The most popular phones in Russia

It's no secret that today the mobile gadget market is at the highest level of its development. In this segment, dozens of manufacturing companies that annually produce dozens of models with different technical parameters, represented in different price segments, function successfully. As a buyer who wants to buy an electronic gadget, is able to understand all this assortment? How can he know which of the available phones will best meet his expectations, preferences and, most importantly, will suit him according to the ratio of his value and functionality?

Of course, each of the manufacturers tries to influence the client through the media, using various marketing tricks, sometimes - even attributing to the mobile phone those characteristics that he does not possess. However, those gadgets that do not meet the user's expectations are simply not included in the list of "Most popular phones".

Secret of success

Analyzing gadgets that have become more or less popular, we can trace some patterns that clearly affect it. With their help you can understand what is the "secret", which allows you to determine the most popular mobile phones. And, in general terms, we can say that we know it.

This is an ideal ratio of different characteristics of the smartphone model.

For example, the ratio of quality, design and technical parameters to the cost of the device. Combining each of these criteria allows you to determine which is the most popular phone on the market today, as well as why it has become so.

As a rule, stylish, "smart" in their work (possessing a powerful processor), affordable devices that have a corresponding (high) build quality are popular. Only such a gadget can be called "The most popular phone of the year".

In this article, we will introduce you to devices that already deserve such a title. They are actively bought by users who know what goals they pursue and what they want to get from this device in the end. Thus, one buyer can give preference to a more affordable gadget, wishing to save money for its purchase, and the other will appreciate the smartphone's technology and extensive functionality, allowing you to enjoy with it new options.

How shall we divide it?

Considering all this, as well as different price categories, which include the most popular phones, we propose to build this article-rating on the basis of a simple but effective classification. It is guided mainly by the criterion of the cost of the model. Thus, in the article we will divide the most popular brands of phones, depending on which price class can be attributed to this or that model. The most expedient, probably, is the division by marks of 10, 20, 30 thousand rubles. They allow more or less to form similar groups of devices that are most in demand. Well, let's start the description.

Category "up to 10 thousand"

First of all, of course, we will present the most accessible representatives of the rubric "The most popular phones", the price of which does not exceed the bar of 10 thousand rubles. This includes representatives of the most famous brands in the world: Samsung, LG, Lenovo and others. Of those numerous Chinese smartphones that are in the same category that are in high demand, we were not able to find. Therefore, we present "classical" models that deserve attention.

The most accessible of them is the representative of the line of models Lumia, promoted by Nokia. At a price of only 4 thousand rubles, the device has a TFT display with 4 inches with a resolution of 854 by 480 pixels, 512 megabytes of RAM and a 4-core processor with a clock speed of 1.2 GHz. With these parameters, and also having a battery with a capacity of 1430 mAh, the device has all chances to be represented, as the most popular phone in Russia, operating on the basis of Windows Phone. Especially "tasty" in it is, of course, the price.

The second representative of the market, which is also available at its price, but is of Korean origin, is the Samsung Galaxy Star Plus. The device has all the same 512 MB of RAM, TFT-screen, as well as a battery for 1500 mAh. Its cost is 4500 rubles, which allows us to talk about some competition with the above Lumia.

IPS displays

Do not think that all popular "budget" are offered to the buyer with a less quality TFT-screen. In fact, there are quite a few examples of implementing an IPS display on the same available device. For example, this is the Lenovo S660. The device is equipped with a powerful 3000 mAh battery, a more colorful screen and a MediaTek MT6582M processor. With these characteristics, the phone is offered for 9-10 thousand rubles.

Another interesting model that is popular is the LG L90. The smartphone will cost you 9 thousand, but it also has a hardy battery (2540 mAh), a 4.7-inch IPS display and a Qualcomm processor with 4 cores.

The category "from 10 to 20 thousand"

Above were the most popular phones, the cost of which did not exceed the mark of 10 thousand rubles. Now it's time to talk about more expensive devices. These include, in particular, Explay Dream and LG Nexus 5. The first is offered at a price of 12 thousand rubles, having a battery for 2000 mAh, the heart of the MT6589T (4 cores of 1.5 GHz each), a 5-inch display with a resolution 1920 at 1080 points. The second has the same screen, but is equipped with a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. This model is sold for 20 thousand rubles.

