With all the high-end phones on the market today it makes sense to check out different smartphones that you could enjoy. Many less experienced phone users will keep their selections very narrow. It’s often true that people will buy the newest brand without an actual examination of which phone is right for them. This is a review of some high-end phones that you may not be as familiar with. Regardless, it makes sense to give them a chance. You might be surprised by what you will find. The 3 phones that will be up for review today are the Lenovo Vibe X2, the Sony Xperia Z3 compact, and Nokia Lumia 820.
The Lenovo Vibe X2 is a great way to get started off. If you are in the market for a new smartphone it pays to check this one out. Though not as popular as some models in a comparable price range, you will be surprised to learn that the Vibe X2 does more than holds its ground. Retailing at about the $600 range, you expect a lot from a similarly priced phone. One of the first things that you will notice about the phone is that the screen is long rather than wide. It’s a new take on a design that is becoming increasingly more popular in modern phones. You can really tell a difference in the picture. With an impressive pixel density of 441 ppi, you will be amazed at the richness of the colors that your phone provides. The software is Android 4.4, but that should not take the emphasis off the impressive hardware. This includes a 8-core, 2000 MH processing chip with 2048 MB RAM. There is no doubt that this will provide you the functionality you need for any program you run on it. This is not even to mention the powerful 13 megapixel camera that is better than many digital cameras on the market today along with 17 hours of talking battery life. The Lenovo Vibe X2 is certainly on the short list of smartphones you need to try out.
The Sony Xperia Z3 compact lives up to its name. Weighing it an only 4.55 oz, this mini wonder will have you excited about all the possibilities that a small phone can offer. But even for a tiny phone, this has a big high-resolution display. Not to mention the 20 megapixel camera which is one of the best that we have seen on any smartphone to date. This thing is truly impressive. The phone has yet to be released so the price point is still being speculated. Many believe that the Z3 compact will come in at around $800. Not surprising for such an amazing phone. As might be expected, the Z3 compact runs Android 4.4. This gives you the functionality that you are looking for with your smartphone. It should be noted that the processer is a quad core, with 16 GB of built-in storage and 2048 MB of RAM. The 14 hours of talk time is not as much as you might want, but still good for the size of the phone. This is all powered by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 8974-AC processing chip. Overall, this is an amazing phone and something that should be on the radar.
The Nokia Lumia 820 is another high quality phone that will leave you impressed. The price point is a little lower than the other phones that we have reviewed today at around $600. The phone runs on Windows 8 which will give you a unique take on your smartphone. It should be noted that the resolution is a little lower at 400 x 840 pixels and the pixel density is low at 217 ppi. You might honestly expect more for a phone that costs $600. Also underwhelming is the 1024 MB RAM will leave you wanting more. As well the camera is only 8 megapixels, not particularly impressive for a phone in this price range. The battery offers only 15 hours of talk time, which could leave you hanging. Overall, for the price point this phone underwhelms.
When taking all the phones into consideration, it seems clear that the Sony Xperia Z3 compact is a class above the rest. The Lumia underwhelms in many aspects, which is disappointing for a new Windows phone. The Vibe X2 is a great phone for the price point, but it’s hard to beat the cool factor that a compact phone brings to the table. Overall, you will likely find something in each of these phones that is worthy of attention. With all the offerings available on the market it makes sense to do your homework before you a get a new phone.
