Smartphone review: Motorola Moto G10
Motorola Moto G10 - autonomy to replace functionality?
The audience of the smartphone market is growing every day. Billions of people now use their mobile assistants for hundreds of different operations every day. Music, web surfing, calls, instant messengers, games, photography, text editing, photos and even video have become commonplace for Android users, but all of the above requires a very capacious battery from the phones. The hero of today's review has one, but at the same time the gadget has acquired several unpleasant shortcomings, even for its low-average price category.
Smartphone review: Doogee S86
Doogee S86 - too standard
The middle price segment of IP68 smartphones is undergoing significant changes. Reducing dimensions, improving ergonomics and design, increasing functionality and even the appearance of 5G networks in a number of devices have become fashion trends. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is rather conservative and in many ways repeats his predecessors.
Smartphone review: Motorola Moto G40
Motorola Moto G40 - youth bestseller
Not every fan of Android smartphones can afford to purchase an expensive flagship. But it is often young people who are deprived of the budget, having the warmest feelings for beautiful, technological and productive phones. The Motorola company decided to make a real gift to such users, presenting the magnificent hero of today's review.
Smartphone review: Asus Zenfone 7 Mini
Asus Zenfone 7 Mini - original and compact
Smartphones are getting closer every year to replace many people not only with tablets, but also with laptops. The functionality, performance and autonomy of smart phones are increasing rapidly, as are their dimensions. Of course, not the entire audience likes this state of affairs. Especially for these buyers, the Taiwanese company Asus has released the hero of today's review, which will fit perfectly in any palm.
Smartphone review: Blackview BV6600
Blackview BV6600 - too average option
The Chinese company Blackview resembles a conveyor belt for creating smartphones. Sometimes there is a feeling that the developer is trying with all his might to expand the range of products provided, not always thinking about how the audience will react to this or that model. This leads to the fact that the manufacturer's products are slightly different from their opponents and are not ready to offer users something really impressive.
Smartphone review: Realme V11
Realme V11 - 5G is getting closer
The average price of a smartphone is decreasing every year. This is largely due to the technological process, because now for little money the buyer can get a mobile assistant with a beautiful design, wide functionality, and fully functional cameras. The Chinese company Realmi adds support for 5G networks to the list.
Smartphone review: Xiaomi Mi 10 Enhanced Version
Xiaomi Mi 10 Enhanced Version - selling the flagship twice
The strategy of re-releasing a smartphone with modified technical characteristics is usually characteristic of not the largest manufacturers, because such solutions seriously save money on design development, procurement of components and much more. Surprisingly, the well-known Chinese company Xiaomi suddenly decided to use this technique. So, the hero of today's review is not much different from his predecessor. Are there enough minor changes for the success of the gadget?
Smartphone review: Samsung Galaxy M02
Samsung Galaxy M02 - teleport to 2017
The audience of the smartphone market has become noticeably more demanding over the past couple of years. Now sophisticated users want to get decent functionality even from the cheapest phones. However, it seems that the Korean company Samsung does not really care about this fact. Judging by the hero of today's review, the corporation believes that its name alone is enough for excellent sales of not the most current novelty.
Smartphone review: Vivo S9
Vivo S9 - the flagship for selfie fans
The development of various social networks has increased the importance of the quality of front cameras in modern smartphones. However, a phone also needs an attractive design, decent performance and a reasonable price to be successful. The hero of today's review tries to combine the listed parameters and he succeeds in this task quite well.
Smartphone review: UMiDIGI A9 Max
UMiDIGI A9 Max - invisible improvements?
The Chinese company Umidigi decided to create a whole A9-line, the models of which retain the similar design and a number of competitive advantages. However, sometimes new items differ little from already released products, which calls into question the need for their release. The hero of today's review belongs precisely to this category of devices, which is upsetting.
Smartphone review: Xiaomi Mi 11 Youth Edition
Xiaomi Mi 11 Youth Edition - an alternative to flagships?
