Top 10 Huawei smartphones

Our ranking continues to be the best of the coolest. Honor traditionally represents a somewhat simplified version of the older models from the Huawei P line. At the same time, according to certain parameters, the “simple” P20 he manages to even exceed. From our point of view, the weak link of the Honor 10 is a fingerprint scanner, combined with a hardware navigation unit. The developers of the model preferred the ultrasonic design of the sensor, and almost all known implementations of this type of fingerprints have never demonstrated high recognition accuracy. In addition, the gestural navigation method itself is really convenient, but its performance in Honor 10 is too far from perfect. Finally, the node under discussion is not marked with relief borders, therefore, it will have to get used to finding it by touch.A few words in defense: on wet and dirty fingers, the scanner works without problems. In theory, microdamage to the skin should also not mislead it.

According to most experts, the photo capabilities of Honor View 10 (also known as V10) slightly exceed the similar talents of the “simple” dozens, which became for us the main argument of precisely such positioning of these models by categories. From older “relatives”, the recommended device got an intelligent processing system, which theoretically allows to receive equivalent photos regardless of shooting conditions. Of course, you can’t call her work without error, but she makes fewer mistakes with each update of the firmware. In a technical sense, the main camera is Huawei's favorite combination of RGB and monochrome sensors, which provides high detail and photosensitivity at the same time. Among the other advantages of such a solution are a wide dynamic range and a native mode of artistic shooting. And the camera Honor V10 can shoot in HDR and write in RAW. We consider the controversial design of its back side to be the most significant drawback of the device.

It is normal practice to promote the same model in different markets, only under different names, but in terms of the number of such regional variants, the Nova 2i outdid all its competitors. In fact, the Huawei G10, Maimang 6, Mate 10 Lite, Honor 7X is one and the same smartphone with minimal differences in design. That's right, there must be a lot of good goods.

What is a good phone? Firstly, a large, excellent screen with thin frames and an 18: 9 aspect ratio. Even for him there is a mode of hypersensitivity, which allows not to remove the gloves. Secondly, non-fictional, but quite productive platform and solid amounts of memory. Thirdly, immediately by two tandem photo modules. So say, bokeh in any direction. By the way, selfie using the front camera turns out very interesting. The rear at night takes off so-so, but with normal (even artificial) lighting - gorgeous. Well, Slow Motion in this price category is still exotic. Finally, the smartphone does not just have an index "i". Nevertheless, some intellectual abilities of Mate 10 were passed on to him.

Huawei is not in a hurry to develop a new single-chip system of the middle class, and the corresponding model range of the manufacturer’s smartphones is more than extensive. In this case, to call them the same type simply does not turn the language, so far as the combination of possibilities of each device is unique. In the case of the P20 Lite, we have the most complete and modern set of wireless interfaces: high-speed Wi-Fi, full-featured NFC, “blue tooth” with aptX HD codec, work on all current 4G bands - complemented by a spectacular design of the device and support for major trends. The latter include the presence of "bangs" a la iPhone and an elongated screen. Actually, a chic fashionable appearance is the main “fad” of the recommended smartphone, and also partially justifies the financial appetites of Huawei. However, the phone copes with everyday tasks without problems, removes (during the day) with dignity, the quality of communication is excellent. The autonomy of the P20 Lite, alas, is not impressive.

The name of this Huawei smartphone clearly indicates its gaming orientation, and on the company's official website, gamers are promised a crazy acceleration of the device due to GPU Turbo technology. In fairness, we note that any other Huawei smartphones built on the Kirin 970 hardware platform (the same Honor 10 / V10, for example) do allow more FPS drawdowns in heavy scenes. Another thing is that it is only conditional to call this SoC gaming, and it is simply indecent to compare its potential with Snapdragon 835/845 chips. However, Honor Play can “pull” PUBG at maximum settings with a frequency of 35 frames per second. In general, not bad, but the smartphone has no power reserve. We also note that the low cost (compared to the above models) is due to the substantial simplification of the chamber part, so you should not count on the versatility of Honor Play.

The most inexpensive smartphone Huawei - Y3 - we will not recommend - this is a classic "dialer" without any special complaints about anything else. But the next reincarnation of the Y5 model is much more interesting from different points of view. It is lighter, more compact, with a better filling and a display, as well as a more powerful battery. Perhaps, for someone, a more convincing argument will be the presence of a special hardware button (Easy Key) that allows you to quickly launch three applications or perform the same number of other actions. An interesting point - Y5 has this functionality exclusively. Neither the “troika”, nor the models with a rank higher than it can not boast. By the way, pay attention, like the previous generation (Y5II), there are two versions of the smartphone: 3G and 4G. Even if you do not plan or do not have the opportunity to use high-speed Internet, focus on the LTE-shnuyu modification - it has a more modern hardware platform.

If the presence of a fingerprint scanner is not a decisive condition for you to choose a good inexpensive smartphone, take a look at the latest version of the Huawei Y5. Protection from prying eyes in this device is organized using facial recognition and works quite reliably (under normal lighting). Prime in the model name indicates a small advancement of the camera part of the smartphone. In the sense that it allows you to take clearer photos and is slightly less dependent on shooting conditions. Of the nice features, we note a triple tray for a memory card and a sim card. Disappointment can cause a single microphone and speaker. It's nice that the developers of Huawei Y5 Prime provided the possibility of additional volume enhancement during a conversation, but this device is not the best choice for listening to music.
