When it comes to choosing the optimal smartphone, the train of thought and the algorithm for choosing the female and male half of humanity is somewhat different. If men first of all look at such indicators, RAM, battery capacity, the type of charging connector, the number of cores in the processor, then for women several other characteristics play an important role: the number of millions of pixels in the front and main cameras, the aesthetic beauty of the body and the amount of internal memory.
However, there are several models that girls and women will definitely like. They are reflected in our ranking of the best smartphones for girls and women.

Without a doubt, Apple products have remained the undisputed leader in the mobile technology market for a decade. The iPhone 7 Plus, like the 6S Plus and 6 Plus versions, immediately became a worldwide bestseller.
Indeed, the iPhone 7 Plus is not much different from the 6S Plus and 6 Plus. However, there are still some differences.
First, the iPhone 7 Plus differs from its predecessors with a dual-lens camera, the new A10 Fusion processor, and IP67 water resistance.
Secondly, two new smartphone colors appear: glossy and matte black. The gray color has been replaced with two varieties of black.
Thirdly, the plastic veins of the antennas no longer spoil the aesthetic beauty of the case, because they have become smaller. But this is noticeable only in the dark colors of the case. Silver, gold and pink colors are still complemented by these veins.
The 5.5-inch case is the same size as the 6S Plus.
One new, interesting feature has appeared. The Home button is no longer a button per se. It is now a round sensor that senses the force applied to it. And the innovative Taptic Engine vibration motor, which is built into the body, simulates the response exactly.
The user feels that when using this sensor, it feels like the back panel is pressed down, like a laptop touchpad.
In the settings, you can choose the intensity of the response. There are three such parameters in total.
One of the main advantages of this sensor is that now you do not have to repair a broken Home button.
The iPhone 7 Plus is available in the following colors:
An interesting fact: the red color of the iPhone 7 Plus, which did not appear immediately after the official release of the smartphone, was part of an action to support people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Fortunately, this promotion has spread all over the world, and tens of thousands of people have preferred red to other interesting colors.
The camera of this smartphone deserves special attention.
As you know, it includes two lenses. One lens has a wide angle of view, while the other captures distant objects as if they were somewhat closer.The latest optical zoom has played an important role in this process.
However, there are a few tricks from Apple here. Indeed, in the daytime, photos are incredibly sharp. In the dark, everything is quite the opposite: the camera takes an image on the lens of a wide-angle lens, where the aperture is f / 1.8, while in a long-focus lens, it is f / 2.8. Thus, a photograph is obtained, which in the software is enlarged twice using not optical, but digital zoom. This is why photographs are so different day and night.
Of course, the photo quality of the iPhone 7 Plus is much better compared to the 6S Plus and 6 Plus, and even more so compared to the iPhone 6. However, the market is still dominated by cameras in Samsung's flagships.
One of the advantages of the camera of this smartphone is that there is no need to adjust ISO, aperture, white balance or exposure: the lenses themselves adjust to the situation.
The lack of a headphone jack in this iPhone model was also a wonder to users. The manufacturer assumes that people are ready to buy wireless earbuds. However, for those who are not ready to spend money on smartphone accessories (and the most optimal budget wireless headphones cost from 4 thousand rubles), there are some alternatives.
According to experts and analysts, the battery life of the device was disappointing. Despite the presence of a 4-core processor and 3 gigabytes of RAM, it is practically standard, and the iPhone 7 Plus can play video at maximum brightness with excellent quality for only 4.5 - 5 hours.
However, these are trifles. If you do not go into details and special cases, then the smartphone will have enough charge for one school or working day, but a portable, external battery still would not hurt to have it with you.
There are several types of built-in smartphone memory:
In previous iPhones, there were models and 8, 16, 64 gigabytes, but over time they were removed.
Of course, this flagship from Apple is far from the last place in the Russian market in terms of sales among smartphones. However, as with all products, it has advantages and disadvantages.
Average price: 50,000 rubles.