The Chinese company Xiaomi has noticeably changed its pricing policy. The corporation's flagship smartphones have become more technologically advanced, more beautiful, but at the same time much more expensive. Not all fans of the firm appreciated these changes. Especially for them, the hero of today's review was released, who tries to combine decent photographic capabilities, autonomy and a completely attractive design.
Smartphone review: Oppo A94
Oppo A94 - meaningless continuation
The Chinese company Oppo has vast experience in the production of smartphones, which is noticeably reflected in their quality and compliance with the price segment. However, not every corporation phone gets approval from the audience. Thus, the A93 model was criticized for its poor technical characteristics and photographic capabilities. Unfortunately, the successor of the device, represented by the hero of today's review, does not correct all the disadvantages of its predecessor.
Smartphone review: Motorola Edge S
Motorola Edge S - affordable pleasure
Although smartphones of the highest price segment are usually sold in less impressive circulations than their more budgetary alternatives, not all buyers are eager to give huge sums of money for the most beautiful, productive and technological product. That is why the Motorola company tried to do everything possible to release a relatively inexpensive device with all the above advantages.
Smartphone review: Vivo S8
Vivo S8 - striving for flagship peaks
The S-series of smartphones from the Chinese company Vivo has always been aimed at providing stylish and attractive designs as well as impressive selfie capabilities. The hero of today's review tries not to break the established traditions, and even add new ones to them - excellent performance and impressive autonomy.
Smartphone review: Blackview A80s
Blackview A80s - inexpensive and tasteful?
The Chinese company Blackview continues to earn every last penny from the successful models of its smartphones. The A80, released a few months ago, pleased the audience with both its design and functionality for a very reasonable price. However, as time goes on, the technical specifications become obsolete. The hero of today's review offers all the best that was in its predecessor, and adds increased performance to this list of advantages. But are these changes enough for repeated success?
Smartphone review: ZTE Blade X1 5G
ZTE Blade X1 5G - Chinese American
The year 2021 for ZTE started quite modestly. While opponents announced and released many curious smartphones, the once world-famous corporation remained silent. The hero of today's review was the first novelty of the manufacturer over the last month, but only US residents can appreciate its balance in terms of technical characteristics and functionality. It seems that the citizens of Europe and the CIS countries will have to quietly envy.
Smartphone review: Oppo A55 5G
Oppo A55 5G - inexpensive and with 5G frequencies
5G smartphones are becoming more relevant and attractive to audiences. If only yesterday the highest speeds of the Internet connection seemed fantastic, today for relatively modest money you can take a device with similar functionality, as well as stylish design and good autonomy. One of these devices is the hero of today's review.
Smartphone review: Vivo S7t
Vivo S7t - not drastic, but logical changes
The Chinese company Vivo is known for producing not the most affordable, but extremely stylish and functional smartphones. The manufacturer supplements the most successful models with improved or, conversely, simplified versions for additional profit, because it is possible to save money on already developed housing concepts. However, the hero of today's review was rather a step away from his predecessor. But such a move by the developer is not devoid of logic.
Smartphone review: Ulefone Armor 11
Ulefone Armor 11 - reduce the scope, citizen
Over the past few months, the Chinese company Ulefon has seriously expanded and at the same time improved the range of smartphones in the mid-high price segment. The Armor line of rugged and technologically advanced phones has been replenished with the hero of today's review. The device is incredibly pleased with the ratio of price, functionality and performance, but the developer decided to save on the design of the novelty.
Smartphone review: Samsung Galaxy A82
Samsung Galaxy A82 - continuing to be original
The Korean company Samsung last year delighted its fans with the A80 smartphone with a folding camera mechanism. As a result, the photographic possibilities for selfies were great, and in other aspects the phone tried to keep up with the opponents. However, the problem with phantom clicks of the wheelbarrow and a number of less critical shortcomings still did not bring the gadget to the rank of camera phones. The hero of today's review must correct the mistakes of his predecessor while maintaining the overall design concept.
Smartphone review: Vivo IQOO Neo 5
Vivo IQOO Neo 5 - the flagship that will not be given to us
The Chinese company Vivo has been pleasing its fans for several years with Neo-line smartphones, which are distinguished by outstanding functionality at a relatively affordable price. At the same time, the phones of the series were devoid of any serious drawbacks and were characterized by the utmost balance for the value category. Only the lack of global versions of the devices confused fans of the brand from Europe, the USA and the CIS countries. Unfortunately, rumors about the release of the hero of today's review on the world market turned out to be fiction.
