It should be noted that Sony is tinkering with optimizing smartphones for MediaTek chipsets, so the Xperia M5 has been annoying customers for a long time with various "glitches", by today's standards the Helio X10 processor is slow, and it does not work at its maximum capacity in the M5. The case heats up with or without reason, the autonomy is poor. But the proprietary shell is comfortable, the cameras are of high quality, the display is bright and clear, and the prestige of such a smartphone in "glamorous" circles is much higher than that of any Huawei or Xiaomi. Official distributors are crazy and ask for old sony absolutely ridiculous 25 thousand rubles, but the "gray" sellers Xperia M5 Dual is estimated at 15-16 thousand - quite a fair price for such a model.

ZTE Nubia Z11 mini S

ZTE has a luxury division Nubia, and it, in turn, has the flagship Z11 series, which has a simplified version of the Z11 mini, which recently underwent an update in the house that Jack built. We must pay tribute to the Chinese - the Z11 mini S differs from the Z11 mini radically and only for the better.

A very nimble smartphone with a brutal body and red accents. You can't really pick on the specs: fast Snapdragon 625, 4 GB random access memory, 64 or 128 GB internal storage. And it's also nice that ZTE (whose "hands are sharpened" more for adjusting the sound path than camera algorithms) made a big gesture and equipped the Z11 mini S with a 22-megapixel rear camera based on the Sony IMX318 sensor. The same sensor is equipped with much more expensive ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe and Xiaomi Mi Note 2 in case you are not in the know.

Mobile photography has changed the world. Now every photographer, and for this it is not necessary to have a bunch of expensive equipment. Comparing pictures from three years ago with the current ones, you are amazed at how quickly cameras in smartphones are developing.

In this article, I collected best smartphones 2017 for photography.

9. Honor 9

You have two cameras at your disposal. The first is color, with a resolution of 12 megapixels and an aperture of f / 2.2. The second is monochrome at 20 megapixels and a similar aperture. As conceived by the creators, a black and white camera takes a picture with an extended dynamic range and detail, after which colors from the second module are added to the photo.

In good light, the smartphone produces sharp images with the correct white balance. Laser autofocus quickly clings, there is a 2x optical zoom without loss in quality. At night, the result is not so good - the picture becomes noisy and blurry.

Following the trends, the Honor 9 can shoot with bokeh effect. The background is blurred well, but far from perfect. Small details are often blurred, but this is a sin and more expensive smartphones.

Front camera wide-angle: 8 megapixels with f / 2.0 aperture. The quality of the images is excellent, but again only during the day. I would like a larger aperture, but for now, in low light, it's better to forget about selfies.

Honor 9 is a cool mid-budget smartphone for those who want to get more for the sane money.

The camera practically does not differ from the more expensive P10. The only thing missing is the fashionable Leica nameplate and optical stabilization.

8. Sony Xperia XZ Premium

Sony's flagship has only one camera with a 19MP wide-angle lens and f / 2.0 aperture. Optical stabilization was not delivered again, it remains to be content with digital.

The camera is nimble and takes nice pictures during the day. The picture is rich, sharp, but the impression is spoiled by the clumsy operation of the machine. During the day, he can easily illuminate the sky, and in artificial lighting, the white balance is incorrectly set.

At night, autofocus behaves nervously and constantly tries to refocus. Photos in automatic mode are noisy and soapy.

Shoot in manual mode to experience the real potential of the XZ Premium. In this case, you can turn on HDR, adjust exposure, shutter speed, focus and get flagship-level shots. The downside is that it kills all the charm mobile photo... Few will be poking around with manual settings when you need to shoot quickly here and now.

Predictive shooting does not work in manual mode. The camera takes 1-3 frames even before you press the shutter. As a result, you will get 3-4 pictures, from which you can choose the best one. The idea is interesting, but the smartphone does it automatically and when it sees fit.

In XZ Premium good 13 megapixel widescreen front camera. Suitable for sharing selfies, and the result is decent in all lighting conditions.

And the main highlight is the world's first smartphone to shoot super slow motion video at 960 fps. It looks impressive, but, as for me, play around a couple of times. Videos are a lot, it's hard to get a smooth picture without optical stabilization. Only 0.18 second pieces are recorded, which are stretched into 6-second clips.

For all its advantages, XZ Premium will only be chosen by true fans of the brand.

7. LG G6

The LG G6 has two cameras, each with 13MP. The first - with an aperture of f / 1.8 - received phase detection autofocus and optical stabilization. The second is a 125-degree wide-angle lens and an f / 2.4 aperture.

The wide angle for the second camera seems to be more useful than the notorious bokeh. It is perfect for shooting architecture, landscapes, joint photos with friends. On other smartphones, you will have to shoot a panorama for this, which is not always convenient.

But for an ultra-wide angle, you have to pay off with distortion (barrel effect). In addition, the second camera lacks autofocus and optical stabilization. Because of this, pictures are often out of focus.

The main camera takes good photos. Optical stabilization works as it should, no shake. The picture comes out clear, with the correct color rendition. The LG G6 has HDR enabled by default in auto mode. This allows you to preserve more detail in the light and dark areas of the frame.