Smartphone video review:
This phone is a real boon for those who do not want to spend large sums on the purchase of the world famous iPhone.
If you look closely, you will notice that the design of the Meizu MX6 is actually completely copied from the flagship of Apple. Only the Home button was not copied. Firstly, it is not round, but a rectangle with rounded edges. Secondly, it is not a sensor with a vibration motor, but a full-fledged button.
The body of the device is light, thin and pleasant to the touch. Although the phone has a 5.5-inch screen and is difficult to use with one hand, the Meizu MX6 fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The body is made of metal, which does not slip in the hand and is pleasant to the touch.
Of the interesting design and outer shell of the smartphone, it can be noted that it has laminated glass, like the iPhone 6, plastic veins for antennas, which, by the way, do not spoil the appearance at all.
You can also note and 2.5D - glass, curved at the edges, and a fingerprint scanner under the screen. The manufacturer claims that it recognizes the owner's fingerprint in 0.2 seconds. And this is true: the scanner works properly and quickly. On the back panel you can see curved inserts for antennas, a slightly prominent lens, the manufacturer's inscription and a double flash.
In general, the case looks very aesthetically pleasing and beautiful. According to users, it is actually no different from the design of the iPhone, which is true.
In terms of dimensions, Meizu MX6 is similar to an average smartphone: 153 * 75 * 7 mm, and it weighs 153.13 grams, which is comparable to the weight of Huawei Honor 7 or ASUS Zenfone 3.
Despite the fact that the phone is very thin, the build quality is very high. However, there are some almost imperceptible disadvantages: small space between volume controls; difficulties in working with the phone at low temperatures. The manufacturer claims that the smartphone is capable of working properly even at -15 degrees Celsius, but real difficulties come as early as -5 degrees Celsius. The problem lies in the slowdown of the fingerprint scanner and the display, the long pixel response.
Meizu MX 6 is available in several colors:
Useful information!
There may be some difficulties when purchasing this smartphone. Most people, as you know, prefer to buy flagships in online stores, citing the fact that prices are lower there due to the lack of Russian standardization. That is, the phone is brought to the Internet trading platform directly from the country of origin and sold. As you know, Meizu smartphones are imported to the Russian Federation from China, and not from Europe, where they were officially released.Meizu MX6 has two types of these smartphones: with 3 or 4 gigabytes of RAM. Girls who want to buy the Meizu MX6 in Rose Gold will have to choose. Or take a device with 4 gigabytes of RAM, but in any three remaining colors, because in Europe there is no Rose Gold color for this smartphone yet. Or donate one gigabyte of RAM and take the version with 3 gigabytes of RAM, but in pink.
In fact, the lack of one gigabyte of RAM does not affect the performance and battery life of the device at all.
The smartphone display is excellent: 5.5 inches and Full HD screen resolution. Brightness and color reproduction are at the highest level here, you can safely use the device in direct sunlight and in the dark. However, some people think that some colors, namely red and yellow, are somewhat oversaturated. This cannot be changed in the settings, but the drawback is almost invisible.
The camera of the Meizu MX6 is excellent, ideal for taking photos both in the daytime and at night.
The battery life of a smartphone is average, enough for one school or working day.
Notable about this device is that its software consists of Android, veiled under Meizu's own shell, Flyme. The software of the device is very colorful, completely customized for the user. You can change the look of the Flyme shell in the "Themes" section. There are also factory wallpapers in Full HD resolution in different directions:
This smartphone is perfect for girls, because there is something that the beautiful half of humanity loves so much: aesthetic beauty, a wide range of possibilities, beautiful software, an excellent camera.
Average price: 17,000 rubles.
Review-comparison in video:
Another Apple product in this top is the iPhone SE. This device was released in the spring of 2016 and immediately gained popularity.
The main meaning of this release lies in the title: SE = Special Edition. The point of this release is that the internals of the iPhone 6S are housed in an iPhone 5S case. It turns out that the smartphone has a 12 million pixel camera, an Apple A9 processor, a Touch ID fingerprint scanner built into the Home button. And all this is combined with the body of the iPhone 5S, which has a 4-inch screen.
