All xiaomi smartphones. Rating of the best Xiaomi smartphones: solutions for every taste. Budget models of the Redmi family: when you just need a cheap phone

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 the Russian market, from which it is difficult for an unprepared person to choose the best one. Therefore, we have compiled for you a list 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 model range for each price range, but in terms of the number of models it is, of course, ahead of all the budget ones. 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 messengers, watching videos, and also surfing the Internet. But if that's exactly 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.

Flaws:

  • 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. 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. Screen, dimensions and appearance Redmi 6 is 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 battery life.

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).

Flaws:

  • 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.

Flaws:

  • 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 the usual orange cardboard box for 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. Best Xiaomi smartphone the budget category is equipped with a productive 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 contrasting display;
  • good value for money.

Flaws:

  • plastic body parts.

The best Xiaomi smartphones of 2019 with a powerful battery

The most powerful batteries equipped with phones of the popular Mi Max line from the world Xiaomi brand... 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 buy a Xiaomi smartphone with a powerful battery, then the 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 protection of 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

The second generation of a large and powerful smartphone from the Mi Max line is also not losing ground and is being actively bought by users. This smartphone slightly 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 exceptions are 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 being almost two years old, the reviewed smartphone is equipped with a USB-C port. In addition, it supports fast charging, which, given the large battery capacity (5300 mAh), is important advantage... The cost of the phablet starts at 13 thousand rubles, so you can decide for yourself 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;
  • port USB Type-C and fast charging function;
  • performance and speed;
  • the quality of the wireless modules;
  • with a moderate load, the battery lasts for three days.

Flaws:

  • 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 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 devices Samsung and LG, and 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 background blur.

It is equally important that the smartphone is equipped with powerful processor Snapdragon 845 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.

Flaws:

  • no stereo speakers and audio jack;
  • soiled 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;

Flaws:

  • 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. Usually, 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 a Full HD resolution. 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;

Flaws:

  • 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 precisely for the competent combination of low price, high quality and good characteristics that the products of the Chinese manufacturer are loved by millions of people.

1. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S 6 / 128GB

The review opens with a good frameless smartphone Mi Mix 2C. The device is equipped with a Snapdragon 845 processor and Adreno 630 graphics. They are also installed in the rest of the devices in 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 outdated any time 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. In the DxOMark ranking, this phone received 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.

Flaws:

  • 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 competently hide the front camera at 24/2 MP. 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;
  • smartphone with the best camera in the presented rating;
  • sound quality in speakers and headphones;
  • excellent equipment;
  • excellent display calibration.

Flaws:

  • 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-new 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 face unlocking, 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.

Flaws:

  • 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 look - in general, a 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 a mediocre design (although this is a subjective question), so the best solution would be to save up more money and buy the flagship Mi 6, which will definitely be relevant for a very long time.

Well, it's time to tell you about the best, that is, the best Xiaomi smartphones in 2017. The Chinese company burst into the market so rapidly mobile devices that many users do not even realize that she is only 6 years old. So, in 6 years, turn from a developer of a proprietary MIUI shell into a largest holding that has filled the market with inexpensive, but good smartphones. The lineup of Xiaomi phones is probably superior to any other from competing companies. So often no manufacturer updates its lines. Well, and the last praise to Xiaomi smartphones - no one can offer such hardware "filling" at a low price.

Now let's go directly to the ranking of the best Xiaomi smartphones in 2017. As already noted, the company has a wide range of phones, it is often updated, so it is impossible to fit each solution into the top, and there is exactly zero sense in it. We have selected the latest and most current smartphones Xiaomi is in our rating, so if you don't find any model you love, don't blame it. Let's not pull the cat for ..., in general, we start from the end.

