Кожного місяця ми бачимо нові смартфони, які надходять від різних виробників. Усі вони роблять все можливе, щоб завоювати серця клієнтів. Деякі моделі досягають успіху, а інші – не. Але очевидно одне – є товари для кожної групи користувачів.

As usual, we present the latest smartphones that most suit the requirements of students. In fact, when we say "best phones for students", the first thing that comes to our mind is the low price. But this is no longer relevant.

Students need and want stylish, powerful smartphones at a price to match. They should also be up to date and take great photos. With all the above features in mind, we present the latest models that best meet these points.

The best gaming phones for students

In early April, Lenovo released its own gaming smartphone in person Lenovo Legion 2 Pro. Inside, it carries the Snapdragon 888, and also received a cooling system that includes a pair of turbines with independent air ducts. Plus on the back panel we can find a special protrusion where the coolers are located. Thanks to these features, the phone scores 855 points in AnTuTu.

This phone also features a 6,92-inch 144Hz AMOLED display. Its key parameters include FullHD+ resolution, HDR10+, 720Hz response rate and 1300 peak brightness not. However, the most interesting thing is the front camera. There is no notch on the front as the phone uses a 44MP pop-out camera on the right. On the opposite side, it has a triple camera consisting of 64MP + 16MP (depth) + 2MP (close).

Finally, the Lenovo Legion 2 Pro packs a 5500mAh battery magician та підтримує швидку зарядку на 90 Вт (45 Вт для кожного з двох портів USB Type-C). Початкова ціна – 565 доларів.

Much later sub brand Xiaomi released its own gaming smartphone, which changed the rules for itself. Not only is it the thinnest gaming smartphone at 8,29mm, but it costs just 1999 yuan ($308). As you can guess, we are talking about improved gaming version of Redmi K40.

Redmi K40 Gaming Enhanced Edition has a premium OLED screen. It also supports 1,07 billion colors, a high refresh rate of 120Hz, simultaneous sampling rate up to 480Hz for three-finger touch.

The phone has a metal frame but a glass body. On the side, we have a button that can turn the phone into a gaming monster in seconds.

Under the hood, the improved gaming version of the Redmi K40 is equipped with a Dimensity 1200 processor. In AnTuTu, the phone scores more than 720 points. In addition, it uses Redmi's exclusive heat dissipation technology. It has 000mm² aerospace composite thermal film that can reduce body temperature by 11540°C in seconds. The Redmi K2 gaming phone is also the first to use heat-dissipating boron nitride to resolve the 40G signal-to-heat contention.

The camera on the back includes a 64-megapixel main sensor, a 120-degree wide-angle lens, and a 40mm macro lens. Around them we can see a special flash that also serves as a notification signal.

The best folding screen smartphones for students

In April, we saw only one folding smartphone, and this is the first folding model, namely the Xiaomi Xiaomi MIX Fold. Xiaomi has launched this phone after many delays. But we have to admit that this is one of the best options on the market, although not perfect. Anyway, before we dive into its key features, you should know that the lowest configuration variant costs 9 yuan ($999).

As you should know, it uses an internal complex structure. Internal display 8,01-inch true full 2K screen with 2480 x 1860 resolution. 4:3 aspect ratio, 387 PPI, HDR10+, 600 nits brightness, etc. There is also a 6,52-inch external AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2520 × 840 and a refresh rate of 90 Hz.

Що стосується камер, то Xiaomi MIX Fold оснащений 108-мегапіксельною основною камерою (Samsung HM2), яка супроводжується 13-мегапіксельним 123° ультраширококутним об’єктивом та 8-мегапіксельним еквівалентним 80 мм телефото-макрооб’єктивом.

Under the hood, it also packs a 5020mAh battery with 67W fast charging. There is also a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip paired with LPDDR5 + UFS 3.1.

The best camera phones for students

In the last days of 2020, Xiaomi released the phone Mi 11, which became the first smartphone with Snapdragon 888. But after a few months, it improved the existing model and presented a real flagship Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. Хоча цей телефон може похвалитися багатьма дивовижними характеристиками, ми здогадуємось, що він отримав усі лаври тільки завдяки своїй видатній камері. До речі, нині (квітень 2021 р.) Mi 11 Pro очолює список DxO.

