There was a time when computers operated using a simple single-core processor. But gradually the power of the components began to increase. Then something similar began to happen with smartphones. Now many models cope with various tasks better and faster than desktop computer, not to mention a laptop! In today's selection we will look at the most powerful smartphones. In this case, we will focus on AnTuTu, since it is it that best evaluates the performance of portable equipment. Data is as of February 2019.
What does power depend on?
The results of benchmark testing are influenced by a variety of components:
- CPU- it is this that is the key to power; with a weak chipset, no other component can provide high speed;
- RAM - the number of simultaneously running applications depends on its volume, and its functionality is also affected by its throughput;
- Persistent memory- if it is slow, then the programs will work very slowly;
- Graphics accelerator- Playing videos and launching 3D games depend on it.
The remaining components affect the breadth of functionality rather than performance.

Conclusion
Attentive readers may have noticed that market leaders Samsung and Apple were not included in the top most productive smartphones. This confirms that the companies have very serious competitors. If the trend does not change, then both brands may lose their market share, because in other indicators China and other countries have long looked no worse.
Every year, smartphone manufacturers introduce new models to the market. Users receive more powerful, productive and functional devices. Traditionally, the attention of experts and most consumers is focused on the most powerful, flagship models. And this is understandable - it is in these devices that the latest technological innovations are implemented. They are the ones who show us today in which direction the smartphone industry will develop tomorrow. To understand what awaits us in the near future, let’s look at the top powerful smartphones at the moment.
But we will make an unusual review. Agree, it’s boring to constantly talk about the same thing all the time. On every profile resource you can read that the most powerful smartphone of 2017 is either a flagship from Samsung or the next iPhone model from Apple. But what is the practical use of such reviews? What proportion of users have the budget to purchase the flagship model of leading market players? For this reason, we decided to focus on products from lesser-known brands.
Today, there are smartphones from dozens of manufacturers on the market. Everyone in their lineup must have one. flagship model, powerful and productive. Often, in some indicators, such devices even surpass market leaders. At the same time, their price is several times lower. Agree, rarely does anyone use the functionality of their smartphone 100%. And if you need a gadget to perform specific tasks, it is better to pay attention to models in which the corresponding functionality is implemented in the best possible way.
For example, you take a lot of photographs and communicate in social networks. To do this, you need a smartphone with a high-quality camera and high-speed Internet support. For those who use a smartphone for work, processor performance and a large amount of internal memory for installing numerous applications are more important. Music lovers should pay attention to the support external cards memory - this is the most budget-friendly way to download your favorite songs to the device’s memory.
And for certain functions it is not necessary to have the most powerful smartphone, superior to other models in all respects. You can choose a device with an optimal price/functionality ratio. Therefore, we decided to pay attention to models from brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Meizu, BlackBerry and Wileyfox.
Let's start our rating of the most powerful smartphones in this market segment with a review of the flagship of the popular Chinese brand Xiaomi. It is worth noting that interest in Chinese gadgets has been growing recently. More and more consumers are choosing more affordable, but no less powerful and functional models from companies from the Middle Kingdom. As for the Xiaomi brand, the most powerful smartphone of 2017 in its line is the flagship Xiaomi Mi 6. This model is interesting because it is presented on the market in three configuration options - budget, mid-range, and top-end.
For the budget configuration, a MediaTek Helio X30 processor is provided, while more expensive modifications are equipped with Snapdragon 835 chips. In addition, there are differences in the amount of RAM - in different models it ranges from 4 to 6 GB, also the built-in memory is up to 256 GB in the TOP version. Common to all configurations is a modern metal body, a 5.2-inch display and high-quality 16-megapixel cameras.
The price of a smartphone, depending on the configuration, ranges from 17 to 30 thousand rubles.
Another model from a Chinese manufacturer. The well-known and quite popular company Huawei in Russia in 2017 offered users new smartphone- Huawei P10. Let us note one feature that distinguishes the devices of this company from many others. Most often, Huawei equips its gadgets with processors of its own design. The Huawei P10 device received an 8-core Kirin 960 chipset. The processor performance in multi-core mode exceeds even the world's most powerful processor A10 (developed by Apple). And if we focus on this indicator, then we can even say that Huawei P10 today is the most powerful smartphone in the world in 2017.
