After the Spring Festival, Valentine's Day and other price reduction promotion periods, coupled with the Snapdragon 8 mobile platform flagships have been listed one after another, the price of the mobile phone market began to gradually stabilize, should be before the 618 promotion, the price will not change much.
The first snapdragon 8 flagships have been on the market for some time, and we are also preparing a related large-scale horizontal test, which will be officially released next week, which can be expected. Judging from the current market feedback, the overall situation is better than last year, performance, power consumption has basically withstood the test, if you are still holding the currency, you can wait for our content release next week, and then choose one according to your own needs.
In terms of other new products, from the perspective of the past law, most of the flagships that debuted in the beginning of the year were used for "show muscle", and in the next period of time, there will be many low-end models for the volume. In order to meet the new products, the thousand yuan machine market has also been adjusted, if you do not pursue the new model, you can choose a thousand yuan machine last year in the near future.
With this in mind, we finally didn't recommend the Redmi K40 series this month – although it is still one of the most cost-effective models at the same price after the price reduction, and it can even be said that it is not a loss to buy with your eyes closed. But now that the Redmi K50 esports edition has been released, its standard version is expected to meet us in March, as long as the budget card is not too dead, wait for the K50 is not fragrant?
TOP 1: Xiaomi Mi 12
Reference price: 3999 yuan (8GB + 256GB)
Recommended reason: a rare "small screen" flagship
Xiaomi Mi 12 is the first batch of released Snapdragon 8 new machines, it not only has flagship performance and shooting capabilities, we are impressed by its grip.
This phone has a 6.28-inch screen, in fact, it is not small, Xiaomi has spent a lot of effort on the design of the fuselage and process processing, for the mobile phone, which needs to be held in the hand for a long time, it is a very important thing to feel good. Even if it is not easy to reflect in the parameters, the experience it brings is real.
In addition, 120Hz high brush, 67W fast charging and other configurations have not fallen, bringing a complete flagship experience. At present, the price of the machine has not been adjusted, but it will be accompanied by gifts such as Bluetooth speakers and table lamps, which is still relatively cost-effective.
TOP 2: OnePlus 9
Reference price: 2999 yuan (12GB + 256GB)
Recommended reason: 1300 yuan direct drop
What could be more appealing than a price cut? The price of 2999 yuan can buy the Snapdragon 888 model (the official website is cheaper than the e-commerce platform), or the 12GB+256GB version, this price is still very fragrant.
Looking at the product itself, the performance of snapdragon 888 does not need to worry even now, and after a whole year of adjustment, the optimization has been done in place, and there will be no big problems in fighting for 2 years.
It is worth mentioning that the OnePlus 9 also has the same 50-megapixel IMX766 ultra-wide angle main camera of the OnePlus 9 Pro, plus a freeform lens, which increases the viewing angle while preventing distortion, providing sufficient logistical support for the creation.
TOP 3：iPhone 12
Reference price: 5699 yuan (256GB)
Reason for recommendation: The most cost-effective iPhone
The product strength of the iPhone series need not be said much, the key is to look at the price. At this time, the iPhone 12 is recommended, not because the iPhone 13 series is not good, but because it has now passed the promotion period of the new year, and after Valentine's Day, the price of the iPhone 13/iPhone 13 Pro on major platforms has even begun to rise.
And there will be almost no price changes from now until the 618, if it is not just needed, it is recommended to consider the iPhone 12 series. Prices have stabilized, and performance and shooting can meet daily needs. For users with a limited budget but want to get a 5G iPhone, the iPhone 12 is a good choice.
TOP 4: Huawei P50 Pro
Reference price: 6458 yuan (8GB + 256GB)
Reason for recommendation: Finally in stock
Many relatives and friends ask me directly "which Huawei mobile phone to buy" when they consult me about the purchase problem - indeed, for many pollen or people who do not know much about the mobile phone market, Huawei mobile phones may be their only choice. Under various restrictions, Huawei mobile phones are also difficult to find, so being able to buy them has become the most critical factor.
After the Snapdragon 888 version of the Huawei P50 Pro was solved the chip problem, the supply was still relatively sufficient, except for the lack of Kirin 9000, the other experience was almost exactly the same. Including Hongmeng OS, imaging systems and Huawei ecology, etc. have been inherited, especially the shooting capabilities, which are still in the current first group. If there is no special demand for 5G networks, even if it is not a hardcore pollen, it can be considered.
