TOP 10 best smartphones with the best signal reception: 2021 quality rating and which model to choose

The quality of communication depends largely not only on the network coverage radius of the operator.
Not all even flagship models are capable of maintaining signal stability. Many of them, as soon as they leave the city, almost immediately lose contact. How to choose the right smartphone with good reception?

To help answer this question, we've compiled a ranking of the best options with high-quality signal reception.

The selection of models was carried out based on user reviews and expert opinions, as well as taking into account purchase statistics from Rosstat.

In our rating you will find only leaders in price/quality ratio.

Rating of the TOP 10 best smartphones with good signal reception of 2021

HUAWEI P20

Which smartphone is the best and can catch the network in remote areas? Maybe HUAMEI P20?

The phone costs in the range from 30 to 37 thousand rubles.

What made you happy?

• battery;
• camera;
• ergonomics;
• connection quality;
• size.

What upsets buyers?

• price.

What will experts say about the device? The phone works great in poor signal conditions. Both SIM cards have good reception quality.

The type of work they do varies, but you will never miss an important phone call or SMS message. There were no delays in receiving messages.

For thirty-five thousand rubles, the manufacturer is obliged to provide a high level of signal reception quality. But it’s worth paying attention to the nineteen-hour conversation. Some smartphones offer you to talk for more than a day.

How to choose a smartphone with good signal reception?

First you need to know what frequencies are used by your operator and in your region . These frequencies must match the capabilities of the smartphone. You should also study the operator's coverage area - even the most powerful gadgets will not be able to receive a signal where it simply does not exist.

The presence of a metal frame improves the quality and durability of gadgets, but also affects signal reception.

A kind of “tin foil hat” works here - aluminum does not conduct wireless signals well and degrades the quality of communication. Therefore, plastic options are becoming more acceptable.

Alcatel 1X 5059D

A budget smartphone worth six thousand rubles. I wonder what the manufacturer offers for that amount?

Pros of the model:

• price;
• dimensions;
• Internet works well

Disadvantages of the model:

• The antenna outside the city has poor reception;
• battery;
• The network disappears in the elevator or subway.

To sum it up, the phone is clearly not designed for those who move frequently. According to reviews, the phone is good for urban areas, with the exception of underground passages and the metro. If you are driving a car in a tunnel, there is a risk of missing a call or not hearing important information from the interlocutor.

It's not a good idea to accept a call if you walk into the entrance and have already pressed the elevator button. The conversation may not take place.

Which company should you choose?

The list of leaders in signal quality is headed by:

• Xiaomi is a popular brand from China that produces not only high-quality gadgets in terms of technical parameters and design. Many models are adapted for Russian mobile networks and are equipped with signal amplifiers, so there is no doubt about the quality of communication with them;
• Samsung is a leader in many areas, and they do not lag behind in the quality of the received signal. Of course, the best performance is provided by flagship models, however, simpler budget options often turn out to be of no less quality in terms of communication.

conclusions

, several characteristics deserve special attention

• battery life : the larger the battery capacity, the longer the smartphone can work without recharging;
• memory capacity : in order to install all the necessary applications and not be afraid that there will not be enough space for all the photos, it is advisable to have a reserve of at least 64 GB;
• support for Google services : for those who love classic applications, support for Google services is necessary, otherwise it will be impossible to use, for example, WhatsApp;
• Dimensions and weight: the smartphone should fit comfortably in your hand and not slip.

Samsung Galaxy A32

Price : 17,990 rub.
A smartphone with a 5000 mAh battery will withstand your hard work throughout the day, and a 15 W AC adapter will fully charge the battery in 2 hours 15 minutes. Since the smartphone has a powerful MediaTek Helio G80 processor, it will be a valuable find for gamers.

The carefully calibrated screen delivers rich colors and brightness reaches 800 nits, so you can communicate comfortably even in direct sunlight.

