Here we ask ourselves the question of what is a flagship phone?

We, ordinary people, are constantly told a couple of times a year, or even more often, that Samsung, HTC, LG and many others will soon release or have already released a new flagship of the company.

But what is a flagship? We will discuss the term in this article.

basic information

  • All phone manufacturers produce devices that differ in technical characteristics, design and cost. Some are cheaper, others are more expensive.
  • One has a 5.2-inch display with a pixel density of 440 per inch, while the other has a faded 3-inch TFT-matrix with a resolution of 320x240.
  • A flagship is a phone that has the latest advanced features.
  • Manufacturers are trying to impress us with new built-in features (think of the heart rate sensor in the Samsung Galaxy 5), the number of megapixels of the camera, the size and quality of the screen, and much more. In general, who cares what.
  • This whole race is not only because of the humane desire that we should be pleased to use the device, but also because of money.
  • If the flagship device from one company is more famous than from another, the sales of the first will increase, and the second will incur possible losses.
  • The flagship manufacturer is trying to keep secret information about the external design, the most detailed characteristics of the new product and its features for as long as possible until the very release of the device.
  • Because of this, the excitement of users is heated up, the company receives increased attention to itself, and competitors are trying their best to find out the news about the upcoming flagship.

What is the popularity of flagships

  • Recently, the fashion for increasing the number of pixels and screen size is slowly fading away. The development of innovations, which have not yet been noticed by anyone, as well as quality, are brought to the fore.
  • For example, in addition to the heart rate sensor, SGS 5 has a built-in and usable fingerprint recognition sensor. Prior to this, this feature was only in the iPhone. HTC have revised camera performance.
  • Now the number of megapixels does not exceed a dozen, but the quality of the pictures, if not improved, then at least remained at the same level. In addition to cameras, NTS are working on sound quality, constantly improving it from both headphones and external speakers.

Every year the phrase "flagship smartphone" or "flagship smartphone" is becoming more and more popular. Some users do not know what it means, so today we will reveal the secret.

Frankly speaking, there is nothing to reveal here - flagships are the top (read - the best and most powerful) smartphones of the company. For example, at the time of writing, Samsung's top smartphones include the Galaxy S10 (S10+) and Galaxy Note 10+. They have the best screens, the best hardware, the best cameras, water and dust resistance, support for fast and wireless charging, and the Galaxy Note 10+ even has a stylus! In general, all the very best, which is why these two smartphones are called flagship devices. Both at once, some users will ask? Yes, because in fact it is, although they are different devices, but both are flagship.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+:

Almost every company has flagships, although Apple has been an exception until recently. After all, in fact, Apple released only one model of the iPhone, which was the flagship / the only smartphone of the company. Then the 5c model saw the light, and after some more time, the SE. At the time of this writing, there are three main models in the line: 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max (the last two differ in screen size, dimensions and battery capacity).

And one of Huawei's flagships is the Mate 30 Pro:

Flagship devices tend to change generation once a year, while smartphones can change completely or only partially.

Features of flagship devices

  • The flagship smartphone is a kind of presentation of all the innovative developments of a particular company.
  • That is why the device becomes a kind of display of all the most fashionable novelties and latest technologies, including a clear expressive design.
  • However, it is worth noting that the most profitable and necessary developments then necessarily pass into all other smartphones from the company's lineup.
  • Every lover of modern gadgets will be happy to discover the so-called flagship smartphone. The current market offers several such models, of which the Apple iPhone 5S attracts special attention.
  • It was this device for the first time in the history of the development of this area that was equipped with a processor, the power of which is equal to 64 bits.
  • The Samsung Galaxy S4 is another flagship smartphone model that benefits from an incredibly wide variety of games and apps, even when compared to the same iPhone.
  • In addition, this device is complemented by a powerful camera. However, it is fair to say that this smartphone can hardly be called ideal, even for its fabulous cost.
  • The plastic case of the model does not fit into the framework of an elite telephone device at all.

Examples of flagship models

  • It is worth mentioning another model as an example. This is a Sony Xperia. An excellent screen in terms of sensitivity, and decent RAM parameters, reaching 3GB, make this smartphone not only fashionable, but also practical and easy to use.

    Perhaps the combination of such characteristics is not something definitely innovative in the mobile phone market, but this company first released such a smartphone.

  • Flagships are offered in a different version. All of them are different, but they claim to be a kind of presentation of the merits of a particular company, such as LG G2.
  • Among the devices operating on the basis of OS Window, it is worth highlighting the Nokia Lumia 925. However, despite the fact that the company itself presents it as a flagship phone, this can be doubted.

    Even the previous model 920 was designed for 32 GB of memory. The novelty also allows you to work with only 16 GB. That is why, having heard a sonorous advertising name, you should not immediately purchase a new product without analyzing the main characteristics.
