Time flies, 2018 has passed like this. In the 365 days, major manufacturers have made a lot of efforts to launch many impressive flagship phones, many of which have also arrived Love to play computer games The studio conducts evaluation. Now, let's review the flagship phones at home and abroad in 2018.
Traditional factory
In February 2018, Samsung released the Galaxy S9 series at the MWC Conference, as the flagship works of international manufacturers, S9 and S9+ Naturally, it has attracted the attention of many users. Although the sequel does not seem to change much compared with the previous generation of S8 series, it is still an excellent work.
Depending on the market, the S9 series is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810, the main CMOS is IMX345 or S5K2L3, and the S9 series is a single camera S9+ There is also an optical anti shake telephoto lens（ S5K3M3 ）, and the main camera supports variable aperture（ F/1.5 and f/2.4 ）, play more. The detailed parameters are not detailed here.
But even as a flagship, Samsung is still not willing to equip the S9 with more memory, and the small machine is still 4GB. When facing Samsung's OS and the entire Android application ecosystem, 4GB is still difficult to hold. Of course, if Google's memory optimization capability is available, let's say otherwise（ Pixel 3 full 4GB ）。
The S9 series is a good phone, but it may not be good enough to make consumers pay for it, because Samsung has basically fallen to the bottom from the perspective of the market share of mobile phones in China today. In fact, it is not difficult to understand, because Xiaomi, Huawei, vivo and OPPO have many high-quality products in 2018, and the prices are more affordable. However, it seems unlikely that Samsung will lower its value. So if domestic manufacturers continue to make efforts next year, the Samsung flagship will be more difficult to move forward.
The Galaxy Note9 in September 2018 also encountered the dilemma of general sales in China. In fact, from the experience of our colleagues who bought the American version of Note9, it is indeed a mobile phone with excellent overall quality and excellent screen quality（ In screen A ）S Pen is very interesting and has excellent photo taking performance. However, the price is so high, which may be why my colleagues turned to the US version that cannot use telecom instead of the Bank of China.

As the most anticipated flagship of Apple every year, iPhone XS and It has attracted countless fans' eyes and wallets. Hermes in this mobile phone finally supports the physical dual card（ Only for BOC, Hong Kong and Macao versions as well as ）, brought a large screen version of A12 bionic SoC, IP68（ XS Series Only ）Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, really, as a fruit fan, I really want to buy one Until I saw the price.
The most practical medium configuration 256GB The price of the Bank of China is up to 10999 yuan, which is very expensive for an electronic product. Even according to the current exchange rate in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong version is worth 9000+yuan. Personally, this is beyond the ability of many people.
Such a high price has led to poor sales, although Apple's total profit has not dropped much compared with previous years（ Because the unit price is high ）, but maybe that's why Apple Lower the revenue forecast for the fourth quarter of 2018 （ One of the reasons is that China's sales are not strong ）。 Cook may not have thought that he should be able to measure , and finally Not as good as expected In fact, I personally think that if I didn't pay special attention to the 326ppi LCD screen, It's worth getting started, because it's the cheapest flagship iPhone you can buy at present. As for why the sales volume is generally even broken on the day of sale, it may be that most Apple fans want to buy the top iPhone instead of the second flagship.
However, in terms of product strength, iPhone XS Max and All are OK. I am still very happy when I use them. If the wallet is hard enough, the fans will not be disappointed when they buy these flagship iPhones.
Although many people tease these companies all day long, the real tragedy is HTC. After all, Sony and LG have many other businesses to support, The former includes game, video and image sensors The latter also has household appliances, chemical industry, etc. HTC is more dependent on mobile phone business, but Pixel Department Sold to Google VR is neither warm nor hot, and its sense of existence is getting lower and lower, which may be why the U12 with good comprehensive quality+（ 845, dual speaker, IP68, LCD ）, on the contrary, it is the reason why many users despise it. However, HTC said that in 2019 5G mobile phones will be launched I still hope this Taiwanese enterprise can revive its momentum~
Sony's XZ2 this year/ XZ2 Compact XZ2 Premium looks good in all aspects. As for why it is still unpopular with users, it may be that Design department's pot bar 。 As for LG... At present, they are no longer selling licensed goods in the mainland market...
Powerful domestic flagship
In fact, since the end of 2017, it has been seen that domestic manufacturers are gradually making efforts, and by 2018, everyone will start to ship.
vivo NEX The front camera with lifting structure brings a very comprehensive screen design. OPPO Find X Is to raise and lower the forehead, and R17 Pro Both are equipped with 50W SuperVOOC super flash charge. According to our test results, the power is so high that it has its own background music. The iPhone XS series, which sells for tens of thousands of dollars every minute, can hardly stand up in front of it.
Millet 8 It is still steady, the overall quality is OK, and the cost performance is high. If you want to say which Xiaomi mobile phone is more impressive this year, it may be the first time that the screen fingerprint and 3D structured light are combined on the Discovery Edition. although Inherited the name, but generally speaking, the slide design is not as amazing as previous generations. Of course, from all aspects, the MIX 3 is also a good machine.
Yijia insists on being the flagship. In the first half of the year and the second half of the year, it brought 6 and 6T respectively. With a certain b grid, OK price performance ratio, a system that is very close to native Android, and This niche company in the eyes of many people has achieved good results both overseas and at home, and even YouTube's top big V MKBHD has awarded one plus 6T Awards（ Smartphone of the Year ）, which can be said to be a great face. Although the A-screen seems to prevent some people from buying Now we can Brush "DC dimming core" Ah!
Of course, Huawei doesn't need to say much, P20 Pro With customized IMX600 It was born in the sky, which surprised many people, and it is still DxOMark （ 109 points ）However, the biggest slot point at that time was the Kirin 970 SoC. However, a few months ago, Not only with IMX600, but also with next-generation 980 SoC It can be said that he is a true all-round player.
Final
The mobile phone circle in 2018 can be said to be very exciting. Many flagship brands have left a deep impression on us, especially domestic manufacturers. All kinds of water drop screens, perforated screens, Liu Haiping and dual screen designs have exploded the mobile phone circle, with different forms, and you can always find the one you like. But there are also companies that are not doing well, such as ... ... After all, Meizu has pulled back a city with the 2698 of the optical anti shake IMX380（ Although we can't buy it in the early stage ）The way of Hammer this year is really Very rough 。
