Laptops and larger hard drives

Storage Area

For memory, we recommend 16GB of RAM, and 8GB is the minimum. RAM is where the operating system stores all data from running applications, and it can fill up quickly. After that, it starts switching between RAM and SSD, which is slow. Most laptops under $500 have 4 or 8 GB, which combined with a slower drive can speed up the Windows laptop experience. In addition, most laptops now have built-in memory on the motherboard. Most manufacturers specify this, but if the RAM type is LPDDR, assume that it is sold and cannot be upgraded.

Some PC of Iot Devices manufacturers also sell memory and leave the internal space empty to install RAM modules. You can contact the manufacturer of the laptop or check the detailed specifications of the laptop online to confirm it. But look at the user experience on the web, where it can be difficult to get there, it may require non-standard or difficult to access storage or other pitfalls, including warranty violations.

Security

You'll still find cheap hard drives in budget laptops and larger hard drives in gaming computers, but fast SSDs have largely replaced hard drives in laptops. They can make a big difference in performance. But not all SSDs are fast, and cheap computers often have slow drives; If the laptop only has 8 GB of RAM, it can stop changing the disk and the system can crash quickly when you are working.

Get what you can afford, and if you must use a smaller drive, you can add an external drive or two later, or use cloud storage to expand the smaller internal drive. The only exception is for gaming laptops: we don't recommend using an SSD smaller than 512 GB unless you like to uninstall games every time you want to play a new game.

أفضل نوع ذاكرة للكمبيوتر المحمول التي ستُغيِّر تجربتك تمامًا

مع تزايد نحافة أجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة وخفة وزنها وسرعتها، لجأت الشركات المُصنِّعة إلى لحام المزيد والمزيد من المُكوِّنات الداخلية باللوحة الأم، مما أدى إلى ظهور الذاكرة المُضمَّنة. ومع ذلك، فإنَّ ما تخسره الذاكرة المُضمَّنة من حيث إمكانية الترقية، تُعوضه بالسرعة. بالنسبة لي، عند اختيار كمبيوتر محمول جديد، تُعد سرعة وأداء الذاكرة من أهم العوامل التي تُؤثر بشكل مباشر على تجربة الاستخدام. تم تطوير الذاكرة المُضمَّنة بحيث تُقدم أداءً فائقًا وسرعة أكبر مُقارنةً بالتقنيات السابقة، مما يجعل أجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة أكثر كفاءة وفعالية. إذا كنت تبحث عن تعزي�� أدائك اليومي وجعل مهامك أسرع، فإنَّ اختيار هذا النوع من الذاكرة سيكون قرارًا حاسمًا. ومع احتدام السباق نحو الحصول على جهاز مثالي رفيع وخفيف الأداء، تبدو الذاكرة المُضمَّنة وكأنها المستقبل الذي نتجه إليه — يجب أن تُفكر في التبديل إليها بكل تأكيد. تحقق من أفضل ذاكرة وصول عشوائي للكمبيوتر المحمول لتحسين أداء جهازك.

ما هي LPDDR5X؟

إذا كنت تبحث عن أجهزة كمبيوتر محمولة عالية الأداء، فمن المُرجح أن يكون نوع الذاكرة هو LPDDR5X. حيث تم إصدار هذا المعيار في عام 2021 وهو أحدث معيار للذاكرة LPDDR (معدل البيانات المُزدوج منخفض الطاقة). وهو يجلب العديد من التحسينات إلى معايير DDR4 و LPDDR4 و DDR5، بما في ذلك السرعة والموثوقية وكفاءة الطاقة. تم تصميم LPDDR5X خصيصًا للهواتف وأجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة الرفيعة والخفيفة وأي شيء عمليًا يتطلب ذاكرة سريعة دون إضافة حجم. نظرًا لأنه أسرع من معايير ذاكرة الوصول العشوائي الموجودة في أجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة، يُمكنك القيام بالمزيد باستخدام ذاكرة وصول عشوائي أقل مع إطالة عمر بطارية الكمبيوتر المحمول.

