Top 5 compact smartphones

The past 2016 is notable for the release of several remakes. Following the Samsung company, which presented the updates of the A and J model lines, and Apple, which breathed new life into the iPhone 5S, the well-known Chinese manufacturer decided to attract the attention of buyers with another reincarnation of Y3 and Y5 smartphones. But if the previous attempt by Huawei with the release of the extremely lightweight version of the Y3c (Y336) did not arouse much interest from the public, then the outlook for the Y3 II is more optimistic.

The developers have increased the amount of RAM to the smartphone and replaced the battery with a more modern lithium-polymer, at the same time slightly increasing its capacity. In addition, the Y3 II acquired proximity and illumination sensors, as well as a customizable physical Easy Key button that allows you to call up three applications even from under the lock screen.

Another feature of the gadget is a multifunctional programmable indicator. It not only informs the owner informatively about the events that have taken place, but also allows you to set different colors on important contacts or groups, add color music to your audition, or simply change the color to suit your mood.

Please note that the modification with the LTE module is built on a more productive platform, but it is not yet on sale.

First of all, this smartphone is remarkable for its bright Super AMOLED screen, which is characterized by excellent readability even in direct sunlight and excellent viewing angles. For the budget segment, such a package is still atypical, and given the characteristics of inexpensive IPS matrices that other manufacturers equip their models from the category in question, the offer is more than smart. In fairness, we note that “underscore” the budget of the J line, Samsung decided in an ambiguous way. These smartphones do not have a light sensor, so they have to manually adjust the screen brightness. In addition, the additional color profiles are over-saturated, which not everyone will like. The second characteristic feature of the updated Galaxy J1 is decent autonomy. As for the performance of the filling, it is quite enough for the Internet and watching videos, but not for demanding games.

Kohl, we are talking about the best compact smartphones, it would be strange to ignore the model range, whose name so clearly indicates the category under consideration. In the understanding of SONY, such a device should have a diagonal of 4.6 inches and this is already a kind of proprietary company standard. In addition, according to its experts, HD-resolution for screens of this size is quite enough. You can disagree with him, but the autonomy of the smartphone from this combination exactly wins. The Xperia XZ1 Compact has no direct competitors, since none of the “compacts” of comparable size and smaller dimensions can boast such a powerful filling. In fact, this smartphone differs from the current flagship SONY only by the screen, front camera and body material. Well, the LTE category, in addition, but its gigabit potential will now be able to be realized only by subscribers of one operator. And so - only within the Garden Ring. By the way, if the “power” in the basis of the requirements is not worth it, it makes sense to look at the previous generation of the line (Xperia X Compact), which is still widely represented in the retail network.
