The advantages and disadvantages of each of the above models were identified, and now a person must find an answer to the question for himself: - “What better smartphone select?". Each of them has weak sides however, none of the disadvantages are really important in day-to-day use. I hope our article will help you choose required smartphone and be satisfied with your purchase.

Not so long ago, Xiaomi became a leading Chinese corporation that produces some of the best devices not only in the Chinese market, but in the world in general. Thus, the company managed to win the love of users in different countries, including in Russia. Many domestic buyers would like to purchase a Chinese smartphone from this manufacturer. The problem is that the company is represented by a large number of models on Russian market, from which it is difficult for an unprepared person to choose the best. Therefore, we have compiled for you a ranking of the best Xiaomi smartphones of 2019 to solve this problem.

The best inexpensive Xiaomi smartphones of 2019: price up to 10,000 rubles

In the segment of budget devices, the company is represented almost the widest: the corporation has an already extensive the lineup for each price range, but in terms of the number of models it is ahead of all, of course, the budget one. Of course, there are other Chinese brands that have released dozens of models for this market segment, but almost none of them can compare in quality and functionality with Xiaomi. It is interesting that almost all smartphones under 10,000 rubles from Xiaomi are not bad, but our goal is to choose the best one in terms of price - quality ratio. The one that is definitely worthy of the attention of users.

1.Xiaomi Redmi 6A 2 / 16GB

Not sure which smartphone is better to buy for a child or parents? Take a closer look at the Redmi 6A, because this device is an excellent choice for its price. The latter, by the way, is equal to only 6 thousand rubles. Of course, at such a cost, phenomenal performance should not be expected. The smartphone is made of high quality, but plastic, and is available in 5 color options (and these are only those that can be easily found on sale). The screen of the mobile phone has an HD + resolution, a 2: 1 ratio and a size of 5.45 inches.

As for the hardware platform, it is as modest as possible. The Helio A22 processor from MediaTech (4 × 2 GHz) and graphics from PowerVR installed in Redmi 6A are enough only for simple tasks, such as correspondence in social networks and instant messengers, watching videos, and also surfing the Internet. But if that's what you want to choose a smartphone for Xiaomi good quality, there is no point in overpaying for other models.

Advantages:

• attractive cost;
• the device is perfectly assembled;
• system performance for simple tasks;
• screen quality for its price;
• at moderate load about 2 days of battery life.

Disadvantages:

• sometimes the display sensor does not correctly recognize touches;
• weak cameras;
• not suitable for games.

2.Xiaomi Redmi 6 3 / 32GB

The next line is occupied by the Redmi 6 model. However, despite the similarity in the name with the already mentioned model, this smartphone has received many noticeable changes. In general, it can claim the title of the best smartphone in its lineup, because there are practically no worthy competitors on the market for 8,000 rubles. The screen, dimensions and appearance of Redmi 6 are completely similar to the device described above. You can only notice some differences in the area of ​​the main camera, where not one, but two modules (12 and 5 MP) are installed.

Both the Redmi 6A and Redmi 6 have dual SIM and SIM + microSD trays, which allows you to expand storage without having to abandon one of the mobile operators.

The hardware platform of the phone is also not impressive. However, the choice in favor of the Helio P22 with 8 cores at 2 GHz is still more pleasing than the alternative in the form of the A22. In addition, there are 3/32 RAMs with built-in memory, respectively, which allows you to count on better performance in many tasks, including games (if, of course, the phone can handle them). The battery here will differ in exactly the same volume of 3000 mAh, so buyers can expect about a day of autonomous work.

Advantages:

• plastic but durable body;
• you can install 2 SIM + microSD;
• duration of work from a battery of 3000 mAh;
• the speed of the fingerprint scanner;
• reasoned cost;
• good main camera (in the occupied category).

Disadvantages:

• taking into account the cost, insignificant.

3.Xiaomi Redmi S2 3 / 32GB

The Redmi S2 continues the TOP of smartphones. Visually, the smartphone is similar to everything that the company offered in the budget segment throughout 2018. The characteristics of the device are also similar to many smartphones from the Redmi / Redmi Note lines. It has 3/32 GB of RAM / permanent memory, a Snapdragon 625 processor, an Adreno 506 graphics accelerator and a 5.99-inch display with a resolution of 1440 × 720 pixels.

According to the reviews, we can conclude that this "hardware" is sufficient for all tasks, including games. The cameras of the smartphone are mediocre. The main modules for 12 and 5 MP are removed at the level of typical state employees. The 16MP front camera is slightly better and is good for photos on social networks. But, nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that this is a camera in a phone for 9 thousand rubles.

