Top 10 Xiaomi smartphones

The sixth generation of the most affordable smartphones Xiaomi is surprised by the lack of an IR-module, which until now was almost an indispensable component for all the company's product lines. If you continue to compare this model with the Redmi 5A, a couple of fundamental differences are striking. The first is that the display of the novelty is elongated in accordance with the trend aspect ratio (although it has not acquired the notorious bang). Second, the hardware navigation buttons disappeared and only their on-screen analogs remained. Given that even in ultra-budget Xiaomi smartphones, gesture management is supported - a fully justified decision.

Of the pleasant changes worth mentioning is finally the normal sound recording when shooting video. Sadness causes a frankly low maximum brightness value. In the sun, the Redmi 6A screen becomes completely unreadable. Dual-band Wi-Fi and fast charging never “delivered”. And still the block of the camera strongly acts. Like, a new fashionable feature.

If one of the main criteria for a convenient smartphone for you is a large screen diagonal, you will certainly be interested in the next reincarnation of the Xiaomi phablet. Almost unchanged in its own dimensions, Mi Max 3 impresses with the growth of its display capabilities. And in different senses: an extra half-inch of the diagonal, a third more contrast image, higher maximum brightness. In addition, the conditional frameless makes Mi Max 3 almost elegant, no matter how crazy this definition may sound in relation to the phablet. Do not be fooled. In fact, the device is huge and using it with one hand is very problematic. Playing or watching movies is another thing. To read a book is already less comfortable, as in our opinion.

The next controversial point concerns the shooting of such an original “camera”. The skills of Mi Max 3 roughly correspond to the photo talents of Redmi Note 5, and even a little better, because The latter doesn’t allow to shoot 4K video. The problem is in size, and also in how this process looks from the outside!

Google’s direct support of AndroidOne smartphones, as well as the absence of restrictions on the cloud-based storage of high-resolution images, are powerful arguments in favor of such models. Unfortunately, with all the variety of Xiaomi's product lines, there are only a few of the national brand’s corresponding offers, so its fans don’t have much choice. The model has a good filling and modern design. Even if we are talking about the younger version of the second generation, Mi A2 Lite. At the heart of this smartphone is a good and popular platform Snapdragon 625. Its chamber part does not like darkness very much, but it does an excellent job with video shooting. The device is able to "communicate" via Wi-Fi on the 5 GHz band. It will easily stretch one and a half to two days on one battery charge It does not force to sacrifice the second SIM to install a memory card Well, there is a trend monobrovy, where do without it.

Choosing a smartphone with a “pure” Android is not perfect. You lose your gesture control (at least until the update on Android PIE), you can’t forcibly stretch the interface of unadapted applications on stretched screens, etc. If the resulting “buns” are more weighty for you (long-term support, anlim in the cloud), then we strongly recommend that you look at the Mi A2 model, because the strength of this Xiaomi smartphone is just a good camera, and where it will be stored. We emphasize that using the considered device is very convenient to do macro, and he also allows you to use long shutter speeds (up to 8 seconds). By the way, please note, Mi A2 and its supposedly considered Lite version discussed above have practically nothing in common.

Among other technical features of the device, we note the high bandwidth of the data transmission channel in the 5 GHz band.

An inexpensive good smartphone for uncompromising gamers is produced under the brand name of the new sub-brand of Xiaomi. The principles that guided the creators of Pocophone F1, the easiest way to express the phrase "maximum performance without excess". The latter include the design (it is simply not there), high-quality case materials (plastic used), support for contactless payment technology (which is very strange, this model is not oriented to the Chinese market) and the steepness of the main camera (removes the smartphone well, but no more ). But with the main talents of the Pocophone F1 everything is fine, because speed and power are provided by the top-end Snapdragon 845 chip, the LPDDR4X RAM and the built-in memory - UFS2.1. In addition, to withstand long gaming battles smartphone allows the cooling system on the heat pipes. Of the "non-core" buns, it is particularly worth noting that the face recognition scanner based on an IR sensor, which is surprisingly fast and uncritical to illumination.

To play without refusing anything, it turns out not on every smartphone. Due to the high load, the “motor” overheats, goes into throttling and the frieze can be caught at the most inopportune moment. The situation is saved by an effective cooling system for the chips, but the heat is not enough to just take away, it must also be dissipated in the surrounding space, and for such purposes the metal back cover is best suited. All of the above is available at the top gaming smartphone Xiaomi, and it also provides a quick call to a special panel with a bunch of profile settings and controls.In addition, the design of the device provides a separate mechanical switch to activate the game mode (the touch buttons, alerts and calls are blocked, the functionality of the Home button changes). Finally, the Black Shark can be completed with an attachable Bluetooth gamepad with a joystick and additional buttons. Unfortunately, the majority of games about such a megaplyushky do not even suspect, so the benefits of this accessory will be mainly in PUBG Mobile.
