The new terminals, including phablets, have undergone rapid evolution in recent years. Manufacturers constantly try to improve their devices for two purposes: Try to solve the problems existing in previous models and, on the other hand, offer the best product to consumers to achieve leadership over the rest of the brands and the loyalty of millions of users .
In these circumstances we see how technology companies around the world embark on a race full of obstacles and whose advances we have already seen throughout 2015 with the leap in resolution that many of the affordable devices on the market have experienced, going from 13 to 20 Mpx. However, this is not the only feature to consider. Other aspects such as autonomy, memory or speed in the performance of the applications are key. A few days ago we were talking about which were the largest terminals that are currently marketed, but size is not everything. Here we present the devices of Midrange with best processors.
Made in China: Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 and 3
These two models do not have many differences important to each other, we highlight the size of the battery de 3.060 mAh on the 2nd and from 4.000 mAh in the most current terminal and that in both cases guarantees more than one day of autonomy. In the case of the Note 3, the fast charge According to its manufacturers, it allows 50% of the battery to be filled in one hour. The fingerprint reader that incorporates this last phablet is another of its strengths. Regarding processors, Xiaomi has put Qualcomm aside and opted for Mediatek to provide these two models with excellent speed with their components Helio X10 8-core y 2,2 Ghz.
Vibe Z, Lenovo is still going strong
The main limitation of this model of the Asian giant firm is its antiquity since it has been on the market since Summer 2014 and in most features such as the operating system, it has been overtaken by the new generation phablets that emerged during this year. However, this does not overshadow the fact that today it can continue to compete against the most current in terms of speed as the Vibe Z is equipped with a processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 that reaches a frequency of 2,3 Ghz. This performance is improved with a Adreno GPU 330 that alleviates part of the load that the main component must bear when executing applications, and above all, games.
Asus Zenfone 2: Low price with high-end features
The main characteristics that we must highlight of the Taiwanese company's model are its RAM, which can reach 4 GB and the ultra-fast charging technology that achieves 60% of the total autonomy of this phablet with only 40 minutes of connection to the electrical current. As for his processor, we highlight the presence of Intel, what contributes to Zenfone 2 a speed de 2,33 GHz. However, it is a terminal of contrasts that has some shortcomings in terms of its resolution, which despite being Full HD, is not up to some of its rivals.
LG: Reigning in the mid-range
Finally, we highlight the G3, the star model of South Korean technology in 2014 and that it has Two versions whose main difference is the RAM, being able to choose between a phablet of 2 GB and another of 3 and storage capacity. This device, like Lenovo's Vibe Z, has lagged behind the models that have appeared during 2015. A sign of its distance from its competitors is its frontal camera, of only 2,1 Mpx despite the 13 that it presents in the rear sensor and that is far from the 5 or even the 13 that we currently find in most of the average phablets. its processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and 4 nuclei, is currently the highest among the mid-range phablets, reaching the 2,5 GHz speed. A excellent performance which means that both Android, in version 4.4 and the applications, work perfectly. However, the processor must also support a screen resolution of 2560 × 1440 pixels on a 5,5-inch screen, which however also brings higher battery consumption.
As we have seen, the speed it has become one of the best-developed factors by most manufacturers. Despite the fact that some models have appeared in this list that, in other features, such as the operating system, are outdated compared to the newer terminals, we have verified how all the firms we have mentioned have tried to create phablets balanced in terms of performance with which they seek to offer the user the best experience when using their devices.
Another of the most surprising aspects of these terminals is the price of all of them, which brings with it more than acceptable characteristics in terms of image, memory and storage and, as we have seen, also in terms of their performance and all this for under 300 euros in portals like Amazon, which shows that in many cases, it is not necessary to shell out large amounts of money to enjoy excellent models. We can also take into account that all these terminals come from Asian companies, which may reflect the strategies of these firms based on offering good models at an affordable cost.
After knowing which are some of the fastest terminals that currently exist, do you think that speed is one of the keys for a device to be successful or that, however, it is necessary to balance more their benefits and that good performance is not useful if other specifications are neglected? You have more information available about other phablets such as the largest that are currently marketed so that you can comment on which would be your perfect terminal.
