Good afternoon friends. Smartphones have changed dramatically over the past 10 years. For an ordinary buyer who wants to buy a good phone, the question quite often arises in his head: - which smartphone manufacturer is better? Phones have changed so much that it has become very difficult for an unknowing buyer to choose an inexpensive phone with great features.
In previous years, people made a choice between Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Nowadays, a large number of mobile gadgets make it very difficult to make the right choice. But such a problem will not affect visitors to our site, since I have compiled my rating of phone creators. Our rating goes from less better brand to better, in my opinion.
The best smartphone manufacturers
When choosing a phone, try to pay attention to certain points:
- Price for quality: phones from the most elite creators are overpriced. Of course, when a buyer buys a flagship, the cost of the product is not as important to him as the branding of the phone and its status. This phone will allow the user to enjoy one of the most advanced achievements in the field of electrical engineering. Of course, I don’t see the point in buying expensive gadgets because their manufacturer is considered one of the best. Because for this amount you can get an order of magnitude better smartphone and not from such an expensive brand;
- Little known brand. If you have a desire to pay less, then you should not buy a smartphone from branded creators. There is also no need to buy a gadget from an unknown manufacturer. In this case, a risky situation with poorly installed applications, unimportant firmware and other troubles is possible. Companies present in such a market try to monitor the quality of their product;
- A country. Nowadays, many European, American and Korean creators are actively being replaced by the Chinese. They already have at least 3 well-known brands, the products of which are of no worse, and sometimes better quality, compared to Western countries;
- It is necessary for the devices to be officially present on the Russian market. Many users quite often have problems with technical support and poor Russian language on their smartphone. Also, poor compatibility with 3G and 4G connections. Therefore, it is better to purchase devices from those companies that are official suppliers of smartphones to our country;
- Customer reviews. Follow the opinions of other buyers on certain brands of devices. Reviews from other people are one of the first indicators of product quality.
Next, I will provide a list of products from the 11 best phone brands at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2021. It was created according to such indicators as the quality of its components, power, prices and customer reviews.
Which processor is better for a smartphone?
Unlike computers, a smartphone's processor is an entire system consisting of several components combined into a single chip or die. It supports the basic functions of the device - processes data, supports wireless connections, displays images, etc.
Thus, the system consists of the computing processor itself (CPU), a video card (GPU), 3G, 4G, 5G modems, wireless connection modules (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). The processor is the main component that powers the entire smartphone.
The most relevant processors are Apple A13 for iPhones, Snapdragon 855 and 855 Plus for many Android smartphones. Products from well-known smartphone brands use their own developments. For example, Samsung has the Exynos 990 and Helio G90 brands, and Huawei and Honor have the Kirin 990. They all work at a decent level, and the difference between them is practically not felt.
Meizu
- Has excellent filling;
- Made in China;
- Rating 4.5
Quite a young company creator, which for 15 years has been one of the leading ones. Meizu have excellent power and low cost, Flyme OS shell, which is also simple and convenient to use. Another important detail is the ability to protect against loss and theft. This function has also surpassed the iPhone. It was only around mid-2021 that this brand left the Russian market. But, you can buy this phone on AliExpress and in other stores. View Meizu Note 9 LTE…
Advantages
- The phone is quite reliable;
- Accessible;
- Excellent camera with display;
- Ability to find a lost phone.
Minuses
- Rare updates;
- Sometimes the connection disappears;
- MedieTek CPUs are less powerful than Qualcomm;
- The brand is no longer sold in the Russian Federation.
Sony Xperia 1 III – 821548
Little by little we moved to a weaker class of devices. And it starts with a very expensive device... The model features a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 5G processor and is equipped with 12 GB of RAM. It is worth noting the design of the flagship. Square, angular and wide. This is not a drawback that the company saved on, but a feature. Thus, the mobile gadget turns into a full-fledged portable console.
Advantages:
- design;
- size;
- ROM.
