Each person has their own taste and their own personal requirements. Therefore, opinions on the ranking of the best smartphones in 2016 may be different. Analyzing in detail all aspects and nuances, we tried to help you understand which trends are more innovative.


Detailed analysis

2016 is coming to an end, it's time to take stock. Among mobile devices, smartphones are the most interesting. Let's talk about them now. I must say right away that each device from this collection is not just a piece of hardware from the outgoing year. All smartphones are decent and have a decent margin of safety. That's why they are the best.

This collection does not claim to be the most objective and complete. Of course, I could not cover the entire market of mobile devices. Something, for one reason or another, passed me by, but some device is worthy, but it is not sold here and is not interesting to compatriots. We will also disregard such devices.

I communicated with all the devices presented here in one way or another. Therefore, I advise you to pay attention to them when choosing your mobile assistant.

We will line up all our heroes in a certain gradation. Let's break down the selection into nominations. There are expensive devices, there are mid-range ones, and there are also budget models. In each segment, we have the leader in the first place, the device in second, and then it’s clear. Go!

Tops. From 40,000 rubles

The most expensive and high quality devices of this year. Buying them, you get a full minced meat, the maximum possible. The manufacturers of such devices usually provide the best service to their customers, and that also costs some money. That is why, spending 45 thousand rubles and more on a smartphone, you should not squeeze another 5-10 thousand and it is better to buy a gadget from an official delivery, with full service and a guarantee. Do not agree? Well, God is your judge.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

A truly chic smartphone with a large, curved display at the edges. I did not share the well-deserved first place with his younger brother (the usual one), because he looks somewhat cartoonish against the background of a large and serious "edge".

Samsung, as always (last 2-3 years), managed to create the most technologically advanced device. If you want to be at the peak of progress, get the best display, a camera that plugs a digital camera worth up to 20 kilo rubles, and the most sophisticated software - take the S7 Edge. An uncompromising solution from all sides, with the corresponding cost - 59,990 rubles.

iPhone 7

This device has begun another two-year cycle of the company's smartphones, which means that it offers an interesting design and characteristics of a qualitatively new level than its predecessor.

You can treat Apple as you like, scold it endlessly, call it “cake” or vice versa, worship and mindlessly buy up all the new items. But we have to admit the objective reality - everyone wants an iPhone. Young people only talk about him. In the advertisement of the washing powder there is an iPhone on the housewife's table, on the advertising brochure in the passage of a bank specialist at the workplace, too, an iPhone. In the next newfangled series, your favorite hero has what? The iPhone, of course! He is everywhere and whether we want it or not, but it is a symbol of our time.

For those who did not understand. Samsung and Apple smartphones are useless and pointless to compare with each other. The first one is bought because it is a technologically perfect device, the second one because society insists on the “correct” choice. And these are two different worlds: logic reigns in one, emotions, psychology and product placement in the other. Nevertheless, smartphones are iconic and unambiguously dictate the rules for the entire market.

Former A-brands

There were no more top-end, and most importantly, iconic devices for the whole year. Sony makes some nice but weird smartphones. Everything seems to be good, cool, but you start comparing, you realize that they are asking for the same amount of money as for the Galaxy S7 / iPhone 7. In general, well, in fig.

LG is generally one big experiment that only causes bewilderment. Last year there was a very interesting G4, this one.

HTC - what kind of company is this?

At the end of the year, we were presented with a fierce device that is not really sold anywhere yet and no one can boast of the experience of close communication with it. Hence, the 9th "mate" does not participate in our selection and, most likely, will be able to claim the title of one of the best market players in the first half of 2017.

Flagships are cheaper. 30,000 - 40,000 rubles

Quite frankly, this is the most meaningless category. Smartphones at this level are all odd. They fall short of flagship and expensive devices (read iPhone 7 and Galaxy S7 / S7 Edge) for various reasons. And in comparison with the rest of the market, they all lose in price. Take, for example, the HTC One 10 - a boring, seemingly productive, but unforgivably expensive smartphone. For the same OnePlus 3, it is never a competitor.

