Rarely, when choosing a Chinese smartphone, buyers are guided by only one criterion (that the processor is more powerful, that the screen is 5 inches, etc.). Characteristics, value and brand awareness are usually taken into account. And which apparatus is worthy of the title " best chinese smartphone of 2017? " To make it easier for you to understand the variety of gadgets that are acceptable in terms of novelty, price and quality, we compared Chinese smartphones on the Yandex Market service, took into account the ratio of positive and negative reviews, and then compiled a rating of Chinese smartphones in 2017.

The best Chinese smartphones of 2017, ranking Top 10

A smartphone with a great screen.

Can be purchased for 23,960 rubles.

A smartphone with a 5.7 "display and a 2560 × 1440 resolution is an excellent choice if the 5.5" screen seems too small and the 6.44 "is too big. It will be very convenient to read texts, and you can safely hold the device in your hand and drop it without fear.

Sony's 12MP camera with IMX386 sensor sits on the back of the Pro Plus 6 and features optical image stabilization.

The 3400mAh battery allows you not to charge the device for one or two days.

Unfortunately, the smartphone does not have a memory card slot, and you will have to be content with 64 GB. And the manufacturer is slowly releasing updates for the FlyME shell.

Dual curved display, 3D glass.

You can buy, on average, 34,990 rubles.

This 5.7-inch smartphone is the middle ground between Xiaomi Mi5S and Mi Max in terms of its size. Due to the aesthetically rounded AMOLED matrix on the sides, there is a slight color distortion at the edges of the display.

Brief characteristics:

• a 22-megapixel camera that shoots like the iPhone 6s and Nubia Z11;
• quad-core Snapdragon 821 chip;
• battery 4070 mAh;
• there is an NFC module;
• memory capacity 64 or 128 GB.

A significant disadvantage of the model is the lack of a slot for a memory card.

Very fast fingerprint sensor.

Average price - 29 490 rubles.

The P10 is the successor to the Huawei P9 - one of the best Huawei smartphones to date. Compared to its predecessor, the P10 version has a slightly smaller screen size - 5.1 ″, a larger battery - 3200 mAh, and a dual 20/12 MP rear camera. And almost all users note the unrealistically fast operation of the fingerprint scanner. Before you can blink, the phone is already unlocked.

Thanks to the updated Kirin 960 processor, the smartphone does not have any performance issues.

Another pleasant update was the increase in memory - up to 64 GB and 4 GB (built-in and operational, respectively). The manufacturer did not forget to equip the smartphone with a memory card slot.

This, plus a few small but important design and hardware improvements, make the P10 a good alternative. Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6.

Fast Chinese smartphone with a user-friendly interface.

Offered in stores for 20,490 rubles.

The more powerful version of the popular Xiaomi MI 5s has a 5.7-inch screen, a metal body and a 3800 mAh battery, which will last for two days of intensive use. The Snapdragon 821 processor (combined with 4GB of RAM and the Adreno 530 GPU) makes the smartphone one of the most efficient in its mid-range, which many users have rated in their reviews.

In the same reviews, users speak unflatteringly about the dual 13/13 MP camera of the Mi 5s Plus. Although its sensor is made by Sony, it does not focus instantly, in moderate light, the pictures come out "grainy" and the stabilization is mediocre. If you take your phone not to take beautiful photos, but for work and play, then Mi 5s Plus is an excellent option.

Stylish Chinese smartphone.

You can take, on average, 31 310 rubles.

Here are 7 reasons why this device is one of the best in the ranking of Chinese smartphones in 2017:

1. Huge 5.9 ″ screen. Yes, the Mi Mix and Mi Max have larger displays, but one is more expensive and the other is slightly inferior in performance.
2. Leica dual camera with black and white and color modules. At the same time, the resolution of the black-and-white module is 20 MP, and not 12 as it was in the P9 model.
3. Long-lasting 4000 mAh battery.
4. A nimble 16nm HiSilicon Kirin 960 processor with 8 cores.
5. An excellent package, in which there are both headphones and a case, which competitors from Xiaomi cannot boast of.
6. Large amount of memory (64 or 128 GB), which can still be expanded with a 256 GB card.
7. Very fast charging (takes less than an hour).

We were unable to find flaws in this smartphone, except for the high price.

Very fast battery charging.

You can buy for 25,990 rubles.