غير قابلة للترقية، وتُكلف أكثر

أحد العيوب الرئيسية لذاكرة LPDDR5X، وبالتالي الذاكرة المُضمَّنة، هو أنها غير قابلة للترقية. إذا اشتريت كمبيوتر محمولًا بذاكرة LPDDR5X، فسيتعين عليك تحديد مقدار الذاكرة التي تُريدها عند الشراء. نظرًا لأنَّ شرائح الذاكرة ملحومة باللوحة الأم، فلا يوجد خيار لزيادة أو ترقية الذاكرة لاحقًا عن طريق إضافة أو استبدال الوحدات الموجودة. ومع ذلك، قد تُغيِّر ذاكرة LPCAMM2 القادمة ذلك. الجانب السلبي الآخر هو التكلفة. تميل أجهزة الكمبيوتر المحمولة التي تتوفر على LPDDR5X إلى أن تكون تكلفتها أعلى من نظيراتها التي تتوفر على LPDDR5 أو DDR5. ومع ذلك، هذا جانب سلبي مفهوم، مع الأخذ في الاعتبار أنك تحصل على سرعات أعلى بكثير وكفاءة طاقة أفضل. تحقق من لماذا لا تحتاج إلى إنفاق الكثير على الكمبيوتر المحمول؟ على الرغم من أني أمتلك جهاز مُكلف.

مُقارنة بين LPDDR5X و LPDDR5

كما ذكرنا من قبل، تُقدم LPDDR5X العديد من التحسينات مُقارنةً بـ LPDDR5. زيادة السرعة من 6.5 جيجابت في الثانية إلى 8.5 جيجابت في الثانية باستخدام نفس جهد النواة 1.1 فولت. تختلف أرقام الأداء حسب الشركة المُصنِّعة، حيث تدّعي شركة Samsung أنَّ معدل نقل البيانات هو الأفضل في الصناعة وهو 10.4 جيجابت في الثانية. موثوقية أكبر بفضل ميزة إدارة التحديث التكيفي الجديدة. كفاءة بطارية أفضل بنسبة تصل إلى 20%. سلامة إشارة أفضل. هذا يعني أنك ستحصل على أداء ذاكرة أسرع بما يصل إلى 2 جيجابت في الثانية بنفس استهلاك الطاقة. تُعد ذاكرة الوصول العشوائي في نظامك واحدة من أكثر المُكوِّنات التي يتم الوصول إليها، وكل نقل بيانات يستهلك الطاقة. قد لا تبدو كفاءة البطارية الأفضل بنسبة 20 % كبيرة على الورق، ولكن عند توزيعها بين مئات، إن لم يكن آلاف، عمليات نقل البيانات ذهابًا وإيابًا، يُمكن أن تفعل العجائب لعمر البطارية دون التخلي عن الأداء.

إذا كنت تستخدم ذاكرة LPDDR5 أو حتى DDR5 في الكمبيوتر المحمول، فقد لا تُلاحظ فرق الأداء إلا إذا كنت تستخدم تطبيقات تستنزف طاقة نظامك، مثل الألعاب أو تطبيقات تعديل الفيديوهات. ومع ذلك، فإنَّ كفاءة البطارية ستكون مفيدة لأنك لن تحصل فقط على عمر بطارية أفضل بشكل عام دون الحاجة إلى بطارية أكبر (وأكثر ضخامة) في الكمبيوتر المحمول الخاص بك، ولكنك ستتمكن أيضًا من الحفاظ على هذا الأداء السريع عندما تكون على طاقة البطارية أو شاحن بقوة واط أقل. تحقق من نصائح لاختيار كمبيوتر محمول سهل الإصلاح قبل الشراء.

لماذا أستخدم LPDDR5X (ويجب عليك أيضًا)