The front camera has only 5 megapixels and an f / 2.2 aperture. A strange decision for a flagship - the results are worse than many mid-budget smartphones. Even a wide-angle lens of 100 degrees does not save - the quality of the images leaves much to be desired.

The LG G6 is an interesting smartphone, but the camera is not its strongest point. Therefore, only 7th place.

6. Samsung Galaxy S8

The camera in the Galaxy S8 is not particularly new compared to its predecessor. But at the same time it remains one of the best on the market.

The smartphone has the only 12 megapixel module with optical stabilization and Dual Pixel technology for fast autofocus. The f / 1.7 aperture allows for very cool shots in low light conditions. Night photos at the top Samsung smartphones reference.

That being said, do not expect Galaxy cameras S8 realistic pictures. It will be cool, juicy, but far from the gray reality. The camera algorithms aggressively distort the image to eliminate any imperfection. Good or bad is a matter of taste.

What's really cool is the front-facing camera. It has a resolution of 8 megapixels, intelligent autofocus and f / 1.7 aperture. Not all smartphones have such high-aperture optics, even in the main camera.

The result is stunning selfies at any time of the day and under any conditions. The lens has a wide enough angle so that you can comfortably take pictures of the company.

Considering the current price of the Galaxy S8, this is one of the best mobile cameras on the market.

4. iPhone 8 Plus

I have been using the plus version of the iPhone for three years because of its photo capabilities. In the iPhone 8 Plus, there have been no major changes compared to its predecessor. But the camera has gotten a little better in everything.

There are still two 12 megapixel modules here. First telephoto lens with ƒ / 2.8 aperture. The second is a wide-angle ƒ / 1.8 aperture. Alas, the telephoto lens did not acquire optical stabilization, as well as an increased aperture. This is the prerogative of the iPhone X.

Changes in the iPhone 8 Plus affected the lens system and sensor matrix, improved post-processing algorithms for photos.

In fact, 8-figure shots are brighter, more contrasting and richer. The camera renders colors more accurately, skin tones in portraits have become more realistic. In general, everything is good with the white balance of eight, in this regard it makes many competitors.

HDR performance has become better, it is now always in automatic mode. Previously, you had to constantly turn it on manually, which sometimes infuriated.

The focus is more accurate and faster, the pictures are sharper. This is especially noticeable when the image is enlarged.

In low light, the picture is more detailed, but the quality and quantity of noise is inferior to the HTC U11.

IPhone 8 Plus introduces new Portrait Lighting modes that don't just blur the background, but simulate different lighting schemes. The thing is cool, but so far it works crookedly. For now, because this is not the final version yet and will work better over time.

The regular portraits of the iPhone 8 Plus are great. The background blurs fairly accurately, focuses correctly on objects. By the way, the lighting scheme can now be changed after you take the picture. So there is room for creativity.

And it also made sense in Live Photo. Now you can make a gif of them or choose the best frame. A kind of analogue of burst shooting, which is useful for photographing moving objects.

The front camera has not changed compared to the 7 Plus. The same 7 megapixel with ƒ / 2.2 aperture. The pictures are normal, but they are noisy in low light. I would like the camera angle to be wider, the Galaxy S8 is more interesting in this regard.

What can I say, this is the most popular camera in the world, and deservedly so. The changes are not drastic, but the pictures are better.

3. Samsung Galaxy Note 8

A huge flagship from Samsung, which left positive emotions.

The smartphone has two 12 megapixel cameras. The first module is wide-angle with f / 1.7 aperture. The second is a telephoto lens with an f / 2.4 aperture. Both have optical image stabilization so that even 2x zoom is sharp.

The camera blurs the background beautifully, and the degree of blur can be adjusted both before and after the shutter is released. Pictures are saved from both cameras.

The bokeh itself seemed to me not as natural as on the iPhone. But, perhaps, it will be improved further programmatically.

At daylight photographs delight with excellent detail and bright colors. Yes, the oversaturation is still there, but the pictures are still cool. On the spot and oversharp, it is especially noticeable in low light, when the noise begins to actively work.

Automatic HDR works well in both artificial and natural light.

Night shots, as always, are at their best, few can compete with them. The picture is contrasting, sharp even when viewed from a computer.

Front camera Galaxy Note 8 aperture as the main one - f / 1.7, 8 megapixel resolution. There is autofocus, the image quality is top-notch, everything is at the level of the Galaxy S8.

In general, I was satisfied with the camera and did not find any obvious shortcomings. Only the huge size of the smartphone can push away, but that's another story.

2. iPhone X

The main camera of the iPhone X is almost the same as in the iPhone 8 Plus. Optical stabilization is now in both modules, and the telephoto lens aperture has been increased from f2.8 to f2.4. What does it do?

Pictures are always sharp when zoomed in. Previously, the picture used to be blurry at 2x zoom. Especially if the little hands are shaking, which is no wonder in such cold weather. It's easier to shoot in portrait mode. No shake, focused and got a cool portrait.

Thanks to the increased aperture of the telephoto lens, portraits are not so dependent on lighting. The picture became less noisy even in the evening under artificial lighting. A dozen retains more detail, small elements look sharper.

In terms of color and dynamic range, the iPhone X delivers similar results to the iPhone 8 Plus. True, viewing pictures is more interesting with the iPhone X - the OLED screen makes the already bright photos livelier and more saturated.