Smartphone review: Realme X9
Realme X9 - not beauty alone
The Chinese company Realmi sometimes surprises with its inconsistency. The manufacturer can both produce fairly passable smartphones of low and medium price segments, and delight its fans with real bestsellers, which they just want to buy for themselves. The hero of today's review combines stunning design, almost flagship functionality and an affordable price. What is the secret to creating such an interesting device?
Smartphone review: Realme C20
Realme C20 is not the most necessary novelty
Expanding the range of products on offer is an important thing for every smartphone manufacturer, but this process must be done wisely. A sophisticated audience and a huge number of competing firms will not allow even the most talented and beloved corporation to make many mistakes, because the punishment can be severe. And if the Chinese company Realmi continues to release phones like the hero of today's review, then their path to leadership will become more difficult.
Smartphone review: Ulefone Note 10
Ulefone Note 10 - ideal for the unpretentious?
The Chinese company Ulefon is still not known among the widest circles of users, but it seems that the developer is satisfied with this state of affairs. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the large number of not particularly impressive new products. For example, the hero of today's review is able to be a full-fledged main mobile assistant only for inexperienced buyers.
Smartphone review: Cubot C20
Cubot C20 - combination of modern and outdated
The Chinese company Kubot is gradually losing ground. If a few years ago the corporation had prerequisites for the transition to the A-brands segment, now the manufacturer is drowning in the creation of partial clones of successful phones (using a similar name and design), independent projects of the developer are also not delightful. So, the hero of today's review, although he has a number of successful finds for an inexpensive Android smartphone, is still not able to get to the title of a potential hit.
Smartphone review: ASUS ROG Phone 4
ASUS ROG Phone 4 - ahead of charts
The Taiwanese company Asus closely monitors the smartphone market, including the actions of competitors. So, in the segment of gaming phones, it is planned to release several serious products at once, claiming to be the leader. An experienced manufacturer decided not to let opponents take over the mentioned niche and noticeably accelerated the launch of a new representative of the ROG line. Did the changes in the release date affect the quality of the device?
Smartphone review: ZTE Nubia Z30
ZTE Nubia Z30 - hopes for revival
The Chinese company ZTE got lost against the background of competitors that significantly strengthened their positions. Litigation with US authorities, controversial decisions of the corporation's management negatively affected the brand's popularity outside of China. However, over the past few years, the once-popular manufacturer has mustered up the strength and budget to gradually organize its comeback. The hero of today's review should help the developer in this difficult task.
Smartphone review: Oppo A93 5G
Oppo A93 5G is a ghostly bestseller
The Chinese company Oppo, although it has vast experience in the production of high-quality smartphones, still sometimes makes mistakes in the positioning of certain models. The hero of today's review is ready to attract the attention of millions of people around the world due to its affordable price and excellent technical characteristics, but the developer decided to leave it on sale only in China.
Smartphone review: Doogee S88 Plus
Doogee S88 Plus - humble steps towards success
The desire of the Chinese company Dodge to earn every last cent from successful models of smartphones is explained both by a decrease in the production cost of a new device, and by the absence of the need for large-scale advertising campaigns. Users already know the manufacturer's previous hit in person, why not sell the brand's fans an improved version of the popular phone? In the case of the hero of today's review, the improvements made may not be enough for a sophisticated audience.
Smartphone review: Doogee X95 Pro
Doogee X95 Pro - when the main flaws are in place
The Chinese company Dodge continues to practice the release of simplified or, conversely, improved versions of its more or less successful smartphones. In some cases, the manufacturer listens to the audience's feedback on certain models and corrects their disadvantages in the updated edition. Unfortunately, this situation did not happen with the hero of today's review.
