Meizu M8

Advantages: Intelligently assembled, sits pleasantly in the hand, there is no feeling of excessive lightness. After the Samsung, I quickly switched. The navigator does not blunt, the geolocation is accurate. The camera is convenient, for girls there will be a convenient bonus for photo processing: "enlarge eyes, narrow cheekbones, etc." A very convenient system of screenshots and their processing and sending, more convenient than it was in the Samsung. There is a function of video screen capture, a nice little thing for recording games from the screen or streaming. The price is a clear bonus for this phone.

Disadvantages: There are problems with pressing the rightmost characters on the keyboard while typing messages - #,), ъ, e. It seems that the sensitivity of the sensor at the edge of the screen is worse.

Comment: An excellent smartphone for the money. If you don't need a stylish label, I definitely recommend it.

Advantages: 1) Large screen with an aspect ratio of 18: 9 (the pixel density is sufficient not to see the pixels) 2) Autonomy (including charging time, it charges quickly enough) 3) Adequate performance 4) The amount of RAM and internal memory 5) Not a bad camera 6) Assembling the device (does not creak or play) 7) Fingerprint scanner

Disadvantages: 1) Raw firmware (as of January 18, 2019) 2) Auto brightness, which adjusts the brightness depending on what is shown on the screen (cannot be turned off) 3) Russian price (well, seriously, 15-16k is a lot for such a device, fortunately there is a Yandex market and similar services on which you can find cheaper)

Comment: Raw firmware, which is not very well optimized: the multitasking menu opens with a half-second-second delay (UPD: After updating to Flyme 7.1.5.1G, the latency was slightly reduced to a quarter of a second); fast scrolling of social media feed.networks (and indeed everywhere) is very slow. Unloads applications from RAM (this happens due to energy saving, and in a pure android this can be disabled, but in Flyme I did not find how to do this). Also, personally, for me, something closes on a metal case, and when the phone is on the table (and not in your hands), and you try to look through, the touchscreen is buggy (when you use the device in your hands, everything is fine). Most likely this is a marriage, but before buying it is worth clarifying this point (UPD: Marriage, nevertheless, noticed that the screen began to move away from the metal case from below, and also a buggy touchscreen can be cured by high-tech tapping on the screen until the touchscreen returns to normal). In general, for 10-12k this is a good device, although you can find more interesting ones (the same Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, or Note 5). UPD: The sound in the headphones is surprisingly decent. The detail is good, the dynamics are excellent, the scene is already average; But with all this, there are too many lows, and there is no way to fix it with an equalizer, there is a sub in any case (you can only reduce this sub with an equalizer, which will make intelligibility on the lows).

Advantages: An amazingly bright and high quality screen for the price. The pixels are not visible (only in a magnifying glass), when tilting left and right up and down, the colors are not inverted. Thin, light and small (only 72mm wide, and now even state employees make 75 millimeters or more). Convenient for those who do not need a shovel. Very nicely assembled - a monolithic brick. 4 RAM, 64 storage - finally, such a form factor (and for such a price) has such characteristics. Comfortable Flyme shell. Good battery life - survives all day in "I live in social networks, never letting go" mode. What more could you want?

Disadvantages: Reviews on Yandex.Market. It looks like people want uber performance and cameras like the Samsung S10 from a 7300 phone. Previously, at this price point, there was only slag like Ulefone or Dogee, which lived normally for the first month. I don't know who had it "buggy" and "lagged" there - despite the fact that the Flyme version is fresh for January 2020, nothing slows down.

Comment: A great phone for those who want to carry it in their pocket. The camera matches the price. It shoots well in the light, bad in the dark. But I repeat - this phone costs 7300, don't expect the quality of photo flags from it. For social media, photographs taken outdoors or in a well-lit room - please. Night masterpieces, 4K video, 240FPS slow motion - this is a completely different price category.

Advantages: Large amount of memory, affordable price, speed of operation, spacious screen, nice design, holds a charge for a long time, good camera

Disadvantages: Didn't find

Comment: Best phone I've ever had. Sony and Asus, which I had, are at a higher price, but in performance and work they are inferior to Meise

Advantages: Bright screen, long battery life. Worked for 7 hours in games, watching video and music. The screen does not glare, there are no brakes. Enough memory and performance. I bought it at a discount, so for its inexpensive price it is an excellent device, but without bells and whistles.

Disadvantages: The camera is average, but for me it was not the most important thing. There is no nfs, but it is almost nowhere in budget phones.

Comment: An excellent device for watching videos in excellent quality, for productive games at medium settings. The speaker is loud.

Advantages: Lots of memory

Comment: I bought it for my son. Works. I did not find any flaws.

Advantages: Great performance for a very ridiculous price. Nice camera. Lots of accessories

Disadvantages: The slot for 2 sim and micro cards is the same, i.e. either sim, or else memory. Stupid meizu system, when all applications cannot be "called", but you have to go to the play market if accidentally thrown from the screen

Comment: The next one will also be meizu, because, at times better than apples and samsungs, there used to be both. No comparison!

Advantages: For 8300 a good smartphone.

Disadvantages: The work of T9 is not convenient. Hangs happen. Not all applications on the desktop show new messages, but this is a feature of updates, most likely. Very slippery in the hands. Be careful. A case won't hurt.

Comment: The second month - the flight is normal.

Advantages: The phone block itself is compact and the screen is wide, pleasant and easy to read. Good pixel density. Photos from the main camera are excellent, maybe a little dim, but it's okay, a lot of applications for working with photos, so this is not a minus. It is pleasant in the hand. Looks stylish, modern. Doesn't slow down.

Disadvantages: Selfie camera, honestly not very good. I would like a quick charge. It would be possible to put a cover in the kit, which is difficult to find to this day. No NFC. Well, this is more of nitpicking, and not significant flaws.

Comment: I bought it for my mother's birthday in 2019, so I took it in a golden color. A very pleasant experience. Used it myself before the date of the gift - 1 month. I have not heard any complaints from my mother, she is happy.

Advantages: I bought one for my mother in early November from China for 6200. For this amount and with such characteristics, the closest competitor will cost from China under 9. It is suitable for those who want a more or less modern filling for little money. Let me remind you 4 RAM and 64 built-in memory. Yes, the processor is not the fastest, but the phone is not positioned as advanced.

Disadvantages: the only drawback is not the best camera, but installing an open camera from the playmarket relatively levels the quality.

Comment: I forgot to mention that, unlike Xiaomi, the kit does not include a cover and glass if you order a standard package. that is, or take on the side glass and a cover or a bag with dopas.