 

Key features of the phone include a 6,81-inch AMOLED full-screen display with a number of top-end options, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 platform, new solid-liquid-gas heat transfer, 5000 battery magician, which supports fast charging and much more.

However, the main feature of this phone is its camera. Let's not stop at the 20-megapixel selfie module. Instead, we should pay more attention to the rear camera. It consists of a 50-megapixel lens with a size of 1 / 1,12 inches and is the largest size in the industry approaching 1 inch for the first time. The pixel size is 1,4 μm. We also have a 13MP 123° ultra wide angle об’єктив та 8-мегапіксельний телескопічний об’єктив із 50-кратним збільшенням.

By the way, this phone supports the first technology multiple choice samples (up to 6 readings for noise reduction), full pixel octa core focus DP Pro plus to 64-point ToF focus, Xiaomi independently developed the night owl algorithm (AI deep learning 8-frame photo fusion simulation (30 seconds exposure) and continues to support double ISO Fusion. The main sensor, Samsung GN2, also supports 8K at 24 frames per second, HDR10.

The starting price of the phone is 4999 yuan ($760).

For a long time, they say that according to rumors ZTE Axon 30 Ultra will be the first smartphone on Snapdragon 888 with underscreen camera And although we didn't see the mentioned technology at the time of its launch, it is the world's first smartphone with three main cameras. The ZTE Axon 30 Ultra is equipped with a 6,67-inch OLED panel with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The touch sampling rate is 300Hz, it offers FHD+ resolution, HDR10+ and 3% DCI-P100 coverage.

Inside, it packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and runs Android 11 out of the box. The phone is powered by a 4600 battery magician, which supports fast charging at 66 W.

У будь-якому випадку, його найбільшим плюсом є модуль з чотирма камерами. Основним датчиком є ​​64-мегапіксельна CMOS-камера Sony IMX686, що має OIS, і діафрагму f / 1.6. Другий датчик має роздільну здатність 64 Мп, а також трохи довший об’єктив із фокусом 35 мм та діафрагмою f / 1,9. Нарешті, є третій 64-мегапіксельний датчик із 120° FOV та 13-міліметровим об’єктивом. Ця камера може записувати відео зі швидкістю до 8K@30fps. Всі ці 64-мегапіксельні датчики мають молодшого брата, 8-мегапіксельну камеру зі 123 мм та OIS. Однак цей об’єктив може забезпечити 5-кратне оптичне збільшення.

It costs 4700 yuan ($720).

The most powerful phones for students

Xiaomi mi 11 ultra caused a lot of discussion. Of course, its main difference is the secondary screen on the back. But there are not many scenarios in which it can be used. So the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra should be seen as a high-end smartphone that wants to make a difference in its niche.

The look, materials and processes used show that Xiaomi has put a lot of effort into making a smartphone that looks its best. And we have to admit it. But if you think that the secondary screen is only for a few notifications, you should know that it supports "desert survival mode". It can turn off background viewing and main apps and only use the secondary screen. As a result, a 10% battery charge can provide a standby time of 55 hours.

Many features are identical to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro. So we won't list them anymore. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra starts at 5999 yuan ($913).

Sony is not in the smartphone market for revenue. She just wants to keep her finger on the pulse. So, when a company announces a new smartphone, we should take it as a showcase of what it has to offer to mainstream smartphone makers. In this regard Sony Xperia 1III shows the power of Sony.

The phone uses a 21:9 screen, a metal frame and a glass back panel. The screen is the biggest plus of this phone. So we should focus more on that. The Sony Xperia 1 III comes with the world's first 6,5-inch CinemaWide 4K HDR 21:9 OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone also supports the X1 remastering technology borrowed from Sony's Bravia TV series. In addition, it supports Bravia HDR as well as DolbyAtmos.

Другий плюс цього телефону — це камера. Xperia 1 III використовує перископічну систему масштабування. Крім того, у нього є телеоб’єктив із можливістю масштабування, який можна перемикати між двома фокусними відстанями 70 мм і 105 мм. Його технологія автофокусування походить від професійних камер Sony Alpha. Цей телефон забезпечує найкращі характеристики знімання. Отже, ми думали, в яку категорію це потрапило. Але це не випадково. Sony Xperia 1 III була спільно розроблена інженерами недзеркальних камер серії Alpha 9.