Smartphone review: Realme Race Pro
Realme Race Pro - application for leadership
The Chinese company Xiaomi was able to become the first corporation to introduce a smartphone based on the latest flagship processor from Qualcomm. However, the newly minted competitor of the market leader in the person of Realmi does not want to lag behind the eminent rival. The hero of today's review is trying to surpass the opponents' product both in price and in functionality. Surprisingly, the phone does it well.
Smartphone review: Vivo Y31s 5G
Vivo Y31s 5G - the hit is not for us
Smartphone manufacturers often adapt their models for different markets, changing their functionality. Thus, users of Android phones from Europe and the CIS countries especially appreciate the presence of contactless payments in their mobile assistants, as well as an extended frequency range. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review is aimed at China and is deprived of NFC, as well as the FDD-LTE B7 frequency. But the gadget had a chance to become a real bestseller.
Smartphone review: Ulefone Note 11P
Ulefone Note 11P is a step towards success
Smartphones from the Chinese company Ulefon enjoy moderate interest from the audience. Problems with software optimization, savings in design and assembly materials, as well as photographic capabilities become obstacles to the popularity of gadgets. However, the manufacturer is trying to gradually improve these parameters, which can be seen from the hero of today's review.
Smartphone review: Motorola Moto One 5G Ace
Motorola Moto One 5G Ace is practically a "flagship killer"
Motorola has everything you need to be one of the leaders in the Android smartphone market. An impressive budget, brand awareness, qualified specialists, the ability to conduct large-scale marketing campaigns - not all smartphone manufacturers differ in this list. However, the developer makes mistakes even with such a set of competitive advantages. The hero of today's review could well become a bestseller if the corporation paid him a little more attention.
Smartphone review: Vivo IQOO U1 5G
Vivo IQOO U1 5G - one step away from popularity
A significant number of smartphones of the Chinese company Vivo do not receive the reaction from the market audience that the developer expects. The reasons, of course, lie precisely in the actions of the manufacturer himself. So, some phones do not come out in the global version, other gadgets lack a competent advertising campaign, and still others have several small but critical drawbacks for users. And it seems that the hero of today's review in one way or another refers to all the groups listed.
Smartphone review: Samsung Galaxy M02s
Samsung Galaxy M02s - available and offline
The lower price segment of the smartphone market is becoming more popular every day, because even the most budget phones are able to provide the user with numerous useful functions and become an excellent assistant in everyday activities. However, audience demands are also growing rapidly. Only the functionality of the device is now not enough for its one hundred percent success, sophisticated buyers want to see the beauty of the design, excellent photosensors and many other things, even for a democratic amount of money. Surprisingly, the hero of today's review can give a lot from this list. But how will its shortcomings affect the popularity of the gadget?
Smartphone review: Realme V15
Realme V15 - bright hit
The Chinese company Realmi not only wants to become a full-fledged competitor to such mastodons of the smartphone market as Xiaomi, Huawei, but also has ambitions to become the industry leaders. To do this, the corporation must not only conduct a competent marketing campaign, but also create devices that are truly relevant in design and functionality. The hero of today's review fully meets these requirements and at the same time offers an affordable price.
Smartphone review: Xiaomi Redmi 9T
Xiaomi Redmi 9T - turn off the copier
The Chinese company Xiaomi loves to release the same models with different names in different regions. Recently, however, the situation has begun to change for the worse. Now, even in the territory of one country, it is possible to purchase essentially the same phones. So, the hero of today's review is almost a complete clone of Poco M3 and Note 9 4G.
Smartphone review: Xiaomi Redmi K11
Xiaomi Redmi K11 - renaming for additional sales
The next generation of the main line of flagship smartphones of the Chinese company Xiaomi has caused a serious stir among Android users, even if the new model is not ideal for the asking price tag. And while the number 11 is heard by the audience, the well-known developer decided to roll back the K-series of phones of its sub-brand Redmi somewhat. Will such changes affect the popularity of the hero of today's review?
Smartphone review: Motorola Moto Nio
Motorola Moto Nio - when everything is fine, except for the price
The Motorola company, although not very well known today in Europe and in the territory of the CIS countries, has a number of extremely competitive smartphones in its range. Unfortunately, the main obstacle to gaining the popularity that the manufacturer had 10-15 years ago is not the most democratic pricing policy. So, the hero of today's review could well claim to be a bestseller with a more modest price tag, because there are practically no flaws in it.
