The flagship from the second largest Taiwanese manufacturer was released in May 2016 and today has received 66% of five reviews in Yandex Market.

Support external memory card. Supports only one SIM card. Battery capacity - 3000 mAh. Talk time is 27 hours, standby time is 456 hours. There is a fingerprint scanner.

The main advantage of this model is its cameras. Main - 12 MP, front - 5 MP. Optical image stabilization is introduced for the first time in both the main and front cameras. The camera takes excellent pictures in low light conditions. The manufacturer's website says: "You can expect perfect lighting for great photos. And you can trust the main camera of HTC 10, which captures up to 136% more light in every photo. No magic - just next-generation UltraPixel technology, complemented by optical stabilization and a fast ƒ/ lens 1.8". The front camera of HTC 10 is no less impressive than the main one. The size of its photosensitive elements has been increased, the lens has an ƒ/1.8 aperture, and the screen perfectly acts as a flash. A wide-angle lens will allow you to capture not only your own portrait, but also a group of friends. For the first time, HTC 10 adds 4K video recording to 24-bit Hi-Res stereo audio recording. An audio track recorded in this format contains 256 times more detail and reproduces twice the frequency range. The HTC 10 camera starts up in 0.6 seconds - that is, almost instantly.

Various reviews and comparison tests indicate that the HTC 10 has one of the best cameras in the world today. In July 2016, the Phonearena resource conducted a comparative test of flagship cameras, in which the HTC 10 took first place, beating Samsung Galaxy S7 and Sony Xperia X Performance. The HTC 10 camera received 88 points on the Dxomark resource, this is the third result.

1 HTC U11 64Gb is a smartphone with the world's best camera and also the most powerful smartphone in the world

The average price is 45,000 rubles. You can buy HTC U11 64Gb on AliExpress for 42.5 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free). New flagship from the Taiwanese manufacturer went on sale in June 2019 and has not yet received customer reviews. At the same time, already at the start of sales it is obvious that, unexpectedly for everyone, HTC released the brightest flagship of the first half of 2019, which surpassed its competitors in camera quality and performance. The excellent camera quality in the HTC U11 was quite expected, given that last year's flagship HTC 10 was the winner for almost the entire year best camera 2016, only losing it in October Google place Pixel. Now the Google Pixel camera has moved to second place in the Dxomark resource rating, and HTC U11 topped the rating with a record 90 points (Google Pixel has 1 point less).

The main module contains a 12-megapixel UltraPixel 3 sensor with a pixel size of 1.4 microns, optics with an f/1.7 aperture and optical stabilization. The UltraSpeed ​​Autofocus system, in which every pixel is involved, is responsible for focusing.

The review on the portal hi-tech.mail.ru says about the camera of this model:

“The U11 aims at the target instantly, without missing a beat, even in low light.

I was impressed by the performance of the software. You take 10 frames in a row - and all 10 will be the same. That is, the exposure, shutter speed, and ISO settings are not lost at the slightest movement of the phone, and the built-in algorithms do not recognize this as a change in composition. This often happens in Chinese smartphones, and even in some flagships, for example, Google Pixel or LG G6. There, two photographs can differ in brightness or graininess - as the automation wishes.

When shooting against the sun or a bright sky, HDR Boost pulls out detail even in the darkest areas. The dynamic range is as wide as in Google Pixel images. There is some logic to this: the companies collaborated to develop the Pixel. Perhaps HTC provided the capacity of its factories, and in return Google shared its secret HDR+ algorithms."

The front camera resolution is an incredible 16 megapixels, f2.0 aperture, video is recorded in 1080p.

In a blind test comparing cameras of flagship smartphones and the Canon 5D Mark II DSLR, conducted among readers of hi-tech.mail.ru, HTC U11 took penultimate place, scoring 1 point less than the DSLR. The portal's editors explained it this way: "HTC U11 fell into the same trap as the camera: excellent detail, correct exposure, but it looks too simple compared to its bright competitors." At the same time, not the final sample was used in the test, but a test one, which could affect the quality of the shooting.

Other technical characteristics: Android 7.1 OS, 5.5-inch Super LCD screen with a resolution of 2560x1440, 64 GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM. Supports external memory card up to 2 TB. Supports two SIM cards. Battery capacity - 3000 mAh. Talk time is 24.5 hours, standby time is 336 hours. There is a fingerprint scanner on the front panel. The HTC U11 has pressure-sensitive edges, which means that by simply squeezing the smartphone in your hand, you can take photos with the camera, launch applications, or turn on the flashlight.

HTC U11 is IP67 protected and can be submerged in water up to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes and sprinkled with sand.