If you decide to read, then good news for you - the Samsung Galaxy A32 smartphone has an eye protection mode that reduces eye strain.

What affects the connection quality of a smartphone?

The reason for a poor connection may be related not only to the operator, as many are accustomed to thinking, but also to the mobile device itself. Let's consider the main nuances:

• There are several communication standards. GSM, for example, operates in the range of 900 and 1800 MHz, LTE (4G) - in several at once, and the ultra-modern telecommunications standard 5G has just begun to develop. The lower the frequency, the better the signal penetrates walls and the greater the “range” of terminals and base stations.
• With the support of a full set of standards, the speed and quality of communication will be “limping”.
• You should choose a mobile device adapted for a specific market: the access point will be checked, the settings for the network will be set, and SIM cards of different operators will be checked in advance. Therefore, you should be more careful with “gray” devices.
• It is impossible to say which operator is the best, since at different points the same one can be both bad and good.

realme 6 Pro

Price : 20,990 rub.
The manufacturer of this smartphone has something to be proud of. realme 6 Pro has on board fast charging (up to 100% in 1 hour), smooth and clear images thanks to the 90 Hz screen, dual front camera and an unparalleled network signal. The 90Hz refresh rate prevents stuttering and stuttering.

Users noted the advantages of having NFS, thanks to which you can make contactless payments, and Google services. The smartphone is quite fast, and thanks to the high-quality camera you can take many memorable pictures. Another undeniable plus is the screen, which is pleasing to the eye.

For reference: Realme is a competitor to Xiaomi and Redmi. The young company has become another breakthrough in the technology market, offering customers budget and high-quality smartphones. Its popularity is increasing every year.

No. 9 – Honor 7C

Price: 10,990 rubles

Honor 7C with a rather primitive appearance has at its disposal a 5.7-inch matrix with a resolution of 1440x720 pixels, as well as a Snapdragon 430 as a processor. Memory configuration – 3/32 GB. Autonomy is the prerogative of the 3000 mAh battery. The main camera is double, represented by a combination of 13 and 2 MP sensors. The front lens is 8 megapixel. The gadget works in all modern communication standards.

Honor 7C, which is on the border of the entry-level and mid-price segment, is an interesting model. Firstly, there is a very good 5.7-inch screen and don’t be put off by the low resolution, because despite this, the image detail is excellent. The second advantage is good performance, although the Snapdragon 430 is not the most modern solution, but for most users it will be enough. Also a nice bonus is the presence of NFC.

Honor 7C

vivo X50

Price : 44,990 rub.
In use, the vivo X50 device evokes only positive emotions in almost all buyers, and for good reason. The smartphone boasts an AMOLED screen, a nice design (which is also important for many), a powerful battery (holds a charge for 2 days), fast charging and reliable network signal reception.

Since the smartphone has a clear interface, even a child can understand it. In addition, there is a powerful processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 730) and 8 GB of internal memory on board. Communication supports the 4G standard (with future prospects), and the model also has a function for contactless payment and Wi-Fi.

No. 4 – Nokia 7 Plus

Price: 28,000 rubles

Nokia 7 Plus with an aluminum body and a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 2160 by 1080 pixels is located one step away from the pedestal. In addition, the flagship is interesting with a Snapdragon 660 processor, a dual camera with 12 and 13 MP lenses and a front camera with a 16 MP sensor resolution. Memory configuration – 4/64 GB.

First of all, Nokia 7 Plus is interesting for its design. The market situation is such that most gadgets have a similar appearance, which is why this model stands out so much among them. Putting aesthetics aside, we note that the hardware component is also quite good. The presence of a not-so-fast chipset in the flagship is a bit confusing, but otherwise there are no complaints.

Nokia 7 Plus

No. 3 – Honor 10

Price: 27,000 rubles

Honor 10, released in late spring of this year, is equipped with a top-end Kirin 970 processor, 4 GB of RAM and built-in memory of 64 or 128 GB, depending on the configuration.