على الرغم من عدم إمكانية ترقيتها، إلا أنني أفضل LPDDR5X على مُتغيِّرات الذاكرة الأخرى لسببين رئيسيين: السرعة وكفاءة الطاقة. إذا كنت بحاجة إلى أسرع ذاكرة مُمكنة في الكمبيوتر المحمول الخاص بك، فإنَّ LPDDR5X هي الحل الأمثل. اعتمادًا على بقية تكوين الكمبيوتر المحمول الخاص بك، يمكن أن يحدث فرق السرعة بين أنواع الذاكرة فرقًا كبيرًا. إذا كنت تقوم بتشغيل تطبيقات متعددة جنبًا إلى جنب، أو لديك الكثير من علامات تبويب المتصفح مفتوحة، أو تستخدم تطبيقات كثيفة الموارد مثل Photoshop أو Premiere Pro، فإنَّ هذه السرعة الإضافية ستجعل حياتك أسهل كثيرًا. تحصل على كل هذا الأداء الإضافي مع الحصول على المزيد من طاقة بطارية الكمبيوتر المحمول. من أهم مزايا وجود مُكوِّنات موفرة للطاقة في جهازك المحمول، سواء كان الكمبيوتر المحمول أو الهاتف أو جهاز الألعاب المحمول، أنك تحصل على عمر بطارية أطول دون الحاجة إلى بطارية أكبر. وهذا يُؤثر بشكل مباشر على مدى نحافة وخفة وزن جهازك. LPDDR5X هي تكلفة تدفعها لمرة واحدة. قد تُكلفك أكثر قليلاً، لكن تحسينات الأداء وعمر البطارية تستحق المال الإضافي. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، مع زيادة الأداء، سيستمر الكمبيوتر المحمول لفترة أطول. يُمكنك الإطلاع الآن على مُقارنة بين ذاكرة الوصول العشوائي الأسرع وذات الحجم الأكبر: أيهما أكثر أهمية لتحسين الأداء؟.

LPCAMM2: Perfect memory for next-gen laptops

Unlocking LPCAMM2 Potential: An In-Depth Look

The laptops are taking over. This year, global sales are expected to reach 171 million, while desktop sales will drop to 79 million. Due to their improved performance, portability, and display, more people use laptops as their main computer. But reliance brings expectations.

Looking for the perfect laptop

Laptops have evolved from low-mid performance systems for portability at the expense of performance to desktop replacements for more than internet browsing. Content creation and new trends like laptop AI demand increased memory bandwidth, and customers won’t sacrifice performance for portability or sleek, thin form factors. Performance matters.

Of course, battery life matters too. Working, learning, and playing from anywhere requires good battery life. Workloads change, so laptop battery life optimization must include real-world use cases.

Finally, this work/educate/play-from-anywhere trend requires thin, light systems without sacrificing battery life or performance. These requirements force every laptop component to find new ways to save space or power without sacrificing performance.

In addition to these requirements, the PC industry has long relied on system upgrades. Innovation is welcome here, but innovation that sacrifices upgradeability limits market adoption. This upgrade ability is crucial today due to sustainability concerns. Laptops with solder-down memory to make them thinner were popular, but customers were disappointed to learn that memory upgrades were not possible.

Perfect memory for next-gen laptops

New laptops that can handle today’s workloads and prepare for tomorrow’s AI PC demands need a lower-power, smaller, and upgradeable memory solution that doesn’t affect performance or form factor.

Low-power DDR (LPDDR) with LPCAMM2, Micron’s new memory type, uses the latest LPDDR5X mobile memory in a new module form factor to reduce power and footprint while increasing performance, repairability, and upgradability.

LPDDR outperforms DDR in every power usage test. LPDDR is designed to save power, not just when idle. Phones and tablets are expected to be ready instantly, perform at their best, and then sleep with little power. Of course, the battery should last all day. Historically, laptops have struggled with low-power DDR memory. As laptops become more integrated into our lives, we expect them to act like phones and tablets. Only LPDDR mobile memory can do this on the memory subsystem.

Once a laptop designer chooses LPDDR, the downside is that it is not modular and must be soldered directly onto the motherboard. This disrupts design, qualification, manufacturing, and user experience. Selecting a non-modular memory solution means the system builder is responsible for manufacturing failures, which could affect the motherboard and other BOM components, adding cost and rework. Solder-down memory also requires the motherboard to integrate the entire non-memory BOM, which increases the motherboard design cost. Finally, solder-down memory requires the user to choose a memory density for the laptop’s lifespan rather than buying for today and upgrading later.

To take advantage of LPDDR5X components in a modular form factor that can be serviced during manufacturing and upgraded by the user, LPCAMM2 is introduced. LPCAMM2 is the first modular LPDDR-based memory solution for the industry. This will revolutionize platform design and user experience.

