Despite the whole
crowd of fans of smartphones from Xiaomi, Honor, Huawei, and Apple, the number
of fans of smartphones from the South Korean brand Samsung is not decreasing.
Moreover, the company holds a stable first place in sales - 79.8 million units of
smartphones were sold in 2020, which is 1.6 million more than in 2019. Growth
is also predicted in 2021 since at the end of 2020 the company released many
successful models that fully meet the needs of consumers. Our review includes
the 10 most popular models from all price categories. We'll start with the
cheapest models and end with the expensive ones. We will touch on the latest
innovations for 2020-2021, which are gaining momentum in sales.
Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra
The 2020 device tops our ranking, which brings together the top 10 best
Samsung smartphones in terms of price and quality. The device is still relevant
in 2021 and can rub the nose of many new products. Experts hold a similar
opinion.
The model has a trendy design of reliable premium materials, 2K display
with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and a diagonal of 6.9 inches, top photo
capabilities with 5x optical zoom, and an excellent wired sensor of 108 MP,
which take quality pictures even in difficult lighting conditions, as well as a
stylus S-Pen.
Also worth mentioning is the stereo sound - it is loud, clear, and
surround due to the low frequencies. The only thing you can criticize the model
for - fast charging. Its power here is only 25 watts, which by the standards of
the flagship is very modest.
Samsung Galaxy M01 3/32 Gb
Before us is the most affordable smartphone from the entire review, which costs no more
than 132 dollar. He received a dual-camera 13 + 2 MP
with a depth sensor, live focus, digital zoom 8x, and manual mode. The front camera
is simpler - it uses a single module with a resolution of 5 megapixels without
autofocus. The smartphone is based on the entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 439
processor. The developers have installed 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of user memory.
It is possible to install a memory card of up to 512 GB. The capacity of the
standard battery is 4000 mAh, the battery life is 2-3 days, depending on the
intensity of use. The smartphone screen is made based on a PLT-matrix with a
diagonal of 5.7 inches and a resolution of 720 * 1520 px. Thanks to the small
size of the display, the overall dimensions of the device have been reduced.
The weight of the smartphone is only 168 grams. Smartphone advantages: Compact
design; One-finger control due to the small screen diagonal; Fast work of the
interface. Among the shortcomings, the photo quality is not the highest, which
corresponds to the price category of a smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
When compared, the model differs favorably from the base version. It has
a larger 6.9-inch screen, as well as more advanced photosensors. For example,
the main sensor has an extension of 108 MP, not 12 MP, and a 48 MP TV can shoot
with a quadruple optical zoom. The device comes with not only basic
accessories, but also chic AKG headphones. Mention is worth a more capacious
battery - 5000 mAh with support for 45-watt fast wired charging. If these
moments play an important role for you - it is worth overpaying. However, for
most users, the S20's functionality will suffice.
Samsung Galaxy A12 3 / 32GB
The smartphone received a 6.5-inch display with HD + resolution. In its
upper part, there is a cutout for the front 8MP camera, created for selfies. On
the reverse side, we see an advanced camera with four sensors - the main one at
48 megapixels, ultra-wide-angle at 5 megapixels, macro at 2 megapixels, and a
depth sensor at 2 megapixels. The maximum shooting angle is 123 degrees.
The filling of the smartphone is quite simple - an eight-core MediaTek
Helio P35 processor, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of user memory are installed
onboard. Also on sale, there is a more expensive modification with 4/64 GB of
memory. To support a more stable operation of the smartphone, an automatic
system for cleaning the file system and RAM from junk files is provided. The
3.5 mm headphone jack has not gone anywhere - feel free to connect any. For
fans of contactless payments, an NFC module is provided. The onboard battery
capacity is 5000 mAh.
Smartphone advantages:
Talk time - up to 34 hours
Internet browsing time via Wi-Fi - up to 19 hours
Ideal for surfing, instant messengers, and social networks.
Samsung Galaxy S20
A very successful flagship that is praised by both browsers and regular
users. With the flagship processor, it has a compact size of 151.7 x 69.1 x 7.9
mm, which allows you to handle the device with one hand, as well as premium
case materials (aluminum and glass). The 6.2-inch screen produce
s a picture in
2K resolution with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
The triple camera includes a 64-megapixel TV that shoots with triple
hybrid zoom. There are stereo speakers that produce low-frequency saturated
sound and a flash drive slot, which is missing in many flagships. In addition
to 25-watt fast charging, there is 15-watt wireless.
Samsung Galaxy A31 64GB
This smartphone can be called universal due to a wide user audience -
these are retirees, middle-aged people, young people, and teenage
schoolchildren. It is not suitable unless for advanced gamers - toys with rich
graphics, he will not pull, but will cope with many others. The developers
installed a MediaTek Helio P65 processor with a Mali-G52 graphics chip, 4 GB of
RAM, and 64 GB storage with the ability to install a micro-SD card in a
separate slot. The device also received an AMOLED display with a diagonal of
6.4 inches, under which there is a fingerprint scanner. The smartphone is
powered by a 5000 mAh battery with support for fast charging.
The four lenses of the main camera with a resolution of 48 + 8 + 5 + 5
megapixels shoot any kind of photos - ultra-wide-angle, macro, night photos,
and portraits with a blurred background. It offers users a digital zoom 8X. The
front camera for selfies is 20MP. Both cameras shoot video with a resolution of
1920 * 1080 px at 30 frames/sec
Smartphone advantages:
NFC support for contactless payments
Sensitive navigation
Charges up to 100% in an hour and a half.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite
A step away from getting on the top podium, where Samsung's best
smartphones are assembled, the Galaxy Note 10 Lite stopped. This is the first
gadget with a telephoto lens in our ranking. It has a resolution of 12 MP, the
same as the main sensor with ultra-wide. Another feature of the model is the
presence of a stylus, which expands the functionality of the device. And
herewith productivity here things go so-so: Exynos 9810 gains in AnTuTu only
260 thousand points that is level of smartphones almost twice cheaper. So, we
do not recommend buying a model for games.
Samsung Galaxy M21
One of the most advanced mid-range smartphones. A camera with three
modules was installed in it - a 48-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel
ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor. There is no optical
stabilizer and optical zoom (there is electronic stabilization), but video
recording with 4K resolution is implemented. Additional functions - stitching
panoramic photos, shooting food, night shooting, slow motion video, creating
hyper-lapse. For taking selfies, there is a front camera with a 20-megapixel
module and beautification functions.
The smartphone received a proprietary Samsung Exynos 9611 processor with
a core frequency of up to 2.3 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of user memory.
There is also a model with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of user memory, but it
has a higher cost. I am pleased with the presence of an impressive 6000 mAh
battery - you can watch videos for 29 hours in a row or talk for up to 44
hours. An NFC chip is provided with support for payment systems Google Pay and
Samsung Pay. There is a full slot for installing two SIM cards and a memory
card up to 512 GB at the same time.
Smartphone advantages:
High brightness screen with support for AOD function
A large amount of memory
Autonomy up to two days
Disadvantages:
The poor sound quality in headphones
Marked case
In general, the smartphone turned out to be decent, and the last problem
is solved by purchasing a cover.