Advantages:

• good display calibration;
• cool front camera;
• good hardware platform;
• works for a long time on a single charge;
• pleases with high-quality assembly;
• elaborate selfie camera.

Disadvantages:

• poor photo quality in low light;
• no fast charging;
• no oleophobic coating.

4.Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro 4 / 64GB

Sometimes it seems that devices from the line of inexpensive smartphones from Xiaomi Redmi Note grow somewhere on Chinese trees, so often the manufacturer replaces even phones that have not been able to become outdated with new products. In particular, the 6 Pro is an improved 5. The phone is delivered in an orange cardboard box familiar to the manufacturer, where, in addition to the device itself, there is a power supply, a synchronization cable (unfortunately, Micro USB), documentation and a simple silicone case.

The choice of body materials looks like a strange decision of the manufacturer. The only metal cover here is the back panel, but the frame of the smartphone is made of plastic. This is clearly a step backwards as past generations of Redmi Note had an aluminum frame and lid. The best Xiaomi smartphone in the budget category is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 636 processor and Adreno 509 graphics. The RAM and internal memory in the device are 4 and 64 GB, respectively. In general, everything is standard for the manufacturer's devices, the cost is about 15 thousand rubles.

Advantages:

• the best selfie camera in a smartphone;
• speed and smoothness of the OS;
• sufficiently productive "iron";
• attractive device design;
• bright and high-contrast display;
• good value for money.

Disadvantages:

• plastic body parts.

The best Xiaomi smartphones of 2019 with a powerful battery

The most powerful batteries phones of the popular Mi Max line from the world brand Xiaomi are equipped. In this review, we will present two of the most powerful models in this line.

1. Xiaomi Mi Max 3 4 / 64GB

The Mi Max 3 is great proof that you don't have to buy a gaming flagship for entertainment. The Snapdragon 636 processor, complemented by the Adreno 509 graphics accelerator, will cope well with all the relevant tasks. The phone has 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of permanent storage is available here.

If you want to purchase a Xiaomi smartphone with powerful battery, then Mi Max 3 is able to please you. A battery with an impressive capacity of 5500 mAh is installed here, which is enough for two to three days of work with an average load. As for the screen, it is 6.9-inch in the device, and its resolution is 2160 by 1080 pixels.

Both the main and the front camera of the reviewed model can be estimated at about 4 out of 5, even if we consider the smartphone only within its price range. But there is face unlock, which will be useful if you prefer ease of use to the quality of protecting the data stored on the device.

Advantages:

• the ability to unlock by a face;
• smart fingerprint scanner;
• decent sound;
• attractive price (about 16 thousand);
• large, bright and colorful display;
• great design and good build;
• excellent autonomy.

2.Xiaomi Mi Max 2 64GB

Second generation large and powerful smartphone from the Mi Max lineup is also not losing ground and is actively bought by users. This smartphone somewhat simpler in terms of hardware platform and has a 6.44-inch screen with a classic aspect ratio of 16: 9. But in practice, he is subject to exactly the same tasks as the updated model. The exception is cameras with 12 (rear) and 5 (front) megapixels, which take very modest pictures.

Phablet Mi Max 2 has an infrared port, thanks to which you can control home appliances like TVs or air conditioners.

Despite almost two years of age, the reviewed smartphone is equipped with USB-C port... In addition, it supports fast charging, which, given the large battery capacity (5300 mAh), is an important advantage. The cost of the phablet starts from 13 thousand rubles, so you yourself can decide whether it is worth overpaying for a newer model or you are satisfied with the possibilities of a more affordable second generation.

Advantages:

• great alternative to a smartphone or tablet;
• USB Type-C port and fast charging function;
• performance and speed;
• the quality of the wireless modules;
• with a moderate load, the battery lasts for three days.

Disadvantages:

• outdated platform;
• cameras leave a lot to be desired.

The best Xiaomi smartphones with a good camera

Many users now choose a smartphone not by the number of processor cores, the amount of RAM or the display resolution, but by the quality of the cameras. And this is not surprising: everyone wants to shoot beautifully the most interesting moments of life and share its moments in social networks... By the way, and in this case, Xiaomi has something to offer. The company produces camera phones that take pictures and shoot videos at the level of the flagship Samsung devices and LG, but they are much cheaper than their competitors from Korea, the USA or the same China.

1. Xiaomi Mi 8 6 / 64GB

I would like to start the next category of our rating with a beautiful camera phone from Xiaomi - model Mi 8. Visually, the smartphone resembles the current iPhone. Even the face scanner is made according to the same principle as that of the “apple” competitor. Next to it, by the way, there is a good 20 MP front camera. At the back, there are 2 12-megapixel modules, capable of boasting 2x optical zoom, support for 4K video recording (but optical stabilization works fine only at Full HD) and the ability to take colorful pictures with a blurred background.

