The number of new technologies on the mobile device market is growing exponentially every year. One of the innovations that customers really liked in smartphones was the curved screen. This solution allows you to create a 3D effect due to the smooth flow of the display onto the side panels, and the curves are not “dead” zones at all, since they can be used in exactly the same way as the main area of ​​the screen. The rating of smartphones with a curved display, carefully selected by our editors, is not replete with an abundance of models, but each of them is worthy of the buyer’s close attention.

The best smartphones with a curved screen - flagships

Curved screen is a relatively new trend in the mobile device market. Many companies have tried to create smartphones with such a display, but not all have been able to explain to the buyer why they need it. The South Korean giant has succeeded most in this with its Galaxy S line, in which the curves of the side edges have become a signature feature. Of course, the company isn't promoting this feature just for the sake of beauty. Through the side edges, owners can get quick access to their favorite contacts and programs, as well as use other useful (and not so useful) functions.

1. Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB

If you choose an attractive phone among the flagships of past years, then the Samsung C9, if it does not become the leader, will certainly enter the TOP-3 with a minimal margin from first place. Firstly, this smartphone has the best screen in its price category. Secondly, the device pleases with excellent sound and, importantly, stereo speakers (in pairs, conversational speakers are used). And the included AKG headphones are of such good quality that you can forget about the need to buy something else. Thirdly, the smartphone’s hardware is also sufficient for any task (especially if you bought the version with the “stone” from Qualcomm). And as a bonus compared to its main competitors, the device offers IP68 protection.

Advantages:

• face and iris unlocking;
• fast fingerprint sensor;
• housing protection according to IP68 standard;
• there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack;
• excellent delivery set;
• productivity reserve;
• video recording at 960 fps.

Flaws:

• the battery could be more capacious;
• Bixby button and its location.

2. Samsung Galaxy S8

Do you want to buy a smartphone with a curved screen at an affordable price? Choose Galaxy S8. This model is in many ways similar to the device discussed above. Despite the weaker hardware platform, the device copes well with any task. The cameras in the S8 are also simpler, but they are quite capable of competing with some current flagships. And the quality of the 5.8-inch AMOLED screen with QHD+ resolution also does not raise any questions.

The Galaxy S8 was the first phone in the line to feature a scanner on the back. And, we must admit, the manufacturer chose not the best place to place it (on the side of the main 12-megapixel camera). Before purchasing this device, we advise you to hold it in your hands and evaluate the convenience of this solution.

The battery capacity of the Galaxy S8 is 3000 mAh. This is enough for a full day of work with a mixed load and almost three days of work in listening to music mode. The phone's equipment is similar to the older model, including good headphones from AKG. But the sound in the speakers is mono, not stereo. Perhaps this is one of the few nuances that you immediately pay attention to after using a smartphone.

Advantages:

• high-quality assembly;
• screen size and resolution;
• good system optimization;
• sound quality in headphones;
• complete “ears” from AKG;
• sufficient performance;
• great price for its capabilities.

Flaws:

• location of the fingerprint scanner;
• mono sound from speakers.

3. Samsung Galaxy S10+ 8/128GB

The TOP continues to be the best smartphone according to user reviews among all the devices presented in the review. Galaxy S10+ is equipped with a triple main and dual front cameras. In terms of image quality, this is the best phone available at the end of March 2019. The same statement is true for the 6.4-inch screen with a resolution of 3040x1440 pixels.

An interesting feature of the new Samsung flagships is reverse wireless charging. It may be needed when you need to charge headphones, smart watches or other accessories, but you don’t have a charger at hand.

The performance of the smartphone is also impressive. Thanks to a combination of the most powerful Snapdragon 855, Adreno 640 and 8 GB RAM, the phone not only copes with any tasks, but also provides power reserves for many years. However, please note that the version with Exynos 9820 CPU and Mali-G76 graphics is officially imported to Russia. In general, their capabilities are comparable, and in some tasks the Korean proprietary “stone” even outperforms solutions from Qualcomm.

Advantages:

• best screen among smartphones according to DisplayMate;
• the most advanced selfie camera in the DxOMark rating;
• 4100 mAh battery;
• great functionality;
• excellent main camera, not inferior to the Mate 20 Pro;
• impressive performance hardware platform;
• excellent design and premium case materials;
• fast ultrasonic fingerprint scanner under the screen.

Flaws:

• the price is a little high.

4. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 128GB

If you need a large screen, but without a cutout for the front camera, then the Galaxy Note 9 is a good option. It is equipped with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display (18.5:9) with a resolution of 2960 × 1440 pixels, a dual main camera capable of take great pictures, as well as 6 and 128 gigabytes of RAM and permanent memory, respectively. In terms of performance, there are also no complaints about the smartphone: an excellent smartphone with a curved display from Samsung has a powerful Exynos 9810 processor and a Mali GPU (or Snapdragon 845 + Adreno 630).

The Koreans traditionally pleased us with excellent equipment. In addition to the smartphone, charger and USB-C cable, the phone comes with a pair of adapters for USB-A and Micro USB, replacement tips for the stylus and cool headphones from AKG.

However, today it will not be possible to surprise modern buyers with an excellent camera, powerful hardware, or a large display with a high pixel density. But the S Pen still looks like a rather unusual and pleasant addition to the smartphone. In Note 9 it has changed slightly compared to the previous generation. The new stylus can be used as a remote control for some applications. Remote switching of tracks, flipping through slides, taking pictures with the main and front cameras and other functions can now be linked to a single button.

Advantages:

• great design;
• excellent build quality;
• one of the best screens on the market;
• good pictures with the main camera;
• productive hardware platform;
• functionality of the S Pen stylus;
• DeX mode replaces the basic PC experience.

Flaws:

• Bixby button.

5. Samsung Galaxy S8+

The last section of the review opens with a smartphone with a bright screen – a new product from Samsung. Now the flagships of the Galaxy series do not have the “Edge” prefix: they have a curved screen as a standard option. Positioned as a frameless smartphone, it is better to buy for those who love space: the display diagonal of the new South Korean phablet has reached 6.2 inches, which is quite respectable even for the Galaxy Note line. The body of the device is, of course, made of reliable, strong, but thin metal, but it fits very well in the hand, does not slip out and practically does not get dirty. It is curious that Samsung engineers decided to switch from the line of their own Exynos chips to Qualcomm Snapdragon (in this case, the latest 8-core 835 MSM 8998), which solved the eternal problem of heating the device. And, of course, the decoration of the smartphone is the iris scanner, which is slowly but very successfully replacing the fingerprint scanner (which, by the way, is also available).

Advantages:

• wireless and fast charging functions;
• gorgeous optics: 12 megapixels with F/1.7 aperture and optical stabilization and 8 megapixels;
• unique resolution of the AMOLED screen – 2960x1440;
• design that is qualitatively different from previous models.

Flaws:

• not detected.

6. Samsung Galaxy S10 8/128GB

If you do not need a dual front camera, we recommend choosing the Galaxy S10 without a plus in the name. This smartphone is about 10 thousand cheaper than the older version, but is similar to it in almost everything. Among the significant differences, we can highlight only a screen reduced to 6.1 inches (while maintaining the same resolution) and a 3400 mAh battery instead of 4100. But the hardware, main camera and other equipment are no different here, so in the ranking of the best smartphones with We consider the curved screen of the Galaxy S10 to be the leader.

Advantages:

• excellent screen with support for HDR10+ with virtually no borders;
• excellent sound quality;
• excellent equipment of the device;
• high productivity without boundaries;
• Supports fast and wireless charging.

Flaws:

• With active use, the battery drains quickly.

The best smartphones with a curved screen under 30,000 rubles

Classic high-quality smartphones with a large curved screen are, of course, Samsung. For the Galaxy S6 and S7 models, the South Koreans offered a special Edge line, the main feature of which was specific displays. It is worth noting that customers liked this innovation, especially since the parameters of the phones were in some ways even better than standard models. The unusual 3D effect and the edges of the screens “sliding” onto the side panels have become a real hit.

1. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

The first smartphone from the Edge line seemed quite specific, so quite a lot of people wanted to buy the flagship. The device boasted an AMOLED screen in Quad HD format, which is phenomenal quality for a 5.1-inch diagonal. The optics of the device also pleased me: a 16 megapixel camera with optical stabilization and face recognition made it possible to take gorgeous shots in any conditions. The price-quality ratio of the smartphone is excellent: for such a “candy” you will have to pay less than 30,000 rubles. The only drawbacks worth highlighting are the outdated version of the OS and the inability to expand the memory with an SD card.

Advantages:

• proprietary 8-core Exynos 7420 chip;
• 3 GB RAM and 32 GB ROM;
• wireless charger;
• gorgeous camera;
• stylish design;
• tempered 2.5D glass.

Flaws:

• lack of microSD slot;
• Gets very hot when running heavy applications.

2. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

The updated version of the S7 Edge smartphone has better build quality, a more stylish design and an increased diagonal to 5.5 inches. A more powerful 8-core processor from the Exynos series appeared, providing excellent performance, and the RAM increased to 4 GB, expanding multitasking capabilities. The magnificent 12 MP camera with Dual Pixel technology and F/1.7 aperture has become a real professional camera. In addition, feedback from smartphone users was heard, and instead of the classic connector for the second SIM card, a universal one was created, allowing you to install either a SIM card or microSD. Contrary to the opinion of some buyers, the metal back panel can hardly be called slippery: the phone is held quite firmly in the hand. In the price range up to 30,000 rubles, this is undeniably the best phone with a curved screen.

Advantages:

• VoLTE band support for both SIM cards;
• wireless charger;
• a large number of different sensors;
• A2DP profile support;
• additional IP68 protection;
• practical Always-On-Display option.

Flaws:

• highly energy-consuming screen;
• decent heating is possible under load.

Which smartphone with a curved display should I buy?

Just a couple of years ago, there was simply nothing to choose from for a smartphone with a curved display. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge was something completely new, which is why, despite some shortcomings, it became a real hit. Over time, the mistakes made during the creation of the South Korean flagship were corrected, the technology gradually spread to other manufacturers, and due to this, today the buyer has a relatively competitive market for smartphones with such an unusual option. You can find a phone with curved glass in both the budget and flagship segments, and there are excellent choices in both areas. Good luck with your choice!

The battle between LCD and OLED displays continues. At the same time, it is still unclear how soon OLED technology will be able to completely take the place of LCD, because the future in any case belongs to flexible smartphones, where the use of LCD panels is unacceptable. Currently, LCD displays in general still perform better than OLED. One of the reasons is pixel burn-in, which every owner of a smartphone with an OLED display faces. Let's determine what it is and how to deal with it.

What is display burn-in? It appears over time and is noticeable if you open the white background on your smartphone and examine the places where the navigation buttons and status bar are usually located. Typically, these areas appear lighter than the rest of the display area.

Why do OLED displays burn out? It's all about technology. The subpixels (diodes) of OLED displays (blue, red, green) have different lifespans. If you go deeper, the core of the problem lies in the blue subpixel, the brightness of which is significantly lower than the brightness of the red and green subpixels. Therefore, in order to maintain balance, it is necessary to increase the current supply to the blue diodes, this, in turn, leads to a decrease in their service life. Therefore, over time, the color rendition of the display will fade into green and red tones due to the gradual weakening of the blue diodes - this process is called burn-in.

OLED displays fade over time in areas where blue or white color is often used, and in areas where black color is used, on the contrary, subpixels retain their properties. An example is the navigation buttons, which are located on a black background, so this area of ​​the display does not lose its quality over time, unlike the rest of the screen area.

To avoid display burn-in, manufacturers use various methods. One of them is a periodic shift of the image by several pixels. This is necessary to ensure that the display burns out evenly (it will burn out in any case). The main thing is that during use there are no elements on the display that remain in one place for a long time. It could be an icon, an inscription - anything. Try to change the arrangement of icons sometimes, change your desktop wallpaper often. It is advisable to use dark wallpaper so that the display burns out more slowly.

To combat burnout, it uses PenTile technology, where the blue diodes are larger in size, which makes it possible to supply less current to them, and accordingly, the service life of the blue diodes will be longer.

Try not to use the maximum brightness of the display: the lower the brightness, the less current needs to be supplied to the diodes. Try not to leave your smartphone's OLED display on unless necessary. Use keyboards with dark themes, try to change the keyboard themes sometimes, if your smartphone supports themes, change them periodically. Try to use night mode in applications, this will reduce display burn-in.

Based on androidauthority

The announcement of Xiaomi Mi Note 2 was highly anticipated for two reasons: first of all, this is the first smartphone from this Chinese company that is equipped with a display curved on the sides; In addition, the model is a direct competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, which, as you know, dropped out of the race due to problems with self-igniting batteries. So Xiaomi’s brainchild has every chance to occupy the market niche that was prepared for the Note 7.

However, we will be able to judge the success of the new product only after the start of its sales, but for now we will tell you about its technical characteristics, which were known in advance thanks to numerous leaks, but are now confirmed by the manufacturer itself. We should start, of course, with the Mi Note 2 display, because Xiaomi is using a curved AMOLED matrix for the first time in its devices. In this case, the screen has a diagonal of 5.7 inches and has a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. At the same time, it occupies 77.2% of the front surface of the device, thanks to which, according to the developers, the smartphone is comparable in size to 5.5” gadgets.

