📱Best Xiaomi smartphones for 2020

A smartphone is an irreplaceable companion for each of us and a great gift for the new year or birthday. Indeed, in our time, it is more than a type of mobile communication. It combines a game console, organizer, mini-computer. And among the huge number of manufacturers of such equipment, we would recommend Xiaomi.
The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers you an overview of the best Xiaomi smartphones for 2020.

Why Xiaomi

There are a lot of developing, promising manufacturing companies, and even more so "mastodons" in the mobile communications market. However, there are different gifts, for parents we would like to buy reliable equipment without any special "bells and whistles", for children - with a bias towards games. And then either buy something from Samsung, something from LG, or turn to Xiaomi (Xiaomi), whose product line is able to please anyone, the most demanding taste, in a wide price range.

The popularity of the models of this company is determined by the proprietary feature of the brand - to provide maximum opportunities at a reasonable price.

It is not for nothing that budget smartphones of this brand have become the hallmark of Xiaomi, having made a certain marketing breakthrough in this segment.

Xiaomi lineup

All smartphones from Xiaomi are divided into three categories:

• Mi - the technology of this line always leads the rating of high-quality smartphones. Even the best manufacturers sometimes do not have that much RAM, a fast processor;
• Redmi are budget smartphones with quite rich functionality. Despite the average price category, the user reviews for Redmi models are always the best;
• Black Shark is the best choice for gaming, the series has high performance, plus a multi-core processor with an increased cooling function. That allows you to play for a long time without worrying about the integrity of the "stone".

The main parameters of smartphones

Before choosing a device that suits you, you should familiarize yourself with the basic, brief parameters of phones in order to have a general idea of ​​them.

The display is one of the important parts of a smartphone that is responsible for image quality,
accurate color reproduction. In addition to diagonal size, technology matters. However, only an experienced user will be able to distinguish the IPS matrix, the most common one from the more progressive AMOLED. Speaking about what other displays there are, we cannot fail to mention models with folding screens, like books. Unfortunately, they often do not justify the amounts of “flexion-extension” declared by the manufacturer. And their cost is much higher than similar devices with a simple screen.

Processor - the number of its cores, frequency (GHz), depends on the speed and how much this device costs.

Memory - it comes in three types. Operational (RAM), internal constant (ROM), external, physical. RAM provides communication between the processor and executable programs, internal services of the operating system (OS), third-party applications installed on a mobile phone. The latter are installed on ROM or, if the phone has a connection slot, on external physical memory.

Camera - what to look for when choosing the best camera is, first of all, not the number of pixels, not the type of matrix, but its software, that is, the firmware. Since the components are the same in almost all models, it all depends on what kind of firmware the camera has.Therefore, if the quality of photos and videos is important to you, then before buying, look at the review of the phone, examples of photos that were taken by it.

Battery capacity - a distinctive feature of most of the products from Xiaomi - a large battery supply. This allows you to spend a long time on the Internet, play your favorite toys, take pictures, without thinking about how much charge is left for the picture.

Communication module - its task is to provide mobile communications, wireless Internet via Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G. The leading Xiaomi models support not only the widespread Wi-Fi 802.11a / b / g / n format, but also Wi-Fi Direct and the advanced 802.11ac. But if your hobby is high-quality surfing on the Internet, do not rush to take a phone with 5G. Such an undoubtedly advanced device hardly has any particular advantages over 4G. First of all, because there are very few operators that provide a decent 5G network. In addition, in some cases, one "Internet" from another is hardly distinguishable by the quality and stability of communication. Therefore, it is hardly worth overpaying for rare minutes of 5G communication.

Which smartphone to choose

So what characteristics should a smartphone have that you want to buy as a gift or pamper yourself in 2020! Of course, we must proceed from the preferences of those to whom you will give the phone, your needs. The popular models of the Black Shark series are suitable for gamers, but if we are talking about a student, then the devices of the previous releases are suitable. They provide almost the same wide gaming possibilities as modern devices at a much lower cost. A business person should use a smartphone with a good camera, two SIM cards (Dual SIM) and made of durable material.

The most anticipated Xiaomi smartphones of 2020

Xiaomi Mi 10

The estimated date of the presentation of Xiaomi Mi 10 is the first quarter of the year. Indeed, at the end of February there is a significant event, the international exhibition Mobile World Congress, and Xiaomi Mi 10 is its most long-awaited guest. According to preliminary, but well-tested data, the flagship will be equipped with Snapdragon X55, working with 2/3/4 / 5G networks. Thanks to it, the data transfer rate will reach a record 3 Gbps. And the download speed will be up to 7 Gbps. This alone makes the smartphone the foremost among its kind. But if your operator does not yet have a network of this protocol, you should not despair, a good speed will be when connected via the 4G protocol. High-speed performance will be characteristic of this model not only in relation to the Internet, it will work "faster" with applications. After all, it will be equipped with a new generation of LPDDR5 RAM. This RAM is not only one and a half times faster than its counterparts, it has a built-in protocol that eliminates errors. But the main thing for any smartphone is its "heart", here it is represented by a promising development of Qualcomm Snapdragon 865. The name and technical data of the chipset are known only in advance and can be changed. Presumably the flagship will be equipped with a telephoto lens, fast charging function, headset slots.
And what is quite natural, Xiaomi Mi 10 will be produced with several subspecies:

• Mi 10 pro - its main advantage, an excellent AMOLED screen, UltraHD resolution (3840 × 2160), whose aspect ratio will be 19.5: 9;
• Mi 10 se - estimated RAM over 10 GB, the number of photographic sensors that will be hidden under the pull-out tray is two. One sensor 20, the second 12 MP.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4

I must say that the name, technical specifications of this camera phone are little known. Even his image, which rarely appears on the Internet, is mostly fake. However, if at least some of all the rumors come true, then the smartphone will turn out to be very interesting.
In addition to the usual fingerprint sensor, high-speed 5G communication, the phone will have a huge camera resolution, large memory capacity.RAM is promised for 12 GB, and ROM is of the order of a terabyte.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Mi Flex

Data on this model is also vague, there are only generalized data. First of all, we can say with almost 100% certainty that the phone will come with two screens. But whether it will have two screens that, when unfolded, form one large, frameless monitor, or the screen will fold, is still unknown.
The installed "stone" of the Snapdragon type, 256 GB ROM is also approximately known.

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

Xiaomi Mi Fold (Flex)

But this device will probably already have a clamshell monitor, and not like competitors like Samsung Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X.

The Mi Fold (Flex) monitor will have two fold lines, transforming in many ways. When folded, it will resemble an ordinary, a bit narrowish smartphone, when unfolded it will look like a "almost" tablet, and if you bend one of the sides, it will turn into a stand. That will allow the user to view videos, photos, communicate through the messenger without the tedious need to hold the device with his hands all the time. Additional "goodies": an advanced 5G module, a large amount of RAM, ROM.