Former flagships

Particular attention should be paid to such a category of popular gadgets, as the once-famous and advanced "flagships." Apple, for example, is considered a model of the 4th generation (iPhone 4 / 4S), and Samsung - Galaxy S4. The latter, of course, boasts a more powerful battery and technical descriptions of the platform on which the gadget functions. Speaking of the product with the apple on the back cover, we mean the top of the style and the technological progress that its developer company has made in recent years.

The category "from 20 to 30 thousand"

More expensive are the most popular phones at a price of up to 30 thousand rubles. These are, mainly, the models that follow the flagship version in the developer's lineup. For example, this is Samsung Galaxy Alpha.

In all its parameters, it could claim the title of "flagship": a display with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels, a powerful processor with 4 cores, each of which has a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz; As well as 4 cores with a frequency of 1.3 GHz; 2 GB of RAM and a battery for 1860 mAh. Another feature of this device is its high-tech and stylish appearance (this effect is achieved due to the metal case of the device). The price at the level of 22 thousand rubles for such a model can be called democratic.

In addition to Alpha, in our category, where the most popular phones are presented, LG G3 (3000 mAh for battery is an essential parameter), Snapdragon 801 processor (the most powerful among devices of this class to date), a colorful display with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels are also present.

Popular (from this category) are also considered HTC One M8 (once the flagship of the Taiwanese corporation at a price of 25 thousand) with its similar processor, like the G3 and a simpler display.

And, of course, you can not miss the sensational Galaxy S5 flagship. This model, offered at a price of 24 thousand rubles, boasts 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, a Snapdragon 801 processor. It is the most popular phone ("Android") among all in its segment.

There were no phones running Windows Phone. In particular, we are talking about the popular Nokia Lumia 930 model. The phone has a bright screen, stylish design (their branded multicolored cover plates are bright and bold), high-tech stuffing (the same Snapdragon) and an attractive price of 25 thousand rubles.

Category "over 30 thousand"

The most expensive are traditionally models, the price tag for which exceeds 30,000 rubles. It, first of all, the newest and most popular versions from such "flagship" manufacturers as Samsung and Apple. Consequently, this includes the Apple iPhone 5S (whose price is about 33 thousand rubles), iPhone 6 (42 thousand and more), as well as 6S (46-48 thousand rubles apiece). These are the latest products from Apple's leading mobile industry leader. As for the Korean concern, we can recall products like Samsung Galaxy S6 (about 40-42 thousand rubles) and Samsung Note 4 (the price is the same). These are the most powerful and most high-tech smartphones that meet all the requirements of the market. The latest models developed by this company are in no way inferior in their indicators (both from the point of view of possibilities and from the perspective of design) to the same "apple" ones.

Category "key phones"

In the article, as you could see, emphasis was placed on smartphones - devices with a touch screen, a processor and a full-fledged operating system. Now I would like to name the most popular cell phones. In this context, it is precisely the keyboard devices of the "obsolete" model (as many call them).

Among those most famous are Nokia. Models Nokia 515, 220, 230, 225 are today the most sold devices on the market among keyphones. Behind them go the less well-known TeXet TM-229, DEXP Larus B1, Sigma mobile X-treme DZ67. These phones can be called very convenient to use, inexpensive and practical in everyday life. You can also mention Alcatel One Touch 1009X, Samsung S5611, FLY TS111 and so on.

These phones are usually used as an "additional" pair with the main smartphone. Often they are taken for the opportunity to call the numbers of different operators, in order, thus, to save on communication services.

conclusions

Having characterized a large number of phone models, we can conclude that there are different directions, different criteria for assessing how much a particular gadget is suitable for the user or not. Therefore, when choosing a device for yourself, you should clearly understand what qualities it should possess and at the price it should be offered. And then you just need to look a bit to find the best option for yourself.

Nobody can know beforehand how this or that device will show itself in practice. Therefore, we recommend that in the process of selecting a model, pay attention to its sellability and the feedback of those who have already purchased one.
