Brave claim. And we will definitely check it. We simply could not pass by and try to catch Xiaomi by the tongue - they are not joking with such things, because the G7 has been reliably holding the position of one of the main camera phones on the market for a year now, which only Android flagships of comparable price can compete with.

Plus, this is a great chance to take a look at what Android One is all about. If you've never heard of such a thing, this is a Google initiative in which the corporation helps to create high-quality low-cost devices in exchange for shipping them with a fresh version of Android without add-ons and unnecessary pre-installed applications.

Have we met somewhere yet?

Of all the Android One released today, the Xiaomi version looks the most attractive: a one-piece aluminum body, a dual camera, a 5.5-inch screen, slightly rounded glass at the edges and antenna veins neatly inscribed in the edges of the body ... wait, somewhere it already happened. Well, yes, the iPhone 7 Plus was mentioned at the presentation for a reason - Mi A1 seemed to be designed by two designers from an old joke: one was holding an iPhone, and the other was circling it. The device also resembles the OnePlus 5 with its narrower bezels.

The color palette is almost identical to the iPhone: matte black, pink and gold. The polishing quality is also almost identical, it is pleasant to hold it in your hands. In general, the product of the joint efforts of Google and Xiaomi looks not bad at all, but it is completely devoid of individuality - only the proprietary three buttons under the screen and the fingerprint sensor placed on the back (like in Mi Max 2) save from complete depersonalization. But these design solutions can hardly be called unconditionally successful - in 2017, touch buttons instead of on-screen buttons are given a mile away in the device by a Chinese state employee.

Let's be honest - this is not an iPhone

When Johnny Ive gets down to business in his snow-white workshop in Cupertino, there can be no complaints about ergonomics. You can criticize the relatively plain design of the latest generations of the iPhone as much as you like, but at least the smartphone itself is perfectly balanced and fits in the hand as if it always was in it: pleasantly heavy, smooth, fingers easily reach all the necessary buttons - in a word, Thing ... With the 5.5-inch screen of the iPhone 7 Plus, it still feels like a shovel and you can't do without a second hand, even Apple is not capable of such miracles.

But Mi A1 is deprived of this feeling of "Things" with a capital letter. It seems to be the same, it is almost 30 grams lighter, already a couple of millimeters and the index finger fits perfectly on the fingerprint sensor, but still something is wrong. It might be a matter of weight, but there are other annoying little things. For example, although the edges of the glass are rounded, but the joint with the metal is uneven, there is a tangible "step" with a sharp edge.

And even with such a diagonal, it is quite difficult to use the three touch-sensitive keys under the screen - if you hold the device with one hand, then your finger simply does not reach everyone. The iPhone has only one multitasking button in the center.

Moreover, for some reason they saved money on the NFC module, so you can forget about Android Pay. In 2017, for a device with the support of Google, this looks like an impermissible redneck.

Pure Android is good, but there are problems

It's funny, but be it ordinary Xiaomi smartphone with the proprietary MIUI shell, there would be no problem with the keys. The company's engineers are well aware that it is impossible to use them with a large diagonal, and have long added to the firmware the ability to reassign them, add an alternative action by a long press, or even switch to a special universal button that can be freely dragged across the screen.

All this is implemented in the twin brother Xiaomi Mi A1, which is called Mi 5X - this is literally the same device, but on MIUI instead of pure Android and a couple of thousand rubles cheaper (in China).

In "pure" Android 7.1.1 these options are not provided, even the on-screen buttons cannot be activated. But on the other hand, a swipe on the sensor on the back panel opens a shutter with notifications and quick switches, just like on the Google Pixel, and the whole system works faster, more stable and completely in Russian with access to Google play"Out of the box", no need to fool around with the firmware.

In addition, Android, starting with version 7.0 Nougat, uses one of the best for today. on-screen keyboards G-Board, and a swipe to the right from the main screen opens the search screen and personal feed - at first an unusual, but very convenient thing that will show the weather, traffic jams on the way home, and interesting news (I don't know how exactly this happens, but I almost always drops out what I really would like to read). In addition, by the end of the year the device should be updated to Android 8.0 Oreo, and there are also some useful innovations.

As for the speaking Google Assistant, so far it only understands queries in English. But sooner or later it must be adapted for our country as well.

