The smartphone market offers many successful spin-offs. Together with Ferra.ru editor-in-chief Evgeny Kharitonov, Rossiyskaya Gazeta has identified the eight most interesting options.
Honor 400 Pro, realme GT7 and OnePlus 13R are a versatile trio. They are all very fast, have long battery life and take good photos. Honor is slightly better in camera zoom, realme wins in autonomy and flat screen, and OnePlus is slightly better in games and music. There are no significant disadvantages.

They are also very tough. 6000 mAh each for OnePlus and Honor and up to 7000 mAh (with almost the same thickness of the case) for realme. It's not even a matter of mAh – there are cheaper smartphones with 7000 and even 8000 mAh, and they're not very thick. But they have slow processors, reducing the joy of long battery life to zero or mediocre cameras. And here we have evenly developed smartphones Evgeniy Kharitonov Editor-in-Chief of Ferra.ru
Vivo X200 FE and Vivo X300 are the best compact smartphones. The X200 FE is for those who want a small, fast phone with good battery at a reasonable price. The X300 is significantly more expensive, but offers a near-flagship camera without the heating and battery life issues.

58-60 thousand rubles. – not cheap for a “Chinese” product, but the camera here in terms of photography produces a higher level than the iPhone 17 Pro (although not commensurate with the quality of video recording). Evgeniy Kharitonov Editor-in-Chief of Ferra.ru
Huawei Pura 80 is the best choice for mobile photography lovers. For the money, it offers cameras that are significantly superior to the competition. But in terms of speed and gameplay, this is not the strongest option.

The Xiaomi 15T Pro is a powerful and well-equipped smartphone with a great display, loud sound and one of the best video capabilities in its class. It's not perfect, but it's still one of the most balanced flagships.

The bland, faceless look of last year's 14T Pro has been enhanced with new touches – now the smartphone is all-metal but still in the spirit of minimalism. Very fast, with an excellent camera, great loud “pumping” speakers, cool screen, fast charging, moisture resistance and all the options of a premium device.

iPhone 17 is the best “basic” iPhone in years. It has a 120 Hz display, excellent camera, good battery life, and great performance. For iOS fans, this is one of the best options available today.