It is also worth noting the beautiful glossy case.

On this moment HTC U11 takes first place in terms of performance in the AnTuTu resource study, beating not only all Android smartphones, but also the seventh iPhone, which has been in first place for a long time.

Another year is coming to an end and it’s time to take stock of its results and look to the future. We’ve already talked about the best smartphones of 2017, but what awaits us next year?

There is more information about some devices, less about others; everything may still change before official announcements and releases. Despite this, it is possible to get a certain idea about future devices.

Below is a list of the 12 most anticipated smartphones of 2018.

12. Sony Xperia XZ Premium (2018)

The Sony Xperia XZ Premium smartphone in 2017 turned out to be quite an interesting product. It was the first among smartphones to have a 4K resolution LCD screen with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. Most people won't even notice the difference between Full HD and Quad HD resolutions, so this move can be called aimed at enthusiasts and users of virtual reality devices. The practical benefits of this resolution are minimal, but some people simply like to have the most advanced devices. Now they are expected to continue their exploits in 2018. The new Xperia device could be announced in the first half of the year and go on sale in the summer. So far, Sony has not released one yet and this is exactly what customers expect from it.

11. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3

The Chinese company is gradually expanding beyond Asia and setting its sights on the United States, but to penetrate its most important market, it needs to get it right. Ruler Xiaomi smartphones Mi Mix is ​​reminiscent of the Sony Xperia Premium in that it is designed to showcase advanced technological capabilities. The original Xiaomi Mi Mix was the first with an edge-to-edge screen, Mi Mix 2 has become even more advanced, the third generation should be perfect. Mi Mix 2 is now on sale in Russia for about 35,000 rubles, and in Europe for 500 euros, which can be considered an excellent purchase. While the price may rise in the future, the Mi Mix 3 should also be an excellent value for money proposition.

10. Nokia 9

In 2017, HMD Global returned the beloved brand to the smartphone market, but it did not become a grand event. I would like to believe that the future one will turn out better, as Nokia will try to return to its former glory. The Finnish company usually paid special attention to the camera and the same is expected from Nokia 9 in 2018. Optics manufactured by Zeiss should contribute to this.

9.Huawei P11/Mate 11

The company is better known in Russia than in the United States, but it also plays a significant role in the global smartphone market. The company already ranks third in smartphone production volume. It has flagship lines that are reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Note: Huawei P devices come out in the spring, and Huawei Mate in the fall. The P11 should have a frameless screen and a more affordable price compared to Apple and Apple models; the company also offers developments in the field of artificial intelligence that are based on the Huawei Kirin processor line.

8. Moto Z3 Force

A Chinese-owned company produces good smartphones in all price categories, from the budget G line and the mid-range X to the premium Z. The new Moto Z3 Force should receive two advantages of this series of devices: the shock-resistant ShatterShield screen and module support. It may appear next summer.

7.Essential Phone 2

Expected release date: summer 2018.

Creator Android platforms Andy Rubin led a new company to show how smartphones should be made for this system. The word Essential means “basis” and this is exactly the kind of smartphone this company tried to offer, abandoning unnecessary functional quirks. Essential Phone entered the market at too high a price, with undeveloped software, this is especially true for the camera. The device was heavily criticized for this, but software updates The situation has improved significantly in recent months. Reducing the cost to $500 also contributed to the increase in popularity of the device.

6. HTC U12

Expected release date: spring 2018.

The company tries to produce as many attractive smartphones, since her financial situation leaves much to be desired and every new model may be the last. Experienced companies in such a desperate situation are able to produce luxury smartphones. This year's device left a very favorable impression, and next year we expect a frameless screen, a more advanced camera, and changes to the HTC Sense shell on top of Android. Sales may start in the spring.

5.LG G7/V40

Expected release date: spring and autumn 2018.

In 2017, it released excellent smartphones, especially distinguished itself in terms of design and finishing. Despite this, the devices of this South Korean manufacturer lag behind the best in terms of camera quality and because of the strange software interface. LG may release two smartphones next year that should correct the shortcomings. The LG G7 is expected in the spring and will be more compact, the LG V40 usually comes out in late summer or autumn and competes with Samsung Galaxy Note devices.

4. OnePlus 6/6T

Expected release date: summer 2018.

It's been in the smartphone market for four years now, so it's no longer an inexperienced startup. In 2017, the company released 5 and 5T with good design, top performance and a clean Oxygen OS interface. OnePlus 6 and 6T models are expected to appear next year. I would like to believe in the improvement of cameras, which are not yet among the best.

3. Google Pixel 3/3 XL

Expected release date: autumn 2018.

