Premium smartphones don’t have to be expensive

The first mentioned manufacturer started selling its new flagship Xiaomi Mi 11 in the Czech Republic last week, which boasts the title of the most powerful mobile phone in the world. At the same time, the prices are halved compared to the current top models of the competition.

The new flagship in the 8 + 128 GB memory version is offered in domestic stores for the price of CZK 19,999, while the 8 + 256 GB variant has a price tag of CZK 21,499. In all variants, the phone is powered by a top chipset with a Snapdragon 888, thanks to which the performance is so high.

Waterproof construction or top performance, these are not the privileges of only the most expensive mobile phones.

The Xiaomi Mi 11 offers a large 6.8-inch display that occupies virtually the entire front of the device. The touchpad is only disturbed by the front camera shot in the upper left corner. By the way, the Super AMOLED screen is one of the best on the market, offering a resolution of 2K + (3200 x 1440 pixels), a 120Hz refresh rate and a high brightness of 1500 nits.

There are a total of four cameras at the back: the main one with a resolution of 108 Mpx, a wide-angle camera (13 MPx), a 5MPx macro lens and a 2MPx depth-of-field sensor. The device, which is powered by the Android operating system, has a battery with a capacity of 4600 mAh.

It’s even cheaper

Samsung showed three new phones in the popular A series last week. These devices boast a very good price / performance ratio, while offering some features that are typical of premium models – such as a waterproof construction or four cameras on the back.

The cheapest is the Galaxy A52 in the 6 + 128 GB variant, which is available in black, white, blue and purple for CZK 8,999. This phone is also for sale in the 8 + 256 GB variant in black and blue for CZK 10,799.

The Galaxy A52 5G model is sold with 6 + 128 GB memory and is available in black, blue, white and purple, with a price of CZK 10,999. The most expensive and at the same time the biggest of the novelties is the Galaxy A72. It is offered in a 6 + 128 GB configuration and in black, white, blue or purple at a price of CZK 11,999.

The Galaxy A52 5G has a display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, the Galaxy A52 and A72 have 90 Hz.

What cameras can do

The Galaxy A52 and the Galaxy A52 5G, respectively, will offer four cameras on the back. Specifically, there is a 64MPx main camera with an aperture of f1.8, an ultra-wide 12MPx camera (f2.2), a macro with a resolution of 5 MPx (f2.4) and a depth of field module (5 MPx, f2.4).

One of the advantages of the new models is the optical stabilizer, which significantly simplifies photography and shooting in low light. Of course, the benefits will also come during the day, the shots will not be unnecessarily out of focus.

The Galaxy A72 has virtually the same set of cameras as the Galaxy A52, but instead of a module for measuring the depth of field, a telephoto lens with an resolution of 8 MPx is available. It offers 3x optical zoom or 30x digital zoom. The Galaxy A52 then offers only a 10x digital zoom.
