Smartphones have slowly but steadily increased their share of total mobile device sales, until recently their production surpassed that of "regular" cell phones. Today, the user is no longer able to make and receive calls anywhere in the world - he wants not for a second to break away from the endless possibilities of the Internet, to turn his mobile device into a real entertainment center that can fill every minute of life into a holiday. Of course, an ordinary mobile phone is not capable of satisfying the listed needs in an adequate measure, therefore, mass demand began to gradually re-target smartphones - 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. Best smartphones combined the capabilities of a large number of devices and devices, uniting them in one compact case. A full-fledged camera, navigator, laptop, distance meter and even a metal detector or a 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 dimensions, the presence of a touch screen, advanced functionality and support for multitasking, a large amount of RAM and internal memory. But one of the main things that determines how a smartphone differs from a phone is the mobile operating system. Their very appearance and the subsequent division of the market between 2-3 leaders allowed developers to start mass production of useful applications for android, making our life even brighter, even easier, even more interesting. And the technical characteristics of representatives of a new class of devices have freed the hands of programmers - never before has technology allowed to create applications for mobile gadgets with the same functionality and graphics as for stationary PCs. Mobile operating systems allow you to make optimal use of all system capabilities, which is an inexhaustible source for implementing the ideas of programmers and technical specialists.
In principle, there has never been an open confrontation between phones and smartphones: smartphones initially appeared as premium devices and exerted significant pressure only on the most expensive models of "mobile phones" ... Today, the smartphone market is as structured into segments as the mobile phone market once was; despite persisting stereotypes, there are also 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 managed to come out on the third place in terms of sales of smartphones in Russia.
What is the secret of this manufacturer's success? 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 today by world leaders. Fly, in turn, offers a wide range of devices for every taste and wallet, 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 smartphones of economy class are in the price segment where they have to compete with conventional 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 design, performance, functionality and quality of a mobile device.
The Russian consumer, who already perfectly understands how a smartphone differs from a phone, has chosen his favorite in the middle segment - Fly Magic. An excellent device for work and entertainment, it will impress you with the possibilities of working with office documents of all formats, calendar and organizer settings, fast Internet search and GPS support, and it is so convenient to watch photos or videos on the big screen, play modern toys or just read your favorite books ... The Fly Magic (IQ446) smartphone, which costs about 9,000 rubles, has a really decent technical filling: 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 Fly products - support for 2 SIM cards in standby mode. This bestseller has no competitors even in an extended price range, and user reviews speak of good build quality and components (the percentage of technical failures is minimal).
Fly does not refuse, however, from customers who are more conservative and want to buy a regular cell phone, but with enhanced 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 viewing the information you are looking for on a large 3.5 ”screen is many times more convenient than on a standard display of a classic phone. The MP3-player, radio, the ability to read e-books in different formats, 2 SIM-cards, 1.3 MPix camera and convenient touch control, which are present in the phone, distinguish it from the general row. For that kind of money, stores usually present classic push-button phones, sliders and clamshells, and here you get a device that differs from a smartphone only in the absence of a mobile operating system. Analysts unanimously call Fly E157 the most worthy option in the budget segment.
Whatever you choose, regular cell phones or smartphones, the 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. Likewise, copies - it is better to buy a device that copies the technical stuffing of premium smartphones than it is not clear where the smartphones produced with a design similar to expensive devices are produced.