A feature of the latest smartphones from the Chinese manufacturer OnePlus is very fast charging. A prime example is the OnePlus 3T with a 3400mAh battery. With Dash Type-C charging, the battery will charge up to 60 percent capacity in just 30 minutes.

The OnePlus 3T has the same 16MP camera as the OnePlus 3. However, the software is more streamlined. The ultra-high contrast images captured with the OnePlus 3T are more natural, but still pleasantly bright compared to those captured by the OnePlus 3.

You can buy a model with 64GB or 128GB of internal storage, but unfortunately neither of them has microSD slot cards.

2017 new with dual camera.

Price, on average - 27,591 rubles.

Like the previous model from the list of the best Chinese smartphones of 2017, the price / quality of the Huawei Honor 9 is in perfect harmony with each other. Here's what the user gets for a reasonable price:

• 5.15-inch screen with vivid color reproduction;
• 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 960 chip;
• 64 GB of memory plus a slot for memory cards up to 256 GB, and you can use 2 SIM cards and a memory card at the same time;
• 3200 mAh battery;
• transparent case included;
• dual camera (12 MP and 8 MP) and 20 MP front. If you are the type of person who needs to “push a button to make it beautiful,” then the Huawei Honor 9 is the perfect device. Pictures even without "playing" with the settings are high-quality and clear. And there are a lot of settings, from HD and bokeh to 3D shots.

However, the phone is very, very slippery, so you shouldn't use it without a case.

Popular Chinese flagship.

It is offered, on average, for 29,990 rubles.

It is a flagship device that rivals the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7 in terms of performance. It features a 5.15-inch IPS screen, top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 octa-core processor, 4 (or 6) GB of RAM and 64 (or 128) GB of internal storage. The phone comes in standard black or white variants, as well as a very nice blue and gold version.

One of the main features of the Mi6 is the dual 12-megapixel camera, which for the first time (if we take Xiaomi devices) has a portrait mode similar to the one found in the iPhone 7 Plus.

However, the gadget does not have a 3.5mm jack and the oval fingerprint scanner sometimes does not work the first time.

All-metal Chinese flagship.

The cost, on average, is 27,500 rubles.

This 5.5-inch smartphone was officially announced as the company's flagship for 2017 back in June. Its top-of-the-line features and premium design (all-metal body with minimal bezels on the sides) make it a formidable contender for the rest of the rankings.

The Nubia Z17 has a waterproof design, a fingerprint sensor, Dolby Atmos speakers, a USB Type-C cable, a dual camera (23MP and 12MP), a memory expansion slot, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chip, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of flash. memory.

The only thing that spoils the impression of the phone is the lack of access to family Google apps if you don't have root access.

1. OnePlus 5

The average cost is 32,800 rubles.

Here are the top five benefits of the 2017 Chinese Smartphone Ranking Leader.

1. Enhanced Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Combined with 6GB (or 8GB for the 128GB variant) of RAM, it can not only improve graphics performance, but also improve battery efficiency.

1. Following the latest fashion in the smartphone market, the OnePlus5 comes with a dual camera setup. While the front has an 8MP lens, the rear is a combination of a 16MP lens and a 20MP telephoto lens. Both lenses are made by Sony, with the main camera at f / 1.7 and the secondary at f / 2.6. OnePlus owner 5 can take impressive photos with great depth of field, akin to the portrait mode found in the iPhone 7 Plus.

1. Thanks to latest version Bluetooth 5.0 pairing and connecting to devices is much faster.

1. OnePlus 5 also comes with a powerful charger Dash Type-C, which can charge a phone with a 3300mAh battery from 0 to 60% in just 30 minutes.

1. The 5.5-inch screen has 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

If the manufacturer provided the smartphone with USB 3.0 support for OTG and a memory card slot, the OnePlus 5 would be a real perfection. In the meantime, just "five plus".

Leaked smartphones

Xiaomi Redmi 4X

Inexpensive Chinese smartphone.

Average cost - 11,990 rubles.

Xiaomi positions itself as a brand that offers quality products at a price lower than competitors. And the Redmi 4X confirms this: for the money, it will be difficult to find an equally good 5-inch smartphone with a 4100 mAh battery, an excellent 13 MP camera, an infrared port, an 8-core chip and a fast fingerprint scanner.

The disadvantages of the device, users include the lack of illumination of the buttons under the display and the easily soiled case.

Feature: the smartphone with the largest display - 6.44 ″.