Other technical characteristics: 5.5-inch screen, dual 12-megapixel cameras, 6 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal memory. At the same time, we cannot say that this is a budget model - the cost of a smartphone is Russian market starts from 38 thousand rubles.
In 2017, another company decided to please its fans with a new flagship smartphone. The Meizu brand is known to many users who prefer to buy inexpensive models of fairly powerful smartphones. Replacing last year's favorite Meizu Pro 6 Plus, a new model will be released this season - Meizu Pro 7. Since the device has not yet gone on sale, we can only discuss preliminary technical characteristics.
It is expected to have a metal case, a 5.62-inch screen diagonal, and be equipped with a 10-core MediaTek Helio X30 processor. It is assumed that the model will receive 6 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory. It is also known that the device will be equipped with a 12-megapixel main and 8-megapixel front camera. Considering the fact that Chinese smartphones have recently begun to move from the budget segment to the mid-range, it is worth assuming that Meizu price The Pro 7 is unlikely to be at the budget level.
We invite you to pay attention to another very interesting phone. Today, the form factor in which BlackBerry is produced is quite unusual. But at one time he was extremely popular. So-called QWERTY all-in-one computers, or “calculators,” were widespread just a few years ago. Their four-row keyboard was much more convenient for typing compared to the usual layout regular phone. But with the arrival on the market touch screens such a solution became of little interest, and the company began to lose its position.
In 2017, BlackBerry Mercury, the brainchild of Chinese BlackBerry manufacturers and software developers, entered the market. This solution will probably seem inconvenient to many users. Right. If you're used to using your smartphone to view photos or videos, the BlackBerry Mercury's screen will be a bit small. At the same time, for users who use a smartphone for work, this model can be an excellent choice. Battery large capacity, good cameras and a fairly fast Snapdragon 625 chipset will allow you to organize work in applications and not worry about the battery being discharged at the end of the day.
Although many may be stopped by the price of the device - on the Russian market BlackBerry Mercury is sold for 37 thousand rubles.
Wileyfox Company
When choosing today which most powerful smartphone from the available models on the market is worth buying, be sure to pay attention to model range British company Wileyfox.

Thus, each device supports working with two SIM cards. In addition, even budget models support high-speed 4G LTE data networks. It is worth noting the attractive design and high quality of both assembly and components. Without a doubt, the powerful equipment of the Wileyfox family of smartphones is a huge plus, given their affordable price.
The best way to evaluate all the advantages of the British company's products is to take a short review of its flagship smartphone.
The Wileyfox Swift 2 X model has an attractive stylish design and excellent technical characteristics. The high-quality Full HD IPS 5.2-inch display provides high image quality even under the most unfavorable conditions (bright sunlight and wide viewing angles). The screen has slightly rounded 2.5D edges, which further emphasize the originality of the model.
Worth noting high performance apparatus, which is achieved by coordinated work current version operating system, a powerful 8-core Qualcomm MSM8937 chipset and 3 GB of RAM. The device is equipped with 32 GB of internal memory, supports microSDXC memory cards up to 128 GB. Those who like to take a lot of photographs will certainly appreciate the high-quality 16-megapixel camera that shoots video in Full HD format.
One of the many advantages of the model is the ability to use two SIM cards. Today this is a fairly popular and relevant option. Difficult to find tariff plan, equally beneficial both for calls and SMS, and for connecting to mobile internet. There are no more problems with this. One SIM card - for maximum benefits voice services, the other is for 4G Internet. And most importantly, in the Wileyfox Swift 2 X smartphone it does not matter in which slot the card is installed. To access the Internet, you can select any slot by simply indicating it in the menu. In addition, we note the presence of a fingerprint scanner and the implementation of NFC technology. Technology support will probably also be useful. fast charging Quick Charge 3.0 battery, which allows you to charge the battery to 25% capacity in just 10 minutes.