The design of the iPhone SE is completely similar to the iPhone 5S: the back panel is made of aluminum, pleasantly cooling the hand; glass inserts on the sides, ergonomic volume buttons.
Interesting fact!
According to users, the Touch ID used in the SE is significantly slower than the scanner in the iPhone 6S / 6S Plus. But compared to the iPhone 6, it works much faster - a paradox.
The dimensions of the smartphone are clearly not for everybody. On the one hand, the 4-inch display helps you type with one hand, but this can be a problem for people who are used to typing on the phone keypad with other hands. Such a phone will easily fit in your pocket, unlike devices with a display of 5 inches or more.
Also, one cannot but attribute to the positive side of the small screen that such a phone does not fall out of hands. On the other hand, the small screen makes it very difficult to browse the web in a browser, play applications that require high screen resolutions, and watch videos.
However, even with such contradictory dimensions, the iPhone SE found its buyer.
Apple has released several color options for the iPhone SE:
There are also several options for the size of the internal memory of the device:
This smartphone is well suited for the beautiful half of humanity because it has an excellent main camera from the iPhone 6S 12 million pixels, as well as a front camera of 1.2 million pixels. The aesthetic beauty of the case is complemented by nice colors, but the main advantage is its compactness. The smartphone can easily fit into an evening purse or jeans or skirt pocket.
The device's random access memory (RAM) is 2 gigabytes. Despite the fact that previous versions of the iPhone have 3-4 gigabytes of RAM, SE works great autonomously throughout the entire work or school day.
The display of this smartphone perfectly reproduces RGB colors, but it turns a little yellow. This deficiency is generally not noticeable in the sun or during the daytime. It is also possible to shoot a video in 4K quality or in 1080p.
The appearance of IOS has also changed slightly.Unlike other models with 4.7 - 5.5 inch screens, the application icons in the iPhone SE are better arranged, which is good for the overall health of the main menu. This is more convenient, because on such a small display you need to fit 24 application icons and a top menu that shows the general state of the device.
The slot for charging (Lighting) and headphones are still unchanged. Added NFC module to make contactless payments using Apple Pay.
This smartphone will appeal to those girls who value the compactness of the device, long operating time and an excellent camera, as well as convenient contactless payment.
Average price: 19,000 rubles.
Critical smartphone video review:
A good smartphone for a girl can be Meizu Pro 7.
This is one of the few phones in the budget price segment that really surprised. In addition to the familiar working operating system for Meizu, convenient ergonomics and corporate design, the device was distinguished by the presence of a screen on the back.
In addition to the Pro 7 starter version, there is also a Pro 7 Plus version.
There is more screen and battery capacity (3500 milliampere - hours), as well as different screen sizes. The Pro 7 has a 5.2-inch main display, while the Pro 7 Plus has a 5.7-inch display. The screen resolutions also differ: 1920 × 1080 (FullHD) and 2560 × 1400 (WQHD), respectively.
In addition, different versions of the smartphone have different processors. The Pro 7 does not have the best MediaTek Helio P25 processor, which is hardly suitable for pastime in high-performance mobile games. However, it keeps the battery charge for a long time.
The Meizu Pro 7 Plus has a more powerful processor, which is quite suitable for such tasks. Most likely, the girl will not be very noticeable in the difference in processors, so you shouldn't evaluate these two phones based solely on the technical characteristics of the built-in processor.
For purchase Meizu Pro 7 is available in four colors:
The last color scheme came out a little later than the official release of the device, so there are no gray colors in the factory photos.
The amount of internal memory is the same for all Pro 7 - 64 gigabytes.
Meizu Pro 7 Plus, in turn, is also available in four colors:
As you can see, neither one nor the second version of the smartphone is released in the delicate pink color Rose Gold, unlike the same Meizu Pro 6 Plus or Meizu MX6.