The changes also affected front camera... Selfies can now be captured with blurred backgrounds thanks to the True Depth sensor. Various studio lighting modes are available, but the result is not always successful.

I feel like the iPhone X and Galaxy Note 8 are roughly equal. The former has better color rendition and portrait mode. The second shows itself perfectly in night photography and selfies.

1. Google Pixel 2

Best mobile camera 2017 Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. They are identical.

The smartphones have one 12.2 megapixel camera with f / 1.8 aperture. Google decided that two modules are not needed for cool portraits. Blurring of the background is obtained only with software.

The background is really effectively blurred, but certain conditions must be observed. For example, get rid of small accessories like glasses, do not take off in windy weather with flying hair. Otherwise, the camera will overwrite them.

It is better to photograph at close range close-up. If you want to shoot to the waist, you have to give up bokeh. In that iPhone plan less fastidious.

On the other hand, when done right, the photos are amazing. Oddly enough, the blur looks more natural than on the iPhone X. The main thing is that all this is the work of a neural network that is learning all the time. I think that in six months there will be fewer restrictions, and the quality of the images is better.

Smartphones have optical stabilization and Dual Pixel phase detection autofocus. The camera has a wide dynamic range, no matter if you are shooting on a sunny day or already at dusk. Autofocus is extremely fast, even surpassing that of the Note 8 in speed.

Automation sets the correct white balance both on the street and in a visit. The picture is juicy, bright, the colors are correct, without kinks.

The front camera is 8-megapixel, it also gives excellent pictures. Portrait mode works here as well, and no depth sensor is needed. The only thing - they could have installed faster optics: the f / 2.4 aperture is not enough in the evening.

In the end, Google managed to make a really cool smartphone for mobile photography. Although, to be honest, sometimes you have to strain to get a high-quality picture. This is especially true for portraits.

In this regard, I like the iPhone X better. Everything is simple and clear there, but the quality of the images is inferior, albeit insignificantly.

Cameras mobile devices are constantly approaching the level of full-fledged cameras in their capabilities. To improve the quality of images, the developers equip them with all the "adult" attributes. First, there was a flash (LED or xenon), then contrast autofocus was added. In the 2010s, smartphone cameras gained the ability to shoot in RAW, phase and laser autofocus systems, and image stabilization (electronic or optical).

A smartphone with optical image stabilization is equipped with a special camera gimbal and motion and position sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope). When oscillations occur during shooting, the sensors give a signal to the stabilizer, which finely adjusts the position of the matrix. This eliminates camera movements that will blur the picture if the hand trembles when the shutter is pressed. This collection contains smartphones with optical stabilization, released in 2016.

Samsung Galaxy S7, S7 Edge and Galaxy Note 7 are an impressive trio

Released in February 2016 of the year Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are the new flagships of the Korean manufacturer with optical stabilization. They received a significantly redesigned camera based on Sony modules Exmor IMX / Samsung S5K2L1, with a 12 MP matrix 1 / 2.5 ". In August they were joined by the Galaxy Note 7 phablet, which has an enlarged screen, but almost identical hardware (including the camera module). 5 MP, with an aperture of f / 1.7, no stabilization.

Smartphones received AMOLED screens with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, and diagonals 5.1 ", 5.5" and 5.7 "(S7, S7 Edge, Note 7, respectively). The S7 has a flat one, the rest - curved at the edges. All smartphones work on an octa-core Exynos 8890 or quad-core Snapdragon 820 and 4GB of RAM, 32GB or 64GB of storage, expandable with a MicroSD card. Android base 6 with the TouchWiz shell.

The battery capacity of smartphones is 3000, 3600 and 3500 mAh, respectively. All three units have IP68 certified waterproof enclosures. Both Galaxy S7s have a MicroUSB port that supports OTG, the Note 7 uses USB Type C.

Xiaomi Mi5 is a beautiful flagship from China

Together with Samsung, Xiaomi also showed its flagship in February 2016. He received a camera with a Sony IMX298 matrix that supports optical image stabilization. Its resolution is 16 MP, the diagonal is 1 / 2.8 ", the pixel size is 1.12 microns. The camera is equipped with optics with aperture of f / 2. The front is 4 MP - the same as used in Htc one M7 as the main one.

The IPS screen of Xiaomi Mi5 has a diagonal of 5.15 "and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The" heart "of Xiaomi Mi5 is a quad-core Snapdragon 820, with graphics Adreno 530. The smartphone has 3 or 4 GB of RAM, 32, 64 or 128 GB of flash memory. memory cards, traditionally for flagship Xiaomi, No. Smartphone OS - Android 6 with MIUI 7 add-on (there is an update to 8).

The Xiaomi Mi5 battery has a capacity of 3000mAh. It should be enough for a day of use in active mode. In general, the device deserves attention, since there are few worthy competitors for this money (about $ 400).

HTC 10 - balanced TOP

Another flagship of 2016, equipped with a camera with optical stabilization - HTC 10. It was released in April, the price of the smartphone is about $ 700. The novelty was equipped with a Sony IMX377 "ultrapixel" matrix, 1 / 2.3 "in size and a resolution of 12 MP. The optics has an aperture ratio of F / 1.8. The 5 MP front camera has the same aperture, optical stabilization and pixels increased to 1.3 microns.