The Pixel line quickly won the hearts of fans Android systems. The devices that replaced the Nexus series belong to the premium segment, while they receive software updates the fastest, have luxurious cameras and high performance, unlike many other even flagship smartphones. The 2018 models should build on the success of their predecessors and solve a number of serious problems, the main one of which is the quality of the screen. Otherwise, Google should continue to delight us with the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning, again improve performance, autonomy and improve the camera. I would also like to wish you to start official sales in Russia.

2. Samsung Galaxy S9/Note 9

Expected release date: spring and autumn 2018.

Samsung is the main manufacturer in the Android market, its smartphones are very popular, but still imperfect. The Galaxy S9 and its larger relative, the S9+, are due out in 2018. As usual, their release is expected in the spring, and the Galaxy Note 9 will be released in the fall. Rumors claim that the Galaxy S9 will have an inside screen, which will eliminate the inconvenient location of the scanner on smartphones this year. I'd also like to see improvements in performance, since the Galaxy S8 too often doesn't run as smoothly as a flagship should.

1. Apple iPhone Xs, 8s and 8s Plus

Expected release date: autumn 2018.

Apple released the $1,000 iPhone X in 2017 with an edge-to-edge screen and a notch at the top. Now we have to see the second generation of this device; its name is currently unknown. The size and style should remain the same, but system and camera performance are expected to improve. It’s too early to guess what else will be new in this device, but the announcement, according to tradition, should happen in mid-September.

Apple should also update two other smartphones, which could get names like iPhone 8s and 8s Plus. Perhaps they will also become frameless, but may retain the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. These questions remain unanswered for now.

The fashion device with a 5.5-inch display is available in black, gray and white universal colors. The manufacturer also presented elegant “female” models, made in shades of gold and rose gold.

Important: The thin metal body fits well in the palm of your hand: you can operate the gadget with one hand.

70% of the front side is occupied by the screen. The rest is made up of buttons, a speaker and sensors. The device protects from dust, scratches and shocks protective glass. It has rounded edges, so it completely covers the front of the gadget.
The internal memory (32 GB) is enough to store memorable photos, videos and audio recordings. In addition, it can be expanded using a flash drive: the device recognizes options up to 2 TB. Such a smartphone will become a full-fledged hard drive.

Advantages of the model:

  1. Color clarity – FHD display with wide viewing angles and 401 PPI pixel density lets you enjoy rich colors and detail.
  2. High performance – a powerful eight-core “engine” with a frequency of 2.2 GHz and 3 GB of RAM will ensure excellent “behavior” of the device both when surfing the web and in games.
  3. Gorgeous photos and videos - the resolution of the main camera is 13 megapixels, automatic focusing, image stabilizing function and flash make it possible to take a high-quality photo both in bright light and in the dark. The “pro” mode records images in RAW, which allows you to retouch frames quickly and at a deeper level.
  4. Excellent selfie shots – thanks to the “Auto Selfie” function, a beautiful shot on front camera(5 MP) is guaranteed: just smile – and the photo is ready. Correct your portrait in advance with the “quick makeup” mode.
  5. Two speakers provide loud, spacious and frequency-balanced sound: watch movies and listen to audio tracks not only in.
  6. A separate slot for a flash drive - with this device you don’t have to choose between 2 SIM cards and increasing the internal memory.

Among the disadvantages of the top model are the alternating operation of SIM cards and the display that glares in the sun. However, in comparison with the “stuffing” of the gadget, these are trifles.

2. HTC Desire 830

3. HTC Desire 526G

4. HTC 10 Lifestyle

Style, high performance, great sound and cameras - with a decent capacity battery (3000 mAh) it is suitable for simple web surfing, video and photography, and for games.

The 5.2-inch screen is completely covered with a protective screen, so it is not afraid of dust and scratches. The hardware of the device is protected from mechanical damage by a solid metal case.

Advantages of a smartphone:

  1. The display with a maximum resolution of 2560x1440 (QHD) will present images with a density of 564 ppi, characterized by clarity and rich colors.
  2. The 12 MP rear camera not only allows you to take high-quality pictures, but also make videos in 4K. And the 5 MP front camera gives rich photos in FHD.
  3. Available – 32 GB installed memory(in fact, about 28 GB due to pre-installed programs). This volume is increased by a flash drive up to 2 TB.
  4. Thanks to an eight-core chip from Qualcomm (1.8 GHz) and 3 GB RAM, the device shows high speed not only when using standard utilities, but also in 3D toys.
  5. Sound – Hi-Fi quality both in headphones and through.
  6. It runs on Android OS - most Google services are free.