However, this is not a problem - red, silver and gold colors will delight a beautiful lady no less than the color of rose gold!
Photo quality has improved markedly in the Pro 7 version over its predecessors in this series, the Pro 6 and Pro 6 Plus. Both at night and during the day the camera is able to function perfectly thanks to the built-in image stabilization and dual cameras. The camera with a potential of 12 million pixels is also capable of taking photos with high-quality blurred backgrounds.
Several photography modes are available:
Users were also pleased with the absence of the notorious built-in image editor in portrait mode, which changes the face in the photo beyond recognition.
In terms of photo quality, the Pro 7 can compete with the iPhone 6S or iPhone 7, which is an excellent indicator.
The screen on the back of the smartphone can perform several functions:
This feature is great for saving battery power, because the screen is not more than five inches, but only 1.9 inches.
This innovation will definitely appeal to girls, because they can take photos with two main cameras and see the resulting image on the secondary display. By the way, Meizu Pro 7 differs from other smartphones in that usually two cameras can photograph someone or something, but not yourself. Meizu has corrected this flaw.
In addition, if a representative of the beautiful half of humanity loves to listen to music, then Meizu Pro 7 is the best choice for her. The smartphone is equipped with an audio chip, thanks to which the sound produced by the phone is superior in quality to other smartphones on the market in the middle price segment. All that remains is to buy high-quality headphones, and you can truly enjoy pleasant music.
The Pro 7 was not deprived of the fingerprint scanner. It is integrated into the front panel multifunction button.
This smartphone is equipped perfectly, in a box made of matte material with a technological device. The package contains
It is permissible to buy this smartphone in online stores, because Russian standardization is not at all necessary for Asian flagships. In addition, prices on online trading platforms are lower and there is a flexible system of bonuses and gifts when buying a certain amount.
This flagship from the Asian company Meizu will be an excellent choice for a modern girl. Unusual design, excellent technical characteristics, various useful photography modes, long battery life of the device make this flagship one of the best smartphones in its price segment.
Average price: 25,000 rubles.
Professional video review of the smartphone:
Another smartphone from Apple, which is most often chosen by girls. For the first time in a long time, this smartphone is made of glass to support wireless charging.Everyone is used to aluminum phones, but the glass looks unusual.
The smartphone is released in three colors:
Girls are likely to be attracted to silver and gold colors. They look unusual and attractive for the first time in a long time. This is the first and one of the main reasons why you should choose the iPhone 8 and its modification iPhone 8 Plus.
Inside the smartphone is a new high-performance processor manufactured by Apple. It is completely sufficient for any tasks that can be assigned to a smartphone at the present time. Thanks to this, the camera began to shoot much better. All thanks to the post-processing of the images.
Plus, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus have the best camera ever on a smartphone. Such conclusions were made by technical bloggers and photography professionals after repeated tests. The iPhone 8 is clearly the best device for mobile photography. The portrait mode on the 8 Plus will help you capture many interesting shots from the front camera.
Another new feature of the smartphone is wireless charging. Now you don't have to worry about finding a charging outlet and just place your phone on the charging surface.
It is worth paying attention to Apple branded charging. It was released in 2018 and will be able to charge 3 devices at once: a smartphone, an Apple Watch smartwatch and Airpods headphones.
The smartphone screen is even better compared to the 7th generation iPhone. There is a new feature that keeps your eyes from getting tired. It adjusts the brightness and white balance of the smartphone to the environment. This makes the eyes much easier.
In the end, we can say that the differences with the iPhone 7 are not so great, so changing the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus to 8 or 8 Plus is a rather controversial decision. But if you have an old smartphone, it is better to pay attention to this particular model.
Average price: 55,000 rubles.
Review of new items - in the video:
One of the newest smartphones in this ranking. It is in this device that Samsung has collected all the latest technologies and the latest trends in the world of smart gadgets and set the direction for many other companies.