LPDDR stacks 16 DRAM components in a package and saves power. DDR5’s best case is two die per package with wire bond stacking and four die per package with through silicon-via (TSV) stacking, which require expensive stacking technology and process (and TSVs have latency penalties that affect performance). Current notebook memory architecture allows up to 32 die on the 128-bit memory bus, but LPDDR can reduce it to four today and possibly two in the future.

This allows LPCAMM2 to fill the 128-bit memory bus with four memory placements using LPDDR stacks to determine density. Laptop designers no longer need to take into account 4-chip, 8-chip, and 16-chip SODIMMs, the industry standard for laptop memory. LPCAMM2 has the same form factor and memory placements across densities. Because LPCAMM2 takes up to 64% less space than a dual-SODIMM stack1 (motherboard + socket + memory), laptops can be thin and light and have larger batteries.

Lower power, modularity, and space savings must affect performance, right? No! LPDDR is already faster than DDR5 (6400MT/s vs. 5600MT/s), and LPDDR5X is expected to follow this trend until 9600MT/s, compared to 8800MT/s for DDR5. LPDDR has a slight performance penalty due to its different latency timings, but this is negligible compared to other factors like up to 61% power reduction2 and 64% space savings. TCO-wise, LPCAMM2’s benefits outweigh the case-by-case single-digit percentage performance penalty.

Calculating TCO

How do we keep LPCAMM2 affordable if it’s the you-can-have-it-all memory solution? Same metrics—performance, power, and TCO. Platform designers must decide whether to use LPCAMM2 as a high-performance, power-optimized memory solution or scale the SODIMM form factor to the same speeds. To scale beyond 5600MT/s, DDR5 requires more non-memory BOM components in the SODIMM, which increases cost. LPCAMM2’s new form factor requires a new socket, which increases cost.

However, LPCAMM2’s single memory module fills both memory channels (128 bits total), giving it an advantage. By contrast, SODIMM will remain a 64-bit memory solution, so everything you buy for the first memory channel must be bought again for the second. More non-memory BOM in the SODIMM worsens this. LPCAMM2, even with a more expensive socket, saves money by only requiring one set of non-memory BOM to reach 9600MT/s. LPCAMM2 also adds modularity/serviceability for platforms using solder-down LPDDR5X components, saving system builders manufacturing costs.

The conclusion

We rarely see a product that solves so many design and logistics issues and provides such a positive user experience that will improve the AI PC experience.

Micron is working with platform designers and partners to launch this innovative solution that optimizes performance, power, space savings, serviceability, and modularity. LPCAMM2 is the perfect memory solution for next-generation thin and light laptops, providing an unmatched user experience.

Main factors to consider when buying a smartphone

The huge popularity of smartphones in the consumer electronics segment is beyond doubt. But first, the idea of combining the functionality of a cell phone and a personal digital assistant (PC) appeared in the early 1990s. Already in 1992, IBM introduced the first IBM Simon model. In 1994, the US mobile operator BellSouth launched it for sale. Its price reached $ 900 with a contract and more than $ 1,000 without a contract. But the high price, weight of more than 2 pounds and large sizes became the main reasons for its low popularity. In early 1996, Hewlett-Packard and Nokia launched the OmniGo HP 700LX. In fact, it has combined the HP 200LX with the Nokia 2110. Of course, the software has also been refined for effective interaction with a mobile phone. The HP OmniGo 700LX had a four-color gray LCD screen with 640 × 200 resolution.

Introduction

Of course, modern models are radically different from their prototypes. In the conditions of fierce competition, companies are constantly expanding the functionality of their models. Very popular Blackview MAX 1 Projector Mobile Phone with a projector function perfectly illustrates this trend. Of course, companies adequately respond to huge demand by offering a wide range of different models. On the one hand, such a variety pleases consumers. But sometimes this factor significantly complicates the choice of the optimal model. Analysis of basic specs will help to solve this problem. This list includes: - OS; - phone performance; - smartphone storage; - battery capacity; - camera set in multi-camera smartphones and main camera spec; - size, type, and specs of the screen; - protection level.