Flaws:
- price;
- battery.
Price: 100,000 rubles.
ASUS
A few years ago, this manufacturer was the creator of mainly budget phones for buyers with low requirements. So, now this company has begun to create gadgets that customers with high demands would not mind using.
The company continued to enhance the ZenFone line, which won design awards in the mid-2010s. ASUS has begun expanding its Republic of Gamers design to phones. The result is the amazing ROG Phone, which runs on the fast Snapdragon 845, which was equipped with an evaporation chamber (for cooling). It boasts cool gaming attributes.
If we take into account simple models, we can see that they have gained a foothold in most of the significant segments. To summarize, for the most part people have complaints about the quality of the ASUS Zenfone Max M2 ZB633KL software...
Advantages
- Rapidity;
- User-friendly design;
- Nice interface.
Minuses
- Cameras are not of the best quality;
- There may be problems with sound.
Realme - cutting edge technology and design
This is a subsidiary of OPPO, which was created to compete with a similar organization from the famous Xiaomi brand. The company strives in every possible way to produce top-end devices in every price segment and thereby attract buyers with different incomes. Judging by the positions in the ratings that increase every year, the manufacturer is doing well.
Realme smartphones are distinguished by good technical characteristics and stylish design . There are several lines that differ in prices. However, even flagship devices are sold at not very high prices when compared with models of similar functionality from other brands.
Even budget Realme devices look stylish and expensive, although perhaps somewhat monotonous. The design of most models is not very nearly identical to each other. The line may differ slightly in the shape of the cutout for the front camera and the location of the fingerprint scanner.
Realme companies predict becoming a sales leader in many countries around the world. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer tries to use only advanced technologies in the manufacture of its products.
This helps ensure that each new model delights users with new and unusual features that are often not included in smartphones from more popular brands.
Advantages:
- stylish design;
- quality of components;
- updated features.
Disadvantages: slowness of some modes.
Nokia
- Manufacturer – Finland;
- Rating 4.2 (2019).
It makes no sense to present this company, since it has been quite well known since the 2000s in Russia. But over the past ten years, her star has flown away to second (third) roles. To its credit, the company is making attempts to regain its place among the leaders. But these attempts do not give much results.
Nokia phones are stylish. Excellent components. But, unimportant software. Also, the devices from this creator are not reliable. The Finns solve this problem with the help of a guarantee. View Nokia X6 phone...
Asus ROG Phone 5 Ultimate – 815491
And we have officially found a record holder for price in our top. The gadget is equipped with a Snapdragon 888 processor, 18 GB of RAM and 512 GB of ROM. The battery capacity is 6000 mAh. There is no need to rejoice, because when consuming from a bright screen and a powerful processor, this is only enough for a day. But there is fast charging at 65 W and even wireless charging at 10 W.
Advantages:
- memory;
- Supports fast and wireless charging.
Flaws:
- discrepancy between price and quality.
Cost: 205,400 rubles.
- Nude Android with great cameras;
- Made in America;
- Rating 4.0
Google creates phones with increased prices. Let us add that it is often overestimated without specific justification. They have excellent top-end hardware, wonderful cameras with displays. Maybe if this company had lowered its price, it would have been at a higher level in this rating. View Honor Play 3 Google Play…
Advantages:
- Android without frills;
- The smartphone is quite fast;
- Reliable;
- Has excellent assembly and parts;
- Independence.
Minuses
- Price;
- Does not have official sales in the Russian Federation.

Google is the leader in the global smartphone market
Google began producing smartphones in 2010. This was a joint project with NTS. In 2021, the first smartphone made by the company itself appeared. Since then, Google has steadily risen in global rankings.
The brand immediately took an unusual direction in creating gadgets . The company's specialists have developed their own development strategy, which, as practice shows, has justified itself. According to employees, new smartphones should stand out among analogues both in their appearance and functionality.