Average price - 18,590 rubles.

The king-size smartphone, despite its huge display, is very thin and fits comfortably even in a small female hand. And reading from it is a pleasure. Thanks to the 4850 mAh battery, you can forget about charging the gadget for 2-3 days. And the operating speed, 16 MP camera, the ability to use the card for expanding memory (its 16, 32 or 64 GB, depending on the model), the fast charging function and a very user-friendly interface make Xiaomi Mi Max an excellent choice.

Among the minuses: the bottom of the phone heats up, there is no NFC, so you can forget about contactless payments.

The most productive available for the price.

The average price is 25,414 rubles.

The distinctive features of this smartphone are a non-standard 5.15-inch screen and a high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 chip with 4 cores and a frequency of 2150 MHz. As for the memory, the Xiaomi Mi5S is also not deprived of it in the version with 128 GB for user files and 4 GB for programs. Users were also pleased with the 12 MP camera with one of the best Sony matrices, which can record video in 4K mode.

But there are people who are dissatisfied with the fact that the fingerprint scanner is slow, the case is slippery, and the battery is only 3200 mAh.

Excellent camera and video quality.

The average cost is 25,122 rubles.

The first, but not the last representative of Huawei in the 2017 ranking of Chinese smartphones. The devices of this company are more expensive than those of Xiaomi, but many prefer to slightly overpay for a well-known brand, a productive chipset and undoubted product quality.

The main advantages of Huawei Nova 2:

• monolithic 5-inch case with rounded corners;
• LTPS screen matrix;
• eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 659 chip;
• 64 GB of memory (expandable with a card up to 128 GB);
• and, the main advantage is a dual (12 megapixel and 8 megapixel) camera with a telephoto lens, optical stabilization, a powerful flash and a phase-detection autofocus system. The manufacturer did not forget about the functions of blurring objects or background. On the front of the smartphone there is still a 20-megapixel one, capable of creating blurred backgrounds and 3D photos.

But what the manufacturer forgot about is the NFC module. And the battery for this price could be more powerful than 2950 mAh.

Sold in stores, on average, for 16,990 rubles.

And one more 5.2-inch model in our charts of the best smartphones from China. The screen has an oleophobic coating. The smartphone is equipped with a standard 3000 mAh battery for a good device, a HiSilicon Kirin 650 processor with 8 cores, but the memory for built-in applications and user data pumped up (16/2 GB, respectively). It's good that it can be expanded to 128 gigabytes. But the P9 Lite does not heat up, it switches to mobile transmission data if there is no internet in the connected wifi network, has a fingerprint scanner, and a 13 MP camera takes high-quality pictures.

It is offered, on average, for 20 800 rubles.

This 5.5-inch smartphone is not as expensive as the OnePlus3, but they have one thing in common - the lack of an SD card slot. The MX6 has 32 gigabytes of it, you will have to use cloud services. Otherwise, this is an excellent device: a 3060 mAh battery, a 12 MP camera with a new sensor from Sony, a MediaTek Helio X20 ten-core processor, fingerprint reading, a loud earpiece.

What the owners complain about: often breaks down Home button, the flash has to be constantly transferred to auto mode manually.

The golden mean in cost - 16 536 rubles.

If you are dreaming of a smart and stable smartphone with a very capacious battery (4100 mAh) and a 5.5-inch FullHD display, then this is it. The M3 Note also boasts an eight-core MediaTek Helio P10 processor, a 13 MP camera, an SD card slot, and the ability to scan fingerprints.

What it cannot boast of: a very slippery body, average photo quality, it gets very hot.

Average price - 17,990 rubles.

It differs from the previous issue by a slightly less capacious battery (4050 mAh) and a larger number of megapixels in the main camera (16 MP). The screen is 5.5-inch with an oleophobic coating, a Qualcomm six-core Snapdragon 650 MSM8956 processor, a fingerprint scanner is present. Users have no complaints about the build quality, design and speed of this smartphone.

There are complaints about the device heating up during games, although there is no throttling, a low volume in the headphones, a slippery and quickly dirty body.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4

Average cost - 12,110 rubles.

The smartphone has an impressive 4100 mAh battery, a large 5.5-inch display, a 13 MP camera, a MediaTek Helio X20 ten-core chip, an sd card slot and a fingerprint scanner. Can you dream of anything else for such a price? Is that about the fact that the manufacturer is not greedy and put the headset in the kit.