Display HTC 10 - SUPER LCD, with a size of 5.2 "and a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels. The processor is standard for most flagships in 2016 - Snapdragon 820. The smartphone has 4 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of built-in storage. There is a slot for a memory card, it is separate OS HTC 10 - Android 6 with Sense shell.

The capacity of the non-removable battery is 3000 mAh, it will be enough for a day of active smartphone operation. HTC 10 is a powerful and balanced smartphone. It copes with any task, as it embodies all the ideas of the One M series, but brought to a more perfect look.

OnePlus 3 - "flagship killer", take 3

OnePlus 3 was released in June 2016 and costs about $ 500. The device was equipped with the same IMX298 camera as was previously used in Xiaomi Mi5. There is optical stabilization, the aperture remains the same (f / 2), that is, no one has made any changes to the design of the module, the original Sony development is used. Front camera - 8 MP, most likely IMX179.

The screen of OnePlus 3 has a diagonal of 5.5 ", with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Such matrices are already in twice cheaper devices, so FullHD does not cause delight - just good screen... The OnePlus 3 processor is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820, which makes the smartphone the top 10 most powerful smartphone for July 2016. RAM - as much as 6 GB, built-in storage - 64 GB. Because of this, the lack of a microSD card slot is a bit upsetting. The gadget is based on Oxygen OS - modifications of Android 6. There are minor complications with overheating.

A non-removable 3000 mAh battery is responsible for the autonomy of the OnePlus 3, providing a day of active work. Traditionally for the OnePlus lineup there is USB port Type C. The device looks decent for its money, but resellers often set excessive markups.

Sony Xperia XA Ultra - a huge selfie camera

The Sony Xperia XA Ultra, released in May, is a phablet in the true sense of the word. It also belongs to the category of mid-range cameraphones (price - about $ 400), focused on selfies. This explains the presence of the IMX234 matrix in front, which is used as the main one on the LG G4 and G5. It is based on a 1 / 2.6 "sensor with 1.12 micron pixels, and is equipped with a flash. The rear camera is 21 MP, with a 1 / 2.4" sensor (IMX230), but optical stabilization (unlike front camera) she does not.

Sony Xperia XA Ultra is equipped with a huge IPS display 6 ", with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The chipset of the tablet is an eight-core MediaTek Helio P10, with graphics Mali T860 MP2. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, built-in 16 GB. MicroSD slot in stock. The phablet is based on Android OS 6, it is expected update to version 7.

The battery capacity is 2700 mAh, which seems insufficient for a phablet, and this is the main disadvantage of the smartphone. The second minor flaw is the Helio P10 chipset, it is put into Chinese pipes for $ 150, for $ 400 you want something more.

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro is a powerful phablet with a good battery

The Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro is a direct competitor to the previous device, but released in Korea. It was released in May 2016, priced at just over 500 USD. The device is equipped with Samsung's own S5K3L2 camera. The same matrix is ​​used in Xiaomi Redmi 3s, but there is no optical stabilization. Here it is, and the lens aperture is open to f / 1.9. The front camera is more modest than the Sony: 8 MP resolution, f / 1.9 aperture, no stabilization.

The display of the phablet is 6 ", 1920 x 1080 pixels, like the Xperia XA Ultra, but it uses not IPS, but an AMOLED matrix. The processor is an eight-core Snapdragon 652, located on the border of the middle and top class (80 thousand in AnTuTu). 4 GB, ROM - 32 GB There is a microSD slot, it is not combined with a SIM card slot.

The Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro's 5,000mAh battery is another matter. After all, the device is powerful, takes good pictures and can live for 2 days. Only the price is a little confusing: not everyone is ready to pay $ 500 for a mid-range device.

HTC One S9 is almost a flagship

HTC has never been known for the cheapness of devices, but it knows how to make good middle-class smartphones. One of them is the HTC One S9 released in May, starting at $ 300. The smartphone is equipped with a 13 MP camera, the manufacturer of which could not be specified. It has an aperture of f / 2 and supports optical image stabilization. Front camera - 4 MP, with 2 micron pixels: this is the same module on which the main one was based camera One M7.

The display of HTC One S9 has a diagonal of 5 ", its resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels. The device is powered by MediaTek Helio X10 chip, the flagship solution of last year. The volume of RAM is 2 GB, the drive has a capacity of 16 GB. A memory card slot is available. Operating system - Android 6.

The battery of the smartphone has a capacity of 2850 mAh, it will last 1-2 days of active loads, which is not bad. HTC One S9 has become a cheaper version of the One M9, is made in almost the same body and is equipped with stereo speakers. And although it is far from the flagship-2016, the device is not bad for its money.

In August 2016, ASUS released a series of ZenFone smartphones 3rd generation. The lineup includes a variety of devices, including ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra and ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe. The first smartphone costs about $ 500, the second - around 700. Both devices are equipped with 23 MP Sony IMX318 cameras with optical stabilization. Matrix size - 1 / 2.6 ", pixel size - 1 micron, aperture - f / 2. Front cameras - 8 MP, aperture - f / 2, they have no stabilization.