Equally important, the smartphone is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 845 processor and Adreno 630 GPU, which can handle all modern games and heavy applications... Moreover, it is a pleasure to consume any entertainment content on Xiaomi Mi 8. This is provided by high-quality sound (though for some reason only mono) and a delightful AMOLED display, calibrated according to the DCI-P3 standard.

Advantages:

• attractive appearance;
• USB Type-C and fast charging;
• first-class build quality;
• productive "iron";
• instant fingerprint scanner;
• system performance;
• great cameras;
• display calibration;
• support for contactless payments.

• no stereo speakers and audio jack;
• marking back cover;
• stabilization quality in 4K.

2.Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 4 / 64GB

Perhaps not every Chinese flagship causes the same excitement that the affordable Redmi Note 7 managed to achieve. Moreover, unlike other devices, this smartphone really deserves attention, especially attention from users who are not chasing "parrots" and other little useful things. The device looks stylish and pleases with excellent quality. There are even videos on the network where they break nuts with the help of Redmi Note 7, after which the smartphone works without problems.

The smartphone is equipped with an excellent basic Samsung camera GM1 with 48MP resolution. The quality of the final photo is 12 MP. But this is due to the fact that to create a picture, the software combines information from 4 neighboring pixels, thereby achieving impressive detail with a minimum of noise.

Unfortunately, the sides of the smartphone are made of plastic. On the one hand, this makes the phone more resistant to damage when dropped. But in the bend test, a phone with a good camera and a 4000 mAh battery performs worse than the owners would like. But in terms of hardware, everything is fine here: bundles from Snapdragon 660 and Adreno 512 graphics, supplemented by 4 GB of RAM, will be enough for any task.

Advantages:

• modern appearance;
• good equipment;
• excellent camera;
• battery capacity and the presence of USB Type-C;
• perfect combination of price and quality;
• quality of GPS reception;
• good color rendering;

Disadvantages:

• placement of the notification LED;
• the main camera protrudes too much.

3. Xiaomi Mi A2 4 / 64GB

Another curious smartphone from Xiaomi with a good camera is next in line. First of all, Mi A2 is interesting in that it works under the control of "pure" Android. Typically, the manufacturer equips its smartphones with its own MIUI shell, sometimes provoking criticism even from those buyers who generally approve of the Chinese brand's policy and direction. Therefore, Mi A2 will definitely appeal to those who want to use the system in the form in which the search giant originally conceived it.

The reviewed model is equipped with the Snapdragon 660 processor, which finally began to replace the 625th "dragon" in inexpensive phones... The amount of RAM and ROM in Xiaomi Mi A2 is 4 and 64 GB, respectively, but if necessary, users can choose other, more affordable modifications of the smartphone. The display of the phone is made using IPS technology, has a diagonal of 5.99 inches and Full resolution HD. The aspect ratio of the Mi A2 screen is 2: 1, and, fortunately, there are no "bangs" here.

Advantages:

• excellent main camera at 12 + 20 MP;
• good front camera for high-quality selfies;
• sufficient performance for your money;
• stylish appearance;
• USB-C port and support for fast charging;
• lack of unnecessary applications;
• produced by Android program One;

Disadvantages:

• there is no 3.5 mm jack;
• pulls not all games;
• the quality of the fingerprint scanner varies by item.

Xiaomi flagship smartphones

For 2019, the most technologically advanced smartphones - the company's flagships - are Mi Mix 3, Mi Mix 2S and Mi8 PRO devices. True, the phones came out with a difference of almost six months. It is interesting that in terms of characteristics and especially the build quality, they are in no way inferior to the flagships of other companies. But at a price these devices are noticeably lower than their competitors, which can be called traditional for Xiaomi. It is not surprising that it is for a competent combination of a low price, High Quality and good characteristics the products of the Chinese manufacturer are loved by millions of people.

1. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S 6 / 128GB

Opens a good overview bezel-less smartphone Mi Mix 2C. The device is equipped with a Snapdragon 845 processor and Adreno 630 graphics. They are also installed in other devices from this category. Despite the availability of newer hardware, we are sure that both the Mi Mix 2S and the performance of the models presented below will be enough for you for years to come. In addition, the phone boasts an attractive and modern design, which will also not be out of date soon.