OS

Just 5 years ago, smartphones used up to ten different popular OSs. As a result, the operating system was one of the main criteria when choosing the optimal model. But fierce competition mercilessly eliminated most of them, leaving only a few of the most successful platforms. Of course, many smartphones still use OS with discontinued developer support. But it is unlikely that the efforts of enthusiasts will be able to extend their work for a long time. Basically, modern models use: - Android; - Apple iOS; - Windows Phone; - Symbian. But Microsoft in December 2019 stops supporting the latest Windows 10 Mobile. Additionally, the Finnish HMD Global also abandoned the Symbian platform, releasing the latest Delight 1.7 firmware for the Nokia E7, N8 and 808 PureView. The share of other operating systems, including Bada, Palm OS, Open WebOS, Maemo, etc. is insignificant. Therefore, according to many experts, in the coming years, the main competition will continue between Android and Apple iOS. But today, a wider range of apps and a lower price with the same functionality provide an advantage for Android devices. Most modern models from Samsung, HTC, Motorola and almost all Chinese companies use Android. Of course, huge versatility is one of the main reasons for its popularity. Today, most of smart gadgets, including TVs, projectors, music bars, kitchen appliances, watches, bicycles and even cars use the Android OS. Today, some smartphones already have latest Android 10: - Google Pixel 3 / Pixel 3 XL; - Google Pixel 3a / Pixel 3a XL; - Essential Phone; - Google Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL; - Google Pixel / Pixel XL; - OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro.

Phone performance

Of course, phone performance depends on the processor (or chipset, or SoC ) performance and RAM of the phone. In turn, CPU performance directly depends on its frequency, which varies in the range of 1-3 GHz. But the computing system distributes different types of tasks between several specialized processor subsystems (CPU, GPU, ISP, DSP, DPU, VPU, NPU), a cellular modem, and memory integrated into the chipset. Chipset performance also depends on the number of cores, the frequencies of which may vary. The combination of their specs directly affects the overall chipset performance. Therefore, companies are actively experimenting with the chipset configuration, trying to provide the optimal configuration with maximum performance. For example, one of the best Snapdragon 855 uses the traditional 4 + 4 layout (high-performance and energy-efficient clusters), including 4 cores with a modified Cortex A76 architecture, and 4 cores with Cortex A55. But one of the 4 cores of the A76 runs at an increased frequency (up to 2.84 GHz) and has 512 KB of cache. The remaining three use 256 KB of cache and overclock to 2.42 GHz. Economical A55 cores can reach frequencies up to 1.8 GHz. Today, some companies already use eight-core octacores. But in the future, a simple increase in the number of cores is unlikely to be effective without taking into account the balance of the distribution of specialized tasks between subsystems due to Amdahl's law and some other factors. The amount of RAM also significantly affects phone performance. Of course, the amount of RAM should correspond to the processor frequency for the correct operation of apps. Today, the AnTuTu Benchmark app provides the most objective assessment of real performance, which ranges from 300,000 to 370,000 benchmarking score for top models.

Battery capacity

Of course, battery life is one of the main specs of a smartphone. In turn, it depends on the battery capacity and operation mode. Typically, models with 2 GB RAM and a processor frequency of 2 GHz use a battery with a capacity of at least 3000 mAh. It provides about two days of work in the browser with moderate use of the game mode. Of course, “heavy” games, for example, GTA or Nova 3, drastically reduce operating time, draining the battery in about 6 hours. But even the top-end modern models rarely use batteries with a capacity of more than 4000 mAh. Some little-known companies for marketing purposes sometimes indicate a capacity of 5000 mAh or more. But more often, this information is not true. Budget models with a less powerful processor and relatively small memory often use batteries with a capacity of about 2000 mAh. Thus, modern models usually use batteries with capacities ranging from 2000 mAh to 4000 mAh. Today, the Internet abounds with comparative TOPs of various batteries.

