In the first quarter of the New Year, many manufacturers launched their new flagship products to prepare for the sales of the whole year. It is also because of this special moment that the prices of many old flagship products have plunged one after another, which is basically at the lowest price in history. It is a very good time to launch. Now, the writer will screen and recommend the models with a large diving range in the reformer market, Make a pre purchase reference for the friends who are going to change the machine.

NO.1 HTC One X
Reference price: 2520 yuan (plate changing machine)
Highlight: solid workmanship and outstanding configuration

HTC One has now been released, and the price of the flagship One X of the previous generation has naturally dropped to the bottom. Now the price of this flagship in the revised machine market is 2520, which is very affordable. HTC has always been well-known in terms of workmanship, and is one of the industry's models. As a flagship model, the One X will naturally get the best care. Although the shell is made of engineering plastics, the polycarbonate material formed in one piece makes the mobile phone very comfortable in touch, not particularly slippery, nor easy to leave fingerprints like mirror finish.

The screen adopts a 4.7 inch second generation SLCD screen with a resolution of 1280x720 and a PPI of 312, which is very delicate. Although this screen is generally warm due to batch problems, its performance in terms of color and visual angle is outstanding, no less than that of the IPS panel.

In terms of hardware configuration, One X is also very powerful. It has a four core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor with a main frequency of 1.5GHz. Although 1GB RAM is not abundant at this stage, it is still more than enough for daily multitasking. Of course, the disadvantage of One X is also obvious. Its battery capacity is small, only 1800 mA. As a quad core mobile phone, the battery configuration is really low.

NO.2 Samsung Galaxy S3
Reference price: 2650 yuan (revision machine)
Highlight: excellent performance and affordable price

As Samsung's flagship product last year, the Galaxy S3 has always been selling well and is the first choice for many people to purchase the flagship product. Now the price of this flagship has fallen to the lowest price in history due to the pressure of Galaxy S4's listing. You can see that the price of the Galaxy S3 began to decline a week ago. Although the decline is relatively small every day, this week it fell to less than 2700 because of the relationship between the small and the large. Now the price is stable, which is a good time to start.

The hardware configuration of the Galaxy S3 is quite good. Although the quad core mobile phone is no longer a rare configuration, the Orion 4412 processor has always been the best in the Android camp in terms of optimization. The running memory is 1GB, and some game enthusiasts may think it is a little small. However, Galaxy S3 also has hardware enhanced versions, such as Japanese version, Korean version, LTE version, and so on. There are many improvements in hardware configuration. If you think the ordinary version cannot meet the requirements, you can also search for these versions online.

The camera is an eight million backlit CMOS, and the imaging quality is also quite good. However, due to the aperture of F2.4, the imaging field of vision may not be as outstanding as One X. In any case, the Galaxy S3 is still the most attractive product in the 2600-2700 price range. If your budget just happens to be in this price range, you strongly recommend this phone.

NO.3 Samsung Note2
Reference price: 3330 yuan (revision machine)
Highlight: Fashion appearance is preferred for large screen

The name of Note2 is no longer as small as last year, and now it has become Samsung's second only to Galaxy S. Note 2 The price trend of this week is also very encouraging. It has continued to decline. In the last four days, it has stabilized at about 3330, with a decline of only 5 yuan. It is a good time to start. It is recommended that those who are still watching start as soon as possible.

In terms of hardware configuration, before the Galaxy S4 was launched, Note2 was still Samsung's strongest flagship product. The processor was the enhanced Orion 4412, with a main frequency of 1.6GHz and a running memory of 2GB. The frequency of the integrated multi-core Mali-400 graphics chip was also improved, and the 3100mA replaceable battery of Note2 also provided a guarantee of endurance, making it the first choice for game lovers.

Note2 is equipped with a 5.5 inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280x720. Although the PPI is only 267, the arrangement is different from the Galaxy S3, so the graininess is much better. The main camera of the mobile phone is 8 million pixels, and the secondary camera is 1.9 million pixels. The imaging quality is very high. And the 1080P size video recording effect is also quite good, which is a fairly balanced mobile phone.

NO.4 LG Nexus4
Reference price: 2210 yuan (revision machine)
Highlight: the first choice of your family

Many people say that if you haven't played the Nexus series, don't say you've played Android phones. Although it's a bit of GEEK, it's not unreasonable. The Nexus series has always been a standard for Android development, and is the preferred model for many mobile phone enthusiasts. If you love to struggle, you should start with a Nexus series.

In terms of price trend, although the decline of Nexus 4 is not as big as that of other models, it is also a steady decline. Now the price is around 2210, which is also very attractive. In terms of configuration, Nexus 4 is very outstanding. Qualcomm APQ 8064 has a 1.5GHz main frequency and integrated Adreno 320 graphics chip. It has good game compatibility, and its running memory has reached 2GB. There is no pressure to run large games.

As a direct product, Nexus 4 inherits the high configuration of this series and is also very user-friendly in terms of price. The configuration of Qualcomm APQ 8064 plus 720P IPS screen is outstanding in all aspects. Now the price of the 8GB version is 2210, which is worth starting with.

Summary:

The new and old flagships have changed, and the old flagships have gradually become yesterday's yellow flowers. Although the configuration remains unchanged, the price is no longer high-end. Personally, I think it is more appropriate to consume mobile phone products in a rational way. Don't go too far in pursuit of high technology and speed. If you are a "sufficiency principle", the model I recommend today can be used for two years.
