Smartphones have slowly but steadily increased their share in the total sales of mobile devices, until very recently their production volume has not surpassed that of “ordinary” cell phones. Today, the user is no longer able to make and receive calls anywhere in the world - one does not want to even take a second off the limitless possibilities of the Internet, turn his mobile device into a real entertainment center that can fill every minute of his life with a holiday. Of course, an ordinary mobile phone is not able to satisfy these needs to an adequate extent, therefore, mass demand began to gradually be redirected to smartphone phones - hybrids of "cellular" and pocket personal computers.
Just look around, and you will understand how they changed our world: the Internet has finally gone beyond the premises, becoming truly global, devices are not inferior in power and functionality to some personal computers, becoming a kind of pass to the global information society. The best smartphones have combined the capabilities of a large number of devices and devices, combining them in one compact case. A full-fledged camera, navigator, laptop, distance meter and even a metal detector or level - smartphones can act in all these guises, thanks to hundreds of thousands of applications written specifically for them.
There are a number of signs that distinguish a smartphone from a phone - these are large sizes, the presence of a touch screen, advanced functionality and multitasking support, a large amount of RAM and built-in memory. But one of the main things that determines how a smartphone differs from a phone is a mobile operating system. Their very appearance and the subsequent division of the market between 2-3 leaders and allowed developers to start mass production of useful android applications that make our life even brighter, easier, more interesting. And the technical characteristics of the representatives of a new class of devices freed up the hands of programmers - never before has the technology allowed to create applications for mobile gadgets with the same functionality and graphics as for desktop PCs. Mobile OSs allow optimal use of all system capabilities, which is an inexhaustible source for implementing the ideas of programmers and technical experts.
In principle, there has never been an open confrontation between “smartphones phones”: smartphones initially appeared as premium devices and exerted significant pressure only on the most expensive “mobile phones” models. Today, the smartphone market is also structured into segments, as the mobile phone market once was, despite the persisting stereotypes, and economy class devices. The world's leading manufacturers, reigning supreme in the global market, nevertheless leave very serious niches for other companies with their own philosophy and competent management. For example, the British company Fly was able to reach third place in terms of smartphone sales in Russia.
What is the secret to the success of this manufacturer? Most experts agree that the reason for the increase in the market shares of alternative manufacturers is the prohibitively high level of “brand fees” charged by world leaders today. Fly, in turn, offers a wide range of devices for every taste and budget, the quality of which has already been appreciated by millions of consumers around the world. “Top” smartphones from Fly are in no way inferior in their characteristics to the “flagships” of all well-known companies, and economy-class smartphones are in the price segment, where they have to compete with ordinary cell phones. It turns out that any Fly device can save up to 60% of the cost (in comparison with similar models from other manufacturers) without saving on the design, performance, functionality and quality of the mobile device
The Russian consumer, who already understands perfectly how the smartphone differs from the phone, has chosen his favorite in the middle segment - Fly Magic. A great device for work and entertainment, you will be impressed by the possibilities of working with office documents of all formats, calendar and organizer settings, quick search on the Internet and GPS support, and on the big screen it is so convenient to watch photos or videos, play modern toys or just read your favorite books . The Fly Magic smartphone (IQ446), which costs about 9,000 rubles, has a really decent technical stuffing: a 4.5-inch touchscreen display, a powerful 4-core processor, an 8MPix camera with the ability to record video in High Definition, and One of the most powerful and reliable mobile operating systems (Android 4.1). And of course, traditionally for all products from Fly - support for the operation of 2 SIM cards in standby mode. This bestseller has no competitors even in the extended price range, and user reviews indicate good build quality and componentry (the percentage of technical failures is minimal).
Nevertheless, Fly does not refuse customers who are more conservative and want to buy a regular cell phone, but with advanced multimedia capabilities With Fly E157 you will get great benefits at an incredibly low price. Built-in Wi-Fi will allow you to access the Internet wherever there is access to the network, and on a large 3.5 ”screen it is much more convenient to view the information you need than on the standard display of a classic phone. The MP3 player, radio, the ability to read e-books in various formats, 2 SIM cards, a 1.3 MPix camera and convenient touch controls present it in the phone and make it stand out from the general list. For that kind of money, classic button phones, sliders and clamshells are usually presented in stores, but here you get a device that differs from a smartphone only by the lack of a mobile operating system. Analysts unanimously call Fly E157 the most worthy option in the budget segment.
Whatever you choose, ordinary cell phones or smartphones, purchased devices must be of high quality and reliable. You should not pay attention to little-known (most often, Chinese) brands, because such gadgets may not work for you for a week. Similarly, copies - it is better to buy a device that copies the technical stuffing of premium smartphones than it is not clear where the smartphones are made with a design similar to expensive devices.
