Send

Support for NFC technology is becoming quite common in the world of mobile phones, thanks to the proliferation and development of online payment systems such as Samsung Pay and Android Pay. This is especially true for high-end devices and even many gadgets from the mid-price category. At the moment, the main field of application of this technology for smartphones is contactless payments, in the mode of emulation of a bank card.

We present you a selection of the most the best smartphones with NFC 2018who received high ratings and good reviews from users of Yandex.Market.

10. Huawei P20

Sells for 39 148 rubles.

Unlike previous generations of the P series with metal “bodies,” the P20 has a back cover made of glass. Unfortunately, this change was made only for aesthetics. The main advantage of a glass back, as a rule, is wireless charging. However, Huawei did not include wireless charging in the P20.

The large 5.8-inch LCD screen has rich color reproduction and a good margin of brightness.

The P20 is powered by Huawei's Kirin 970 chipset, which includes a neural processing unit (NPU) designed to work with artificial intelligence (AI). This allows you to use the new features of the dual 12/20 MP rear camera. For example, adjust the image settings depending on which object the camera is looking at. If you don’t like how AI manages, this function can be disabled in the camera settings.

P20 is considered the best smartphone of 2018 in terms of photo quality. In the DxOMark ranking, the model takes 2nd place, second only to the Pro version.

In addition, thanks to NPU and AI, the smartphone can analyze how you use it, and based on this, optimize battery life.

The manufacturer did not spare the built-in memory, its volume is 128 GB. The amount of RAM is 4 GB, as in most devices of the middle price category.

As for the 3400 mAh battery, it will last a day without recharging. If you think you need more, check out the P20 Pro with a 4000 mAh battery.

Pros:

The fingerprint sensor of the P20 is one of the best smartphones in the world. It is not only fast enough, but also accurate enough to always recognize your finger.
One of the best rear cameras that smartphones with NFC 2018 have.

Minuses:

You cannot expand the amount of built-in storage.

9. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

Cost - 32,650 rubles for a model with 256 GB.

In 2016, Xiaomi managed to surprise the world with its huge 6.4-inch, frameless Mi Mix smartphone. In 2017, his successor Mi Mix 2 was released - one of the best frameless smartphones for today. When creating it, Xiaomi took into account past mistakes and made the device more convenient for small palms, and also made some improvements to the main functions.

The 5.99-inch display dominates the front of the phone. The upper, left and right sides of the display have almost no frames (screen to body ratio is 93%), and the sensors and the front camera are placed on the “chin”.

On the rear panel there is a 12 MP camera with a gold edging, a dual LED flash and a fingerprint sensor. The device easily copes with most tasks thanks to the powerful Snapdragon 835 processor, which is paired with 6 GB of RAM and from 64 to 256 GB of internal storage.

The NFC module reads the Troika transport card without any problems, and generally works without any problems.

Mi Mix 2 has a 3400 mAh battery, which is more than enough for the device to work during the day. If you still need to recharge your smartphone during the day, you will be happy to know that the phone supports Qualcomm's Quick Charge.

Pros:

The ceramic exterior of the device looks phenomenal.
Excellent performance in the latest games, in the "heavy" applications.

Minuses:

The main camera can take good photos day and night, but the sound when capturing video leaves much to be desired.
Missing 3.5mm audio jack.

8. Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017)

Price - 18,470 rubles for the version with 2 SIM cards.

One of the best budget Samsung smartphones of 2018 with NFC comes with a 5.2-inch display with an AMOLED matrix. The pixel density is 424ppi, which is not enough to use Samsung Gear VR, but enough for everyday use.

The device has an eight-core processor Exynos 7880 from Samsung, supporting 3 GB of RAM. The key competitor for this chip is Qualcomm Snapdragon 625.

The device works much faster than the Galaxy A5 2016 release, which has less RAM, and only 16 GB of internal memory, and a 2900 mAh battery, rather than 3000 mAh, as in the updated version.

