📱Best Android Smartphones for 2020

Last year, independent experts conducted a survey, the main task of which was to identify people who cannot imagine life without a telephone. During the experiment, 87% of respondents said that they could not do without a mobile phone for more than a day. Our life is strongly connected with smartphones. Even when preparing meals, a person searches for recipes on the Internet, not in a cookbook. And here the question is brewing, how to choose the right phone and which models you should pay attention to. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you a rating of popular smartphones based on Android.

Smartphone selection by class

The first thing to start with choosing a smartphone is choosing a class. Today there are:

• Rugged smartphones... A less popular device that has a protective case that does not allow dust or water to pass through and is not afraid of falling on the asphalt from a high height;
• Premium. Most often, this class means a device that has just entered the market;
• Smartphones with support for two or more SIM cards;
• Budget models;
• Women's phones. At the mention of this class, most people imagine a pink phone with beautiful colors, but this is not entirely true. In the female models, almost all applications and settings have been changed;
• Camerophone. The model differs from its predecessors with a high-quality camera, which is not inferior even to digital cameras;
• VIP. These phones are made strictly to order, each has an original design, and the body is made of precious metals. However, they have extremely low functionality.

OS selection

The operating system is the main selection criterion. For 2020, 3 operating systems remain popular: iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

Android

This operating system is the most popular, it is on it that most smartphones are produced. The positive side is the versatility and variety of useful free apps. Although a few years ago, some popular firms wanted to move away from Android in favor of their own operating systems, they quickly abandoned the proposal. The disadvantage is slowness in work, but this is found only in cheap devices, expensive models, on the contrary, are more productive. In addition, the platform is constantly being improved and supplemented with more and more new features and properties, which makes Android the most attractive for most people.

iOS

Unlike the previous model, to use this OS, you need to buy an iPhone, and this is a significant disadvantage. In terms of functionality, the operating system is slightly ahead of Android, and there are more applications in the AppStore than in Google Play. IOS itself is fast and productive. The second drawback is the lack of memory cards, so you need to be more careful when choosing a smartphone.

Windows Phone

Previously, Microsoft's platform did not enjoy widespread success, but performance was poor, which had a significant impact on sales. However, with the release of Windows Phone 8, the situation has improved significantly and the speed of work has increased significantly. Only it was noticeable on good smartphones, cheap ones still have problems. In addition, few applications are created for the platform.The pluses include only the Microsoft Office package, which is preinstalled on the phone and allows you to work with files like on a computer.

Screen selection

The first thing to start with the choice is the diagonal. The most popular are smartphones with a diagonal of 5 to 6 inches. They fit comfortably in the hand, and watching videos or images is not discomforting. If you are using your phone as an alternative to a tablet, then it is better to choose a screen with a diagonal of at least 6.5 inches.

Also, it is important to choose the right display type and screen resolution, because the image quality depends on it. All budget models use TFT, it is inexpensive, but the quality is inferior. The IPS display is of good quality and optimal for the price. For lovers of only high-quality color reproduction, it is recommended to choose a phone with a SuperAMOLED display, the manufacturer notes low power consumption and good contrast. The last thing to consider is the choice of glass. The best option is to buy a phone with tempered glass (Gorilla Glass by Corning).

Choice of processor and memory

For budget models, the presence of a mobile processor from Qualcomm and at least 4 cores is an excellent indicator. But do not focus on this, the amount of RAM is much more important, and here you should choose a smartphone from 2 GB of RAM and above. When choosing user memory, it is better to select models from 16 GB, the best option would be 32 GB, this volume will be enough for a person for a long time, and if there is a slot for a flash drive, then the lack of memory will not bother the user a little.

As for the amount of memory, the rule here is: The more, the better. However, this figure significantly affects the price of the device.

Battery

Everything is simple here, the higher the mAh, the longer the smartphone will hold the battery. The best option is to have a battery with a capacity of at least 3000 mAh. So, the charge will last for a day, and the phone will not turn off at the wrong time.

Wireless technology

The last point when choosing a smartphone, which must also be taken into account, is not only the availability of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but also support for 4G or LTE, GPS, and for those who like to make purchases with a card, you should pay attention to NFC.