Xiaomi Redmi 3S

  • Xiaomi Redmi 3S price: from 8,500 rubles (we take price tags from AliExpress) (best seller on AliExpress)
  • Features: a metal smartphone with a large battery, an up-to-date version of the OS, a scanner and powerful hardware

Redmi 3S was presented exactly a year ago, instantly becoming one of the best Xiaomi smartphones. The phone was admired, it was set as an example to other companies, and every user who more or less understood in technology wanted to get it. And I got it - the smartphone was inexpensive. Over the year, the company has released a mountain of new products that have moved closer to the end of the Xiaomi Redmi 3S rating. However, the smartphone still looks good today.

Here we have a 5-inch HD display - the perfect ratio to keep your battery from draining quickly. Really usable 13 + 5 megapixel cameras that will not leave the user without good pictures on Instagramm. The budget Snapdragon 430 chip is responsible for performance - it is still a regular on a huge number of inexpensive but good smartphones. The amount of RAM, like permanent memory, can be chosen: 2 or 3 GB, 16 or 32 GB. And in fact, and in that case, problems with insufficient memory do not happen. What really pleases about Xiaomi smartphones is the powerful batteries. Redmi 3S received a 4100 mAh battery, which does not have to be charged for three days with average use.

One of the best Xiaomi smartphones has got a smart fingerprint scanner, supports 2 SIM cards, works in 4G networks. If you are not sure which smartphone to choose under 10,000 rubles, then Xiaomi Redmi 3S carries the answer to your question.

Xiaomi Mi4

  • How much can you buy Xiaomi Mi4: over 6,000 rubles (reliable seller on Aliexpress)
  • Features: FullHD screen with excellent picture, stylish body, flagship processor, although not new, decent amounts of memory and good cameras

Which Xiaomi smartphone is better to buy in order to save good money? Yes, that's Xiaomi Mi4. The phone was released back in 2014, becoming the flagship of the company. Three years have passed, and it is selling well, and in terms of its characteristics, it dries up its competitors in its price segment. Try to find a good Snapdragon 801 smartphone for 6,000 rubles. You see.

Xiaomi Mi4, which we simply could not include in the top of the best smartphones from the company, is presented in a stylish case made of metal and glass. On the top of the front panel, you can even find the cute "Mi" logo that is so beloved by many. The device is equipped with a 5-inch screen with FullHD-resolution, which, as you can imagine, provides an excellent picture. The tandem of 13 and 5 MP cameras still take nice looking photos today. Highlights the Snapdragon 801 smartphone, which provides good performance, but it gets warm. The chip was mated with 3 GB of RAM - a lot even by today's standards. 16 GB allocated for user tasks. Unfortunately, no memory card slot.

One of the most powerful smartphones Xiaomi and a fingerprint scanner, which, perhaps, someone does not need. Otherwise, Xiaomi Mi4 can be unconditionally included in the list of the best phones of the popular Chinese company.

Xiaomi Mi Note 2

  • How much can you buy Xiaomi Mi Note 2: from 21,500 rubles (best price)
  • Features: premium body materials, large screen, excellent cameras, top-end features, large battery

If I had my way, Mi Note 2 would be the first in the ranking of the best from Xiaomi, but we rely not only on personal preferences, but also on user reviews, as well as the number of orders in online stores (which, no matter how many orders, will show the real champion). Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is a flagship, from body materials to hardware. The smartphone was introduced last year, but to this day it is relevant and very good-looking. It will especially appeal to admirers of solid devices with an ideal price / quality ratio.

A smartphone meets us with a 5.7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels - a fairy tale for the eyes. Excellent oleophobic coating and high-quality glass only improve perception. Next, we get acquainted with a couple of excellent top-level cameras: the main one is 22 megapixels with macro mode, the front one is 8 megapixels to take vivid self-portraits. Performance is provided by the still flagship Snapdragon 821 - the penultimate chip in the lineup, if anything. The company did not skimp on memory either, providing the user with 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of storage - gorgeous and nothing else.

The Xiaomi Mi Note 2 smartphone received a rather powerful 4070 mAh battery, capable of providing the user with good autonomy. Mi Note 2 definitely deserves the right to be among the best Xiaomi smartphones. Maybe someone wants to argue?