The hardware basis of the phablet is a single-chip Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 system with four Kryo cores with a maximum frequency of 2.35 GHz, an Adreno 530 graphics accelerator and an X12 LTE modem with data transfer rates of up to 600 Mbps. The amount of LPDDR4 RAM is 4 or 6 GB, and the built-in UFS 2.0 flash memory holds 64 or 128 GB, depending on the modification and, accordingly, the cost.

The main camera of Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is built on a 22.5-megapixel Sony IMX318 sensor and has the full range of functions typical for solutions of this level, but it does not have an optical stabilization system. Instead, an electronic image stabilizer is used, the operation of which is ensured by a 3-axis accelerometer when shooting both photos and videos. Video, by the way, can be recorded in 4K resolution, which has already become the standard for flagship smartphones.

Other characteristics of the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 include a sound subsystem with support for 24-bit / 192 kHz formats, a 4070 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging mode, an 8-megapixel front camera, support for the Mi Pay payment system and the Android 6.0 operating system Marshmallow with MIUI 8 proprietary shell.

The body of Xiaomi Mi Note 2 is made of aluminum, its back panel copies the front panel in the shape of its curves. There are two color options - black (Piano Black) and silver (Glacier Silver). In China, the new product will go on sale at a price of $415 for the version with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of flash memory or $485 for the 6/128 GB configuration.

Phones with AMOLED

Phones with AMOLED screens are no longer unusual.

Many manufacturers install such a screen even in quite budget models.

So let's figure out which phone with AMOLED is better.

Google Pixel is the best choice

Plus, it guarantees you a quick update to the latest Android version within two years.

We should also mention the display: FHD 5″ Super Amoled (5.5″ Quad-HD based on XL GPU). The characteristics are impressive.

There are actually two Google Pixels: the regular one with a 5-inch screen and the Pixel XL with a 5.5-inch screen.

Apart from size, screen resolution and battery capacity, both smartphones are identical.

Both versions offer more than a day of battery life with heavy use, although the Pixel XL will last longer.

They have a 12-megapixel camera. It's even better than the Galaxy S7.

The rear fingerprint sensor is one of the fastest and most accurate available on the market. At the same time, the build quality is excellent.

On the other hand, the smartphone does not have an IP68 rating like the Galaxy S7 and does not have a slot for .

Pixel works with all carriers. The quality of the Super Amoled display is simply amazing. Bright, rich colors, rich palette. The GPU copes well with the tasks assigned.

Stylish and waterproof Samsung Galaxy S7

The best among all screens is installed. It's superior to any smartphone out there right now, plus water resistance and a microSD card slot.

Previously, Samsung Galaxy S7 was considered the best smartphone. It's definitely worth buying if you need a waterproof phone or a microSD card slot.

The 12-megapixel main camera takes fantastic photos that look almost as good as those taken on the Pixel and better than any other phone.

The S7 has a metal and glass body, which makes it more attractive than most other Android phones. Plus there is a microSD card slot and a long-lasting battery.

Samsung's software has improved, but many still don't like some of the redundancy and bugs that suggest the manufacturer still has some work to do.

Samsung recently announced its successor, the Galaxy S8. What will happen this time for the South Korean giant, only time will tell.

OnePlus 3T - premium hardware for less money

Fast processor and more memory than most flagship phones.

Also protected by a durable aluminum housing. The unit has a good camera, which corresponds to a smartphone in this price segment.

Optical stabilization will please fans of “quick shots”, and the fingerprint sensor responds quickly and accurately.

The Oneplus 3T turned out to be faster in performance tests than the Galaxy S7, despite costing hundreds less.

Its main weakness is its 5.5-inch 1080p Amoled screen. The display is not very bright and has a strange color calibration.

The 3T is almost identical to the Oneplus 3, which came out six months ago. It only has a more powerful battery and better resolution of the front camera. But the cost also increased by $40

This is still the best phone you can choose in the sub-$450 price range.

Huawei Mate 9 is a phablet with amazing battery life

It's a big, great phone, but users are put off by the relatively low screen resolution and a few software flaws.

Compared to the Pixel XL, it has a much larger screen and much better battery life. In addition, the smartphone is about $200 cheaper than the Pixel XL or Galaxy S7 Edge.

Its Amoled screen runs at a lower resolution, and its cameras and software are a bit underdeveloped.

Thanks to its 4000 mAh battery, the phablet lasted longer in tests than other high-end representatives.