Innovative Battery Charging Methods

The list of innovations in recharging batteries includes fast, wireless and wireless reverse charging. Today, Chinese Huawei and Oppo are leading the fast recharging segment. For example, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro with a power of 40 W charges 70% of the battery in just 30 minutes. Oppo RX17 Pro shows even more impressive results. Their 50-W SuperVOOC Flash Charge charges 40% of the battery in just 10 minutes. But after a while, the charging speed, of course, decreases. As known, most methods of fast charging usually use a two-way USB-C. Companies are also actively improving wireless charging. For example, some Android smartphones have been using it for a long time. Recently, Apple has also increased its efforts in this direction. But today Chinese Huawei is leading the way with the Wireless15-W Qi Charging for the Mate 20 Pro. Reverse wireless charging was first introduced by Huawei in the same Mate 20 Pro. It uses a mechanical touch between two smartphones, one of which supports wireless charging. Unfortunately, today this promising technology is too slow. But in 2019, several leading manufacturers presented their flagships with this innovative option.

Smartphone Storage

Functionally, Smartphone memory includes ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), internal memory, and external memory cards. By analogy with a PC, ROM corresponds to the C drive with OS on the HDD or SSD, and internal memory corresponds to the user partitions. ROM of modern smartphones have eMMC or UFS storage. Innovative UFS (Universal Flash Storage) standatd uses new operation principle that provides significantly faster read / write speeds. In particular, eMMC uses sequential organization of read / write processes (Half Duplex), while UFS implements them simultaneously (Full Duplex). The volatile RAM (Random Access Memory) does not save information after shutdown. Typically, RAM stores only temporary information, for example, operating system or open apps, that are loaded into memory at startup. Its volume directly affects multitasking and device performance. Today companies use LPDDR (mDDR or Low Power DDR) standard, including LPDDR3, 4, and 4X with maximum frequencies of 2133 MHz. But Samsung promises to introduce a faster LPDDR5 in 2020. The internal flesh memory of the phones is slower compared to RAM and ROM, but much faster than the external memory on the SD card. Therefore, many companies, including the iPhone, install a fairly capacious internal memory from 16 to 128 GB. Using a memory card has some nuances. For example, companies often offer models with support for SD cards up to 1 TB. Unfortunately, a smartphone with such an SD card is unlikely to work correctly. Too many files, for example, 100 GB or more, will slow down the OS due to the high processor load. Therefore, SD cards up to 100 GB are more optimal.

Camera

Today, the company improve the shooting quality of in two directions. First, they increase the number of different cameras, expanding shooting modes. As a result, modern multi-camera smartphones provide high image quality when shooting in almost any conditions. A list of the most popular add-on modules includes Ultra-Wide, Telefoto, Depth and ToF cameras. Today even budget models often use two cameras. Modern flagships usually have three or more modules. Moreover, Sony announced a smartphone with an unprecedented 8 cameras. Secondly, companies continue to traditionally improve the main specs of image sensors. In principle, checking the quality of any camera is quite simple. The maximum zooming of any frame fragment perfectly illustrates the real quality of the camera. High-quality cameras provide high definition even at maximum zoom. Unfortunately, such a check is not always available. In this case, specs will be helpful. In particular, pixel and matrix size, its resolution and aperture directly affect the picture quality.

Camera specs

Pixel size directly affects the amount of light captured, which is very important when shooting in low light conditions. Its gradations are: - 1.55 μm-1.40 μm - high quality even in low light; - 1.40 μm-1.22 μm - high quality in normal lighting, image noise in low light; - 1.12 μm or less - high quality only in bright conditions. But increasing the pixel size with the same resolution requires an increase in the matrix size and optics, which increases the thickness and width of the smartphone. Therefore, companies are forced to constantly seek compromise solutions. The effect of aperture on quality: - low quality - f/2.6, f/2.4; - usually used in budget models - f/2.2, f/2.0; - the optimal aperture - f/1.8, f/1.7, f/1.6. Image sensor size: - budget smartphones - 1/3"; - mid-level models - 1/2.9", 1/2.8"; - flagship smartphones - 1/2.6", 1/2.3". At a constant matrix size, increasing resolution requires a reduction in pixels size with a decrease in absorption of light by each of them. Therefore, companies are forced to choose the optimal resolution ratio and pixel size for maximum image quality. Having reached a huge resolution (64 MP in latest Sony IMX686), companies began to look for other ways to further improve the camera. As a result, Super Pixel technology using Pixel Binning was developed. In fact, this algorithm combines four small pixels into one large pixel using filters. Sony calls it Quad Bayer, Samsung uses the TetraCell term.