As for the display, around which there is a symmetrical thin frame, it is made using IPS technology, has a resolution of 2160 × 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 2: 1. Under it is the chin, where the 5MP front camera is hidden. She shoots at an average level, so those who like to post their photos on Instagram should take this nuance into account. But the reviews about the rear camera of the smartphone are very good. Ranked by DxOMark this phone got the same number of points as the iPhone X, which speaks best about the quality of its pictures.

Advantages:

• wireless charging function;
• current design with almost no frames;
• impressive hardware performance;
• decent display calibration;
• shooting with the main camera;
• built-in NFC chip;
• body made of ceramic and aluminum.

Disadvantages:

• face unlocking work.

2. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 6 / 128GB

Today, manufacturers are trying in every possible way to rid their phones of frames. Someone for this resorts to not approved, but already accepted by users "bangs". Others make the front cameras slide out. Samsung decided to make holes in the screen. The Chinese chose a different path and introduced the frameless slider Mi Mix 3. Of course, even in this case, the manufacturer managed to cover not 100, but slightly less than 86% of the front panel with the display. However, this is even good, because if Xiaomi had copied the features of the Galaxy S line, there would have been false positives sensor around the edges of the smartphone.

The design of the smartphone made it possible to intelligently hide the 24/2 MP front camera. But, unfortunately, it is not perfect, so sometimes, even unnecessarily, users can "push apart" the body of a mobile phone.

If you do not find fault with the small "chin", then we can say that the frames of the Mi Mix 3 are symmetrical on all sides. Also in the ranking of the best smartphones from Xiaomi, the reviewed device is the best in photo quality. It beats the Huawei P20 and even the iPhone Xr. The front camera of the device received higher ratings in reviews than the iPhone Xs Max, as well as the current flagships of Huawei.

Advantages:

• minimal bezels around the screen without cutouts;
• system speed and performance;
• the speed of the fingerprint scanner;
• high level of performance;
• original design in the form of a slider;
• a smartphone with the best camera in the presented rating;
• sound quality in speakers and headphones;
• excellent equipment;
• excellent display calibration.

Disadvantages:

• the reliability and convenience of the design is in question;
• the battery has a small capacity;
• no water protection.

3. Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro 8 / 128GB

While the flagship smartphone-novelty of 2019 Mi9 is on its way to Russia, the current leader of the Chinese brand is Mi 8 Pro. However, this device turned out to be so successful that even after the appearance of Mi 9 on the shelves of domestic stores, it is unlikely to give up its positions.

First, for the 8/128 GB version, buyers will be asked for only 35 thousand. But keep in mind that finding a smartphone can be cheaper, which makes it even more interesting. Secondly, the design of the Mi 8 Pro is head and shoulders above its main competitors. The fact is that the back cover of the device is transparent. Yes, there is a dummy under it, not the real stuffing, but this is even better (HTC Exodus, which is still not completely honest, will not let you lie).

Another, and more important, advantage of the monitored device is the fingerprint scanner located under the screen. As well as minimizing frames, it is a trend in recent years, so any self-respecting Android manufacturer tried to present the appropriate device to the public.

However, during the review, the smartphone made several mistakes with reading the fingerprint, so the accuracy of this method is less than when choosing a traditional scanner. And it is inferior in speed, albeit insignificantly. However, these are minor flaws for which you don't want to scold the phone. As for unlocking by face, it is here, but, ironically, it recognizes Asian faces better than European ones.

Advantages:

• a lot of RAM;
• spacious storage;
• performance is enough for any task;
• original design of the back cover;
• stylish design;
• a fingerprint scanner under the AMOLED screen;
• you can use face unlock.

Disadvantages:

• the Chinese counterpart of Face ID responds better to Asian faces;
• battery only 3000 mAh.

Which Xiaomi smartphone is the best to buy in 2019

In fact, choosing a good Xiaomi phone is not that difficult. The problem is that there is no universal device that will shoot well, have flagship characteristics, work quickly, get a stylish appearance - in general, good and inexpensive smartphone... The closest thing to the title of the best universal device of the company is the Mi 5S Plus, but it has mediocre design(although this is a subjective question), so the optimal solution would be to accumulate more money and purchase the flagship Mi 6, which will definitely be relevant for a very long time.

1. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S

2. Xiaomi Mi 8

3. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite

Trendy rainbow colors distinguish Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite from most smartphones. Its body has a glass coating with a mirror effect, made using a special technology.

4. Xiaomi Pocophone F1

Faster, lighter and smoother than ever POCO F1 aims to help you reach a new level of greatness whether you are playing, working or watching videos. For some reason, this new Xiaomi addition is referred to as the "Master of Speed".