When manufacturing devices, functions of close integration with Google servers are laid down. This allows you to quickly access the company's advanced developments.
An interesting solution was that the new development was aimed at making people interact less with gadgets. Therefore, the new line did not have large amounts of RAM, and there was only one camera, but at the same time it was superior in quality to all existing analogues.
However, subsequent developments were somewhat different from previous versions. The processor power was increased and the design was changed. The speaker locations have also been modified.
A distinctive feature of Google phones are additional functions that are aimed at simplifying the interaction between the user and the smartphone.
Advantages:
- reliability;
- large set of functions;
- build quality.
Flaws:
- high cost;
- are not sold on the Russian market.
Lenovo – Motorola
- Made in China;
- Rating 4.4
- Has inexpensive models
Lenovo is one of the largest companies in China, which bought Motorola Mobility in 2014. These devices are inexpensive and of decent quality. But this company does not have the lowest price. At the end of 2021, there were practically no telephone numbers in the Russian Federation. Hence, I cannot give a recommendation to purchase these products. View Lenovo lenovo Z6 Lite…
View Motorola DROID Turbo XT1254…
Advantages
- Gadgets are cheap;
- Reliable;
- They have excellent assembly with components;
- They function stably.
Minuses
- The cameras are not very high quality;
- There are shortcomings in the programs.
Xiaomi are the best-selling smartphones in Russia in 2021
The company appeared in 2010 and has already established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality and multifunctional smartphones. The company's products successfully compete with well-known brands not only in Asian, but also in many other countries.
Xiaomi has gained particular popularity in the Russian Federation . This was facilitated not only by low prices for devices, but also by their quality. The manufacturer tries not to apply obsolete principles when assembling its products, but focuses only on popular trends in mobile technology.
However, due attention is not paid to the design of the manufactured devices. This especially applies to budget lines. Xiaomi’s decision not to equip mid-price segment devices with an NFC module is not entirely clear. Such smartphones also do not support a number of bands that are relevant for most countries.
The reluctance to introduce stylish design is explained by the company’s specialists by the fact that at this stage they do not have constructive solutions that can satisfy incoming requests. Sounds weird.
Most likely, a dynamically developing brand simply plans to first win over the audience with the high technical characteristics of its products, and only then move on to its external decoration.
Advantages:
- power;
- durability;
- price;
- components.
Disadvantages: the manufacturer tries to impose its own applications.
LG
- Manufacturer Korea;
- Rating 4.5
LG is the most famous brand from South Korea. But, the phones are not as popular as Samsung. Although, the company is trying to maintain the brand. The gadgets have decent characteristics. This is despite the fact that the price is not particularly high. View LG V30 Plus H930DS H931…
Advantage
- Excellent design;
- Stable operation;
- The devices can be called reliable;
- Has excellent components.
Minuses
- The speakers are not up to par;
- Some models do not have a slot for flash drives.
Huawei – the best price/quality ratio
In recent years, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer has been confidently approaching a leading position in the global sales rankings.
Experts predict that Huawei will overtake some more well-known brands in the near future. Sales of smartphones of this brand are actively growing, mainly in the middle and premium price segment.
The brand has two flagship lines. One of them has a simple design and a large number of modifications, the other has a wide diagonal.
The company's gadgets are distinguished by high-quality cameras. Moreover, this applies not only to flagships, but also to more budget options.
Advantages:
- power;
- availability;
- long service life;
- High quality camera and components.
Flaws:
- lack of oleophobic screen coating;
- New models do not have Google servers.
Sony
- The devices are produced in Japan;
- Reining 4.3
We can say that this company has a similar fate to Nokia. Overall great phones. But at the moment they are much lower than the main leaders. The company produces models that, due to their qualities, cost an order of magnitude higher than similar models from other companies. But, since the 2000s, the manufacturer has retained its admirers, which is why the brand was included in the rating. View Sony Xperia Z C6603…
Advantages
- Beautiful design;
- Excellent internals;
- Has a decent build;
- Great cameras.
