Prices <-! - noindex>

Let’s start with official prices. At the start of sales of the recommended retail price of all three devices made up 60 thousand. Rubles. And it changed only by Samsung – Galaxy Note 5 for asking is now 57,990 rubles (the price is taken from the Samsung branded retail network). LG V10 will cost you 59 990 rubles (these figures were announced at the company store LG), odnosimochny Sony Xperia Z5 Premium costs 58,990 rubles, and dvuhsimochny Xperia Z5 Premium Dual estimated at Sony Store 59 990 rubles. That is, Galaxy Note 5 is the most affordable of the three.

Independent retailers do not hesitate to adjust the value at its sole discretion, which often benefit from the buyers. However, in the case of Note 5 and Z5 Premium economy will not be – viewed by us “The Messenger”, “M.Video” and DNS adhere to the recommended prices. But lucky for those who tuned in to the official LG V10. It is in “The Messenger” and “M.Video” is 52,990 rubles, which is 7 thousand. Less of the official price.

If you close your eyes to the origin of the goods and, as a consequence, warranty, packaging, volume internal memory (V10 and Note 5 may be with 32 and 64 GB), and the number of SIM (Note 5 in Russia is only one Simcoe, but can be purchased dvuhsimnik, though not for our market), according to “of Yandex.Market », LG V10 in the average price of 51,110 rubles (by 46,590), Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to 64 GB – 56 768 rubles (by 47.7 thousand), Sony Xperia Z5 Premium – 56 990 rubles (49 450). It turns out that in the case of the consideration of “Seryakov” most favorable price now LG V10.

Package LG V10 for Russia includes <- - /> noindex!>: Charging, USB cable, documentation, battery and headphones QuadBeat 3 configured AKG. Some market lucky. They were shares in which V10 buyers getting any free microSD memory card from SanDisk’s 200 GB, an extra battery 3000 mAh battery and a charging cradle. Very bold and enticing bonus, I think.

In the past Sony spoiled buyers charging docking station, high-quality headsets with noise reduction and even NFC-tags when NFC technology has just appeared. Today, the Russian office of Sony Mobile austerity. By purchasing the Xperia flagship, you will find only in the charging box, USB cable, but a stack of paper for recycling (internal battery). Some markets are sets with a headset, but this is not about our honor

In the box with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 buyers find the following set:. USB cable, headset, charger, documentation, needle to remove the SIM tray, electronic pen S pen (internal battery). In general, everything is standard, except for the stylus -. But this feature Note 5

If the Russian office of LG insisted to officially delivered to us V10 came with a memory card, a second battery and charger dock, it is, in the eyes of many buyers, certainly lived up to atypically high price for LG’s flagship. However, Bun passed us. In general, the kits from LG and Samsung are standard, and the content and design of Sony Xperia Z5 Premium boxes in no way justifies the name of “premium”. . Components of almost any ordinary “Chinese” for 10 thousand rubles will be richer than the Z5P

Design. <-! noindex -> <-! /> Noindex ->

The design is perhaps the most subjective element in the consideration of any device. Therefore, in the description of the appearance will be brief – all three phones look chic, expensive. Location of some elements you can see in the photos describe them to anything.

More focus on comfort and practicality. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium is made in the Sense of Unity concept (but we know that it’s just a renamed and teeth on edge OmniBalance). Phone symmetric and organic. The color “mirror chrome” device is very effective and it looks fantastic. But only in the first few minutes after opening the box. Alas, the mirror surface, instead of the selected matte and the Z5 Z5 Compact, tends to instantly covered with fingerprints and stains. But this can be tolerated, if regularly cleaned back (oleophobic layer is present). But the scratches will not do. During the month of use Z5 Premium as the primary phone back side has received dozens of micro-scratches and about five large scratches (from 5 mm to 2 cm), visible easily. If the owner does not use the carrying case and protective films, glass, then after a while will be torn question “wipe the glass, so that it was clean, or leave as is, so as not to see most of the scratches?”. Personally, I strongly advise you to put on the back side of the protective glass (make on eBay, set on the front and back costs 250 rubles). I did initially, and now I regret