The first thing that this smartphone can captivate a girl is design. The screen occupies almost the entire front surface of the display. There are only two inserts on the top and bottom of the smartphone. The upper frame houses the earpiece, the front camera and the light sensor, combined with the indicator of incoming notifications. The bottom frame of the smartphone is completely empty.
The screen is made using AMOLED technology, has a diagonal of 5.8 inches (6.2 inches in the S8 + version) and a resolution of 2960 × 1440.
The screen is extremely beautiful and delightful.
This is primarily due to the bezel-less display. The back is made of glass, in the upper part of the back there is a camera peephole, a flash and a fingerprint scanner. Reaching it is not convenient, but not always necessary.
This is how the second unique feature of the smartphone appears. Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + have a face scanner and a retina scanner. In the first case, you need to look at the smartphone screen and it will come out of the locked state at almost the same speed as when using a fingerprint scanner.
Many are scared by the fact that the smartphone can be unlocked with a photo (if someone wants to use this bad method). In this case, there is a retina scanner that works, although it takes longer, but it will not work with a photo. In this way, you can unlock your smartphone in complete darkness (when you cannot use a face scanner).
The smartphone also has protection against water, which cannot be overlooked. The device has a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and USB Type-C is used for charging, thanks to which there is support for fast charging. The battery is 3500 mAh, it lasts 18-19 hours of active use of the smartphone.The performance is high, the S8 is equipped with the most powerful processor from Qualcom, the Snapdragon 835. There are also versions with the Exynos 8895, which is also powerful and efficient. RAM 4 gigabytes, built-in 64 gigabytes.
This parameter can be expanded with a memory card up to 256 gigabytes, but it will not be possible to insert a second SIM, since the slot is hybrid, and you have to choose.
All this allows you not to worry about performance now and for the next couple of years.
One of the main advantages for a girl is a good camera, and here Samsung did not fail. The front camera has a resolution of 8 million pixels, auto focus and good aperture. This combination allows you to take good pictures indoors or in dark places.
The main camera also takes very good pictures. It has a resolution of 12 million pixels and DualPixel technology. The camera has a built-in memory, so it can take 3 pictures at once and choose the best from them, making one clear and good frame.
Such an excellent combination of technical characteristics of the camera will allow the fair sex to regularly post beautiful pictures on social networks.
The smartphone does not have standard colors designed for girls, but other unusual color schemes can also attract them. There are currently 5 colors of the Samsung Galaxy S8:
The package bundle of the smartphone should also be noted. In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S8, the kit includes a charger that supports fast charging, a USB Type-C cable, a headset from the well-known AKG company, an adapter from USB Type-C to microUSB, an adapter from USB Type-C to USB.
Average price: 45,000 rubles.
Video feedback on using a smartphone:
The smartphone looks like a classic Sony device. The company does not want to abandon its design for the sake of trends.
The body of the device is made of a single metal plate. The transitions between the edge and the lid are as smooth and almost invisible as possible. The front panel houses stereo speakers, a front camera and a light sensor with a notification indicator. From the buttons there is a backlash of volume control and a long wide power button with a built-in fingerprint. Good news for underwater enthusiasts is the camera's shutter button that lets you take underwater shots.
All these buttons are located on the right side of the device, and on the left there is a slot for nano-SIM and a microSD memory card, in which, if desired, you can put a SIM instead of a memory card.
The smartphone is charged via the USB Type C (3.1) connector. There is also a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The smartphone screen is mesmerizing: 5.2 inches HDR display with Full HD resolution. The contrast and saturation of the matrix is excellent, everything is visible in the sun and all colors are pleasing to the eye. The smartphone screen has many unique Sony exclusive technologies, so there is no doubt about the image quality. The main features are the same as the S8.
The camera has a nice and clear application. The quality of images both on the front and on the main camera is high. Thanks to HDR technology, good shots are obtained even in low light conditions, there is also support for slow motion, and the slowdown is much stronger than it is possible to do with an iPhone or Galaxy. The smartphone also boasts premium video quality.