Minuses
- Price;
- Does not differ in the reliable operation of inexpensive models.
Sony – quality and original design
In recent years, this manufacturer has begun to lose its position in the ratings , but it still has many fans. The company itself was founded back in the 40s of the last century and since then has been successfully producing electronic household appliances.
This brand has every chance to improve its position in the annual rankings. However, despite the expansion of the model range, the share of Sony smartphones in the global sales market continues to decrease. The company is trying in various ways to win back customers, for which it resorts to various tricks. The products have radically new characteristics that were not present on previous models.
Budget smartphones and devices aimed at the middle price segment released in recent years have not found a response from buyers. Most likely, Sony will decide to focus on the production of expensive devices and components for them.
Still, the optical image sensors manufactured by this company have long been considered benchmarks in quality.
It is puzzling why the company has not yet realized the potential advantages that many years of experience in this field give it.
Advantages:
- original design;
- high-quality equipment and assembly;
- multi-pixel cameras.
Flaws:
- high price;
- poor quality work of budget models.
Xiaomi (Redmi)
- Is the Chinese flagship;
- Created in China;
- Rating 4.8
This brand is the market leader in China in terms of sales and competes with Apple and Samsung itself. The advantage of these devices is their excellent functionality and popularity. They have wonderful MIUI shells, which many users love. View Xiaomi mi A3 mi A3…
View Xiaomi Redmi 7A 7 A
Advantages
- The phone is quite powerful;
- Budget cost;
- Has excellent filling;
- Wonderful equipment;
- Excellent functioning.
Minuses
- Often sellers sell versions for China as global ones;
- Sometimes software imposes its own programs.
Samsung
- Created in Korea;
- Rating 4.9
Many people believe that Samsung Galaxy is the best phone for many of its features like performance, functionality, reliability and others. Samsung creates some of the best screens, and has the most top-end equipment for a whole range. View Samsung Galaxy A7 Duos A7000
Advantages
- Very fast;
- Has excellent equipment;
- Excellent performance;
- Wonderful screen;
- Works stably.
Minuses
- Price;
- Budget models are inferior to Chinese models in all respects.
Oppo
Oppo, although an independent company, is owned by the large corporation BBK Electronics.
Another Chinese brand that has overtaken LG in the ranking of the best smartphone manufacturers. He began active operations in 2016, and in 2021 received 4.49% of the market share.
According to Counterpoint, an analytics service, Oppo is the brand that confidently competes with Samsung and Apple in the field of premium devices (Oppo got 6%). The company is in no hurry to conquer the world yet, so it sticks to working in its native China.
Oppo, although an independent company, belongs to the large corporation BBK Electronics, being its main asset. In China, it competes with Xiaomi and Huawei. The fight is not easy, since Oppo also has something to offer the buyer.
For example, the 2021 RX17 Pro featured an in-display optical scanner that was faster and faster than the competition.
The same phone supported proprietary SuperVOOC Flash Charge with a power of 50 W. Oppo is the first company in 2021 to use a TOF 3D stereo camera.
Oppo Find X, which appeared in 2021, set the fashion for frameless sliders, which competitors liked (later Mi Mix 3 and Honor Magic 2 were released).
In 2021, the company also has something to present: the flagship Oppo Reno, with five times optical zoom and a 13 megapixel telephoto lens. Engineers also monitor the frameless nature of phones, for which they implement a retractable front camera (F11 Pro and Reno models).