The hardware devices differ: ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra is a huge 6.8 "phablet, ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is more compact, 5.7". The resolution of both screens is 1920 x 1080 pixels. Ultra is powered by Snapdragon 652 (mid-range), Deluxe - Snapdragon 820. The first device has 3 or 4 GB of RAM, the second - 4 or 6 GB. ROM capacity - 32, 64 and 128 or 64, 128 and 256 GB, respectively. Slots for memory cards are available. Phablet OS - Android 6 version.

The battery capacity of ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra is 4600 mAh, ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe is 300 mAh. Indicators are adequate, as for phablets, but not record-breaking. The advantages of the devices include design, large screens (for those who buy large phablets, this is definitely a plus) and good hardware. Minus - the price is not the most democratic.

Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus - the most powerful smartphones with optical stabilization

In September 2016, the next versions of the apple flagship were presented - Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. Official prices for the iPhone 7 are higher than in the US. In the minimum configuration (32 GB), the junior version costs about $ 800, the 7 Plus will cost about $ 900. "Gray" devices are sold a hundred cheaper.

The youngest iPhone 7 is equipped with a 12MP camera, with 1.25-micrometer pixels and high-aperture optics with an aperture of f / 1.8. The iPhone 7 Plus is equipped with an additional module with the same resolution, but with closer optics with smaller viewing angles and f / 2.8 aperture. Both smartphones support optical stabilization. On the front is a 7 MP matrix.

iPhone 7 has a 4.7-inch IPS screen with, traditionally for Apple, non-standard resolution 1334x750, the 7 Plus has it increased to 5.5 ", with a FullHD matrix. The chipset is the new quad-core Apple A10, the most powerful among smartphones in 2016. The operating system of the smaller version is 2 GB, the older version has 3 GB. Built-in flash memory - 32, 128 or 256 GB, flash drives are naturally not supported OS - Apple iOS 10. The capacity of the non-removable battery is 1900 or 2900 mAh, which seems to be not very much, but consumption optimization is at a high level here.

Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 (2016) - premium series with optical stabilization

Although the Samsung Galaxy A5 and A7 were presented at the end of 2015, they went on mass sale only in 2016. The price of the younger model is now from $ 350, for the older one they ask for a little more than 400. Smartphones have similar hardware, the same 13-megapixel cameras, with OIS (optical stabilization), 1.12-micrometer cells and optics with an aperture of f / 1.9. The front camera is quite ordinary, 5 MP. The A5 model has a 5.2 "screen, the A7 has a 5.5" screen. Both displays are AMOLED, PenTile with a FullHD matrix.

The smaller smartphone has 2 GB of RAM, and the larger one has 3 GB. Other parameters are identical: an eight-core Exynos 7580 (Snapdragon 615 in the US and China version), 16 GB of memory, a microSD card slot up to 256 GB. Initially, the system on board was Android 5.1, later an update to version 6 was released. The Galaxy A5 (2016) has a 2900mAh battery, while the A7 (2016) has a 3300mAh battery.

Both smartphones do not shine with performance in games, but they demonstrate stable operation. These are cute and slim devices for those who care about design and need a good OIS camera.

Sony Xperia XA Ultra - a phablet with a selfie camera with optical stabilization

In May 2016, the Sony Xperia XA Ultra was presented - a phablet for lovers of self-portraits. The current price is from $ 350. Its main camera is based on a 1 / 2.4 "IMX230 sensor with 21 MP, has optics with aperture f / 2, and nothing special stands out. But the front camera is 16 MP, Exmor RS IMX234 (diagonal 1 / 2.6 "), also equipped with a flash, has a better F / 2 aperture and optical stabilization.

The screen is a six-inch IPS, 1920 x 1080 pixels. The chipset is MTK's eight-core Helio P10. The device has 3 GB of RAM, 16 GB of flash drive, microSD cards are supported. Operating system - Android 6, it is planned to update to version 7 of the OS. The battery capacity is not very large, only 2700 mAh.

The Xperia XA Ultra is an inexpensive phablet designed for selfie lovers. Its main camera is somewhat inferior to the front one, which may not appeal to those who shoot not only themselves. Also, a small battery, as for such a screen, is a disadvantage.

Motorola Moto Z is an ultra-thin modular flagship

In September 2016, Lenovo introduced the Motorola Moto Z - the flagship of the modular series, made in a case that is only 5.2 mm thick. The price of the smartphone is around $ 650. It is equipped with a 13-megapixel camera with a laser AF system, optical stabilization, and the optical aperture has a decent value of f / 1.8. In front there is a conventional 5 MP front camera, with pixels increased to 1.4 micrometers.

Display Motorola Moto Z - QHD, 2560x1440 pixels, and its diagonal is typical for a 5.5 ”phablet. It is produced using AMOLED technology. The Motorola Moto Z processor is no longer the top-end, but still very powerful Snapdragon 820. The system and applications are provided with 4 GB of RAM, and the capacity of the internal memory chip is 32 or 64 GB, flash drives up to 256 GB are supported. Initially preinstalled on board Android version 6, but an update to the seven has already been released. The battery capacity of the smartphone is only 2600 mAh, which is due to the small thickness.

