Small phones with buttons go farther into the past: today smartphones shine everywhere with their touch screens . However, it is not difficult to understand their owners: given the need to use the Internet, phones are becoming almost indispensable.
Smartphone Evaluation Criteria
To rank smartphones,
you must select the criteria by which the devices will be evaluated. Most people,
choosing a phone, look primarily at the appearance: here it is necessary to take into account not only the design, but also the materials used - how durable they are and keep their appearance. Next, the display is evaluated: capacitive or resistive, its size and resolution,
type of matrix. The question that the buyer has after examining the display is about the sound characteristics of the device - how loud are the speakers, is the sound clear, how does the music in the headphones sound? Of course, what kind of smartphone is deprived of the camera - therefore, the quality of the received photos and videos is of interest. The following generalized criterion is the functionality of the phone as a whole: the interface, useful gadgets, and ease of use. And, of course, the battery power is of interest. Also important is the operating system on which the smartphone is running.
Comparing smartphones
By compiling a list of evaluation criteria,
You can create a rating of smartphones. The leading and most popular manufacturers of smartphones are HTC and Samsung, but recently BlackBerry has begun to compete with them; firmly holds on to its place and Nokia. Three Nokia Lumia models were among the top ten smartphones of the last year: they work on the Windows OS, with a capacitive sensitive display, a very bright design and with a good camera. As for the price, they are not cheap. Then Samsung Galaxy SIII got into the rating of smartphones. This smartphone is considered one of the very successful devices in all respects. Interesting design, Android OS, 4.8-inch screen, powerful battery, good camera and the corresponding price. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2, a very large smartphone that can pass for a full-fledged tablet, thanks to its excellent “stuffing”, takes up a notch. As for the price - this is a premium device, so low prices are not expected. And for those who always drop phones, the Nexus 4 offers a rating of smartphones: a shock-resistant housing, the ability to
high-speed
upgrade, relatively low price. However, there are a number of drawbacks: camera quality, a screen that is far from ideal, a rather weak battery - in a word, a mid-range phone in all respects. Sony Xperia Z was ranked next: luxurious design, huge display, responsiveness, very good sensor; as for photos and videos, the quality is lame. Then the three leaders follow, and here the prices for smartphones are not very cheap. Apple pleased fans with a fifth iPhone; in fact, it is not significantly different from its predecessor - Iphone 4, so by purchasing it, you can confidently use it; Iphone style design, high performance. In second place, the Samsung Galaxy S4 proudly shines with its almost five-inch screen. Stylish, effective, functional, convenient - it is deservedly in demand, despite the weakness of the battery. And crowned the top cell phones, the HTC One smartphone has an excellent 4.7-inch screen, high resolution, great sound, good photos, and a pretty user-friendly interface.
