  • "always on display" — new feature, which is so often missing in the phone. All important information- time, date, weather, dollar exchange rate, etc. — constantly on the screen.

Since there are no more high-profile flagship announcements planned for 2016, this list of the best smartphones of 2016 can be considered final.


The computer has long become a reliable human companion. With its help, a common person can access huge database information and media files, simplify work, and professionals and scientists can quickly and efficiently carry out calculations and modeling. Ten years ago, compact computers - smartphones - came to the masses. By the end of 2017, they appeared in almost every pocket. And it just so happens that the average lifespan of a modern phone is a year and a half, after which the once ideal device is sent into the back drawer.

But many people don't intend to change devices that often. In addition, the performance of smartphones is quite enough for a couple of years. The only problem remains the quality of the devices - many models, after a few months of use, begin to “crumble”: the screen turns yellow, the battery capacity is lost, the case is scratched. But there are also real long-livers who will delight the user for several years.

IN this review you will find, in our opinion, some of the best phones in terms of quality and reliability. The following mobile phone (smartphone) indicators are important to us:

  1. Affordable price. A phone should not cost too much, because a high price is not always an indicator of quality. And the fact that the device should be affordable is extremely important.
  2. Lack of large quantities negative reviews on reliability of operation, warranty claims, poor assembly.
  3. Specifications. The rating includes phones that can compete in their technical characteristics with other models in the same price segment.

The highest quality inexpensive phones: budget up to 10,000 rubles

There are no serious complaints about this Nokia in the reviews - everyone is happy with the high-quality build, the inexpensive price, and its trouble-free operation.

Some users note that under heavy load the case gets noticeably hot - this is a consequence of using the Mediatek chip. Otherwise, this is a cheap unit for daily use. The technical specifications were selected with the user in mind, so the phone turned out to be very ergonomic. And the manufacturer achieved compactness with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and the absence of “bangs” with an aspect ratio of 18 to 9.

Second place in the rating goes to such a popular manufacturer from Korea. An excellent choice for those who are willing to spend from 6,000 to 7,000 rubles on a phone. Samsung is already 100% build quality. The 4.5-inch diagonal is for those who don’t like a huge phone. Beautiful design. Remarkable battery capacity of 2050 mAh. for a not very large display it will give more time to use without recharging; according to reviews, the battery lasts more than two days.

The Amoled screen means unconditional image quality and energy saving. Very fast internet with 4G LTE support. This is facilitated by the technical content of the device: a total memory of 8 and 1 GB - RAM, a quad-core processor with an outdated but stable version of Android 5.1 makes the smartphone trouble-free. A high-quality 5 MP camera, a 2 MP front camera and the ability to shoot video provide a full opportunity to communicate on social networks and in life.

The software pleases with the absence of freezes, lags and brakes. The Snapdragon 450 processor is powerful enough for daily and light gaming tasks, and at the same time has modest battery consumption. Therefore, in combination with a 3.3 Ah battery and economical HD+ screen resolution, the duration offline mode can exceed three days.

The model is already over a year old, and during this testing time it has proven itself to be one of the best quality phones in a budget of up to 10,000 rubles. The body is made of plastic and metal, and it is durable enough to withstand everyday falls. The screen is not covered with an anti-scratch coating, so for safety it is better to stick a protective glass on it.

Reliable operation of the operating system
Country: USA
Average price: 21,900 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

This is the most budget smartphone on iOS, which has not lost its relevance in 2019. The model is definitely not suitable for gamers and those who are demanding on hardware, but it will appeal to those who use a smartphone for such daily tasks: surfing the Internet, calls, correspondence in instant messengers, light gaming, watching videos.

The model boasts a smooth interface, well-optimized software, and no freezes or lags. And it's also compact. This is the best smartphone for users who are not ready to put up with the fashion for elongated 6-inch shovels. NFC is in place, the matrix is ​​chic, the body is durable - made of aluminum, there is a fingerprint scanner. A serious drawback that cannot be mitigated is the short battery life.

Average price: 34,900 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

The third place in the ranking of the highest quality premium smartphones is occupied by the Galaxy S8. The model was presented at the beginning of 2017. While on the shelf, all possible shortcomings were identified, the firmware was updated several times, and now we have a very high-quality phone with a minimal percentage of defects and high reliability. And yes, you can rest assured - samsung batteries no longer explode!

