Display-to-body ratio
The ratio of the screen area to the total front panel area of the phone. Simply put, this spec describes how much of the front panel is occupied by the screen; the rest is the bezels.
This indicator is given exclusively for smartphones with touch screens — it is for them that it is most relevant. The larger the percentage of the body is occupied by the screen, the thinner are the bezels, the neater the smartphone looks and the more convenient it is to work with it with one hand. As for specific numbers, the average values are 80 – 85 %, the higher values allow us to talk about a
thin bezel, and more than 90 % — about a
“bezel less” design.
Separately, we note that this parameter has nothing to do with the aspect ratio of the screen. The aspect ratio describes only the display itself — its proportions, the ratio between the larger and smaller side of the rectangle.
Stock Android
"clean" Android operating system/
The Android OS is open source, allowing developers to create various modifications of this OS, including branded builds and software shells. Such modifications can be quite advanced, but they often change or even limit the functionality of the original Android, and updates to such firmware are highly dependent on their creators and often fall back behind updates to the original OS. Thus, some users prefer to use "clean", stock Android, without any add-ons or shells; those devices are designed for them.
CPU model
The most popular nowadays are chips from
Qualcomm and
MediaTek, CPUs from
Unisoc are slightly less common. Qualcomm has several processors of each series, namely
Snapdragon 778G,
Snapdragon 7 Gen 1,
Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2,
Snapdragon 7s Gen 2,
Snapdragon 7 Gen 3,
Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3,
Snapdragon 865,
Snapdragon 870,
Snapdragon 888,
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1,
Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1,
Snapdragon 8 Gen 2,
Snapdragon 8 Gen 3,
Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. And Mediatek has a low cost series
MediaTek Helio P and a line of advanced chipsets
MediaTek Dimensity (
Dimensity 1000,
Dimensity 7000,
Dimensity 8000,
Dimensity 9000).
Knowing the name of the CPU model installed in the smartphone, you can find detailed data on a particula
...r CPU and evaluate its level and general capabilities. This is especially true in light of the fact that these capabilities depend not only on the number of cores and clock speed, but also on the specific nuances of the design.CPU frequency
The clock frequency of the CPU that the device is equipped with. For multi-core processors, which are standard in modern smartphones, the frequency of each individual core is implied; and if the processor has cores with different frequencies (see "Number of cores") — usually, the maximum indicator is given.
In general,
high performance smartphones have high frequency of the processor. However, note that this parameter itself is not directly related to the capabilities of the CPU: many other features of the chip affect the actual performance, and often a low cost solution with a higher clock speed turns out to be less performant than an expensive one, and at the same time, presumably, more "slow" processor. In addition, the overall performance of the system directly depends on a whole set of other factors — primarily the amount of RAM. Therefore, when evaluating a smartphone, it is worth focus not so much on the frequency of the processor, but on the general specs of the system and visual indicators like the results in tests (see below).
Processor rating AnTuTu
End-to-end processor rating (regardless of chipset manufacturer) for Android smartphones. It is based on a set of maximum performance indicators of the processor itself, the memory bus, the graphics core, etc. Processor ratings can be useful to enable comparison and easy selection of similar models.
GPU
The model of the GPU used in the mobile phone.
This module is responsible for all tasks related to graphics; accordingly, its specs directly affect the efficiency of processing a particular picture. This is especially noticeable in the example of modern 3D games. Therefore, the presence of a powerful video adapter is especially important for
gaming smartphones. And knowing the model of the GPU, you can find detailed data about it and evaluate its capabilities.
Memory storage
The volume of storage installed in the phone.
This volume directly determines how much data can be stored on the phone without using removable memory cards. This indicator is especially important for models that
don't have memory card slots. However, even if memory cards are supported, built-in storage is still preferable: at least it works faster, and it usually has fewer restrictions on its use (in particular, most smartphones allow you to install applications only on storage).
As for specific volumes, the actual minimum for a modern smartphone is
32 GB; less “capacious” devices are becoming increasingly rare these days.
64 GB is considered a comfortable minimum,
128 GB is considered average indicator,
256 GB - above average. Some high-end devices are equipped with
512 GB and even
1 TB< /a>.
We also note that the actual amount of memory available to the user will inevitably be somewhat less than the total, since part of the drive is occupied by operating system files.Max. memory card storage
The largest volume of memory card with which the phone supports. For more information about the cards themselves, see "Memory Card Slot"; here we note that capacious cards often use advanced technologies that are not supported by all devices, and sometimes phones simply do not have enough power to process large amounts of data. Therefore, for the convenience of choosing in our catalog, the maximum supported volume is indicated.
In fact, there are cases when some devices may exceed the claimed characteristics. However, it is worth focusing on official data, because, if officially supported volume is exceeded, normal operation of the card is not guaranteed.
Test results
The test results are specified either by a younger model in a line or a particular model, made for a better understanding performance of phone models if you compare phones against these parameters. For example, the 128 GB model has test results, and the 256 GB model has no information on the network, and in both models you will see the same value that will give an understanding of the overall performance of the device. But if the editorial office has information for each model individually, then each model will have its test results filled out, and the model with bigger RAM will have bigger values.