This smartphone has only one drawback - the device supports 1 “nano” SIM card. The memory card tray is located separately, so you won’t be able to insert another SIM card instead of a flash drive.

5. HTC Desire 630

6. HTC U ULTRA

The chic appearance of the case shimmering in the light is achieved thanks to a unique combination of sapphire glass and metal. But it’s not just the design that makes this smartphone attractive: the large 5.7-inch display, which provides images in QHD quality (2560x1440 pixels), will please both fans of web surfing and online video viewing, as well as gamers.

The screen, protected from scratches and dust by special glass, is one of the advantages of the gadget, but the stylish body is easily soiled: on a glossy surface back cover Fingerprints and small lint are noticeable.

The device works with two SIM and a 256 GB flash drive. A combined slot for 1 nano-sim or microSD will not be a problem if you purchase the option with 128 GB storage. Options designed to store 64 GB of information are also available.

The device runs on Android 7, so the user has access to many free services And Google applications. Quad-core processor clocked at 2.15 GHz for powerful performance high performance both during simple use and in games.

A powerful 3000 mAh battery lasts about 18 hours in reading and web surfing mode, and you can enjoy games for about 5 hours in a row. A bonus for lovers of “toys” is the practically non-heating case.

Two more “chips” of the device are cameras: 12 megapixels (on the back) and 16 megapixels on the front. These options make it possible to take great pictures. A special frame stabilizing function will prevent the picture from shaking when shooting.

7. HTC U PLAY

8. HTC One A9

The device runs on Android and is equipped with a lithium-ion non-removable battery. 2150 mAh capacity is enough for 16 hours of calls. Thanks to the “economical” AMOLED display, with standard use - reading, Internet surfing - it lasts for 8-10 hours.

The Taiwanese company HTC has been in the smartphone industry for several years now. She is one of the first to generally engage in the production of touch devices. The brand is a leader in the production of smartphones with two cameras, and the company often offers unusual solutions in this area. In recent years, HTC has not been a leader, but constantly wants to return to its place by releasing interesting devices. Not everything always works out very well, but the company cannot be written off, so below are the new HTC products of 2018.

The model belongs to the middle segment. The device is a simplified version of the U11, but differs not only in hardware, but also in the camera. The name gives the impression that the model has an interesting camera, and this is true. The device received a rear camera with one matrix, but in front there were two modules at once.

Like anyone modern apparatus, the device has glass surface front and back, a fairly large diagonal of 6 inches with a FullView ratio. The matrix is ​​SuperLCD with very high quality settings and a resolution of 2160*1080.

On a note! It’s nice that the brand did not follow in the footsteps of the American company and did not make a cutout for the camera and other elements, so here you can see a classic rectangular display, which many will like.

The camera in the device is represented by a 12-megapixel module with optical stabilization, fast focus, and extended dynamic range. You can list its advantages for a long time, but the main point: the independent research bureau DxOMark, which tests professional SLR cameras, gave the matrix in the U11 Eyes 90 points. This is a very high figure, which allows the model to be in the top ten best smartphones according to photo opportunities in the world. The front camera has two 5 megapixel modules, which will provide excellent selfie quality.

Hardware – Snapdragon 652, 4/64 GB of memory, battery – 3930 mAh, NFC, finger scanner. The device has a Type-C connector, and headphones can be connected through it. In the kit the user will find a headset, a cloth for the screen, and a silicone case. Colors are black, red and blue. Price – from 23 thousand rubles.

  • excellent camera;
  • bright colors;
  • rich equipment;
  • moisture protection;
  • Capacious battery with fast charging.
  • fairly old processor;
  • template design;
  • easily soiled body.

Considering the reasonable price, the device is quite interesting. First of all he aimed at young people for whom the camera is important, but not productivity. This is not to say that the model is slow, but for a similar price there are enough devices with a more decent processor, but worst camera.

HTC U11 Eyes on Yandex Market

The older version of the device discussed above, which is among the new products HTC smartphones 2018 not positioned as a flagship. Today there is a trend to call the company's most expensive smartphone a flagship, but in this case it is not so. HTC abandoned this approach: their “+” in the name only means a larger diagonal. The device is not much different from the regular U11, and we are mainly talking about the screen size - 6 inches versus 5.5. But despite this, the device is very interesting.

From point of view appearance everything is quite familiar. Glass front and back – very strong Gorilla Glass 5, which, even if you drop the device, will not break immediately. It is quite easily soiled, so it is recommended to immediately put on the transparent silicone case that is included in the kit. The colors are also not the newest - black, red and blue. Display – 6 inches, Super LCD 5, QHD+, FullView. He has analogue of the AlwaysOn function, but while on Amoled it can be perfectly configured, here they don’t give such an opportunity.