Xiaomi Mi Mix

Again, this is a gorgeous device that deserves praise and first place in every top of the best, but unfortunately it is not capable of boasting such widespread distribution as, for example, Redmi 4X. Xiaomi Mi Mix, whatever one may say, is an expensive pleasure that is not available to everyone. Therefore, we will put it only in the middle of the ranking of the best Xiaomi smartphones 2016-2017.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix attracts, first of all, with its bezel-less screen. It was this smartphone that became the starting point in the emergence of budget frameless (for example), although it is not the first of its kind. The screen is large (6.4 inches) and very high quality. Surrounded by a ceramic case - for true connoisseurs. There is only one main camera, but the shooting quality is excellent. Once again, the flagship Snapdragon 821 chip, which is assisted by 4 or 6 GB of RAM, is just a godsend for the gamer. The drive is also large: 128 or even 256 GB. A good 4400mAh battery completes all this splendor.

Xiaomi Mi Mix will certainly appeal to connoisseurs of modern gadgets, stylish performance and top-end features. This smartphone is relevant today and will remain so in the near future. Definitely a well-deserved place in the ranking of Xiaomi smartphones in 2017.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2

And again a novelty, and again powerful, and again very cool. Xiaomi Mi Max 2 came out a couple of months ago as a continuation of the line of phablets - huge phones for comfortable content consumption. If the first model was adopted as another smartphone by Xiaomi, then Mi Max 2 surprised with its stylish body, quality materials and excellent ergonomics. It's not just one of the best Xiaomi smartphones - it's the best phablet on the market right now.

In short, the smartphone received a 6.44-inch display with high resolution, full metal body, high-performance Snapdragon chip and fast charging function. Works Xiaomi Mi Max 2 on the most current Android version, thanks to a capacious 5300 mAh battery, it can do without recharging for up to 3 days in intensive mode. He also has a fingerprint scanner that works in a matter of moments, and without LTE smartphone did not stay. Also, there are no problems with permanent memory, which is available to choose from 64 or 128 GB.

If you don't know which Xiaomi smartphone to choose, but still prefer large, very large displays, then the Mi Max 2 looks best.

Xiaomi Redmi 4A

Let's leave the flagship and middle segment alone, considering the most cheap smartphone Xiaomi. The company showed Redmi 4A last year, it is an ultra-budget solution, the main goal of which was to impose competition in the lower segment. And he succeeded. In a very short period of time, Redmi 4A has won the title of the best inexpensive smartphone... For its price tag, he really offers good characteristics, which sunk into the soul of users.

Xiaomi Redmi 4A is presented in a non-separable plastic case. Typical display specs for this segment: 5 inches with HD resolution. Average 13 + 8MP cameras, which are nevertheless the best in their class. By the way, the main sensor has autofocus and optical stabilization - from other companies and expensive smartphones they cannot boast of such characteristics, not to mention the budget segment. Performance is provided by the same budget Snapdragon 425, but there are no problems with the smartphone and many games. Versions with 16 GB of main memory and 32 GB are available to choose from. RAM in both cases is 2 GB. As always, Xiaomi has worried about autonomy - 3160 mAh with an energy-efficient processor provide a couple of days of active work.

When asked which budget smartphone is the best in 2017, the answer is obvious - Xiaomi Redmi 4A. And we will confirm this not only by us, but also by the reviews of thousands of users.

Xiaomi Mi5 Prime

And again, top-level smartphones. The Xiaomi Mi5 Prime is an enhanced version of the company's flagship last year. An excellent device with powerful hardware, which is comfortably located in the affordable segment. The smartphone is very popular with users, which is confirmed by the number of orders on AliExpress. Despite the recent release of the new flagship Xiaomi, Mi5 Prime has not lost its relevance and attractiveness.

