The year 2017 has come, the Christmas chimes have died down, but it’s not too late to make yourself or your loved one a pleasant surprise. After all, the Old New Year is still ahead, and it will be so nice to find a brand new smartphone under the Christmas tree. And so that the smartphone is not only new, but also lasts longer than a year, we have compiled ranking of the best smartphones in early 2017. The main criteria in its preparation were reviews on Yandex.Market and the popularity of models.
Top 10 best smartphones at the beginning of 2017
10. Apple iPhone SE
The average price is 34 989 rubles.
A model with 16 or 64 gigabytes of memory (but without a memory expansion slot) and a 4-inch screen users praise in the reviews for build quality, a good 12-megapixel camera, speed and form factor. Not everyone likes “shovel-like” smartphones, and the “apple” gadget, as they say, is small and daring.
IPhone SE is criticized for its high price, unstable wi-fi, and scratch-resistant case. Do not carry your smartphone in the same key pocket.
9. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
The average price is 59 989 rubles.
The screen of this eight-core smartphone is larger than the tenth number of our rating. It takes as much as 5.5 inches and has curved edges, making it tactile and visually smaller. It has high-quality protection against water and dust, is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera with Dual pixel technology, numerous sensors, including a sensor that measures heart rate and another that reads a fingerprint. There is a compartment for a memory card up to 200 GB.
Among the shortcomings, users note false clicks and the ease with which the glass is scratched.
8. Samsung Galaxy A3
Cost, on average - 17 989 rubles.
The golden mean in the size of the display is 4.7 inches. Other advantages of the model: 13-megapixel camera, nice design, long-lasting battery (no games, but with Internet surfing enough for two days of work). But his younger brother, the new 2017 Galaxy A5 managed to get on the list of the best smartphones of 2017. The rating is already published on the Basetop pages.
Disadvantages: low memory (16 GB and 1.5 GB internal / operational, respectively), there are complaints about the sound quality, slippery body.
7. Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro
Cost, on average - 17 980 rubles.
Cheap, reliable, practical - these are the three whales on which lies the popularity of the brand of the best Chinese smartphones of 2017, Xiaomi. This smartphone with a 4050 mAh battery, 5.5 ″ display, 32 GB of memory (plus a memory card slot), a fingerprint scanner and a huge selection of settings will serve you both the New Year and the Old Year and a few more years after.
Cons: the body slides in the hand.
6. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4
The average price is 19 990 rubles.
One of the best smartphones of 2017, with a battery even more capacious than the Redmi Note 3 Pro (4100 mAh), 64 gigabytes for user files (and there is also a slot for a memory card), a 5.5-inch screen and a beautiful appearance.
What does not suit the owners: when working, the smartphone is very hot, the camera at standard settings are oversized and sharp.
5. Apple iPhone 6S
Sold, on average, for 47 989 rubles.
The fifth place in our top 10 most popular smartphone models went to the 32-gigabyte sixth version of the iPhone. It has a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, a 12-megapixel camera and an A8 processor (the fifth version has A7). When surfing the Internet, without launching games, the smartphone holds a charge during the day.
Disadvantages: no oleophobic coating, overpriced.
4. Apple iPhone 7 Plus
The average price is 76,889 rubles.
A smartphone with 128 GB of memory on board (and with the lack of the ability to expand it) is praised for its tactile sensations. It is very nice to hold in your hands. Photos taken with a 12-megapixel camera are bright and juicy, the sound from the speakers is not satisfactory. There is moisture protection.
Of the minuses: fingerprints are immediately visible on the elegant onyx case.
3. Samsung Galaxy S7
It costs, on average, 49,989 rubles.
From the S7 Edge model differs only in screen size - 5.1 inches and a lower battery capacity - 3000 mAh versus 3600 mAh. And the price difference between the models is insignificant. If you have long wanted a top model from Samsung, but were confused by a curved screen, then feel free to take the Galaxy S7.
2. Xiaomi Redmi 3S
On average, it will cost 12,990 rubles.
And another Xiaomi representative on the list of the best smartphones of the beginning of 2017. Impressive battery (4100 mAh), not too big and not too small 5-inch display, 13-megapixel camera - what more could you ask for at that price?
Some users do not like the sound in the headphones, the quality of the pictures taken indoors, and the fact that the phone is very hot in 4g mode.
1. Apple iPhone 7
On average, it is offered for 65 989 rubles.
On the first line of the hit parade of smartphones, there are two versions of the iPhone 7 at once: 128 GB and 32 GB. They have the same screen - 4.7 inches. The creators provided the seventh version of their offspring with protection from dust and moisture, the new touch Home button, the latest generation of Touch ID sensors and weighted it up to 138 grams against 129 grams in the sixth version.
Disadvantage: the manufacturer’s controversial decision to abandon the 3.5 mm headphone jack.