Nevertheless, I still managed to find three devices that are worth paying attention to. Anyway…

Oneplus 3

The smartphone was released this summer and, unlike the previous, second generation, regained the status of the "killer" of flagships. In my opinion. He has a gorgeous build, slim, sleek design, monstrous filling (6 GB of "RAM", for a minute), an excellent camera, but most importantly software. Perhaps there are no devices in the world that have been so excavated along and across, where you can install not one, not two, but several dozen quite high-quality and amusing firmware.

Disclaimer. Why am I mentioning the Letyshops service? And because, firstly, I myself have not tried anything else, and secondly, I want you to save money. This collection is not only entertaining, it should also be useful. This is my extended answer to you on the topic: "What to buy for ... rubles?" Use it to your health!

And thirdly, yes, I get a small percentage from Letyshops. So, these three reasons have successfully coincided at once.

Nubia z11

Official delivery

Smartphones from the "went and bought on the way home from work" series. Gadgets are perfect for several important criteria for many: there is a certain amount of money, you want it here and now, with a guarantee and so that there is no bullshit without the Russian language and normal firmware.

Asus Zenfone 3

The Zenfone series surprises me extremely positively. Or rather, only one model -. I have not reached the others yet, but by analogy with the previous generation, I estimate that they will not really suit me.

ZE520KL is perhaps the most balanced, powerful, beautiful and officially sold device in our company. If you take something within 25,000 rubles, then only him.

Last year, I was truly pleased with the Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. It was sold for 18,000 rubles and for this money it was impossible to buy something even close in quality and performance. I have recommended it to so many people. Almost everyone obeyed, bought and were satisfied. All this I mean is that this year the situation is repeating itself. So I have high hopes for the next Zenfon.

Actual cost: 23,990 rubles

Huawei Nova

If not the third Zenfone, then definitely the Nova. Almost the same, with very minor differences, with the same excellent camera and a very promising Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. A thing for those who, for some reason, did not like Asus.

Price: 22 990 rubles

Top state employees. 10,000 - 18,000 rubles

Buying any device from this category, we spend little money, we get a lot of goodies. Unfortunately, we will not find anything interesting here in the official retail. All smartphones will have to be ordered from China. So much the better - more savings.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

Success of the year. If people order a smartphone from China, then it is XRN3 Pro, because in terms of the ratio of characteristics and cost, we have a top-end gadget. And it remains so now. It is not for nothing that many online stores continue to make various promotions on it. By the way, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor is a good start for the future. Its performance will last for a year, and there already the Note 5 will arrive in time to replace it.

Current price: 10,000 rubles

Nice appearance, good screen and processor, excellent software optimization - all this creates the feeling that the device is worth more than it actually is. And the sensations are true, I must admit.

Price: 5,000 rubles

Conclusion and predictions

In 2016, a lot of smartphones came out. New names have entered the market and Huawei has become the world's third largest smart mobile device provider. In the meantime, Apple and Samsung have made several strategic mistakes. And if the misses of the Cupertinians will be noticeable only tomorrow, then the South Korean giant felt the negative and very serious consequences almost instantly.

All this I mean that we live in a very interesting time and become witnesses of events on a truly planetary scale, albeit within the framework of one sphere of human life. In just one year, so much has happened, so many phenomena have influenced the development of the market, which means that everything is accelerating and will continue to accelerate in 2017.

In any case, the purpose of this article is to help you make the right choice. I hope this collection and our site as a whole is useful to you. In the meantime, I wish all readers a Happy New Year! Health, happiness and wellbeing!

2016 was a real breakthrough in the field of smartphone technology. All manufacturers have done their best to release quality new items to the market, equipped with the latest technologies and modern design.

Another feature of modern flagships is that plastic and plastic are used for their manufacture, because they are convenient and practical. These smartphones can handle falls better and are much easier and cheaper to repair. Also, this year manufacturers began to pay great attention to the design of their devices, they began to release flagships in several colors at once. Gone are the days when you could choose between white and black.