The only Xiaomi app that sneaked into the Mi A1 is the Mi Remote, which allows you to use the IrDA built into the top edge as Universal remote for any home appliances like TV or air conditioner. And this is rather a plus, nevertheless, starting with version 7.0 Android has become an exemplary operating system with good stability on all devices, which makes no sense to clog unnecessary elements.

There is enough power, but it does not conquer the peaks

Inside Xiaomi Mi A1, an eight-core Snapdragon 625 and 4 GB are installed random access memory... This is not a flagship level, but a good supply of RAM and OS optimization allows a mid-range processor to quickly cope with any daily tasks: menus open and scroll quickly and smoothly, applications start and run without slowdowns, and even a heavy pdf document of almost 500 pages is loaded with all graphics in seconds.

Mi A1 does not conquer the peaks of benchmarks, but thanks to the energy-efficient Snapdragon 625, Full HD IPS screen and 3080 mAh battery, it confidently lives one and a half to two days with average use (several calls, one and a half hours of Internet and social networks at 80% brightness, two hours of online music, periodic replies in instant messengers and mail with push notifications) and confidently lasts until late at night if you use a lot of maps, take photos and watch videos on YouTube in addition to the standard download.

The screen is good. For their money

For a device for 15 thousand rubles, Xiaomi Mi A1 has a really good, even excellent display. In direct comparison with the iPhone 7 Plus, it is inferior, but not without a fight: with the same resolution, brightness and pixel density, the Chinese state employee has less saturated colors and raised contrast, which makes the image seem flat, less expressive. The viewing angles are excellent, but it could have been calibrated better, the black color gives off a little purple.

The display is covered with a Gorilla Glass 3 panel, but there are some doubts about this - on the very first day a noticeable scratch appeared on the glass, although the smartphone was not put in the same pocket with keys or something like that. It seems that the usual large speck of dust on the table was enough.

There is a thin black bezel around the display between the white glass of the bezel and the screen, but you can't get away from that - the white iPhone 7 also has one.

Camera is the main test

A weighted verdict in the unexpected comparison of Xiaomi Mi A1 and iPhone 7 Plus can be drawn from the results of the main comparison - the camera test. Below are examples of pictures for both devices in equal conditions.

When viewing the captured photos on smartphone screens, I was even a little upset, the iPhone 7 Plus looked like the clear winner. But upon close examination on a single computer monitor, the difference was not so significant. Photos from Xiaomi even look brighter and more contrasting!

You can rate other photo comparisons in our gallery. Photos are signed and presented in full resolution.

Apple iPhone 7 Plus

Xiaomi Mi A1

The devices take photos in the same 12 megapixel resolution (4000x3000 pixels), matrices with enlarged pixels are used, and pairs of modules consist of one wide-angle lens and one telephoto lens, but the characteristics individual modules differ. Apple uses fast (f / 1.8 and f / 2.8) lenses with focal lengths of 28 mm and 56 mm, respectively, while Xiaomi has a simpler camera: f / 2.2 at 26 mm and f / 2.6 at 50 mm.

As expected, in bright daylight, both smartphones do fine, but Xiaomi produces slightly oversaturated colors (this can be corrected in the camera settings, but we specifically shot at standard values).

On the left is the Mi A1, on the right is the iPhone 7 Plus. In difficult conditions, the Mi A1 selects the white balance better, this is noticeable in the shots of the highway and the night lane, but due to the lower aperture in the dark, the shots lose detail and sharpness.

Has Lenovo gone crazy? But what about making money on clients? What is this nonsense? If I had boiled such a smartphone for my son right away, then I would have saved a lot of money. He has already smashed about 10 smartphones, from expensive to cheap. The record was with Asus, he dropped it on the first day and the glass shattered. To change for half the price of a smartphone, it's easier to throw it away. So, Lenovo is returning the legendary Motorola brand to Russia, but it does not just return, but turns its face to the buyer - an unbreakable screen, floating and with fast charging in 15 minutes to 8 hours of operation.
What for? Do they need profit?


For example, how much does it cost to replace an iPhone screen. Achrenet 30,000 rubles, just for glass ... Fuck you where to go ... with such prices.

