The best smartphones of the year, the main flagships, the most interesting gadgets - all this in one article!

Apple iPhone 7 Plus

Without a doubt, the most anticipated smartphone of the year, which seems to have met all the expectations of users. New colors, more powerful processor, an updated Home key, as well as a unit with a dual camera, which we especially noted in a special material, pitting the device against a Sony Alpha ILCE-6300 camera. iPhone 7 Plus is the best iOS smartphone this year, and also the best Apple smartphone, released in 2016.

What else to look at: Apple iPhone 7, Apple iPhone SE

Google Pixel XL

Curved lines, a large screen, one of the best mobile cameras - all this is about the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. The smartphone display adds a special dimension to the image - and it is truly impressive. One of the most interesting and powerful smartphones of the year.

What else to look at: Samsung Galaxy S7

Huawei Mate 9

The year for Huawei turned out to be incredibly interesting and bright and was marked primarily by the conclusion of an agreement with the Leica photo brand. Under their supervision, the Huawei P9 and P9 Plus smartphones were released with a Leica camera unit and two lenses: one color lens, the second monochrome. At the end of the year, Huawei released the Mate 9 and Mate 9 Porsche Design, marking the second, more serious stage of work on the camera. And guess what? People are laughing less and less at the slogan “New era of mobile photography”!

What else to look at: Huawei P9 Plus, Huawei P9

LG G5

The Korean company's smartphone turned out to be the first real solution using modular technology. Among the LG Friends modules, the additional camera controls and sound unit from Bang&Olufsen stand out. The LG G5 has two cameras. One of them is wide-angle, which allows you to take pictures unusual for smartphones. The fly in the ointment is that only the LG G5 SE is officially sold in Russia. This is a junior model with slightly different technical characteristics, first of all - a weaker processor. But the cameras are identical.

What else to look at: LG G5 SE

Moto Z

Another modular smartphone that came out a little later than the solution from LG. Moto Mods are mounted on back smartphone using special magnets. Among the additional units there is a battery, a projector, a speaker from JBL, but most importantly, a photo module from Hasselblad with an optical tenfold zoom.

Sony Xperia XZ

Sony Mobile took a desperate step in 2016 by completely relaunching its line of smartphones. By the end of the year, they had completed the entire line of Xs: the frameless XA and XA Ultra, X and its smaller copy XCompact, X Performance and the most flagship flagship - XZ. We held it in our hands and tested it. A very worthy and interesting smartphone that has its own personality: you won’t confuse it with anyone else.

What else to look at: Sony Xperia X Performance, Sony Xperia XCompact

Honor 8

Smartphones under the Honor brand are produced by Huawei. And this, in general, was no secret to anyone. This year, Honor 8 was released - beautiful, bright and with two lenses, like its half-brothers P9, P9 Plus and Mate 9. The device takes pictures very well, we were convinced of its qualities in practice.

Meizu Pro 6 Plus

Another late announcement - Meizu Pro 6 Plus. This year we tested both Meizu Pro 6 and Meizu MX6, and were satisfied. Actually, there is no doubt about the quality of the camera in the Pro 6 Plus. Also, as is standard for Meizu, the device sounds good because it has a digital-to-analog converter. The main advantage compared to competitors is a more pleasant price tag with the same flagship capabilities.

What else to look at: Meizu Pro 6, Meizu MX6

Asus Zenfone 3 (ZE552KL and ZE520KL)

Pleasant smartphones in all respects, which differ from each other in different screen diagonals. In general, this is the same device, which we were able to test with two cool Instagram photographers - @vi66nya and @19tones. Despite the affordable price tag in modern times, Zenfone 3 can surprise you in terms of photography.

What else to look at: Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe

LeEco Le Pro3

LeEco company is the most powerful start of the year not only in Russia, but also in the American market. We can say that a brand from China is dumping the market by making flagship specifications and offering them 1.5–2 times cheaper than other companies. Le Pro3 is new smartphone, which can and should be called an affordable flagship, and it also has a very decent camera. We managed to test Le Max 2 and overall we were very pleased.

Xiaomi Mi 5s

For several years now Xiaomi company constantly shoots out interesting smartphones. And every year the brand gains more and more fans and users. This year the main device is Xiaomi Mi 5s, and the announcement of the frameless Xiaomi Mi Mix was also noticeable. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to officially buy Xiaomi devices in Russia - you won’t find this company’s flagships on store shelves.

What else to look at: Xiaomi Mi 5, Xiaomi Mi Mix

OnePlus 3T

OnePlus are newsmakers who are able to surprise the smartphone market year after year because they play by their own rules. The OnePlus 3 model appeared first, and at the end of the year it was updated to 3T. An extremely interesting and pleasant-looking smartphone takes pictures very well. But the problem here is the same as with Xiaomi - the devices are difficult to get due to their lack of availability in stores.

Potentially the best Android smartphone of the year, which incorporates all the ideas and technologies of Samsung, Galaxy Note 7, unfortunately, was never released in Russia, and was withdrawn worldwide. This device, if turned on, is still prohibited from flying on an airplane. The problems with the flammable gadget were solved radically: all Galaxy Note 7 were recalled, and the line Note smartphones and completely closed.

This is the flagship from Google and Motorola. Its feature is a very large display. In addition, by purchasing this new product, you will be using the latest top version of the Android OS, which differs significantly from the basic version.

Of course, the price of this device is quite high, but its characteristics and large screen are worth the money.

If you are used to always holding your phone with one hand, then this model is not for you.