At the Xperia Z5 Premium small frame and padding to diagonal dimensions 5.5. “Adequate (although could be less – look at the 5,7″ Galaxy Note 5) . Telephone, rectangular bar, not bad lies in his hands, does not slip. But there are some unpleasant moments. Firstly, over the glass tower bumpers designed to prevent scratches when in contact with the table. Based on my sample tailpiece, they are not particularly helpful. But they cut his hand be healthy. Secondly, the volume rocker got quite improper location. Against the background of even the rear key-top look at the LG reasonableness. What should be done? Yes, just move them to the left edge, if right in the center of a new power button located with the finger scanner. Third, symmetrical device with the touch the same surfaces difficult to get right without looking. Previously, orient the device in his hand somehow helped a button bulging power, and now it is flat and is nearly flush with the body. But even if you hit upon the button with your thumb (if you use a handheld device with your right hand), that is, do not take it upside down, it does not guarantee that the device is taken correctly – it can lie in the hand backwards. Frankly, hitches with the search for the correct grip case, I have almost every night when you try to turn on the flashlight on the way to the bedroom. By the arrangement of the side of the finger scanner to quickly get used to it, though, and consider it convenient I did not get. I will say more – I do disabled this feature in a couple of weeks, since even five goals fingerprint of one finger is not able to provide high read accuracy. Scanner LG V10 and especially Samsung Galaxy Note 5 not much better.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 too, all glass and metal. And it is also easy to damage and scratch – covers, film, it will not interfere with the protective glass. Unlike Japanese Korean unit is not as easily soiled, but also prints stick to it – just on a solid mirror they are noticeable. The rear part is rounded in Note 5, whereby the device is handy. In terms of usability between the Xperia Z5 Premium and Galaxy Note 5 can put an equal sign, but for convenience the brainchild of Samsung definitely better. Those who suddenly remembered the dedicated camera key in the Xperia, I would say that Galaxy Note 5 camera less than a second run by double-pressing the “Home” button. A separate camera button longer for anything is no good. Want to shoot under water at Z5 Premium? So forget. Although moisture protection standard IP68, the Japanese company guarantees protection only from rain and accidental drops – wash under the tap and dipping phone recently pool prohibited (no one will forbid to carry out all these procedures, but the manufacturer no longer guarantees anything – dare?) .

Who said that the flagship shall be made of glass? LG is given this question is not the first year, burned on the Nexus 4 and Optimus G. After experimenting with natural leather and thread in the G4 model V10 was created with an eye to practicality and security. The result is a secure enclosure with steel inserts on the sides (316L) and a lid with a silicone coating having a pattern for improved grip. According to LG, V10 conforms to MIL-STD810G – as part of the certification model has withstood multiple drops at different angles from a height of 1.2 m LG V10 does not need to cover, it is not glass sissy.. However, the price to pay for increased reliability steel dimensions – V10 much larger opponents, and plays its width in particular against the ergonomics. Dimensions LG V10 constitute 159,6 x 79,3 x 8,6 mm to 153,2 x 76,1 x 7,6 mm for Galaxy Note and 5 154,4 x 75,8 x 7,8 mm at the Xperia Z5 Premium . change the volume buttons, power button and the scanner in it are behind. Location outside the box, but the usual. In addition to blocking and razblokirovaki can use double tap – it reduces the need for cooperation with the back button. And yet, in spite of shockproof and so on, a metal ring at the V10 camera will overwrite the table.