The first devices on the Russian market will be smartphones of the Moto X series (Play, Style, Force) and Moto G.
See the characteristics themselves

New items are running the latest version of the OS Android Lollipop(further OS update is foreseen), equipped with Qualcomm processors, capacious batteries, and waterproof cases. The screens of the new smartphones are protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 and share a common design element: an elongated plate on the back that houses the main camera, a dual LED flash for precise color temperature control (CCT), and a logo. On the Moto X series, the 21MP main camera has instant responsiveness and no lag (ZSL).

The 3630 mAh battery provides a battery life of two days and supports the fast charging function (8 hours of operation in 15 minutes of charging). The Moto X Play has a water-repellent nano-coating that protects against water drops and splashes.

The main camera with a resolution of 21 megapixels is equipped with a phase detection autofocus (PDAF) function and is capable of shooting 4K video at 30 frames per second. Supports work with two SIM-cards. The 3000 mAh battery lasts all day with active use. The Turbo Power fast charging function in 15 minutes provides smartphone operation for 10 hours.

The Moto X Force display uses the exclusive Moto ShatterShield system, a five-layer system that absorbs shocks and prevents cracks and chips. The body of the smartphone is finished with ballistic nylon.

And now the prices.

During the presentation, the smartphone was floating in the aquarium, it was taken out and it continued to work ...

Now my wife only has such a smartphone) In order not to give a new one for every holiday

"Android to every home" - this motto could become official for Google. Judging by its popularity, the Green Robot is still the main operating system of our time. The reason is simple - accessibility, because Google not only does not interfere, but in every possible way encourages using android in millions of third-party devices, from expensive A-brand flagships like Samsung and HTC to unknown Chinese basement companies. Anyone can create an Android smartphone now. Sell ​​- units, but that's another question.

Leads the Android expansion of Google and on its own: in the USA and some European countries - a line flagship smartphones Pixel and smart speakers Google Home; in India and other developing countries - through Android program One. Its essence is simple: together with select technology companies, the search giant releases inexpensive smartphones, in which, however, it is established latest version Android. These devices cost about a hundred dollars and are aimed at those who, for a number of reasons, cannot afford a better smartphone.

Xiaomi Mi A1 was created within the framework of Android One, but it can be called the flagship of this program. Judge for yourself: a good processor (and even Qualcomm), a metal case, a dual camera just like the iPhone 7 Plus, a 5.5-inch Full HD display. And all this - on the purest Android and for the official 17 thousand rubles.!

Mi A1 recently made it to Russia - and for good reason.

In the past few years, Xiaomi has developed a style of its own. This is especially true of flagships: Mi 5 and Mi 6 were not the most original smartphones on the market, but Xiaomi designers could not be blamed for shamelessly copying the works of one well-known company from Cupertino. The Mi A1 is not the case. The new Xiaomi smartphone is not only similar to the iPhone 7, it is copied from it. To such an extent that the company itself is not ashamed to compare devices with each other head-on. Almost the same dimensions, the same rounded corners, the same antenna strips running along the upper and lower edges, almost the same dual camera module. The Chinese smartphone is given out only by the on-screen keys, which look ridiculous in such a design, and a fingerprint scanner on the back cover. There is nothing criminal in such imitation - Apple itself seems to have got used to it.

The Mi A1 is assembled conscientiously: the monolithic metal case in front is covered with solid glass and looks neat even in gold color. "Solid" is the first thing that comes to mind about the design of the Mi A1. Immediately after - "normal". The same can be said about the display: the local 5.5-inch panel lacks stars from the sky (the color balance is clearly littered with cold shades) and does not fit close to the glass, as in the iPhone, but the picture is excellent - for everything their 17 thousand.

Most of the complaints about the Mi A1 are removed by the price. Take the camera. It is far from the declared level (better than the iPhone 7 Plus), but the dual camera in the device for 17 thousand - where has this been seen? Moreover, the camera is not bad. She cosplays the same iPhone: two 12-megapixel modules, one ordinary, the other telephoto. All the charms arising from this design are in the kit: there is both an "optical" zoom, and a portrait mode. The latter works well: it is capricious and requires good lighting, but the images on the output turn out to be of good quality - it will be difficult to distinguish them from those taken on the 7 Plus in the Instagram feed.