Motorola Moto Z is good not only for optical stabilization and module support. it powerful smartphone that will suit everything. Although the battery capacity leaves much to be desired, it will last for a day, and if you want more, a plug-in external battery module will help.

HTC 10 Lifestyle - a simplified flagship with OIS

In parallel with the main model at number 10, HTC 10 Lifestyle was released in 2016. This is a lighter version of the top smartphone, which uses a more modest chipset. But the camera remains the same: 12 MP, 1 / 2.3 "sensor, 1.55 micron cells, laser autofocus and optical stabilization - everything is in place. The front matrix is ​​also very difficult: although it is 5 megapixels, but with cells of 1.34 microns, autofocus, f / 2.8 aperture and is also equipped with an optical stabilization mechanism.

HTC 10 Lifestyle is equipped with a 5.2 "screen, SuperLCD (the commercial name of one of the IPS varieties), with a resolution of 2560x1440 sufficient for VR. SoC of the device is Snapdragon 652, with 8 cores and Adreno 510 graphics. There is only one version of the gadget, 3 GB RAM and 32 GB of ROM (there are no modifications with 4/64 GB), a microSD tray is present.Android version 6 is installed, an upgrade to Nougat is planned. Autonomy is provided by a non-removable 3000 mAh battery.

HTC 10 Lifestyle - a good choice for those who want a top-end smartphone with optical stabilization, but do not care about the "parrots" in the tests. It is almost as good as the base model, but it costs less.

Huawei Mate 9 - a flagship with two cameras

In December 2016, Huawei introduced the new flagship phablet Mate 9. The official price is about $ 900. It is equipped with dual camera with 12 (IMX286) and 20 MP matrices, one of them is color, the other is black and white. There are Leica optics with aperture of f / 2.2, laser phase autofocus, optical stabilization. Another feature is hybrid zoom: due to the high resolution, the monochrome camera transmits additional details of the image, which are lost with the usual digital zoom (interpolation). The front is 8MP, with a fairly strong F / 1.9 aperture.

Display - classic IPS, 5.9 inches, with FullHD resolution. The hardware platform is Kirin 960, with 8 cores and the new Mali G71 MP8 video core. 4 GB of RAM is soldered on board, an internal drive of 64 GB, a slot for microSD drives is also provided. The smartphone is running Android OS of the seventh version. The 4000 mAh battery should provide good autonomy in daily work.

The Huawei Mate 9 is an attractive smartphone with powerful hardware, interesting camera implementation, but the $ 900 price tag is a lot. Few are willing to pay such a sum for a device of Chinese origin, even if it is Huawei.

Huawei Nova Plus - metal phablet with optical stabilization

Huawei Nova Plus was presented in September 2016 at the IFA in Germany. This is a middle-class phablet made in slim body made of aluminum. It has a 16-megapixel still camera on a 1 / 2.8 "sensor with an f / 2 lens and optical stabilization. In front there is an 8 megapixel camera with the same aperture.

Huawei Nova Plus is equipped with a 5.5 "display, based on an IPS matrix, its resolution is FullHD. The device is powered by a modern Snapdragon 625 chipset with 8 cores inside. Inside there is 3 GB of RAM, a storage - 32 GB, a MicroSD slot is also not forgotten. The operating system is Android 6. The capacity of 3340 mAh is quite normal for a device with energy efficient hardware.

Huawei Nova Plus is balanced smartphone middle level. Its body is thin, the display is good, the battery is normal, and the performance is okay. Optical image stabilization is also good news.

Top 5 smartphones that have optical camera stabilization

Availability OIS (Optical Stabilization) for a smartphone camera provides the ability to take photos of higher quality. When high-speed shooting is performed in the light of the sun, it helps to get rid of the effects of smartphone vibrations that occur when you press the shutter. When there is a lack of light, which forces you to set long shutter speeds, the benefits of OIS are even greater.

However, many manufacturers, for some reason, prefer EIS (Electronic Stabilization)... At the same time, it is not taken into account that this function has an increased sensitivity to software quality, and besides, it is necessary to allocate a certain place to the matrix for it. But in fairness, I must say that you can still find a good smartphone, whose camera has optical stability. These include the following models.

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus

The flagship of frameless models

Samsung has released the flagship of frameless smartphones, which is good in almost all respects. The diagonal of the screen, which has a configurable 3K resolution, is 6.2 inches. The memory can have a capacity of 64.0 or 128.0 GB.

The performance is provided by the top-end Exynos 8895 or Snapdrafgon 835 chipset. In addition, the gadget is packed with a variety of nice features:

• Fast charging.
• Hi-Res sound is supported.
• Protection against penetration of moisture and dust particles at the level of IP68 class.

Pleases with a smartphone and cameras. The main one has a 12.0 megapixel matrix with a size of 1: 2.5 ″. It is complemented by a DualPixe phase auto focus and an optical stability system. This allows you to do almost the most the best photos when compared to all other smartphones. Both night and day shooting are carried out without problems, videos are recorded in 4K. The front camera supports automatic focusing and video recording in QHD resolution.

In the event that you are only interested in the quality of the camera, without taking into account such bells and whistles as top-end hardware and the lack of a frame, then you can opt for the S7 device. If we compare the cameras of these models, then we can only notice the presence of cosmetic improvements.