Screen

Of course, the model screen also belongs to the main selection criteria. As known, image quality depends on its specs, including contrast, resolution, color space coverage and color accuracy. But, of course, the screen diagonal also directly affects the image perception. Today, companies offer models with screen sizes ranging from 3.5 to 7 inches. For example, Huawei Mate 20X has the largest frameless 7.2-inch IPS screen with 2244 x 1080 resolution. Of course, the screen resolution depends on the diagonal. Modern models provide the following resolution: - up to 4 inches - 480 x 800; - 4-5 inches - 960 x 540; - 5 inches and above - 1280 x 720 (HD), 1920 x 1080 (FullHD), 2560 x 1440 (QuadHD), or 3840 x 2160 (4K Ultra HD). PPI (pixels per inch) characterizes the number of pixels in one inch of the screen and directly affects the image clarity. In fact, it mathematically relates the screen resolution to its size, providing the most complete information about the real image quality. For example, two screens may have the same number of pixeles, but different diagonal sizes. In this case, a screen with a smaller diagonal will provide a clearer image and will have a higher PPI. Typically, screens with a resolution of 1280 x 720 provide up to 300 PPI.

AMOLED vs LCD displays in phones

All modern smartphones use AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) or LCD screens. Of course, each of them includes its own set of matrix types manufactured using a specific technology. In particular, companies today use IPS, DSTN, PLS, IGZO, LTPS LCD matrices, each of which has pros and cons. Samsung leads in the development and production of AMOLED matrices. The list of its modifications includes AMOLED, Super AMOLED, HD Super AMOLED and Dynamic AMOLED. However, Apple also produces OLED Retina screens. Today AMOLED retains a slight advantage in image quality, but LCD successfully compensates for it due to price. Experts sometimes compare them in terms of eye strain. On the one hand, OLED models with higher PPI minimize eye strain. But, the relatively low brightness of OLED screens reduces the saturation of colors. Despite the reduction in eye strain, some users consider this a drawback. Unfortunately, screen flicker due to PWM in OLED screen increases eye strain. Thus, the final answer is ambiguous.

The brand

Almost every brand has some features. For example, Samsung, Lenovo, Fly, Prestigio, Asus, Philips, Sony, Lg provide excellent technical service. Sony, Xiaomi, Meizu, ZTE, and most other Chinese brands have high performance. Samsung, Sony, Apple, Lg, HTC, Lumia and some Lenovo models use high-quality cameras. Google Pixel phones have better access to Android updates. Android OS are leading in terms of usability. DEXP, Fly, Philips, Highscreen, Lenovo and Samsung have capacious batteries, providing high battery life. Sony, Samsung and Lg are leading in terms of reliability. For example, many models of other brands often fail during the first year. Models of these companies usually work 5 years or more. Typically, Xiaomi, Meizu and other Chinese brands specialize in the budget and mid-price segment. iPhone traditionally leads in the top segment. Unfortunately, the high price is sometimes due to aggressive advertising. Of course, these factors are rather arbitrary, but they can help to orient oneself when choosing a model.

Protection

Of course, this factor is quite important for any expensive device, especially considering its use outside the home in various conditions. Of course, the metal case is more reliable than plastic. In addition, the modern market offers a wide selection of different covers, but they, as a rule, reduce usability. Typically, specs contain information about the protection level in the form of "IP ...". Today “IP67” corresponds to the maximum level of protection. For example, Samsung Galaxy xCover S5690 with IP67 has high moisture resistance and dust protection, and can even withstand a car weight in certain circumstances. Some models have a special protective Gorilla Glass. It has a high degree of resistance to scratches and impacts and can easily withstand falling onto an asphalt road.

Conclusion

Of course, the price significantly affects the choice. But the choice of the optimal model also significantly depends on the features of its use. For example, games require high phone performance and a large enough screen with high PPI. Cameras in multi-camera smartphones and main camera specs are essential for high-quality shooting in any environment. A good screen is important for multimedia apps. OS, battery capacity, smartphone storage and protection level directly affect usability. This video demonstrates the Google Pixel 4 XL vs Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus. Read the full article