The smartphone is equipped with an optimal screen with a diagonal of 5.15 inches, the resolution is, of course, FullHD. A 16-megapixel single camera adorns the soft-touch glass back. The camera is the best in its class with autofocus and dual LED flash. Hardware led by Snapdragon 820 provides high performance in any applications and games. 3 GB of RAM is responsible for multitasking, the storage is designed for 64 GB. The battery is not as bulky as in other Xiaomi models, but the 3000 mAh battery looks impressive. The Xiaomi Mi5 Prime has a fingerprint scanner combined with the Home button, even the smartphone has got an NFC module.

If you want a flagship, but there is no money for Mi6, Xiaomi Mi5, which took pride of place in our ranking, - perfect solution, which will give a lot of positive emotions.

Xiaomi Mi6

  • How much can you buy Xiaomi Mi6: from 27,000 rubles (official seller on AliExpress)
  • Features: latest flagship Xiaomi, one of affordable smartphones top-level on the market, all characteristics claim the flagship level

And now the last flagship has arrived. But we will not put it in the first place in the ranking of the best Xiaomi smartphones. Yes, he is very cool, yes, many dream of him, and more expensive flagships from other brands tremble at its mention, but if you follow the preferences of users and take into account the financial crisis in the country, then this is where Mi6 belongs.

Whatever one may say, the smartphone is great. Compared to other phones of a similar level, the Xiaomi Mi6 is usually one step ahead. Stylish body made of glass and metal not only looks expensive, but also feels the same in the hands. A screen with the same characteristics as its predecessor, covered with Gorilla Glass, which provides maximum protection against scratches. Settled on the back dual camera and not just for beauty, as Chinese companies often do, but to take great photos. Incidentally, the manufacturer was inspired iPhone camera 7 Plus (). There is optical stabilization and autofocus, video recording can be done in 4K. The processor, of course, is the latest Snapdragon 835, which is complemented by a whopping 6GB of RAM, providing some of the best performance indicators. Permanent memory to choose from 64 or 128 GB - no problem.

The large 3350mAh battery lasts a long time thanks to the energy efficient processor and recharges quickly thanks to Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology. We think the question of which flagship smartphone from Xiaomi is better to choose in 2017 disappears.

Xiaomi Redmi 4X

  • Redmi 4X price: from 6500 rubles (seller with the largest number of orders)
  • Features: low cost and good performance, as they say, excellent value for money

A reader who is not very familiar with Xiaomi smartphones will ask the question: why is it Redmi 4X, which is clearly inferior in characteristics to many participants in the rating, turned out to be one of the leaders? The answer is simple: it was determined here by the buyers themselves, who disassemble the smartphone from the sellers of online stores like hot cakes. Xiaomi Redmi 4X is the second in the number of orders from one seller on AliExpress. And in terms of functionality, it deserves a place among the best Xiaomi smartphones.

Before us is a metal device of compact dimensions. It has a 5-inch screen with HD-resolution - the picture is cool, you don't need more. The 13-megapixel main and 5-megapixel front cameras shoot very decently for their price, and the 8-core Snapdragon 435 chip in tandem with 2 or 3 GB of RAM launches the latest games with a bang. You can choose the amount of memory yourself: 16 or 32 GB. Naturally, the difference in cost. Finally, again, the manufacturer pleases us with a large 4100 mAh battery - perfect autonomy.

Among the best smartphones under 7,000 rubles, Xiaomi Redmi 4X takes the leading position. And this is not surprising. At this price point, you simply won't find a Snapdragon-powered all-metal smartphone that will also be supported by the manufacturer in the near future.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X

Finally, the leader of our ranking of the best Xiaomi phones in 2017. They say about Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, they adore it, it is sold in huge quantities. And it’s no coincidence. In the new smartphone Xiaomi managed to find the very middle ground - good performance at an affordable price. Yes, it is clear that the company's flagships are available (relative to other brands), but you cannot buy them for 8,000 rubles. But Redmi Note 4X in the minimum configuration - no problem. What do we get for this amount?