Lovers of compactness

It hardly makes sense to talk a lot about this smartphone, because it has already been done by us and before us. The appearance of the iPhone 8, logically, should lead to lower prices for last year's smartphones, which will not make them worse. After all, all new items (with the exception of the iPhone X) have got new cases that have undergone cosmetic reconstructions, and the latest technology SoC. However, the real benefit of all the bells and whistles can only be obtained from high-speed charging.

The camera of the iPhone 8 has not undergone any significant changes relative to the seven (we can only talk about the actual improvements after the first reviews). Both models use 1: 3 ″ matrices with a resolution of 12.0 megapixels. The camera is equipped with a system for ensuring optical stability, phase automatic focus, a flash with four diodes, and supports 4K video recording. In addition, FullHD (120.0 FPS) and HD (240.0 FPS) recordings are supported. The front panel uses a 7.0 megapixel matrix.

The flagship having a watering can

Huawei P10 is the name of the leader with a 5.1-inch screen, the brainchild of a giant from China. Its advanced hardware was developed by the company's specialists. Its performance is supported by the Kirin 960 chipset with Mali G71 graphics. This is its main difference from the advanced smartphones produced by other companies.

On board there are:

• High-speed charging function.
• Hi-Res music is supported.
• Expandable memory 32.0 GB or 64.0 GB.
• The volume of the RAM is 4.0 GB.

Huawei P10 has two cameras of 12 megapixels and 20. The color main matrix is ​​equipped with an optical stability system. The second, is monochrome and serves to increase the detail of images when there is a lack of light. The optics for the cameras were developed with the participation of Leica (Germany), a recognized brand in the premium camera industry. A high-quality selfie is obtained thanks to the 8.0 megapixel front-facing matrix.

Selfie lovers

• The diagonal of the screen is six inches.
• Quite fresh chipset MediaTek Helio P20.
• The volume of the OP is 4 GB.
• With a fairly small battery (2.7 thousand mAh), autonomy is optimized normally. This allows you to calmly withstand the whole day with average loads.
• There is fast charging.

The main feature of the Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is that not only the main camera, but also the front camera has an optical stability system. A 16-megapixel matrix with a size of 1: 2.6 ″ is used as a base. There is an autofocus function and a flash. This smartphone is simply irreplaceable for those who are a fan of selfies.

The rear camera specs are also pretty decent:

• Supports 4K video recording.
• F / 2 optics.
• Phase auto focus is available.
• Sensitivity 23 Mp.

Coming to the store for a new smartphone, one of the priority conditions that determine the choice of model is. Nowadays, even the most inexpensive device has the ability to shoot, and judging objectively, most of them do it quite acceptable.

Surely, many of us are not particularly interested in expensive and top smartphones, a priori with advanced cameras. Whatever you take, everywhere extremely positive feedback and high marks in popular benchmarks. Therefore, it is not very interesting to look at the top segment. Better to turn to the average price level in the range of 11,000 - 21,000 rubles (about 200-300 dollars), where you can also find decent models.

During 2018, manufacturers have released many good smartphones for this money and not even one. And they all offer very good photo and video capabilities. Consider the most popular devices on the Russian market that have received the most positive reviews specifically for cameras. The rating consists of devices from well-known Chinese manufacturers:, and.

• Optical stabilizer: there is

Price: from 69 990 rubles. (128 GB)

For the first time in its history Apple endowed her smartphone. The two lenses here are endowed with different focal lengths. This allows the user to apply 2x optical zoom. Along the way, an optical stabilizer is used here, due to which the shutter speed becomes slightly slower - this is very useful when shooting in low light conditions. Each lens consists of six optical elements, which is quite a few. The matrix size of 1 / 2.6 inches can be called standard - it is difficult to fit a larger sensor into a thin smartphone. The device removes very well, but it is still inferior to the flagship products of the South Korean competitor.

Dignity

• Optical image stabilization is applied;
• Two lenses;
• Powerful LED flash;
• 2x optical zoom available;
• 4K video recording available;

The seventh remains one of the cutest smartphones around. At the same time, it is slightly smaller than many competitors, thanks to which it can be used with one hand. As for the main camera, it has a 12-megapixel resolution. This is an indicator similar to the South Korean flagships. And it's better not to compare the device with devices from Sony. However, at a fairly low resolution, the camera creates excellent shots. Everything is in order here with video recording - the maximum user has access to 4K-shooting at a frequency of 30 frames / s.

Dignity

• Wide open aperture;
• The minimum number of optical elements;

• Optical stabilizer: there is

Price: from 54 990 rubles. (32 GB)

If you look for a smartphone from the very the best camera, then the main contender for this title will be exactly the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The handsome man with the curved edges of the display shoots almost perfectly. Of course, he is still far from indicators, but after all, a much smaller matrix is ​​built in here. It should be noted that in different countries you can find slightly different smartphones - some have their own sensor embedded, while others are endowed with a product from Sony. However, in terms of characteristics, both matrices are practically the same. If you're intimidated by the curved edges of the screen, you can take a look at the regular Galaxy S7 - it costs less and has exactly the same camera.

Dignity

disadvantages

• The camera resolution could be higher;
• Very high cost;
• Sometimes there may be false positives at the edges of the screen.

