Best performance smartphones: victory to Chinese phone

Antutu -a Chinese app used to benchmark phones and devices- has just posted a list of 10 best performance smartphones for May 2016. And the result can surprise you. The champion is not the flagships from big brands like Apple or Korea giant Samsung. And it’s not the other powerhouses from LG, HTC either. The trophy goes to a representative from Chinese smartphone brand- Vivo Xplay 5 Elite with 138706 points.

We’re gonna have a look at Vivo Xplay 5 Elite specs again to see if this phone deserve the first spot. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 820 and runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It packs a hefty 6GB of RAM and a 128GB of non-expandable ROM. For the photography, there is a 16MP rear cam paired coupled with an 8MP selfie shooter on this device. Elite sports a 5.43-inch display with a 3600mAh battery life .

Being placed at the second place is LeEco Max 2, and Zuk Z2 Pro takes the 3rd place. 3 top spots of this chart belong to the 6GB RAM smartphone. Meanwhile, Galaxy S7 Edge- come in the 5th position, right after Xiaomi Mi 5 in the 4th place. If you notice, you will see that the first 5 smartphones all have one thing in common: Snapdragon 820 processor. You might wonder where is the Apple phone. Then here they are, in the 6th and 7th spot with iPhone 6S and SE. In the 8th position is LG G5. After G5 is two last spot with critical dropping points occupied by Meizu Pro 6 and Honor V8 respectively.

Best performance smartphones: iPhone & Samsung are still in the game

As you can see that two third of the smartphones on this list are the Chinese smartphone with 4 of them keeping the top spots. It seems like that the Chinese smartphone producers are bringing their A games to this market. And even though these powerful and affordable “made in China” phones are superior, the iPhone and Galaxy flagships still have their certain positions.

Best thin smartphones are here! Oppo, Vivo, and even the Korea giant- Samsung had joined in the race. So let’s see which one will be the champion of the thinnest smartphone king title!

1. Samsung Galaxy A8 (5.9 mm)

The Korea giant joined the best thin smartphone market family with a spokesman named the Galaxy A8. The familiar full metal unibody design of this series remains at the A8. It features the bezels-sides and the rounded corners which give us a solid feeling. With the thickness of 5.9 mm, this phone is one of the thinnest phones in the Samsung Galaxy family. The Samsung Galaxy A8 price is at $439.

The phone’s 5.7 inch Super AMOLED display is coated with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Under the hood, you can find an SND 615 chipset as well as Android 5.1 Lollipop. There are a 16MP rear cam and a 5MP selfie snapper housing on the phone. In addition to the Samsung Galaxy A8 specs, it sports a 3050mAh battery, a 2GB of RAM coupled with 32GB of ROM. If this memory is not enough, you can expand it up to 128GB.

Vivo V3 Max and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro are two of the hottest Chinese smartphones nowadays. But let’s see which one is the real winner in the following comparison! 

Vivo V3 Max vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro: Phone with the best performance is…

Desgin-wise, both come with a beautiful all-metal unibody design and sport a fingerprint scanner on the back. As for Vivo V3 Max specs and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro specs, there are also many similarities we need to note. First of all, each of them boasts a 5.5-inch Full HD IPS LCD screen, a dual SIM, Android Lollipop OS (with different UI on top: Funtouch OS 2.5 for the V3 Max and MIUI 7.0 for the Note 3 Pro), and a microSD card slot to expand the ROM up to 128GB. Basically, they are good models you can take into consideration when it comes to buying a new device.

In terms of differences, the V3 Max seems a flagship with 4GB RAM, Hi-Fi tech, and an 8MP selfie camera. However, apart from them, the rest of its hardware, including 32GB ROM, an SD652 (4 x 1.8GHz + 4 x 1.4GHz) chip, a 13MP main snapper (with PDAF plus LED flash), and a 3,000mAh battery without fast charging tech, are not really outstanding.

For Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, it’s got an SD650 (4 x 1.4GHz + 2 x 1.8GHz) which is not very different from the V3 Max’s processor in terms of strength, according to many analyses. The secondary shooter is a bit less strong due to being capable of just 5 megapixels, yet its 16MP primary (supporting f/2.0, PDAF, plus dual LED flash) cam is definitely better than the Max’s. Moreover, the Pro’s cell is also larger with 4,000mAh cell and fast charging tech. So cool, right?! But, wait! We can’t forget to compare the RAM. Xiaomi gives consumers 2 choices: 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM and 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM. Obviously, neither of them can be as good as the Vivo V3 Max 4GB RAM. This is really a hard question to solve. To get more useful information to decide the winner, let’s check out the next part for the machines’ costs and availability.

Vivo V3 Max vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro: Phone with the best price is…

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro price is around $180 while Vivo V3 Max price is about $360, nearly double. Xiaomi Redmi 3 Note Pro has been famous for being an excellent, budget smartphone, and now it’s still able to prove that. Then, we’d like to say Vivo may get better performance, but Xiaomi gets both: performance and price.

At the very last day of November, we welcomed two latest smartphones from Vivo: Vivo X6 launch and Vivo X6 Plus launch. Check out what they’ve got as well as their prices! Maybe you will find it a perfect new one to replace your old phone. 

Vivo X6 and Vixo X6 Plus: Powerful 4GB RAM flagship duo

Both of them are new members of Vivo X series and it is not strange at all to see them come with metal unibody builds and 2.5D Gorilla Glass.

In terms of camera, there are a 13MP rear one equipped with PDAF and dual tone LED flash, and an 8MP front shooter with wide-angle lens.