Smartphone review: Xiaomi Mi 11
Xiaomi Mi 11 - flagship celebration
What should be a modern flagship? Among the hundreds of definitions listed, there will definitely be the words "productive", "with brilliant photographic capabilities", "long-playing", "beautiful". The hero of today's review is perfect for everything described, who at the same time does not forget to bring something new to the segment.
Smartphone review: Huawei Mate 40e
Huawei Mate 40e - flagship, cut in functionality
The relevance of smartphones of the Chinese company Huawei is gradually decreasing. Unfortunately, the corporation was never able to compensate for the loss of Google services. A number of applications work unstable due to this fact, some programs simply cannot be found in the developer's branded store. The flagship segment has been hit particularly hard by the decline in sales. And even the cheaper hero of today's review is unlikely to make the manufacturer's products more popular.
Smartphone review: Blackview A70
Blackview A70 - a couple of years late
Launching an inexpensive smartphone is not the easiest task in today's smart phone market. The audience is becoming more and more demanding of the technical characteristics and functionality of even such devices. Unfortunately, the Chinese company Blackview decided that the hero of today's review would have enough of an exceptionally beautiful design and autonomy to win the hearts of users.
Smartphone review: Oppo A95
Oppo A95 - a verified hit?
The Chinese company Oppo has vast experience in creating high-quality smartphones. Problems with one of the market leaders in the person of Huawei allow another compatriot to count on expanding the audience of users, but for such a result it is necessary to create an exceptionally balanced phone in terms of performance, design and functionality. The hero of today's review fully meets such requirements.
Smartphone review: Samsung Galaxy A52 5G
Samsung Galaxy A52 5G - a ruined bestseller?
The mid-price segment of 5G smartphones has become one of the most popular and fastest growing this year. The release of a successful phone in this price range promises the manufacturer a good profit, but a sophisticated audience wants to see a technological, beautiful and functional device even for that kind of money. In pursuit of achieving such a result, the Korean company Samsung, unfortunately, forgot about the cost of the hero of today's review and, as a result, its final price tag.
Smartphone review: Realme Koi
Realme Koi - gold fish?
The names of companies and their products often appear for a reason. Someone names a corporation after their daughter (Mercedes), other people adore rice grains (Xiaomi). Representatives of the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Realmi decided to pay tribute to the cute koi carp by naming the hero of today's review.
Smartphone review: OnePlus 9 Lite
OnePlus 9 Lite - more expensive, but easier?
The Chinese company Vanplas decided to expand the line of the ninth generation of its flagship smartphones with the Lite version. Perhaps this decision is due to an increase in prices for top-end products of the corporation, which is why a number of brand fans switched to alternatives from competitors. Unfortunately, the simplified version of the flagship turned out to be quite controversial and in several points even worse than the previously released 8T model.
Smartphone review: OUKITEL K15
OUKITEL K15 - battery above all else
The Chinese company Oukitel has decided to give its fans a lot of smartphones with increased autonomy in recent months, but if a few years ago only such a competitive advantage was enough to create a competitive phone, today a demanding audience wants to get both the beauty of design and functionality. Unfortunately, the hero of today's review can only partially boast of such things.
Smartphone review: F150 B2021
F150 B2021 - without saving on the main thing?
The release of a smartphone at the turn of the low and middle price segments is always associated with difficulties in terms of reducing the cost of the final product. You still have to save on something, the developer needs to make the right choice. If the decision is correct, then you get a phone like the hero of today's review.
Smartphone review: Vivo IQOO 7 Pro
Vivo IQOO 7 Pro - Enter the bestseller territory
The Chinese company Vivo, along with its sub-brand, which has a very difficult name to pronounce, is trying to impose competition on market leaders, both Xiaomi, Huawei and Realme, and Apple. The task is almost impossible, because in order to lure users it is necessary to create an extremely balanced smartphone in terms of design, performance and functionality. Surprisingly, the hero of today's review is ready to become such a device.