• Optical stabilizer: there is

Price: from 31,000 rubles. (32 GB)

For a long time, the company used a camera based on UltraPixel technology in its flagships. It consisted of using large pixels, which resulted in excellent light sensitivity. The disadvantage of this solution was the low final image resolution - usually it was only 4 megapixels. Fortunately, the second version of this technology has now been developed, where the matrix resolution has been increased to 12 megapixels. At the same time, the points on the sensor can still be called large, as a result of which the HTC 10 shoots very well in the dark. The size of the sensor installed here is 1 / 2.3 inches - a similar matrix found in GoPro Hero and various. Also, one cannot fail to note the presence of a laser autofocus here, which does an excellent job with its task.

Dignity

• Big size pixels;
• Double flash (LEDs of different tones);
• Sufficiently high aperture ratio;
• There is an optical image stabilizer;
• Splash proof;

• Diaphragm: f / 2
• Optical stabilizer: No

Price: from 39 990 rubles.

Many smartphone manufacturers now prefer to order camera modules from Sony. Oddly enough, the Japanese have learned better than others to produce high-quality matrices that fit under the body of even very thin smartphones. Typically, the resolution of such sensors does not exceed 16 megapixels. But in the case of its own Xperia X Performance, the manufacturer decided to sacrifice pixel size and, accordingly, light sensitivity. Instead, the Japanese have increased the resolution to 23 megapixels! If you think about it, even many professional SLR cameras cannot boast of such a parameter! The size of the matrix installed here is 1 / 2.3 inches. One can only regret that a smartphone from Sony is unreasonably expensive.

Dignity

• Very high resolution camera;
• The housing is waterproof;
• The latest version of the operating system;
• A high resolution 5-inch display;
• Not very large smartphone sizes.

disadvantages

• Diaphragm: f / 1.8
• Optical stabilizer: there is

Price: from 29 990 rubles.

The G5 SE smartphone is unique. Not only does it have a dual rear camera, but it is also somewhat modular. The fact is that the South Koreans have additionally released a couple of replaceable modules. One of them allows you to increase the battery capacity, and the other adds hardware keys to control the camera. Unfortunately, this idea was not crowned with success - the smartphone is not really in demand, not to mention all the replaceable modules. Returning to the camera, the Sony IMX234 sensor (size - 1 / 2.6 inches) is supplemented here with an auxiliary 8-megapixel sensor. It starts working when you need to use a wider angle. That is why this model works best in panoramas and landscapes.

Dignity

• The latest version of the operating system;
• Removable battery with the possibility of replacing it with a more capacious one;
• High definition camera;
• The presence of a second lens with a wide viewing angle;
• Optimal price tag for a flagship;

• Optical stabilizer: there is

Price: from 31 590 rubles. (64 GB)

The fourth smartphone under the brand turned out to be very good. It has a lot of memory at its disposal, so you quickly forget about the lack of a card slot. There is also a large number of wireless modules. As for the camera, it was created by Sony. This is not to say that it is perfect. For example, in the evening it is quite difficult to shoot with it, since there is an acute shortage of aperture. But during the day, this camera shows itself at its best! One can only regret that smartphones with a good camera are expensive - the product is no exception.

Dignity

disadvantages

• No memory card slot;
• The price is by no means low;
• Slippery body.

Google pixel

• Diaphragm: f / 2.0
• Optical stabilizer: No

Price: from 48 800 rubles. (32 GB)

Google has curtailed the Nexus line, launching the series Pixel smartphones... Its main difference is that it will include full-fledged flagships, which will have a corresponding price tag. The first Google Pixel is very expensive. But if you buy it, you are unlikely to regret anything. It has an AMOLED display with a very high pixel density, and the seventh version of Android is used as the operating system. But the main advantage of the device lies in the camera, the matrix of which has a size of 1 / 2.3 inches - this is the largest mobile sensor! When comparing cameras, large pixels will win thanks to their excellent light sensitivity. One can only complain about the lack of an optical stabilizer - only because of this, the camera cannot be called ideal.

WITH great camera has everything you need. The matrix installed here has a fairly high resolution. The lens is covered with sapphire glass, and therefore you need to handle your smartphone with care, otherwise you risk breaking the optics. An interesting innovation, due to which the device got into our rating, is the IR cut filter. The Chinese have tried to work on software part your product. They have implemented a good 3D Noise Reduction system. Has a device and function of tone correction of pictures. The autofocus time in most cases does not exceed 0.2 s.

• The camera resolution is not low;
• There is an optical stabilizer;
• Wide functionality of the "Camera" program;
• Two slots for SIM cards;

• Diaphragm: f / 1.9
• Optical stabilizer: No

Price: from 27 990 rubles.

The smartphone camera rating could not do without a representative of the mid-budget segment. The newcomer is not very different from the 2016 device. The camera resolution has, of course, increased. But the quality of the shooting remained about the same. However, it was already excellent, so this fact cannot be included in the shortcomings. The device got into the top also because of the existing ability to shoot under a waterfall and rain, since there is water protection here. In short, if you decide to buy such a smartphone, you will definitely not regret it - in many respects it is in no way inferior to much more expensive flagships.

Dignity