The all-metal body and high-quality assembly are the first. The large 5.5-inch FullHD screen is second. The powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor is the third. In my opinion, there is no need to continue. The smartphone is almost perfect. Cameras, however, do not reach the flagships, but many smartphones for this amount do not reach the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X. Pleased with the abundance of versions, which differ in memory size: there is a junior model - 3 + 16 GB, a middle one - 3 + 32 GB, an older solution - 4 + 64 GB. In general, there is plenty to choose from. The company also did not score on the autonomy, equipping the phone with a 4100 mAh battery.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X will suit many, but almost everyone, if you are not one of those who, apart from the top segment, do not accept anything. Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X can be safely advised to everyone who does not know which smartphone to buy within 10,000 rubles.

Conclusion

Perhaps we will summarize. Good smartphones Xiaomi has plenty, each of them is worthy of attention. From the widest model range, you can choose an ultra-budget device for $ 100, and a modern flagship with a good camera and productive hardware. Xiaomi managed to find that price-performance ratio that meets the needs of 90% of users. No matter how you feel about this company from the Middle Kingdom, right now it is she who produces some of the best smartphones in huge quantities.

How do you feel about Xiaomi smartphones? Meizu or Xiaomi? Let's have a discussion!

Chinese manufacturer of mobile gadgets Xiaomi is one of the leaders Russian market... It is worthy of comparison with more eminent brands and even surpasses them in most indicators. Initially, the mobile phone from this company conquered with its price - it is several times lower than even for the most budgetary options of competitors. But today the lineup of Xiaomi has become much wider, and in it you can find the best options for consumers with different needs. In the rating of Xiaomi smartphones 2017, we have collected the best phones and offer you with its help to choose the best option for yourself.

10th place - Xiaomi Redmi 4A

We start with a state employee. On the Internet, the price of Xiaomi Redmi 4A does not exceed 6 thousand rubles, and in stores this model will cost about 7 thousand rubles. It is one of the cheapest phones from the manufacturer, but it also shows good performance and durability.

Let's walk through technical specifications... Screen with a diagonal of 5 inches, 16 GB of internal memory with 2 GB of RAM, it is possible to install a memory card up to 128 GB. The main 13MP camera with good focusing and stabilization guarantees high-quality images. With the 5 megapixel front camera, it will be convenient to chat on Skype and take bright selfies. The battery is not the most powerful by Xiaomi standards, but it still looks great against the background of competitors in the price segment - 3120 mAh. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor won't handle many of the latest games, and it shouldn't - that's not why budget smartphones are bought. There is no fingerprint scanner here, unlike later models, either. The case is made of plastic, which is logical given such a low price. But if you additionally use protective case, then it will be possible to keep the smartphone intact for a long time.

Overall, this is not the best smartphone in the world, but for the money it is definitely better than any other.

9th place - Xiaomi Mi 5C

This novelty in the flagship line appeared in the spring of 2017, and its price is also more than affordable in Russia - up to 13,000 rubles.

The main camera has 12 megapixels, and the front camera is not far behind it - 8 megapixels. The light sensitivity in this model is increased by 150%, and in combination with two-phase noise reduction and an optimization algorithm in several tiers, this guarantees high quality images. You will consider them on big screen with a diagonal of 5.15 inches and a resolution of 1920x1080.

The battery capacity is relatively small - 2860 mAh, but a fingerprint scanner has already appeared, and the body is made of metal. Like many budget Xiaomi smartphones, this model is not intended for 24/7 gaming, but it will be indispensable in everyday use.

This smartphone is guaranteed to be included in any review of smartphones from Xiaomi. You can hardly confuse it with any other, because the screen here has a diagonal of 6.44 inches!

The filling is at a decent level - 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of built-in memory with the optional use of a memory card up to 128 GB. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 processor with six cores looks good even a year after the presentation of the device. The main camera is also impressive - 16 megapixels. It is clear that to ensure the operation of such a gadget, you need to spend a lot of energy, but the manufacturers have foreseen this too, supplying it with a 4850 mAh battery.

