Rating of the best smartphones with IPS screen

ASUS Zenfone 6 ZS630KL 6/128GB

Rating: 4.9

An unusual solution for the location of the camera is presented in the new ASUS Zenfone 6 ZS630KL. This smartphone can not be called the most productive, but in a number of ways it is significantly superior to the OnePlus 7T. It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 at 2.8 GHz as a processor, in combination with Adreno 640. The amount of RAM is only 6 GB. But the 128GB of internal storage can be expanded up to a whopping 2TB with a dedicated (non-SIM-shared) memory card slot. The entire system «stuffing» is powered by a 5000 mAh battery with support for Qualcomm Quick Charge 4. Its charge is enough for 624 hours of standby time or 33.3 hours of talk time.

The camera in this gadget is made in the form of a folding module. In a “folded” form, this is a 48 megapixel front camera, backed up by various settings. When turned around, it protrudes strongly above the top cover and already uses two lenses: another one is added to the 48-megapixel one, with a 13-megapixel matrix. The solution, of course, is original and allows you to remove the “monobrow” from the 6.4-inch screen. By the way, the IPS-matrix works great in it — the color reproduction is worthy of all praise. For some, a smartphone may seem expensive, but we assure you: it’s worth it.

OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition 12/256GB

Rating: 4.8

A special edition of the OnePlus 7T with exclusive styling and extra power. In our opinion, this is one of the most successful examples of flagship devices with a top-end set of system components. The octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus with Adreno 640 GPU delivers the highest performance in all top-end mobile platforms. Let’s say you can easily play the new Dead by Daylight or Dragon Raja on ultra graphics settings. The amount of 12 GB of operating memory also has a positive effect on the speed of work.

The quality of photography in OnePlus 7T can be called standard — it is clear that the smartphone was not created for these tasks. But the screen is a real pride of manufacturers. With a diagonal of 6.67 inches, its resolution is 3120×1440 pixels with a density of 515 ppi. AMOLED technology perfectly reproduces all shades and colors. With such data, the 4085 mAh battery looks, to put it mildly, not very good — it lasts less than a day of work. And although the smartphone supports OnePlus Warp Charge 30, this is still not the level for a flagship gadget. Otherwise — top for your money!

Apple iPhone 11 256GB

Rating: 4.8

Against the background of its competitors in the market, the iPhone 11 looks … no, not that strange. While others try to bribe users with technology, performance and features, the new «apple» gadget opposes mere belonging to a prestigious company. Judge for yourself: the processor here is an updated version of the 6-core Apple A13 Bionic with a frequency of 2.56 GHz. Graphic processing takes place on the processor, and the amount of RAM is only 4 GB. Yes, the amount of internal memory is 256 GB, but this is not something prohibitive.

The 3110 mAh battery supports both wireless and fast charging. With it, you can listen to music continuously for 65 hours…or perform other tasks, but with a threefold reduction in operating time. From the 24- and 12-megapixel cameras you should not expect miracles either, although the level of their equipment allows you to get good pictures. As for the screen, it supports a resolution of 1792×828 pixels with a density of 326 ppi. In general, this is enough for a 6.1-inch, but in contrast to other gadgets, the difference is already very large. As you understand, there are no sky-high technologies and opportunities here. But this is Apple, which means you will have to shell out fabulous money for the chance to touch the «elite» smartphone.

Honor 20 Pro 8/256GB

Rating: 4.7

The release of the pro version of Honor 20 was received very warmly by both critics and fans of smartphones in this line. This is because the new device had an almost top-end configuration for an affordable purchase price. It is based on a HiSilicon Kirin 980 chip with a Mali-G76 MP10 graphics accelerator and 8 GB of RAM. The amount of permanent memory is not expandable, but sufficient to satisfy even the most pretentious natures. It is 256 gigabytes.

The excess system power of the Honor 20 Pro rests on one of the main drawbacks of modern mobile technology: insufficient battery capacity. 4000 mAh cannot provide long-term work, especially when actively playing the latest titles. Fortunately, the device has support for wireless charging. As for the IPS-screen, the clarity of the picture transmission is pleasantly surprising in almost all respects. The maximum resolution of the 6.26-inch display is 2340×1080 pixels with a density of 412 ppi. The matrix perfectly conveys 16.78 million colors and shades. If you do not trust the Xiaomi brand, and do not want to spend money on «apple» technology, then we recommend that you take a closer look at Honor.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S 6/128GB

Rating: 4.6

Another smartphone model with an IPS screen from Xiaomi entered the top five in terms of price / quality ratio. Compared to the eighth series of Redmi Note, this device has undergone a fairly large-scale transformation. Firstly, it has an almost top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G with an Adreno 618 graphics accelerator. This bundle in itself allows you to run heavy games at high graphics settings. Helps her in this 6 gigs of RAM.

Good news for those who are not satisfied with 128 GB of base storage: there is a microSD slot! Storage can be expanded up to 512 GB. The screen of the phone has a diagonal of 6.67 inches and a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels. According to Xiaomi standards, it is protected by tempered glass Gorilla Glass 5. Well, the crown of all the advantages of the model is … a built-in 5020 mAh battery with Fast Charge support. This allows you to actively use the device for 1.5 days without recharging.