Galaxy A5 (2017) has a bit of flash memory - 32 GB, but it can be "increased" by installing a microSD-card up to 256 GB.

The resolution of the rear camera is 16 megapixels, it has a wide f / 1.9 aperture, which ensures that images shot in low light will not look like Malevich's black square.

Pros:

Excellent value for money.
Bright screen with rich color reproduction.
Small size.
There is a quick charge.

Minuses:

The main camera does not have optical stabilization.

7. Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018)

You can buy for 25,490 rubles for a model with 64 GB.

With the launch of the Galaxy A8, Samsung first gave the mid-range device an 18: 9 aspect ratio screen. The appearance of this 5.6-inch gadget is very similar to the Galaxy S8, but these two smartphones have a different body-to-screen ratio: the A8 has 75.6%, while the S8 has 83.6%.

The Exynos 7885 chip in combination with 4 GB of RAM provides decent, although not the highest speed. At the same time, the device does not overheat even in “heavy” games.

The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, this is enough for a day of intensive work.

Admiration for the work done by Samsung is caused by the dual 16 MP + 8 MP selfie camera of the A8. It has a bokeh effect and offers several options for adjusting the depth of the picture. Thanks to Tetracell technology, the images come out very bright, with a minimum of “noise”.

The main camera is 16 MP with an aperture of F / 1.7. She takes good pictures even in the dark, but lacks optical stabilization.

Pros:

Beautiful exterior.
IP68 certification.
There is a microSD card slot.

Minuses:

The screen glass is easy to scratch.
There may be problems with the Troika card. In this case, it is recommended to upgrade to Android 8.0.

6. Huawei P20 Lite

The average cost is 18,491 rubles.

This 5.84-inch bezel-less smartphone has retained the external charm that its “older brother” possesses and boasts a number of functions that more expensive models do not have.

Huawei transferred the fingerprint scanner, which is located under the P20 display, to the "back" of the phone. This is a good solution, because the scanner is just under the finger when you take Lite.

The Lite model with 64 GB of internal storage supports memory cards up to 256 GB. The amount of RAM is 4 GB.

The P20 Lite has a mid-level Kirin 659 processor. When switching between applications, the smartphone can slow down slightly.

The main dual 16/2 MP camera has natural color reproduction, but its portrait mode is not as impressive as that of the P20. And you cannot shoot 4K videos or Super Slow Motion.

Pros:

There is a 3.5 mm jack.
There is an unlock on the face of the owner.

Minuses:

The battery is only 3000 mAh.

5. Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017)

The average price is 16,990 rubles.

This smartphone is equipped with a 5.5-inch AMOLED display, packed in a rounded all-metal case.

Under the “hood” of the Galaxy J7 is a somewhat outdated Exynos 7870 chip, a 3600 mAh battery, 3 GB of RAM along with 16 GB of flash memory. In a separate tray, you can install MicroSD up to 256 GB.

On the back you will find a 13-megapixel camera with f / 1.7 aperture, specially designed for use in low light conditions. This way, you can take clear photos, even while in a dimly lit room. The front camera also has a resolution of 13 MP.

Pros:

NFC and Samsung Pay work without complaints from users.
Excellent power saving mode.

Minuses:

Many pre-installed programs, "cluttering up" memory.
Outdated micro-USB connector.

4. Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Cost - 59,990 rubles for the version with 256 GB.

Once, DisplayMate experts assigned the Samsung Galaxy S8 the first A + rating in history, and the 6.3-inch Note 8 phablet has even better displays. It is 9% brighter than the Galaxy S8, and will be available for reading even in the Sahara desert at noon in mid-summer.

The smartphone has dust and waterproofing according to the IP68 standard, which means that you can immerse it 1.5 m in water for 30 minutes.

On the rear panel is a dual 12/12 MP camera with an optical Zoom 2x, in which the f / 1.7 wide-angle lens is combined with the f / 2.4 telephoto lens. Both sensors have optical image stabilization. The front camera has been upgraded - from 5 MP to 7 MP, and makes detailed, and good quality pictures even in low light.