As for the rest, the camera of the Mi A1 has no revelations. Shoots normally during the day, bad at night, just like other smartphones in this price range. But the performance did not disappoint: Mi A1 is another reason to sing praises to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. Fast, energy efficient, inexpensive - in terms of its characteristics, this is the best chip in the Android market, not counting the flagship Snapdragon 835. But let such ratings be geeks, it is important another - Mi A1 works smartly, almost does not heat up and lives on battery life for a relatively long time. If you do not compare it with Galaxy Note 8 or Xperia XZ1, you are unlikely to have any complaints about the speed of your smartphone. You can even play games. If we draw a car analogy, then the Mi A1 is not a Lamborghini, but, say, a SKODA Octavia - there is nothing to brag about, but for the majority of life there is enough for the eyes.

Now the main thing: Mi A1 works on the purest Android. No proprietary MIUI shell - just a green robot from Google's bins. From the Chinese, the smartphone got only the camera and remote control applications (yes, there is a universal remote control for controlling household appliances). Everything else is almost like the owners of the Pixel and Nexus. Google promises to regularly update Mi A1 for several more years - Android Oreo, for example, will arrive on a smartphone before the end of the year. In the world of low-cost Android smartphones, this is almost a unique situation, and for this reason alone new smartphone can be recommended for purchase.

The lack of NFC is sad, because it means that Android Pay does not work on the Mi A1. But the headphone jack was left - thanks for that, because listening to music on a smartphone is surprisingly pleasant. Mi A1 sounds better than some flagships, which came as a surprise to us.


Almost all of this text, like the creators of Mi A1 during the presentation, compared it with the iPhone, so it would be logical to ask - is the Chinese-American smartphone inferior to the iPhone? Sure! But the very fact that a device for 17 thousand can be compared with one of the most expensive flagships on the market with a clear conscience speaks volumes. Mi A1 fulfills every ruble, and it is difficult to find competitors for it in terms of balance. Maybe this is not the most "fashionable" smartphone of the season, it is devoid of gloss and individuality, and people will not stand behind it for several days, basking themselves with sandwiches with tea, but you will hardly regret buying it.

They were bought by Samsung for the Galaxy S8.

As a result, the Chinese announced the premiere of Mi 6 just a week before the event. By this time, all the characteristics of the future flagship were already on the Web, so the surprise fell through. However, this is not a tragedy: leaks have long been perceived as the most effective tool in order to stir up interest in the expected device.

This is what happened now. News about the next Xiaomi flagship appeared every day and automatically put buyers before a choice: take an expensive smartphone (Galaxy S8 / iPhone 7 Plus) or wait until the presentation of Mi 6 and, possibly, save several hundred dollars.

When creating the Xiaomi Mi 6, the Chinese faced three challenges. The first is to keep up with the trends set by Apple and Samsung. The second is to keep your own face. The third is to keep the attractive price tag on the verge of dumping.

After the presentation, we can safely say: yes, Xiaomi did it. Mi 6 is a very promising product, and not so much because of the price, but because the smartphone is practically devoid of weak points.

The design of the case combines the features of the iPhone (bottom end), Galaxy S8 (iridescent back) and Xiaomi itself: outwardly, the Mi 6 is not much different from last year's Mi5. The only caveat is 3D glass from all four sides: before, it was rounded only on the sides.

The bezels around the perimeter of the screen are preserved - they are huge by the standards of the Galaxy S8, but tiny when compared to the iPhone 7. It would be more correct to call them optimal: appearance they do not spoil, and there should be no accidental touches.

By the way, the screen here is 5.15-inch with Full HD resolution. Nothing unusual: installing a QHD display would be pointless both from the point of view of use (zero advantages) and from the point of view of cost (it would have grown significantly).

The main complaint about the design is the format dual cameras... Apple has competently combined two modules into one lens, and the Chinese have acted differently and decorated back panel quite specific "eyes".

At the same time, there are no questions about the camera itself: Xiaomi Mi 6 received a module from with optical zoom (2x), 4-axis optical stabilization, dual flash and video recording in 4K.

There is also a background blur mode - again, like in the iPhone 7. Considering that in the previous flagship Xiaomi (Mi5) the camera was generally mediocre, a noticeable step forward is obvious.

