still withstand splashes, rain and falling into water. Xiaomi refused the audio jack and suggests using USB Type-C. But with the development of wireless headphones, this is no longer a problem.

The FullHD IPS 5.15 display is durable and rounded at the edges. With color reproduction and brightness, everything is in order. The frames are smaller than in older Xiaomi smartphones.

The processor is the best, Snapdragon 835, and it’s not worth talking about performance, Qualcomm’s flagship copes with all games and applications perfectly. 6 gigabytes of RAM are well combined with this processor, this amount of memory does not slow down the smartphone.

The camera of the smartphone is good, and photos from both the main and front cameras are of high quality and clear. The front camera has a resolution of 8 million pixels and can record video in 1080p resolution. The main camera has a resolution of 12 million pixels (Sony IMX386, f/1.8, 4K recording), and there is also an f/2.6 telephoto lens.There is support for HDR, which makes images more detailed and vibrant.

The smartphone is available in several colors:

• the black;
• blue-gold;
• silver;
• crystal white;
• ceramic.

• good camera;
• ergonomic body;
• decent value for money;
• excellent color reproduction;
• moisture protection.

• not the longest battery life;

HTC U11

For a long time, HTC has not released something interesting. The latest smartphones were very strange, so the public did not take them very kindly. Therefore, the company decided to rethink the look of its smartphones. The glass case looks nice, but it needs to be cleaned all the time. Whether the beauty of the constant need to wipe the smartphone is worth it is the decision of the buyer.

U11 managed not to take on the main trend of this year - a display without frames. The smartphone has thick bezels, which makes it inconvenient to use the device with one hand. The 5.5-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2560×1440 looks very chic and rich. The maximum brightness is low, but even in the sun everything is clearly visible. The white balance is well calibrated. Night mode helps your eyes not get tired in the dark. The display is covered with protective glass Gorilla Glass 5. It is worth noting that the U11 is protected according to the IP67 standard and can withstand immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

The battery is a moot point, it is 3000 mAh, which is very small relative to the demanding 2K IPS display. By the evening, the smartphone must be put on charge.If a girl actively uses a smartphone, then during the day she will have to charge it with a portable battery.

The power of the U11 is inferior to many, it has an eight-core Snapdragon 835 with an Adreno 540 video accelerator. Here is the most powerful processor from Snapdragon, there is nothing to complain about. The RAM of the device depends on the model: 4 gigabytes of RAM with U11 for 64 gigabytes of memory and 6 gigabytes of RAM for the model with 128 gigabytes of internal memory.

HTC did an excellent job with the camera, at the moment it is the best camera in smartphones in this price segment. A 12 million pixel UltraPixel 3 sensor is installed with a pixel size of 1.4 microns, optics with an aperture of f / 1.7.

There is optical stabilization. Everything is focused with UltraSpeed ​​Autofocus technology, so the U11 focuses instantly. The camera remains good even at night. Definitely one of the best cameras in HTC smartphones. Video is recorded in resolutions up to 4K, and the main feature of video recording is acoustic focus.

The sound in the new flagship is excellent, two speakers on top and bottom. A smartphone can easily replace a small speaker.

It is worth paying attention to the lack of a 3.5 mm audio jack. But there is a good reason for this. These are the USonic tuning system and active noise reduction. A nice bonus are the extraneous sound isolation headphones from AKG that come with the kit.

An unusual feature of the U11 is the pressure recognition technology. But, unlike the 3D Touch technology in the iPhone, the sensors are built into the side edges. With pressure, you can turn on the camera, open the application, or use the ProntScreen function. HTC has done something new and interesting.

Thus, this smartphone combines excellent performance, good sound and the best camera, as well as not everyone needs Edge Sense technology and a small battery. There are both good and controversial points, but U11 will definitely appeal to girls and women.