I really liked the LG approach. Although I can not name a V10 design ideal. I guess I would prefer to form Samsung Galaxy Note 5 of the body (keeping the keys below the screen – they do not eat workspace) with a practical and elegant backdrop V10 ends Xperia Z5 Premium. In general, I choose Frankenstein

Screen. <-! noindex -> <-! /> Noindex ->

The screen – one of the most important parts smartphone, because it is through the user interacts with the phone. And three of our producers really tried. Galaxy Note 5 dispensed with curved display like Galaxy S6 edge +, but it uses the most advanced Super AMOLED-panel with a diagonal of 5.7 “and a resolution of QHD (2560 x 1440 pixels). The screen is made by PenTile technology, which is why a high value of density of pixels per inch (515 ppi) does not seem so impressive, although more than enough for comfortable use. The deep black color, the highest viewing angles, varying over a wide range brightness and accurate color reproduction with multiple color schemes to suggest settings display one of the best. Not to mention the fact that the Super AMOLED, by tradition, have low power consumption. Especially in front of the Galaxy Note 5 I like the presence of the hardware buttons below the display, which does not eat up a workspace – all 5.7 “at your disposal. Touch keys have large touch zones and the mechanical button with accurate and fast fingerprint scanner offers virtually instant start-up camera from any problem (double-click on the button and the camera is ready to shoot). The only disadvantage of the touch buttons that can not be configured to switch off their light. However, this helps to understand nuance Galaxy Button Lights app.

One of the chips LG V10 became an additional 2.1 “screen, located on the 5.7″ core. In fact, the phone uses a panel with a segment cut out by double frontalku, but for convenience we will assume that there are two display (after all, they have different functionality). Make sure that the panel is one, you can simply phone in his hand out of it at different angles, with different backgrounds and with different levels of brightness. The main segment operates at a resolution of 2560 X 1440 pixels, an additional – 160 x 1040 pixels. The picture is very clear, pleasant colors, a black color is good (not the AMOLED, but still), the viewing angles are good for the IPS. The fact that the display is in this case produced by IPS technology, involving the lighting is more minuses than pluses. For additional panel present to always display useful information, and therefore, the entire large screen (5.7 “+ 2.1″) is always active, even with minimum brightness. In standby mode, it is not very good effect on energy consumption. Whether there OLED-matrix, the information could be deduced simply turn on a given pixel. Although I can not say that the V10 in idle mode is different somehow zhorom. At the same time, I note that two samples V10 were in my hands, and I advise buyers to carefully examine the screen before you buy, because one device with the naked eye can be seen glare of the matrix in the upper left corner of the overlay. Unpleasant moment on the phone for 60 thousand. Rubles.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5, LG V10, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium was the first the world of smartphones with a screen resolution of 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels). And before the actual phone samples into the hands of ordinary users and professional reviewers, all vividly discussed on the subject of the picture quality, power consumption, the impact of such a high-resolution performance, and usefulness to 4K on the phones. I’ll start with the most obvious: 4K smartphones today – it’s marketing. Sony itself has driven into the trap of using such an advanced matrix and then pile up a bunch of restrictions. It was found that although the display 4K, but most of the problems the software grants permission Full HD. High-resolution mode is active only when you view photos and videos (if you do not say that everything in 4K, you would of never guessed it), and the interface, applications and games are displayed in the usual 1080p. And therein lies a serious problem, which simply negates the main advantage of 4K – ultra-high definition (806 ppi). Interface fact rendered in Full HD, and then stretched in the banal 4K. The result of this manipulation, interpolation becomes a blur individual elements (especially icons and some fonts – they look dull). Therefore, taking in one hand 5,5 “Sony Xperia Z5 Premium with 4K, and in another – some 5,5″ Full HD-phone (in my case – OnePlus 2) you will notice that a competitor interface Z5 Premium more clear.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and OnePlus 2

The screen is very bright Z5P own, juicy and uglasty, but not without flaws. In particular, the color temperature is too cold. To adjust invited to go to the settings and adjust the three RGB sliders, but I’m afraid, with all such manipulations will be even worse, because a few users will be able to achieve the right balance. Why not make a few presets (neutral, warm, cool), or to implement a slider, as is done at the opponents? The Sony believe that people are at hand is colorimeters? Another drawback lies in the very matrix used 4K.
