Samsung smartphones enjoy well-deserved attention from users all over the world. In Russia, these phones also occupy the first lines in sales. First of all, thanks to the high quality workmanship, rather powerful and modern stuffing, the support of the proprietary Samsung Pay system. This article will help you navigate the wide range of Samsung smartphones and choose the right one in terms of features and price.
S series flagships
Models of the highest price category in Samsung are usually labeled with the letter S. New from Samsung in 2018 is a modern flagship phone Samsung Galaxy S9. It features a significantly improved camera with the ability to change the aperture f = 1, 5 and 2, 5, shoot video at up to 960 frames per second. The flagships are equipped with an iris scanner and a face recognition system.
The enlarged model of the flagship is indicated by a plus. So, the S9 + is an enlarged S9 with a 0.4-inch larger screen and a more powerful battery. The same designation system for the previous S8 model, which has not yet lost its relevance, but costs a little cheaper.
The flagship models include Samsung Note 5 and 8, which have a larger screen and support for a stylus.
The S series models compete with the flagships of all brands on the market. But the price may seem overkill for the average Russian buyer. Especially considering the fact that every year a new generation of devices comes out, devaluing the old one.
Middle class A
The middle class of Samsung is much wider than the flagship one. There are five models to choose from here. They differ in price, screen size and capabilities. A3, A5, A7 and the new Samsung A8 and its enlarged version A8 +, which have been added since the end of 2017, are designated.
For the entire 2017 lineup, water protection and support for Samsung Pay are declared. Devices A have only one rear-facing camera. Super Amoled screen, fingerprint sensor, memory card and dual SIM supported. At the same time, you do not need to sacrifice one of them for the sake of increasing memory.
A mid-range smartphone from the A series is the choice of rational people who are not ready to buy a gadget worth a monthly salary, but appreciate modern technical solutions. It is no coincidence that in terms of sales in pieces in Russia, they are leading in the model range of Koreans.
Budget class J
Samsung marketers consider this class of phones "for all occasions." These are budget models, but they are assembled with high quality. Smartphones of this category are labeled with the letter J and a number. As in the middle price segment, the larger the number, the larger the screen, as a rule.
Basic functions are implemented for all devices: a good camera, support for up to 2 SIM cards (not in all devices of the series). The J5 Prime, which has a fingerprint sensor, stands out separately. Samsung Pay is not supported in Samsung's budget class.
Samsung J smartphone models compete with budget Chinese phones. The performance comparison is far from always in favor of the Koreans. But in terms of the quality of assembly and service in Russia, they have a definite advantage.