Що стосується датчиків камери, смартфон оснащений 12-мегапіксельним 1 / 2.9-дюймовим датчиком Sony із діафрагмою f / 2.3 або f / 2.8 залежно від використовуваної фокусної відстані та оптичної стабілізації зображення. У нас також є 12-мегапіксельний 1 / 1,7-дюймовий датчик у поєднанні з об’єктивом f / 1,7 OIS, тоді як ультраширокий сенсор використовує 12-мегапіксельний 1 / 2,6-дюймовий CMOS, діафрагму f / 2,2 та автофокус, що не так часто зустрічається у надшироких модулях навіть серед флагманів.

Під капотом у нього є чипсет Snapdragon 888 5G. Xperia 1 III має додатково 12 Гб пам’яті та 256 Гб / 512 Гб флешпам’яті.

Якщо говорити про потужні телефони, то, звичайно, Snapdragon 888 не має собі рівних. Але MediaTek здатний робити хороші флагманські чипи. Dimensity 1200 – найкращий доказ. Тож ми вирішили також включити Realm GT Neo to the list

Realme GT Neo features a 6,43-inch Super AMOLED panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ and 360Hz touch sampling rate.

As already mentioned, it is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset, which is manufactured using a 6nm architecture. The SoC contains one Cortex-A78 core clocked at up to 3 GHz plus three Cortex-A78 cores clocked at up to 2,6 GHz and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at up to 2 GHz. To keep things cool, the company used double graphite plates and liquid cooling.

Решта функцій також вражають. Скажімо, він оснащений модулем з декількома камерами, включаючи основний модуль на 64 Мп, 8-мегапіксельний ультраширококутний об’єктив та макросенсор на 2 Мп. Телефон має акумулятор 4500 мАг, що підтримує зарядку 50 Вт.

Початкова ціна – 1799 юанів (275 доларів).

The cheapest phones for students

After the Realme GT Neo, we don't even know what smartphone to present to make it look attractive. Maybe we should introduce phones priced around $100.

Recently, Poco released Little M2 Reloaded. It features a Helio G80 processor, a 6,53-inch display with a FullHD+ resolution (2340 × 1080 pixels), a 5000mAh battery that supports 18W charging, an 8MP selfie camera, and an independent microSD card slot.

 

Камера на задній панелі складається з 13-мегапіксельного основного датчика, 8-мегапіксельного датчика, 5-мегапіксельного макрооб’єктива та 2-мегапіксельного датчика глибини. Це коштує лише 126 доларів.

Ще одна цікава модель – Nokia G10. The Nokia G10 is equipped with a 13-megapixel primary camera accompanied by a 2-megapixel macro and 2-megapixel depth sensor. In addition, it has an 8-megapixel selfie module. Under the hood, the Nokia G10 comes with the Helio G25. Also, we have a 5050 battery magician.

Nokia G10 is equipped with a 6,5-inch LCD display with HD+ resolution and "drop".

The latest smartphone is not only on this list, but also in this category Samsung Galaxy F12

Всередині у ньому розміщений Exynos 850 SoC, 4 ГБ оперативної пам’яті та флеш-накопичувач на 64/128 ГБ. Також є 8-мегапіксельна селфі-камера та задня four-chamber camera, consisting of 48-megapixel (Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM2, f / 2.0) + 5MP (wide, f / 2.2) + 2 MP (close) + 2 MP (depth sensor).

One of the selling points is the 6000 battery magician, що підтримує зарядку 15 Вт. Початкова ціна – 150 доларів.

I have always been interested in IT technologies. And since my previous many years of professional activity (which is design and pre-press preparation) is not possible without their help, it so happened that everything that was related to computers (for example, collecting and modernizing "hardware", as well as configuring software ) I always had to do it myself.

Well, with the advent of gadgets in our lives, the scope of my interests expanded to include them as well.

I like to study and analyze the capabilities of various devices, and for many years, before buying anything new, I always study the capabilities of each potential model for a long time and carefully, spend quite a long and painstaking work, read reviews, reviews and comparisons.

The reward for my time is usually that most of the time I really do get the best of what I can get within my budget.