Huawei (Honor)
- Excellent smartphones in a budget environment;
- Manufacturer China;
- Rating 4.7
Huawei is somewhat similar to Meizu gadgets, but they have their own HiSilicon processor and are in many ways superior to Qualcomm phones. In addition, these gadgets do not differ in the quality of their cameras. Huawei is priced higher than other gadgets created in China. Unfortunately, due to American sanctions, such familiar services as Google Play are becoming questionable in new models. Therefore, when purchasing a smartphone from this brand, pay attention to models that were created before the end of 2021. However, sanctions have not been imposed on the cheaper brand of this company, Honor, and Google services will be introduced into them. View Huawei Y MAX…
View Honor 8c 3…
Advantages
- Excellent build quality;
- Powerful iron;
- The cost is within an affordable limit;
- Great cameras;
- Excellent equipment;
- Reliability.
Minuses
- Often there is no oleophobic display;
- American sanctions and the lack of Google services in new models.
Vivo is the fastest growing Chinese smartphone brand
This brand appeared on the sales market relatively recently, but has already gained popularity among buyers. This is facilitated by the good price-to-capability ratio of the device.
The main features of Vivo smartphones are powerful batteries that provide the device with greater battery life, as well as fast processors for budget devices.
The company itself is part of the BBK corporation. Many experts predict a great future for Vivo , and the annually increasing position of this brand in world rankings only confirms this assumption. Phones of this brand have already gained popularity in China and are gradually beginning to enter the world market.
They are currently supplied to other countries only in small quantities, but there is a high probability that in a few years the situation will change dramatically and the brand will become recognizable in all countries.
Residents of Europe have already appreciated the quality of the budget models of this line and are looking forward to the delivery of new batches of smartphones from this manufacturer. Vivo can also be purchased in limited quantities in the Russian Federation.
Advantages:
- affordable price;
- build quality;
- camera;
- design.
Disadvantages: rarely occurs.
Apple
- The best design in the world;
- Made in America;
- Rating 4.9
When a person earns a decent amount of money, he usually chooses an Apple device for many reasons. These phones can be called the most powerful; they have excellent hardware, the likes of which you will not find. Also, many manufacturers simply copy their interface. Hence, iPhones have become a legend in recent times. View Apple iPhone 6...
Advantages
- Quite reliable;
- Function perfectly;
- Beautiful interface;
- They have wonderful filling;
- You can optimize the OS.
Minuses
- Price;
- New models have bugs;
- Artificial slowdown of old models.
Vivo iQOO 7 – 829173
Another Chinese company that has revolutionized the world of smartphones. The first thing I would like to note is the infinite screen. It was also present on the models above, but here it is especially noticeable. The model uses the already familiar Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and 8 GB of RAM. Not the most remarkable model when compared with the devices above. The memory is only 128 GB, but this is enough for most tasks.
Advantages:
- fast charging;
- camera;
- price.
Flaws:
- no Google services;
- a bit heavy;
- did not pass the test of time, the battery quickly wore out.
Price: 41628 rubles.
Five questions you need to know the answer to before buying a phone
- How much money are you willing to pay for a phone ? By answering this question, your list of applicants will immediately decrease;
- Why do you need a smartphone ? If a phone is needed to solve various tasks, such as traveling on the Internet, being on social media. networks, watching YouTube, there is no need for fast functionality. In other words, you can choose, for example, Meizu. For those who love games, Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung are more suitable;
- How often do you have to change your phone? If your smartphones are not often delayed. For example, they may break, get lost, or simply get boring; you should not purchase the device for a large sum;
- Which operating system do you prefer? If bare Android is enough for you, then you should buy Google, or the same Xiaomi. If you need a phone that's easy to use, Meizu is the one for you.
- Is there a service center of the company whose brand you have chosen in your city? It is advisable to have it, as it is of great importance in case the phone breaks down.
I’m also going to write an article on how to buy on Ali correctly, and according to what parameters. But, right now I can say that when purchasing in this online store, two conditions are required:
- Be sure to pay attention that delivery is free. Otherwise, in case of a dispute over delivery, your money will not be returned;
- After receiving the parcel, it is necessary to film the process of unpacking it on a video camera. This is your Main Trump in case of disputes. For example, they will send you the wrong model, or a phone with a broken screen. Be sure to rotate your gadget in front of the camera when unpacking your smartphone so that all its shortcomings can be seen. For example, various dents, scratches, etc.!