The manufacturer claims that they were able to get three days of use from a single charge with intensive use.

The 5.9-inch Amoled display can operate at a resolution of 2560x1440.

It is worth understanding that high-resolution screens consume more energy, which means that at maximum settings it will not be possible to achieve such a service life without recharging.

The octa-core Kirin 960 processor is powerful and efficient, and the device comes with 4GB of RAM.

The all aluminum body looks beautiful. It has a very narrow bezel, a design that allowed Huawei to fit a 5.9-inch LCD display.

The device was pleasantly surprised by the fast and accurate sensor installed on the back cover. The 12-megapixel standard sensor is paired with a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor.

Photos are sharper and capture time is faster.

Of course, the image quality isn't quite up to par with flagship models, but it's better than what you can get from most other phones.

LG V20 - flagship with removable battery

The smartphone comes in a durable aluminum case with a removable battery and a cool wide-angle camera.

LG V20 is one of the latest flagship smartphones with a removable battery.

In this phone, LG embodied everything that users liked about the G5 (remember, this version appeared on the market at the beginning of 2016). They modified the predecessor, removing all unnecessary things.

This means that build quality has improved significantly and inexpensive modular accessories have appeared.

But it's even harder and less comfortable to hold than the Pixel GS7. Under the back cover there is a 3,200 mAh battery.

There's also a fast fingerprint scanner and a dual-lens camera.

The module consists of a standard 16-megapixel camera that takes good photos, and an 8-megapixel wide-angle action camera that can take panoramic shots.

This functionality is not present in any flagship gadget. But the quality of the pictures could be better

It's great that the smartphone comes with Android 7.0 Nougat pre-installed. If you can live without a removable battery, then this is definitely worth a look.

HTC 10 - excellent build quality

It has stereo speakers and one of the best fingerprint sensors we've ever tested.

HTC 10 was an attractive alternative to Samsung until recently. It has an all aluminum design (no glass!).

The fastest software due to the fact that the manufacturer has cut out the entire body kit.

It also has stereo speakers and one of the best fingerprint sensors you can get.

It's a really good phone, but its 5.2-inch LCD screen and 12-megapixel camera are a bit disappointing. Another major downside is that the HTC 10 is not waterproof.

Sony Xperia X series

The problem with Sony phones is that they were once too good. offers mid-range hardware including a Snapdragon 650 processor and a 5-inch 1080p screen.

Yes, it's still Amoled, oh not its best version, labeled "Super".

The 23-megapixel camera is terrible, despite supposedly having a huge number of pixels. Among budget solutions, this is one of the biggest disappointments.

This phone is not even water resistant like the latest Sony phones.

The screen is still 5 inches, the cameras are still poor, and it costs $700.

This model is not expected to replace any of our favorites.

Motorola Moto Z

The Moto Z features a nice 5.5-inch AMOLED display and an almost incredibly thin (5.2mm) body. We were a little short on battery capacity.

Also, the smartphone does not have a headphone jack. The user has to use a USB-C adapter to connect traditional wired headphones. Moto offers a line of modular accessories called "mods," but they're all too expensive ($80 for a speaker and $300 for a projector).

The design of the device is arranged taking into account the compromises that are necessary for the full functioning of the gadget.

Moto Z Force is an improved version of this smartphone, but it is even more expensive.

So the consumer should think about whether he is ready to overpay, constantly purchasing new accessories.

After all, at the moment there are devices on the market that already have “everything included”.

Lenovo Phab 2 Pro

It is the first branded smartphone of an American-Chinese computer company.

And this is the first actually working instance on the Google Tango augmented reality platform.

The flagship uses positional sensors and cameras to add virtual objects to the real world. You can, for example, put a 3D dinosaur model in your living room.

This device is fun to play on, but while it's still just a novelty, none of the apps or games look compelling enough.

It has an average-performing and sluggish fingerprint sensor.

In addition, the unrealistically huge 6.4-inch screen practically brings the device closer to the category of small tablets.

Before purchasing it, it is highly recommended to test the gadget in a store.

Not everyone will be comfortable using it, especially if you prefer more sophisticated items.

conclusions

When it comes time to buy a new phone, we recommend starting by determining the price range within which you can choose.

If you can't afford the top models on our list, why not save money by getting everything that the lower-end models can do?

These inexpensive phones often have some combination of subpar specs, not-so-good build quality, a not-so-innovative interface, and an operating system version that won't be updated.

Most likely, in practice, with daily use, you will not feel the difference.

Still, our choice: Google Pixel and Pixel XL.
