A reliable smartphone brand at a low price. Rating of the most reliable phones

One day I felt that someone was wrong on the internet. In fact, this often happens to me, but the conversation is not about that. The conversation was about which smartphones are more reliable than others.

It turned out that the most recent study dates back to the 1st year, followed by the 1st. And these studies were carried out by Big Serious Companies, which have access to Big Data.

The source of the data is obvious for an ordinary person: the experience of the same ordinary people. Overshadowed by this idea, I opened the well-known w3bsit3-dns.com forum and plunged into it headlong.

The story itself about how I filled out the plate in Google Dox, of course, will not be interesting to anyone, so I will say frankly that I took the number of pages in the discussion of the device (which, in theory, is proportional to its popularity) and the number of pages in the discussion of the marriage of the device (which , theoretically, inversely proportional to the quality of its manufacture), and then divided the second into the first and received a certain abstract coefficient of marriage. Actually, it took much less time than trying to get scatterplot in Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc to display dot labels. As you can see from the following graph, which is not a scatterplot, these attempts ended in complete failure:

By the way, I had to throw out from the table Samsung Galaxy S6, because its rejection rate was seven times higher than that of the next smartphone, which clearly indicates an error (and once again reminds that such a method of assessing reliability did not go so far from sticking a finger previously removed from the nostril into the sky ).

In general, the results are slightly different from what I expected. There are big doubts that data on different platforms can be compared with each other: perhaps the high rejection rate of Apple products is caused by the fact that users who paid a lot of money are much more demanding and are not ready to put up with even minor flaws, and the leadership of smartphones is not Windows Phone can be explained by the fact that the topics devoted to them are mainly filled with holivars, and not with reviews of the owners. In any case, we see a noticeable drop in quality in the latter iPhone generation... This was not the case under Stalin.

Nevertheless, the results for Android smartphones are quite entertaining. Outspoken Chinese like Zopo suddenly show very, very good results (though, of course, they can have a crooked firmware and slow down a lot, but this is no longer a marriage), the more eminent Chinese in the person of Meizu are not much behind them, the Japanese from Sony are clearly visible the failure in quality in the region of 2013-2014, which is now being actively liquidated, the Koreans represented by Samsung and LG are frankly upset.

Hopefully this graph, while it smells a bit like coffee grounds, will help someone pick a hassle-free smartphone.

What should be the smartphone you are going to buy? Some people focus on performance, for others the appearance is the nicest, while others cannot imagine a device without a long-lasting battery and a good camera. But for experts Blancco Technology Group (the world's leading supplier of diagnostic tools for mobile devices and secure erasure solutions) reliability comes first. They identified most unreliable and most reliable smartphones after analyzing the performance of mobile devices under Android and iOS.

It found that 85% of system crash messages in the last quarter of 2015 were sent by Android devices. The definition of "system failure" included battery problems and errors initiated not by the OS, but by the user, and errors in loading applications.

Rating of manufacturers of the most reliable smartphones in 2016

5. Samsung

The number of error messages from the total is 27%.

The South Korean manufacturer commented on the results of the study, saying that its gadgets ranked first in reliability and quality ratings in different countries the world. For example, in 2015 Samsung surpassed Apple in the American Consumer Satisfaction Index, an annual survey of American consumer satisfaction with smartphones.

However, given the recent "incendiary" problems in Galaxy Note 7, user satisfaction with the company's products may decline significantly.

Samsung has proudly emerged from this embarrassment by dramatically improving the quality of its smartphones, which has put the company at the top of the list. The honorary title went to the flagship Galaxy models S8.

4. Lenovo

The number of error messages from the total is 21%.

A company that makes reliable budget smartphones, is famous for its successful design solutions, ergonomics of devices, high-quality materials used in the assembly. However, in many reviews Lenovo smartphones users speak negatively about the mass unnecessary applications that "clutter" the memory.

3. Motorola

The number of error messages from the total is 18%.

In the third place among the most reliable smartphones (2016 rating), Blancco Technology Group placed devices of the brand, which Russian consumers strongly associate with phones. In 2016, the company returned to the Russian market “under the wing” of Lenovo, which is also responsible for service maintenance Moto smartphones.

2. Xiaomi

The number of error messages from the total is 11%.

The reliable ones are Xiaomi. Everything is good in the company's products: battery capacity, cameras, screen resolution and "juiciness", performance and price. Smartphones of this brand, starting from Mi1 / Mi1S, run MIUI firmware, based on Android OS but closed source. She combines best solutions taken from Android and iOS, but still not without errors.

1. Asus

The number of error messages from the total is 8%.

The Taiwanese brand, founded in 1989, is present in the market not only for smartphones, but also for laptops, coolers, motherboards and other computer components. His smartphones are rarely criticized, but they are often praised for their value for money, long charge battery, good sound, bright displays and build quality. The criticism is caused by the firmware, in which there are many unnecessary programs occupying memory, and frequent crashes.

1. Apple iPhone

The number of error messages from the total is 15%.

Another number one on our list of reliable smartphones. year could not do without a representative of Apple, this brand is too popular, elitist and advertised. Already from the first version, the iPhone won the glory of an expensive, but very reliable gadget. In 2015, Apple's OS accounted for only 15% of the problems.

However, the leader of the top 5 was not without sin. According to the latest report State of Mobile Device Performance and Health report, published by Blancco Technology Group, is having issues with Wi-Fi connectivity and smartphone performance. The iOS OS failure rate increased to 58% in the second quarter of 2016, up from 25% in the previous quarter.

Of those 58%, iPhone 6 had the highest crash rate (29%), followed by iPhone 6S (23%) and iPhone 6S Plus (14%). At the same time, total iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus sales were 15.1% in Q2 2016, according to statistics compiled by Kantar Worldpanel Comtech. This combined data suggests that the updates software, hardware bugs and an increase in the market share of an Apple-powered smartphone may have contributed to the high failure rate of iOS.

Richard Steennon, chief strategy officer, Blancco Technology Group said his company's data suggests that the results of the performance battle between iOS and Android are constantly changing. So, perhaps the day will come when Android will push Jobs's brainchild off the pedestal of reliability.

The third place in reliability among Nokia mobile phones was taken by the C2-01 model. This is a simple and fairly budget device with a 3.2 Megapixel camera, a memory card slot and a 3G module. Of all the tests carried out on him, he could not stand only one - a fall onto a hard surface from a height of two meters. But even after the fall, he continued to work, only the screen cracked.

The second well-deserved place was given to everyone familiar Nokia model 6303i. This is a classic phone, the body of which is made of stainless steel, so it is not afraid of overheating or falling at all. The only drawback of this mobile phone is that the body is not very tightly sealed.

Well, the first place went to two devices from the Nokia brand at once. These are models 2330 and 1616. They passed the tests with the same results.

Equipped with a QWERTY keyboard and camera, the Alcatel OT-606 phone withstood high and low temperature tests well, but failed the moisture and dust tests.

The most reliable phone

According to all the tests carried out, as well as studies, one of the flagships among the phones turned out to be the most reliable. Apple, iPhone 4. In relation to all other mobile phones, this device has surpassed its rivals in almost all respects. The only weakness of the iPhone is the glossy finish, which is easy to scratch, but its functionality always remains at its best.

For a person who often changes his smartphone to a newer model, such a selection criterion as reliability may not be in the first place. However, if you choose mobile phone, which should serve for several years, then you will surely take an interest, which smartphones are the most reliable in 2017.