In terms of hardware, the device is very nice - Snapdragon 835, 4/64 or 6/128 GB of memory, combined card slot, NFC, finger scanner, 3930 mAh with fast charging. The model is equipped with very quality camera 12 megapixel with optical stabilizer and enlarged pixel. She takes great photos. Single front camera – 8 MP.

Important! One of the nice features is support for the LDAC codec. The device is one of the few who understand it. The point is that the sound is wireless headphones with support for this codec it is an order of magnitude better than other devices.

The model has 4 microphones with excellent noise reduction, and they work great, there is also a stereo speaker. The device is not afraid of dust and water.

One more feature - Edge Sense. There is a special area on the side edge that, when pressed, performs actions specified by the user. For example, you can quickly enter the camera or any the right application. According to reviews, at first it is not very convenient, but then you get used to it. Price – from 38 thousand rubles.

  • excellent camera;
  • good memory reserve;
  • side pressure sensor;
  • excellent sound and microphone;
  • high autonomy;
  • protection from moisture and dust;
  • rich set.
  • easily soiled body;
  • unremarkable design;
  • not a top processor.

About the device we can say that it is best model company in 2018, and despite the minor shortcomings listed in the cons, the device is pleasant. This is the choice of those who want to try something new, and not the boring Samsung, Honor or Apple. The price tag more than matches the content.

On Yandex Market

Among the latest HTC smartphones, the U12 Plus just recently appeared, and it is the company’s flagship. The model turned out good, but quite expensive.

The design is completely similar to the previous device: strong glass on the back and front, the side frame is metal. The display is the same Super LCD 5 with a diagonal of 6 inches, resolution 2880*1440, FullView. Snapdragon 845 chipset, 6 GB of RAM, optional storage – 64 or 128 GB.

Dual rear camera 12+16 megapixels, focusing is a symbiosis of laser and phase focusing, works very quickly, increased pixel size, optical stabilization and optical zoom. Front camera 8+8 MP. The battery is 3500 mAh, there is fast charging. Also installed here side compression sensor which was described above. Protection from moisture and dust is present. Price – 60 thousand rubles.

  • excellent camera;
  • serious filling;
  • excellent display.
  • price.

To describe the logic of the HTC U12 Plus, a few phrases are enough - this is the evolution of a good device. The model differs from the U11 Plus discussed above in only a few ways: the camera has become better, the processor has been placed in a top-end processor, the sound delivery has changed (and it has become even better), the operation of the touch side panels has been improved, and the battery has become smaller. This last point may upset some, but given the best energy-saving features of Snapdragon 845, there will be no difference.

The device among the 2018 models is really cool, but there is a question - why buy an excellent HTC for 60 thousand if for the same amount there are models no worse from Samsung or Apple. The device is top-end, but if its price were 5-10 thousand cheaper, it would easily break the market, but for now Taiwan needs to count only on fans and those who are tired of the Chinese, Koreans and Americans, and there are 60 such people Frankly speaking, that’s not a lot of thousands in your pocket.

On a note! The company's mistake is that it considers itself equal to the Korean and American brands, but this is not the case. Still, the perception of HTC today is worse than that of the mentioned brands. And even Huawei and Xiaomi look more preferable today.

New HTC smartphones introduced in 2018. contain not only expensive models, but also budget devices for everyone. Desire 12 is frameless smartphone with average parameters, which costs from 15 thousand rubles.

FullView display without cutout, diagonal – 5.5 inches, HD+. The main camera is 13 megapixels. The front matrix is ​​5 megapixels with HDR support. Memory – 2/16 GB or 3/32 GB, there is a separate slot for a memory card. Chipset – Mediatek MT6739. Battery – 2730 mAh. There is NFC.

The model received plastic case, which, according to reviews, gets dirty quite quickly.

Important! The display is not the largest and it seems that the resolution is sufficient for it, but if you look closely, the pixels become noticeable. Another weak side of the model is the chipset; according to reviews, the device slows down when scrolling, and there is no talk about serious games here at all.

From strengths– a good level of photographs for its segment, this is especially noticeable when shooting with the front camera in HDR mode. The second advantage of the device is a separate slot for a memory card. In general, the device is passable, and there is a whole list of competitors that look stronger.

  • full support for two SIM cards and a memory card;
  • good camera.
  • weak processor;
  • low display resolution;
  • easily soiled body;
  • low autonomy.

The model is clearly not for everyone. If you choose by parameters, then many devices from the Chinese look more attractive for purchase. The advantage of the model lies in the camera’s performance, but you can’t tell this without reading reviews and looking at the bare numbers.