TOP 5: True Self GT2 Pro
Reference price: 3699 yuan (8GB + 256GB)
Recommended reason: Snapdragon 8 directly down 500 yuan
As we expected, realme's previous "limited time" price reduction activities seem to have become the norm, 8GB + 256GB version of the Snapdragon 8 flagship new machine only 3899 yuan can be bought, from the price point of view is still quite attractive.
This product also has a good screen, the parameters are not much to say, DisplayMate A+ certification is enough to prove its strength. In addition, as a batch of Snapdragon 8 flagships that came to market earlier, after many OTA upgrades, it has gradually found a balance between performance and power consumption, and can have a better performance when playing for a long time.
In addition, the appearance design of realme has always been quite strong, especially the master custom version, which is very suitable for young users who pursue personality.
TOP 6：Redmi Note 11
Reference price: 1668 yuan (8GB + 256GB)
Reason for recommendation: 1500 price segment is preferred
As mentioned at the beginning, we don't recommend the Redmi K40 in this issue, but in the low-end market, Redmi has never been afraid of anyone - the Redmi Note 11 is also a model worth starting in the near future.
Even the 256GB version that meets the needs of most people is attractive enough. Thousand yuan machine competition is fierce, the most powerful voice is still the configuration: Tianji 810, 33W fast charging, 90Hz screen... While meeting basic daily needs, it also has configurations such as stereo dual speakers and infrared remote control that are not easily reflected in the parameter table.
Overall, this is a product with a lot of sincerity, and if the budget is not so generous, it is a relatively suitable choice.
TOP 7：vivo X70 Pro
Reason for recommendation: Civilian-level video flagship
There are a lot of users who will prioritize shooting level when buying a machine, but the budget may not be too generous, so you can completely look at the vivo X70 Pro. After many price adjustments, the price of the 8GB+256GB version has come to 3699 yuan, with a decline of nearly 1,000 yuan, users who have been struggling with the price can rush.
Thanks to the cooperation between vivo and ZEISS, on the vivo X70 Pro, not only has a large bottom micro-gimbal dual main camera, but also its sensors have been deeply customized, coupled with ZEISS's T* coating and self-developed image chip V1, not only has a high film completion rate, but also ensures quality. In our previous evaluation, even in the more extreme night shooting, there can be pure and clear picture output, which is very suitable for users who like to record their lives with mobile phones.
TOP 8：iQOO Neo5
Reference price: 2299 yuan (8GB + 256GB)
Recommended reason: Low power consumption and high frame rate gaming experience
For players who value the game experience, when choosing a mobile phone, they will first consider its performance and power consumption, if you think that the flagship machine equipped with Snapdragon 8 is too expensive, then last year's "God U" Snapdragon 870 has become a good choice. In this type of model, the iQOO Neo5 with a standalone display chip obviously has its own unique advantages.
This standalone display chip assists the processor in rendering the picture while maintaining low power consumption. After turning on interpolation mode, the processor only needs to render half of the picture, directly bringing double the frame rate performance, which not only reduces power consumption, but also maintains a consistently stable output.
This product has been released for nearly a year, and the price has gradually dropped to the freezing point, which is worth starting.
TOP 9: True Self Q3s
Reference price: 1199 yuan (6GB + 128GB)
Reason for recommendation: Currently the cheapest Snapdragon 778G mobile phone
I don't need to say more about how popular realme's "Q3 Universe" is, in the early thousand-dollar model, the real Q3s will definitely be a good choice. The phone is equipped with a Snapdragon 778G processor, a 144Hz screen and a 5,000mAh battery and a 48-megapixel triple camera system, which is enough for users who often use basic applications such as WeChat and Douyin.
Since the budget is limited, the memory configuration can choose the basic model, and the 128GB version can still be used. And its price is also the lowest in the same configuration, is an entry-level thousand yuan machine worth considering.
TOP 10: Honor Magic V
Reference price: 9999 yuan (8GB + 256GB)
Reason for recommendation: Not only fun, but also very practical
Folding screen model is not mainstream, recommended Honor Magic V is because it is not folded for folding, the outer screen can meet the needs of normal use, but also the mainstream APP has been adapted, the inner screen display is not blindly stretched. In addition, it also provides parallel horizons, smart split screens, suspended windows and other functions, so that this large screen can play the value of 1+1>2.
The price of this phone is more acceptable for other folding screen models, the supply is relatively sufficient, and it is also equipped with the latest Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which can bring a better large-screen gaming experience, which is worth considering.