These rules apply not only to Ali, but to all online stores!

What's better: phone or tablet?
Both devices look similar to each other and have many of the same technical characteristics. The main difference between these gadgets is as follows:
- Smartphone. First of all, it is a means of mobile communication and only secondly is it a pocket mini-computer.
- Tablet. First of all, it performs the functions of a mobile computer, and only after that it is considered as a communicator.
There are differences in technical characteristics:
- Dimensions and screen. Any tablet is larger than even the largest smartphone. It's the same with screens. For tablets it starts at 6 inches, and for smartphones it ends at 7 inches.
- General characteristics. Representatives of electronics companies use the same components in both cases. This applies to processors and other components. As a result, all products are divided into budget, medium and premium segments. There are no special differences between tablets and smartphones.
- Operating system. Smartphones and iPhones use Android and iOS, respectively. Tablets also use Android, but in addition to this, they also use Windows 10 OS, which turns the gadget into a full-fledged compact computer device. iPad tablets manufactured by Apple also use iOS.
- Mobile connection. Smartphones here are beyond any competition, but tablets from the best companies are now equipped with GSM modules for SIM cards. However, in everyday life, making calls from a tablet is very inconvenient, except at home or in the office. The tablet weighs a lot and even connecting a headset cannot compensate for this inconvenience.
- Working on the Internet. A tablet is more suitable for this purpose, since more information is displayed on a larger screen. Simple search controls let you quickly find the sites, images, videos, and more you need.
- Photo and video shooting. The smartphone is always at hand, so its cameras are of higher quality and can be activated at any time. The tablet is not intended for these purposes at all, so their camera characteristics are minimal. The most important thing is the presence of a front camera, which is required for video communication in instant messengers.
- Battery. Due to their large dimensions, tablets are equipped with batteries with increased capacity. They have a longer operating life without recharging, but this increases the overall weight of the device significantly.
When comparing both devices, it is impossible to give a clear preference to one of them. It all depends on the area of use where each gadget manifests itself most fully and reveals its capabilities to the maximum.
Video which smartphone manufacturer is better and more reliable in quality Top 11 2021?
Don't be afraid to buy from this store if you follow the main rules that I mentioned. Now, this store has become too famous, and its owner values its reputation very much. Therefore, if they send you a product of poor quality, if there is evidence (record of unpacking), you will win the dispute and your money will be returned. You just need to be patient with delivery and you will receive a purchase that is 2 times or more cheaper than in Russia!
Conclusion: - which smartphone manufacturer do you know better now? Read the article carefully, estimate your capabilities and you can order a phone! Good luck with your shopping!

Asus Zenfone 8 Flip – 824832
In this context, "flip" means a slightly stripped-down model of the device. 5G is not supported on the device, although this is not critical. The full operation of this type of communication in Russia has not yet developed. And again, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is on board, coupled with 8 GB of RAM. The charging power was disappointing, only 30 W. I was pleased with the amount of ROM, which is 256 GB. Considering that the price has dropped by 10,000 rubles, you can turn a blind eye to all the shortcomings.
Advantages:
- retractable camera;
- autonomy;
- price.
Flaws:
- weak charge.
Price: 58894 rubles.
SAMSUNG
Samsung managed to take first place in the list of the best-selling phones in the world. Smartphones from this company are created with the perfect combination of efficiency, performance and accuracy. The latest technologies and features of this brand make it the most popular and reliable.
Popular Samsung smartphone models are: Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S11, Galaxy Note9, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note10+, Galaxy S9+, Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note8, Galaxy Fold, Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, Galaxy M31 , Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung Galaxy M21, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite, Samsung Galaxy A71 5G, Galaxy A90 and Samsung Galaxy M40.