At the exit, we get one of the top options from Xiaomi for shovel lovers. And at the same time, the price cannot but rejoice - less than 17 thousand rubles. Competitors nervously smoke on the sidelines.

7th place - Xiaomi Redmi Pro 64GB

Another novelty of 2016, relevant to this day. Under the "hood" we see the usual budget smartphone specifications - 64 GB of internal memory and 3 GB of RAM. The battery has been improved in comparison with previous versions, and its capacity is 4050 mAh. The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio X25 (MT6797T) processor with as many as ten cores.

But the main "feature" of the model is different - it has three cameras at once: two main and front. This is a clear attempt to compete with the iPhone, dropping the price of a competitor. The main camera with 13 megapixels guarantees high-quality capture of the main picture, while the auxiliary 5 megapixel is responsible for the image that is out of focus. Front-camera 5 megapixels allows you to take fairly clear pictures without blurry areas. And communication via Skype or Viber with its use is very convenient.

The price is again better than that of rivals in the same operational characteristics - less than 13 thousand rubles.

6th place - Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro 32Gb

The model appeared at the end of 2016, and today it has more than 70% positive ratings in the Yandex-Market. We will choose this smartphone among others for the reason that it is installed here good processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 to guarantee better performance in comparison with predecessors in the line. It is a little embarrassing that the standard configuration includes a memory card of only 32 GB, but there is an additional slot for 128 GB, which, as usual, is combined with a slot for a second SIM card.

Cameras are standard - 13 megapixels and 5 megapixels, respectively. A model is made in a metal case, it is possible to unlock the screen through a fingerprint scanner. And one more trump card is the 4100 mAh battery.

How did this model become so popular? Everything is very simple: its "filling" is practically in no way inferior to what is installed on the best smartphones of the company, although the Redmi line is still budgetary. Therefore, deciding to buy this model, you will acquire a high-quality device at a very reasonable price - less than 12 thousand rubles.

5th place - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 32Gb

Finally you waited - our review made it to the Redmi Note. This, of course, is not such a "shovel" as the Mi Max discussed above, but a 5.5-inch gadget is not so easy to hold in one hand.

It is the screen size that is the hallmark of the Note group in the Redmi lineup. Otherwise, the characteristics are literally identical - 13 megapixel main camera and 5 megapixel front camera, 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory and a combined slot for a SIM card or additional memory card up to 128 GB. Unlike the Redmi 4 Pro, the smartphone is powered by a MediaTek Helio X20 2100 MHz processor. And, of course, like everyone else best models 2016, the device has a fingerprint scanner and its body is made of durable metal. The battery is also from the category of "long-livers" - 4100 mAh.

4th place - Xiaomi Mi5S Plus 64Gb

And again the "shovel", but now the flagship - presented in the fall of 2016, the Mi 5S Plus model is no worse than the Xiaomi 2017 smartphones. Until May 2017, when the "six" appeared, this gadget was out of competition.

The screen has a diagonal of 5.7 inches, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of built-in memory. External card memory cannot be inserted - the slot is intended exclusively for the second SIM card. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back of the case. As usual, the flagship received the best processor - a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 821.

There are three cameras here - 13 megapixels each. It is equipped with phase detection autofocus and has a dual LED flash. Working synchronously and complementing each other, the cameras maximize color realism. The front camera is nominally weaker than many of its predecessors - 4 megapixels. But it must be borne in mind that the pixel in this case increased to two microns, and therefore the sensor receives much more light and the clarity of the image is significantly improved.

Such pleasure is not cheap - about 20 thousand rubles. But with such characteristics, competitors (for example, Google Pixel, about which they talk so much in the West) set the price several times higher - from 45 thousand rubles!

3rd place - Xiaomi Redmi 4X 16Gb

All news and reports from CES 2017 -.

Today Xiaomi is one of the largest manufacturers of portable electronic equipment in the world. She boldly competes with such well-known brands as Apple and Samsung. But even five years ago, nothing was heard about her in the United States and European countries.

