The best 8-core smartphones

Buyer who wants to choose a productive smartphone, no sense to consider the number of processor cores as a criterion. There are many indicators that affect the speed of the gadget to a greater extent - for example, the volume of the RAM. As an example, the iPhones are most often given, with a small number of kernels (in the "seven" processor, there are only 4 of them) guaranteeing such performance, which is 8- and 10-nuclear gadgets and did not decrease.

What advantages then receive the owner of the 8th nuclear unit? In the article, we will tell in detail about it in detail, and in addition, we describe smartphones with 8-core processors, which are deservedly included in the number of the best.

Why is the smartphone 8 nuclei?

Jon Mandy, the TRUSTED Reviews resource browser, got to the point, noting that eight-year processors in the case of smartphones it would be more correct to call "double four-core". The eight-year chip, as a rule, includes a pair of sets, in each of which 4 nuclei - and these sets act on different clock frequencies. To make sure it is enough to look into the specifications of any 8-nuclear device.

4-nuclear smartphone involves to solve the problem all kernels immediately. And 8-nuclear - no! Such a gadget uses only one of the pair of sets - which particular depends on the complexity of a particular task. To check notifications and Internet surfing of great performance, it is not required - it will take a set of nuclei with a lower frequency. But if the user launches a 3D game or editing a photo, the smartphone has to podnaping - the processor that is more powerful.

The number of nuclei more affects the energy efficiency of the smartphone than on its performance.

If the gadget for solving small tasks is forced to use a powerful chipset, the charge is consumed without particular necessary. Therefore, the 8-nuclear device will be able to boast a longer autonomous work than its 4-nuclear analogue.

The best smartphones with the 8th nuclei

The number of 8 nuclear smartphones is now very large - all worthy models our rating is simply not accommodated. Therefore, only those gadgets were in the top, which in addition to many nuclei are capable of boasting something else.

2018 Chinese brand Xiaomi produces a Pocofone F1 smartphone with a Snapdragon 845 top chipset and a filling with a decent flagship. The device becomes the most affordable device of the year on this processor and gets the title of the budget flagship itself. Thus, the brand creates a subsidiary, which will be engaged in the production of smartphones independently. The starting model gets all the best and causes a furor.

In 2019, Xiaomi decide to repeat the trick and declare a separation Redmi as an independent manufacturer. The first device becomes Note 7, which is not the flagship, but impressive. The model received a modern display with excellent resolution and with a drop-shaped neck, decent performance based on one of the most powerful medium segment chipsets, Double chamber with excellent photo quality, beautiful design, capacious battery with support Fast charging. All this is seasoned by a very attractive price tag.

Redmi Note 7 is already called the best gadget of the year, and now only February. However, it did not cost without minus - no NFC. On the one hand, it defits very serious, but considering all the possibilities of the device and its cost - it is quite possible to survive. Currently it is stated that RedMI devices will be sold exclusively online, so you can buy a novelty on Aliexpress.

Protected and autonomous smartphone in a classic case

AGM A9

• Processor: Snapdragon 450, clock frequency 1.8 GHz
• Memory (Operational / Custom): 3 / 32 GB, 4/64 GB
• Screen: 5.99 inches diagonal, resolution 2160 * 1080

AGM A9 was released at the end of 2017, but was reissued in 2018 with an improved 4/64 GB memory modification. Device is not the cheapest, but has a number of chips. First of all, this is a protected device with the appearance of a regular phone. That the gadget is not afraid of water, dust, shocks and critical temperatures can be guessing only on the "corrugated" metal edging frame. The rejection of the use of metal as a material for the rear panel in favor of a new type of high-strength polyethylene allowed the model to be easy and relatively elegant, but at the same time to certify the Mil-STD-810G security class certification. In other words, it is almost impossible to kill it.

AGM A9 has a very high resolution, excellent autonomy with fast charge, a decent memory supply. The model boasts NFC, dactylocopic protection and excellent work of the navigation system. An interesting feature is 4 powerful JBL dynamics, which are total issued 103 dB. In fact, the device can replace the wireless column. If we talk about minuses, it is not upsetting the most high-quality shooting and the processor does not correspond to the stated value. However, taking into account positioning, it was not advisable to put a more powerful chipset.

For the title of smartphone with an unusual appearance, many models could compete - Vivo NEX S, OPPO Find X, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. The winner was BlackBerry Key2 due to That it is not only interesting to visually, but is an excellent and safe device for work.

First of all, the phone is highlighted by the presence of a QWERTY keyboard. In 2019, this can be considered an anachronism, but to overestimate the convenience of such a method of set of messages is extremely difficult. The model turned out to be thought out from point of used materials. The glass is covered by Corning Glass 3. Selection of 3 versions (in the previous model Gorilla Glass 4) is due to the fact that in terms of strikes it is less protected than the 4th series, but it is not afraid of scratches. User logic - it is better to scratch than smash, but the fact is that the weight of the device is shifted to the keyboard, that is, when the device falls, it will not hit the glass. You can only split it with direct impact. The frame is made of aluminum 7000 series (used in the aircraft industry), and the back cover of textured plastic with splashes of rubber. He is not only not a slippery, but also extremely pleasant to the touch.

The choice is not the best processor, taking into account the very high price, is due to the fact that the device will hardly use for games, so it makes no sense to put a top version, and Snapdragon 660 in turn gives decent performance for any tasks And at the same time is energy efficient. Thus, the company made a powerful device with excellent autonomy.

An important point is Android 8.1 without excess software, but with very convenient its own programs. BlackBerry Hub collects all information from social networks, mail, messengers, calls and SMS in one place. Very active users do not have to switch between applications - everything is in one program. Locker is a kind of cache. It can be hidden documents, photos and even programs. An attacker who kidnates the device does not even guess that something important is hidden in the phone. Privacy Shade darkens the screen. Looking over his shoulder or throwing a random look at the device to see what it is not possible in it.

In addition, the device makes very decent images and photos, has good amounts of memory, all modern interfaces, including NFC, as well as Type-C. The manufacturer did not give up the connector 3.5. Taking into account the price and positioning, the phone is designed not for the masses, but for people who work a lot and use for this smartphone, BlackBerry Key2 will be the best helper.