Until a few years ago, everyone was firmly convinced that chinese smartphones Is an absolute evil. In principle, it was so. Unnamed companies, in a thirst for quick profits, churned out copies of famous phones. These gadgets were inexpensive, but the quality left much to be desired. Everything changed dramatically when China decided to create smartphones with unique design and use your own designs. There are a lot of worthy manufacturers in the Celestial Empire, but Xiaomi has been the leader for several years now. Her smartphones have been repeatedly called iPhone killers, because the manufacturer's equipment is really high-quality and very inexpensive. In general, everyone has already understood that the company makes decent gadgets, that's just it can be difficult to understand the constantly updated assortment, so we have prepared a small guide for you and selected the best Xiaomi smartphones among those presented at the moment. We have tried to cover all price segments.

Xiaomi ranks among the top ten smartphone manufacturers in the world. The company's devices are sold in millions of copies and topped the charts of the most bought smartphones in different countries.

This smartphone has become hit sales... Studying its parameters, you can be sure that the popularity of the model has fallen on purpose. Appearance, like all smartphones of the company, laconic. Model got cute metal case, 2,5 D safety glass and sufficient storage space. Fingerprint scanner and LED indicator events available. The processor used cannot be called the most productive and modern, but it can easily cope with a basic set of applications, and it will also allow you to play most of the toys. Good cameras and a large battery – strengths models. One could scold the device for its HD resolution, but we will not do that - looking for FullHD resolution is more appropriate among the more expensive models. The most popular version with 3/32 GB will cost you about 8,900 rubles, a device with 4/64 GB will cost about 13,000 rubles. When ordering from China, the price will naturally be more favorable.

Xiaomi Redmi 5A

In the budget sector smartphonesXiaomi- the best... This is our subjective opinion, supported by numerous user reviews. In October 2017, the budget line was replenished with a new device. Redmi 5A, which replaced Redmi 4A. The smartphone has not received significant changes, but the manufacturer says that it was able to optimize the processor even better. The gadget received a plastic case, a good battery, quite decent cameras and an event indicator. The device looks nice, it is assembled with high quality, supports work in 4G networks... The device has practically no worthy competitors in this price category. This is great workhorse that will handle the typical tasks of most users.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus

The smartphone was recently presented by the company. Bright Novika received the trendy widescreen display with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 today... After Samsung began to use this feature, other manufacturers followed suit. The screen is undoubtedly the main advantage of the device. It is large, covers almost the entire bezel, and has a high resolution - pixel density reaches 403ppi... This means that you will not distinguish individual points even upon close examination, and the picture will be incredibly clear.

The body is made of metal and looks great in any color. For the appearance of the device, you can put a solid five. The smartphone was also successful in terms of filling. A high-performance processor can handle any applications, and the memory reserve is all right. The battery also did not disappoint, however, as well as the cameras - with the help of the device you can make very even decent shots... There is nothing to scold the device for, so it can safely claim the title of the best Xiaomi smartphone.

Smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 5 of the same series received a slightly smaller screen - 5.7 inches, a resolution of 1440 * 720, a pixel density of 282 ppi. The 3/32 GB version costs about 10,200-10,500 rubles.

Xiaomi Mi A1

This smartphone belongs to the middle segment, but looks premium, and its filling is really cool. Apparatus clad in metal, is distinguished by the presence dual cameras and dual optical zoom... The photos are good, but many users are still not satisfied with their quality. The strength of the device is bright screen withFullHDresolution and the widest viewing angles.

You can find fault with the battery capacity, especially if you compare the battery used here with the batteries in the manufacturer's cheaper smartphones. In fact, there are no questions about the autonomy of the gadget - it's a well-optimized filling and an energy-efficient processor. Users complain about absenceNFC.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

The device was released a year ago, but it is still actively sold. He's called simplified flagship. A large screen with good resolution, a metal body, an excellent battery, decent performance, good cameras - what else do you need from a smartphone at this price? The smartphone received a 2.5D anti-scratch glass and a fingerprint scanner. The manufacturer did not add any features, such as a dual camera or fast charging, but even without them this smartphone turned out to be excellent and well balanced in terms of price and quality.

Xiaomi Mi Note 3

Another rather interesting smartphone from the company, which clearly claims to be the flagship. Outwardly, the device looks perfect. Glass body practically does not collect prints. A sub-screen button with a fingerprint scanner adorns the model. The smartphone itself is streamlined and fits well in the hand, but a little slippery. The device received not the most modern, but still a very good processor, so you will not complain about the performance.

Dual camera allows you to use optical zoom and take photos with bokeh effect. Front camera with its 16 MP copes with their tasks very well. Praise the device for high-quality sound, a decent amount of memory, an excellent screen and good battery life. The downside is the lack of a headphone jack. There is no memory card slot here.