The Xiaomi Mi 6 has two external speakers, like the iPhone 7, and this is again an improvement over the Mi5, where the sound was flat and quiet. Also, Xiaomi has ditched the 3.5mm jack in favor of splash protection. A controversial sacrifice, especially considering the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S8 combines both a classic hole and a water-resistant case.

What are the main advantages?

The main advantage of Xiaomi Mi 6 is the price. The most affordable 64-gigabyte option will cost 360 dollars (20,500 rubles). The second modification has 128 GB on board and costs $ 420 (23,500 rubles).

There is also a third version of the smartphone - Mi 6 Ceramic, equipped with a durable ceramic body (8 points on the Mohs scale) and gold rims at the camera lens (18 carats). For a premium gadget, they ask for $ 435, or 24,500 rubles. Inside there, of course, 128 gigabytes of internal memory.

For that kind of money, Xiaomi simply has no competitors, because the Chinese have installed in their flagships the Snapdragon 835 processor (the most powerful and energy efficient in the family), 6 GB of RAM and a 3350 mAh battery with fast charging support.

In practice, this means that the Mi 6 will be able to “fly” in all applications for a couple of years (at least) without overheating and freezing. With the battery, everything is also very simple: a day and a half with an average load, a day with an intensive one, a full charge - in a little over an hour. It is important that in 15–20 minutes you can provide Mi 6 with energy, which will last for 5–6 hours of operation.

And if the Galaxy S8 can also be powered up quickly, then the iPhone 7 (and even more so 7 Plus) in the same 15 minutes will pick up a maximum of 10-12% of the battery capacity.

Start of sales

The start of sales of Mi 6 is scheduled for April 28. At the same time, on the 25th, the first ever Xiaomi presentation in Moscow will take place, where Mi 6 will be shown with a high degree of probability. It is naive to think that in Russia the phone will immediately be sold at par for 20-25 thousand - rather, at the start it is worth waiting for price tags in 30-35 thousand. But there are very serious chances that the smartphone will arrive to us faster than in previous years. In any case, the excitement will subside by about the middle of summer, and the cost will drop to reasonable values.

Will it replace the iPhone 7 and Galaxy S8?

When buying a device from Xiaomi, saving is not scary - this is a real flagship without obvious flaws. To the delight of buyers, the Chinese continue to adhere to the policy of killer prices, when the devices are sold a little more than the cost price.

Xiaomi Mi 6 is the very case when the Chinese smartphone is still inferior to devices from Apple and Samsung. The iPhone has a more refined interface and platform, while Samsung has an excellent screen and original design, although from the point of view of practicality, the flagship Xiaomi is at the level of devices for 600-800 dollars.

If we return to the price category of Xiaomi Mi 6, then everything is completely dull with competitors: representatives of Meizu, Huawei and other Chinese are much weaker in terms of characteristics.

True, Xiaomi still disappointed in one thing. Together with the Mi 6, the premiere of the Mi 6 Plus with a 4500 mAh battery was expected, but for unknown reasons it did not take place. It is likely that Xiaomi will release this gadget later, without a special event.

Today, Chinese smartphones are at their peak. Consumer interest in Huawei, Meizu and Xiaomi products made even one of the market leaders worry Apple... According to the results of the second quarter alone, sales of the "apple" brand in China decreased by 33% compared to the same period last year, and Apple's share of the smartphone market in China, according to Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, decreased by 1.8% - to 17. nine%. The leaders in the Chinese market are Huawei with a 25.7% share and Xiaomi with 18.5%.

Following the largest brands Huawei and ZTE, smaller companies such as Meizu, Xiaomi, LeEco and OnePlus reached Russia. Hi-Tech Mail published the opinions of the owners of budget and flagship models of Chinese competitors iPhone and delivered a verdict.

Meizu M3s mini

Pros: The "well-coordinated device" in a thin metal case with 2.5D-glass bribed users of the Russian Internet with its design and low price. Decent performance and time noted autonomous work: Battery lasts for two days of "moderate use". The speed and accuracy of the fingerprint scanner is delightful: "Works better and faster than the iPhone," writes one of the owners.