Speaking of the presented number of models, the scale of Xiaomi is striking in its volume of products per unit of time. The structure of the available products, although large, is quite simple to understand. So, the main lines of production of the company are:

  • Xiaomi Mi smartphones;
  • Xiaomi Redmi smartphones;
  • Xiaomi MiPad tablets.

In order to find out the basic principles of the Xiaomi company, as well as to understand in detail all the upcoming novelties of the fashion brand for 2017, we will investigate the structure of its linear product direction in more detail.

Xiaomi Mi

This is the first line of flagships created by the company and represented by the Mi-One model, which began such a successful development process Chinese smartphones in the global portable electronic equipment market.
The features of this line are that it:

  • The first to receive all system updates, as well as new firmware;
  • Possesses unique cameras, with many advanced features: two-tone flashes, optical stabilizers and most other modern gadgets;
  • Has an excellent design combined with good quality assemblies (metal case);
  • It is a series of powerful smartphones with advanced capabilities (Qualcomm processors).

This line, in turn, is subdivided into:

  • Mi models, the main difference of which is a relatively small screen;
  • Models "Mi Note", phablet with a screen of 5.7 inches;
  • Models "Mi Max", which is a combination of smartphone and tablet with a diagonal of 6.44 inches.

Xiaomi Redmi

The basic principle of the company is to take into account all the wishes of users in each new model. Thus, the Redmi line was born, combining the perfect compromise of price and quality. Feature and distinguishing feature is the MediaTek processor. Today, after a fairly long period of time, the company has begun partnering with Qualcomm, and yet a small number of models are released on the basis of Snapdragon. At the same time, the issue of price has not changed in any way. The Redmi line has retained the title of the most cost-effective option in terms of value for money. Distinctive features are:

  • The main principle is to listen to the opinion of the buyer;
  • Minor savings in design and quality of materials;
  • The internal filling is focused on a common man in the street and does not differ in wide capabilities (often MediaTek processors);
  • Focusing on household use, without the user's race for a top-end device.

The versatility and compactness of using this line, with a display diagonal of up to 5 inches, will become good decision when buying a new smartphone. With all this, Redmi models are subdivided:

  • Redmi smartphones (the standard model of this line);
  • Redmi Note smartphones (increased size from 5.5 inches, improved design - aluminum body).

Xiaomi MiPad

The list of products would not have been complete without the presented tablet models from the Xiaomi company. Since 2014, only two models have been produced: MiPad and MiPad 2. The models have a 7.9-inch Retina-screen with a resolution of 2048x1536, they also differ in an aluminum case, a new processor and the ability to use Android and Windows 10 on the newer MiPad model 2.

Having dealt with the structure of the entire production system from the Xiaomi brand, two main questions should be answered: which Xiaomi smartphone is the best at the moment? What will be presented from Xiaomi as latest model for 2017?

The best smartphone from Xiaomi

Speaking about the best offer, it is difficult to compare different models since each of them has an advantage in one area or another, so the decisive criterion will be the number of purchases in the electronic market. So, consider the Top 5 such smartphone models:

Latest models for 2017

The last Xiaomi model 2017 - what will it be ?! Given the growing popularity of this brand by leaps and bounds, many advanced users are eagerly awaiting an answer to these questions. Xiaomi has found a way out of this situation. Without leaving the framework of its basic principle, I gave the initiative to create the newest models in the hands of users. Thus, the Mi 7 smartphone should bypass the current leaders from Samsung and even Apple in terms of power.
So, the main arguments in favor of the novelty will be:

  • 4 and 8 GB of RAM;
  • The latest generation Snapdragon processor will provide excellent performance to 8 cores (there is also the possibility of them complete shutdown to save battery and maximize use when needed);
  • The camera is presented with a 25 megapixel main and 8 megapixel front (improved focus and aperture).

Summing up, it should be said that Xiaomi has certainly begun to massively fill the portable electronic equipment market with quality products available for everyone who wants to use modern technologies... Its structure, having a simple structure, has a huge base of models for every taste and wallet.
