What should be truly practical smartphone

What does "practical smartphone"

Replacing multiple smartphones, one becomes more pragmatic, no longer fall for the marketing gimmicks and selects a new mobile device, relying on personal experience and knowledge.

We collected opinions Layfhakera edition, interviewed friends and acquaintances techies then formulated criteria really practical smartphone:

• Cheap. There is a theory of consumption, according to which one should not buy a thing, if it can not buy just two things without a credit burdens and appreciable damage to the quality of life. Naturally, this does not apply to cars and apartments, we are here only for ordinary household purchases, which include smartphones. Wise people live within its means.
• Reliable. Durable and comfortable body protection screen is necessary. Someone remembers the story of the bendable smartphones and attempts to justify the thesis of design errors, "but they are so thin." So, a smartphone - it's not elegant porcelain vase in the museum, and the device, which we often hold in our hands, everywhere carry with them in their pockets, and sometimes accidentally drops.

• survivable. Battery life is the weakest point of modern mobile technology, and it will be long until something better lithium-polymer batteries. The absolute majority of respondents do not care about a few extra millimeters of thickness of the smartphone if it saves them from having to everywhere carry a charger or an optional external battery, which also may be larger and heavier than the smartphone.
• With a good screen. The fourth and last of the top criteria it was not a camera and a powerful stuffing, and high-quality display. Few people like frankly cheap TN-screens with poor viewing angles and color reproduction terrible, and some are not satisfied with the acidic and prone to degradation AMOLED. Golden mean became IPS-screens, for which you can overpay a little bit and come to terms with increased compared to the power consumption of the organic matrix.

But what about the ratings benchmarks? In fact, the power of processors lose their meaning at a time when man first sees two equally smooth and fast running smartphone, one of which is worth 10 thousand rubles, and the other - 40 thousands.

For the rest, everything was to be expected. Advanced users need a workhorse: affordable, durable, pulling daily smartphone tasks. And tenacious, of course! Flagship status, beating senseless records in the AnTuTu, but are not able to reach a full day active use without connecting to a wall outlet or external battery - rather dubious purchase.

Is there an alternative to the Chinese brand? Yes