In terms of filling, we have a typical 2017 flagship. Inside, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 is installed paired with 4 GB of RAM - the figures are not record-breaking, but for the vast majority of users this combination will be enough for several years of trouble-free operation. In addition to the filling, the chic frameless 5.8-inch display attracts attention. The diagonal is large, but due to minimal horizontal and completely absent vertical frames (the display extends onto the side edges), the dimensions of the device remain relatively compact. The Galaxy S8 is also worth praising for having one of the best cameras on the market, dust and moisture protection, and fast wireless charging.

In reviews, it is difficult for users to find objective shortcomings of the model - this is one of the highest quality, reliable and powerful smartphones in 2019.

The main caveat is that not all developers have adapted their applications to the increased screen resolution. This is a matter of time, and this fact does not affect the functionality, but only the aesthetics - the program interface has become a little larger. The battery lasts a full day - for iPhones this is really a lot. The operating system is as convenient as possible: swipes speed up the process and increase the convenience of one-handed operation, presentation modes in the photo album allow you to create photo masterpieces and well-designed collections in a couple of clicks.

Average price: 59,689 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

Opens the rating presented in the fall of 2017 iPhone of the year 8. The smartphone received a large number of innovations, among which the most noticeable was the change in the body material - from now on it is glass. But don’t think that the smartphone has become more fragile. On the contrary, judging by many “crash tests”, resistance to falls and scratches has increased significantly.

The most reliable smartphones, time-tested

3 ASUS Zenfone Max Pro (M2) ZB631KL 4/64GB

Best price
Country: Taiwan
Average price: 16910 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6

Beautiful, fast and harmonious smartphone. Inexpensive and therefore extremely interesting. The model has not gained much popularity, and this is strange: the software is optimized, there are no bugs, the hardware is great, photography skills are not bad, the screen is excellent, battery life is at a sufficient level (5000 mAh battery). NFC and other wireless interfaces are in place. The manufacturer does not forget about his brainchild - he regularly updates the software.

The case is durable, but cannot resist scratches - without a case, you will quickly “renew” the delicate coating of the back panel. The peculiarity of the model is that it is based on pure Android. This means that you will not find alien programs in the menu, and in the settings - atypical sliders and checkboxes. For lovers of minimalism and those who are looking for something high-quality and reliable for reasonable money, this is the best option. You will only have to put up with the micro-USB port and the tendency of the case to be scratched.

2 Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB

The best ratio of price and quality
Country: South Korea
Average price: 44,300 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7

An excellent flagship of 2018, which after more than a year of operation has not revealed its hidden shortcomings. One of the most optimized, it shows top results in synthetic tests and is not prone to slowdowns and bugs. Reviews are full of praise for the gorgeous screen, performance, photo capabilities, sound, and water resistance.

There are a small number of owners who complain about loss of communication. A pattern emerged - all users used both SIM cards with the checkbox turned on next to the line “Dual SIM in active mode.” The problem appeared on a few models, so even taking into account this significant drawback, the phone deserves the title of one of the highest quality. One more thing - don't expect amazing battery life from the S9. The battery is the weak point of the model. With moderate active use, the battery will last a day, and if you do not let go of the gadget, make sure that there is a charged power bank or outlet nearby.

Time-tested reliability
Country: China
Average price: 29,900 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8

A smartphone that is very loved by users from all over the world. The reason for everyone’s adoration lies not only in the inexpensive price with powerful characteristics, but also in the detailed development of the software, and operation without glitches and slowdowns. The model runs on Android 7.1, which is improved with a proprietary shell from 1+. The phone looks great even by the standards of 2019 - thin frames, no unibrow, a large diagonal of 6 inches, a dual main camera and stylish colors. There is a 3.5 mm minijack.

In reviews, 5T owners reveal their cards: for for a long time operation they did not reveal any problems with the software. The device does not lag or slow down. The only thing they complain about is the slippery body and lack of moisture protection. But there is an excellent AMOLED display, good battery life and a rich supply package - the box contains a case, a power adapter with support for fast charging, and a factory-made film for the screen. This is the best of the highest quality phones that are time-tested and still relevant.