HUAWEI Nova 5T

Rating: 4.5

Another worthy representative of smartphones with an IPS screen, which is based on top system components. The HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor with 8 cores and 6 gigs of RAM is responsible for its performance. The graphic part is given for processing to the Mali-G76 MP10 chip. And finally, the internal storage capacity is 128 gigabytes. Along with this, it is worth noting the presence of a fairly capacious 3750 mAh battery with fast charging function.

A notable feature of the HUAWEI Nova 5T is the location of the fingerprint scanner on the side. The main camera of the model has 4 lenses and 68 megapixels in total. The front camera also has a 32-megapixel matrix, which allows you to take high-quality selfies. Now about the screen. Its diagonal is 6.42 inches, and the resolution reaches 2340×1080 pixels. Color reproduction is good, about 16.78 million colors and shades. In general, this is everything you need to know about the technical part.

Honor 20s 6/128GB

Rating: 4.4

This smartphone was released almost at the end of 2019 and in three months managed to win the glory of one of the best. Despite mediocre system components, it shows decent performance. All thanks to increased to 6 GB of RAM, which supports HiSilicon Kirin 710 and Mali-G51 MP4. In general, you can play something heavy and resource-intensive, but only on medium-low settings.

One of the main advantages of the Honor 20s is its miniature composition — the model has a diagonal of 6.15 inches and weighs 159 g. It is very easy to hold and use without additional support. The resolution of the IPS screen is 2312×1080 pixels with a density of 415 ppi. Therefore, the picture is very clear and detailed. The main drawback of the model is hidden under the rear panel — there is a 3340 mAh battery. With occasional use, you will have to charge your smartphone at least once every 18-20 hours.

HUAWEI P40 Lite E 4/64GB

Rating: 4.3

A light version of the flagship smartphone HUAWEI P40, using the eight-core HiSilicon Kirin 710F processor with the Mali-G51 graphics accelerator. A 4 GB module is used here as RAM, so you should not have illusions about playing heavy games. But you can count on the showiness and elegance of the gadget — its exterior really looks expensive.

The screen in this version of the smartphone is based on an IPS-matrix with a resolution of 1560×720 pixels. That’s small enough for a 6.39-inch model, but the workmanship is high and you can’t argue with that. The front camera is also a weak point of the device: only 8 megapixels without any additional equipment. From the rear, everything is much better: three lenses with 48 + 8 + 2 megapixel matrices allow you to take moderately clear and good photos. In general, if you want to have a “beautiful picture”, but do not have 48 thousand rubles, then feel free to buy P40 Lite E.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro 6/128GB

Rating: 4.2

A very cool gadget based on a MediaTek Helio G90T processor with 6 gigs of RAM and a Mali-G76 MC4 video chip. Such a bunch of system components allows Redmi Note 8 Pro to pull even the most demanding games. The 4.5 Ah battery with the Fast Charge function also helps in this — you can immediately see what the device is intended for.

The model has a 6.53-inch screen with a resolution of 2340×1080. To protect it from scratches, you do not need to stick a film — the display already has tempered Gorilla Glass 5 from the factory. As for the cameras, there are as many as 4 lenses with a resolution of 64 + 8 + 2 + 2 MP on the rear panel. Thanks to this, you can not only take super-clear pictures, but also shoot videos in 4k resolution. With the front camera, everything is much simpler: the 20-megapixel camera shoots almost the same as the previous competitor from Meizu. If you want to get high quality at a low price, then this gadget is the best choice.

Meizu Note 9 4/64GB

Rating: 4.1

Compared to the Honor 10i, the Meizu Note 9 has one major advantage…and a couple of drawbacks specific to this build. In particular, we are talking about 64 GB of internal storage — in 2020 this is no longer enough. The gadget uses a chip

Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 with 8 cores in conjunction with the Adreno 612 video processor and 4 gigs of RAM. Responsible for battery life is a 4000 mAh battery with support for fast charging.

The multi-touch display of the model with a diagonal of 6.2 inches has an IPS matrix with a resolution of 2244×1080 dpi. The pixel density, in turn, is also quite high: 404 ppi. The 20 MP front camera shoots mediocre, while the dual rear (48 + 5 MP) has good potential for high-quality shooting. The smartphone also has voice control and a fingerprint scanner.

Honor 10i 128GB

Rating: 4.0

A good budget smartphone with an IPS screen of the 2019 model year based on an 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 710 processor and a Mali-G51 MP4 video chip. Not the fastest in the line, but not the worst: 4 GB of RAM allows you to run quite demanding games and applications. The internal storage of 128 GB can be expanded with a microSD card of 512 GB, but the same slot is for a second SIM card.

The 6.21-inch screen is based on an IPS color matrix with a pixel density of 415 ppi. Thanks to this, the picture is very high quality, especially since the resolution is 2340×1080 dpi. The Honor 10i battery is non-removable, 3400 mAh. When working with resource-intensive software, its charge is consumed very quickly. Overall, this is a good buying option with a stylish look and a budget price. But no more.
