Smartphones are in great demand in all countries of the world. However, we can not say that manufacturers of such devices are available absolutely everywhere. No, they are mainly located in South Korea, the United States, China, Japan and India. Some of them are present in Russia, but in fact our companies just order finished products from their Chinese colleagues, then just sell it under their brand( the exception is only Yota Devices).Below we will talk about those companies that produce very good smartphones. At the same time, we will not mention those of them whose devices do not enter the Russian market.
The best manufacturers of smartphones
Samsung
The leader of the global smartphone market, which produces and sells the largest number of such devices. He is in this status for more than a year. Although it all started not too rosy - the first button phones of the South Korean company in terms of popularity and capabilities were inferior to products of Nokia, Siemens, LG and many other competitors. Everything changed only with the advent of the Android operating system. Smartphones from the Galaxy series gradually became functional, and for a long time only the energy-efficient and colorful AMOLED screen was available.

It has a number of limitations that may not appeal to an inexperienced user - for example, on a smartphone it's difficult to transfer music from a computer. But almost all "iPhones" are very pretty.

LG
It's hard to find fault with the quality of manufacturing LG smartphones. If you buy such a device, you can go with him for several years. However, there are devices of the South Korean manufacturer and disadvantages. For example, we do not recommend you look towards budget models. They are equipped with the simplest components, losing in terms of characteristics to numerous Chinese competitors. Fortunately, such problems are not present in top models. They not only offer the maximum specifications, but also have some special features. They have two screens on the front panel. Or the device will have support for plug-ins.

Xiaomi
This Chinese company produces the best smartphones in terms of the "price / quality" ratio. For relatively little money, its devices offer quite good characteristics. For a long time, Russians liked to order Xiaomi smartphones from abroad, which made it possible to save even more. However, since May 2017, "Smart Orange" LLC closed the shop - henceforth Russians can buy these devices only in their country. Because of this, the attractiveness of Xiaomi products has slightly decreased. But this does not change the fact that Chinese smartphones are easy to learn and have reliable components. In this case, even top models are significantly cheaper than the flagships of competitors. However, and something unusual from Xiaomi devices are not offered. This is explained by the fact that the products of the Chinese company are designed for the mass user, and not for those who like to experiment.

- Almost all devices have two slots for SIM-cards;