The amount of internal memory is from 64 to 256 GB, while the manufacturer still took care of the possibility of installing a memory card.

Samsung's S Pen is a convenient pointing device that you can use to write notes even when the screen is off, create emoji and animated gifs, or make captions for photos.

The Galaxy Note8 chipset will depend on the region in which sales are going. It will be either Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 or its counterpart from Samsung - Exynos 8 Octa 8898M, but in any case it is one of the most powerful smartphones of 2018 in the AnTuTu and GeekBench test.

Pros:

Elegant frameless design.
Performance is one of the best on smartphones with NFC.
The presence of a stylus.

Minuses:

The battery is only 3300 mAh, but it can be charged using fast and wireless charging.

3. Samsung Galaxy S9

The average cost is 55,430 rubles.

Another mobile device with a display size of 5.8 inches in the list of smartphones with the nfc module of 2018. Calling the Galaxy S9 a budget and even mid-price language will not turn around, let alone the 2018 flagship S9 Plus. For its impressive price, the S9 offers many features ranging from wireless charging to an iris scanner.

The main camera in the S9 has been improved over the S8. One of its key features is the ability to record Super Slow-Mo 720p video at 960 frames per second. Sorry, you cannot change the resolution.

The camera lens actually has an adjustable aperture, which varies from f / 1.5 to f / 2.4 depending on the lighting.

Also, Galaxy S9 can use the user's photo to create an animated image from it - AR Emoji.

The processor in S9 is optional - Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810. But the amount of RAM and ROM is unchanged, and is 4/64 GB, respectively.

Pros:

Superb sound thanks to stereo speakers.
You can increase the amount of memory storage.

Top performance.

Minuses:

Low battery capacity - 3000 mAh.

2. Apple iPhone X

Can be purchased for 75 432 rubles in the version with 256 GB.

Apple made it clear: the best iPhone you can get at the moment is not the iPhone 8, and not even its “older brother” iPhone 8 Plus, but the iPhone X (pronounced “ten”). It is not easy to look away from a 5.8-inch bezel-less screen. Its colors are saturated, and the text is easy to read in direct sunlight.

Inside the Apple iPhone X you will find the same A11 Bionic chip as in the G8 and 8 Plus. The performance of the smartphone is excellent, and the latest games are freezing.

A distinctive feature of the iPhone X is the new Face ID (face scanner), which completely replaces Touch ID.

The iPhone X has a dual main camera with OIS: a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens with an aperture of f / 1.8, and another 12-megapixel telephoto lens with a wider aperture - f / 2.4.

Another advantage of the tenth iPhone is the portrait mode and the funny Animoji option in the 7 MP front camera.

The battery life of the iPhone X is highly dependent on what you do. In normal use (social networks, watching videos, few games, etc.) the day will end with a battery charge of about 30 percent.

Pros:

Top cameras.
A design that other manufacturers align with.
Wireless charger.

Minuses:

"Bang" above the screen visually violates its integrity.
High price.

1. Apple iPhone 8

Price - 56,990 rubles for the version with 256 GB.

The presentation of the eighth iPhone went without excitement, all attention went to the frameless, anniversary version.

However, even though the iPhone 8 cannot boast of edge-to-edge design, it has many advantages: lower price compared to the top ten with the same amount of internal memory, the best Apple chip A11 Bionic at the moment and small size (4.7 inches). The screen with True Tone technology has a very wide color gamut and its color temperature is adjustable depending on the ambient light conditions.

The gadget has fast and wireless charging. The rear 12 MP camera with f / 1.8 aperture and optical image stabilization makes excellent shots even in low light conditions. It can record 4K videos at 60 frames per second and slow mo 1080p at 240 frames per second.

Inside the iPhone 8 is a 1821 mAh battery.

Pros:
