The battery is also quite large, with a capacity of 4100 mAh, which should be enough for a day or two, depending on how you use the phone. When it's time to charge, Samsung offers fast wired and wireless charging.
What's more impressive about the S10 + is its main camera. It has three sensors:
- 12-megapixel main sensor;
- 12 megapixel telephoto lens;

Not only do the photos look great, but the availability of cameras with different focal lengths allows you to capture many interesting moments that are not available for devices with "weak" cameras.

Some specs, such as the 3,300mAh battery and Snapdragon 845 processor, look pale in comparison to the Galaxy S10 +, but if you're not ready to pay more than $ 100 for a cell phone, check out the LG V40 ThinQ.

The Oppo RX17 Pro is powered by the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 chipset, which should be sufficient for all your daily needs, including new games at medium settings and "heavy" applications.
In addition to the large screen size, the RX17 Pro is proud of the rear camera, which consists of:
- 12 MP main sensor with f / 1.5-f / 2.4 Smart Aperture lens that automatically adjusts to low light levels. The main camera also supports optical image stabilization (OIS).

Another attractive practical feature of the RX17 is its incredibly fast charging.

This phone also has an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a normal-vibration-mute toggle lever and an excellent rear camera.

The A12 Bionic does not offer a huge leap over the A11, with benchmarks showing the difference in performance between the two chips being around 15 percent in favor of the A12.
Finally, the Neural Engine chip has been bumped up from two to eight cores, allowing it to handle 5 trillion operations per second. The benefits of this approach include the ability to process photos faster, which in turn means you can use features like Smart HDR.
Plus, the Xs Max is the largest iPhone to date.

- weight 180 g, WxHxT 73x167x8.30 mm
The novelty of 2019 in the ranking of large smartphones does not fall into the top class, but this does not prevent it from having something that more expensive models cannot boast of.Namely, the aspect ratio is 21: 9.
This tells us that Sony has opted for a screen that is ideal for watching videos, TV shows or streaming. In addition, the Xperia 10 Plus Dual can operate in split screen mode.
It would seem that due to the large size of this model, it is impossible to use it with one hand. However, Sony took this shortcoming into account and came up with a solution called Side sense. It allows you to "shrink" the screen to half the size. To access it, double-click on the tiny, almost invisible bar halfway down the right edge of the screen.
pros: excellent value for money, expandable memory capacity.
Minuses: Photos taken with the main camera are not impressive in quality and it is probably wise to avoid shooting in dark environments.

The huge bezel-less display (screen-to-body ratio is about 91%, according to Vivo) is very contrasty, bright and clear. In addition, a fingerprint sensor is built into it.

The "little brother" in the trio boasts a low price compared to the first two places in the rating, and at the same time has modern filling, including:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor and Adreno 509 graphics chip. Graphics performance has improved over Mi Max 2. Previously, it reached 22 fps in the GFXBench T-Rex, and the new generation Mi Max can handle 34 fps. This is a playable frame rate if you don't feel like putting too much pressure on your phone.
- 4 to 6 GB of RAM.
- A good rear camera that can shoot in 4K. You can change a few manual settings in the camera app, but it's better to let the AI camera pre-select the best scene for you. You can also set HDR to auto or turn it on or off.
- The updated 8MP selfie camera can also be used to unlock the phone by recognizing the owner's face.
The huge Full-HD + 18.9 aspect ratio screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. It is incredibly bright (440 cd / m2) for easy viewing in the sun.
pros: loud and clear sound, long working time (up to 3 days of moderately active use), fast charging, comfortable shell.
Minuses: no NFC, low vibration (in noisy rooms, you can skip a call), so that you can unlock your smartphone in your face, you have to set the Singapore or Hong Kong region in the settings.

With Honor's native Chinese market traditionally demanding huge screens, the company has responded to that demand with the Note 10, an OLED smartphone with amazing performance and good battery life.
The Honor Note 10 has the Kirin 970, the same chip found inside the Huawei P20 Pro. While not as fast compared to the A12 Bionic, Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 and even Huawei's own Kirin 980 processor, it can handle all modern games and applications.
The dual rear camera features bokeh, 2x zoom and monochrome mode. The cameras are very good, but not perfect, in part due to oversaturation of colors.
pros: battery lasts 1-2 days, fast charging, HDR10 content supported.
Minuses: no headphone jack, no wireless charging, difficult to find in Russia, you will have to buy on eBay, Aliexpress or other well-known Internet sites.

The Mate 20 X's screen has excellent color fidelity and viewing angles, and the lower resolution (1080p FHD + versus 1440p 2K in the Mate 20 Pro) combined with a huge 5000mAh battery extends battery life.
The phone is compatible with the Mate 20 X M-Pen, which is similar in functionality to the S-Pen on Galaxy Note phones. If you buy it, you can use it to navigate the interface or take handwritten notes in the Memo app.
Fun Fact: The Mate 20 X is one of three phones certified to run Fortnite at 60fps alongside the Honor View 20 and the US variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