Minuses: The body is made of low-quality material: "it is quite easily subject to cosmetic defects." The vaunted fingerprint scanner often fails, the same happens with touch button Back. The camera “lathers”, the colors are faded, and at low light levels it “chokes” on noise. Users who have switched to Meizu M3s mini from old iPhones regret what they have done: "If not Apple, then who?"

Referee: Inexpensive, elegant, productive midrange in a metal case. Photo enthusiasts will be disappointed with the quality of the camera. It is worth buying a smartphone in white retail so that in the event of a fingerprint scanner breakdown there are no problems with a return or warranty repair.

Xiaomi Redmi 3s

Pros: The overwhelming majority is attracted by the low price tag. Happy smartphone owners are delighted with the battery: it lasts for two days in intensive mode. At the same time, the iron is powerful enough - you can even play. Final smear - fast fingerprint scanner: smartphone unlocks in less than a second.

Minuses: You need to monitor the firmware update so as not to drown in glitches - either the time zone will be reset after a reboot, then incoming calls are not detected, then the cheek presses on the screen during a call. Nuances - darkness! In general, "dancing with tambourines cannot be avoided", - summarize the users of the Russian Internet.

Referee: A middling battery with impressive battery life for little money. Everything is good in it, except for the "raw" firmware. For geeks, the need to dig into a smartphone is just a joy, but for an ordinary person, it will cause a bad mood.

LeEco Le 2

Pros: For little money, you get everything in the world - from metal case to a powerful processor and USB-C port. There is even fast charging.

Minuses:“The battery runs out as quickly as it charges,” writes one user. Under intense load, the charge may not be enough even for a day. Many people report squeaking from the USB connector - you can't hear it with the naked ear, but when recording video or audio, as well as during a conversation, it manifests itself. The camera lathers even in daylight, users say. The chip in the form of the lack of a 3.5 mm audio jack turned out to be a disadvantage of the smartphone for many.

Referee: A beautiful, powerful, modern smartphone. But, unfortunately, it leaves an impression of incompleteness. It seems that the manufacturer was in too much of a hurry to put it on sale.

Xiaomi Mi5

pros: “This phone is no compromise. He really does everything he should - and he does it beautifully! " The smartphone is not inferior to branded flagships with a similar filling and is at the same time much cheaper, users of the Russian Internet are sure. Not only high performance is noted, but also the fast charging function: up to 100% in one hour. Rear and front camera just gorgeous, write the owners of the smartphone.

Minuses: Many people are annoyed by the black borders around the screen. "Eats the battery like crazy." The firmware is teeming with unpleasant little things. When a call comes in, the subscriber's number is indicated, and not his name from the phone book, even if the subscriber is recorded, one of the users specifies. “After you add a fingerprint, then it is not deleted, writes an error. But this can be easily solved by temporarily changing the language to English, ”specifies another. It is noteworthy that there are much fewer complaints about the firmware of this model than the budget employee Xiaomi Redmi 3s.

Referee: This flagship would be flawless if it were not for the "dampness" of the firmware and high power consumption.

Meizu MX6

pros: "Everything is like the famous flagships, only several times cheaper", - the opinion of the users of the Russian Internet. Cool design a-la iPhone 6. Performance is great too. No freezes or slowdowns were noticed, one of the owners of the smartphone shares. They also praise fast charging, thanks to which the smartphone "gorges" up to 100% in 75 minutes, the camera and the sound in the headphones.

Minuses: Users don't like the lack of a slot for microSD card... They also report that under intense load, the smartphone heats up decently, and the battery is barely enough until the evening.

Referee: Flagship killer. Powerful, beautiful, inexpensive, but the autonomy is lame.

Oneplus 3

pros: In addition to design, construction and materials, users celebrate the ultimate performance and rave about 6GB of RAM. Praise the mode switch button. “It's a very handy thing, especially for me as a former iPhone owner,” explains one of the owners. The camera, fast charging, accurate fingerprint scanner, adequate price and "pure" Android 6.0 Marshmallow are the advantages of this smartphone, according to the Russian Internet.

Minuses: Slippery body. Many would like more autonomy. They write that the battery lasts for a day or so. Several cases of random reboots have been noticed. The camera does not perform well when shooting at night.

Referee: Considering the price, this smartphone can be called the best in the collection.
