The most underrated smartphones of 2019

Interesting flagships from Asus, LG, ZTE and more.

Journalists for the reputable Android Authority named smartphones, which in 2019 were completely undeservedly deprived of the attention of users. There are 5 devices in the list.

OPPO Reno Ace

It was OPPO Reno Ace that became the owner of one of the fastest chargers - its power was 65 watts. With it, the 4,000 mAh battery is fully charged in just 30 minutes, and five minutes of recharge is enough to replenish 25% of the charge.

In terms of filling, this smartphone is in no way inferior to competitors - it received a Snapdragon 855+ processor, up to 12 GB of RAM, OLED screen with a frequency of 90 Hz and a quartet of cameras with 48, 13 (2x optical zoom), 8 ("shirik") and 2 Mp sensors (monochrome). It's also worth noting that this is one of the few flagships to retain a 3.5mm headphone port.

LG G8X ThinQ

This smartphone has become one of the most balanced in the LG lineup. In it, the manufacturer did not experiment with functions based on the front ToF camera, but provided users with the opportunity to use a case with an additional screen. This feature makes the G8X ThinQ a good alternative.

The smartphone also differs from a number of competitors with wireless charging, a waterproof case (IP68), a 3.5 mm headphone port and a powerful audio system based on a 32-bit Hi-Fi Quad DAC.

Asus Zenfone 6

Zenfone 6 named one of the leaders on this list, for several reasons. The main thing is a practical PTZ camera mechanism that allows you to use 48 and 13 megapixel sensors both for regular shooting and for selfies. With the smooth drive of this module, panoramic photos can be taken without turning the device itself.

In addition, Zenfone 6 has a nearly bezel-less display, flagship hardware and a 5,000 mAh battery to power other gadgets. All this at a relatively low price of $ 500 at the start. In Russia it cost 35-40 thousand rubles.

ZTE Axon 10 Pro

According to journalists from Android Authority, Axon 10 Pro has once again proved that ZTE also knows how to surprise. Technically, this smartphone is not much inferior to more eminent competitors - it received a flagship processor Snapdragon 855, up to 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of internal, and a 4,000 mAh battery with wireless charging.

In terms of cameras, the device also did not disappoint - the main one has a 48-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens for three times zoom and a 20-megapixel wide-angle module. Moreover, the first two sensors are supplemented with optical stabilization. Among others: stereo speakers and an in-screen fingerprint reader.

Vivo Nex 3 5G

This is the most top-end smartphone, which received a screen-waterfall, a powerful Snapdragon 855+ chip, 12 GB of RAM in the maximum version and 256 GB of internal memory. A 4,500 mAh battery with support for 44W charging is responsible for the autonomy of the device.

The main photomodule of the smartphone received sensors of 64, 13 (double optical zoom) and 13 megapixels (wide-angle). For selfies, there is a 16 megapixel retractable camera with a separate flash. Support for 5G networks completes the list of advantages.