But few girls will actually look at characteristics. The smartphone is beautiful and attractive, which makes you buy it.
This device was released in several colors:
Average price: 24,000 rubles.
A detailed review of the smartphone - in the video clip:
Mi6 is very similar in some features to iPhone 7.However, it differs in its cost, and for the better. It combines flagship hardware and features at a reasonable price.
The body is made of glass, which readily collects fingerprints and can easily break if it falls out of the hand. But, thanks to the rounded edges, it does not slip out and it is more than comfortable to hold it.
Like many now, the smartphone is protected according to the IP65 standard, but the manufacturer does not recommend experimenting with water. But the smartphone will still withstand splashes, rain and falling into water. Xiaomi dropped the audio jack and propose to use USB Type-C. But with the development of wireless headphones, this is no longer a problem.
The IPS 5.15 display with FullHD resolution is durable and rounded at the edges. Color reproduction and brightness are fine. The bezels are smaller than in older Xiaomi smartphones.
The processor is the best, Snapdragon 835, and it's not worth talking about performance, Qualcomm's flagship copes with all games and applications perfectly. 6 gigabytes of RAM go well with this processor, this amount of memory does not allow the smartphone to slow down.
The smartphone's camera is good, and photos from both the main and front cameras are of high quality and clear. The front camera has a resolution of 8 million pixels and can record video in 1080p resolution. The main camera has a resolution of 12 million pixels (Sony IMX386, f / 1.8, 4K recording), and there is also an f / 2.6 telephoto lens. There is support for HDR, which makes images more detailed and vivid.
The smartphone is available in several colors:
Average price: 32,000 rubles.
More details about the advantages and disadvantages of a smartphone in the video:
For a long time, HTC has not released something interesting. The latest smartphones were very strange, so the public did not receive them very well. Therefore, the company decided to rethink the look of its smartphones. The glass case looks nice, but it needs to be wiped clean all the time. Whether the beauty is worth the constant need to wipe the smartphone is a buyer's decision.
The U11 has managed not to take on the main trend this year - a bezel-less display. The smartphone has thick bezels, which makes it inconvenient to use the device with one hand. The 5.5-inch display with an aspect ratio of 16: 9 and a resolution of 2560 × 1440 looks very chic and rich. The maximum brightness is low, but everything is clearly visible even in the sun. The white balance is finely calibrated. Night mode helps your eyes not to get tired at night. The display is covered with Gorilla Glass 5. It is worth noting that the U11 is protected according to the IP67 standard and can withstand immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
The battery is a controversial point, it is 3000 mAh, which is quite small relative to the demanding 2K IPS display. By the evening, the smartphone must be put on charge. If a girl actively uses a smartphone, then during the day she will have to charge it using a portable battery.
The capacities of the U11 are inferior to many, it has an eight-core Snapdragon 835 with an Adreno 540 video accelerator. Here is the most powerful processor from Snapdragon, there is nothing to complain about. The RAM of the device depends on the model: 4 gigabytes of RAM with U11 for 64 gigabytes of memory and 6 gigabytes of RAM in the model with 128 gigabytes of internal memory.
HTC has done a great job on the camera, it is currently the best camera in smartphones in this price segment. Installed sensor 12 million pixels UltraPixel 3 with a pixel size of 1.4 microns, optics with an aperture of f / 1.7.
There is optical stabilization. Everything is focused with UltraSpeed Autofocus technology, so the U11 is instantly focused. The camera remains good at night. Definitely one of the best cameras in HTC smartphones. Video is recorded in resolution up to 4K, and the main feature of video recording is acoustic focus.
The sound in the new flagship is excellent, with two speakers at the top and bottom. A smartphone can easily replace a small speaker.
It is worth paying attention to the lack of a 3.5 mm audio jack.But there is a good reason for this. It is a USonic tuning system and active noise cancellation. A nice bonus is the AKG headphones with isolation of extraneous sounds that come with the kit.
An unusual feature of the U11 is also the pressure sensing technology. But, unlike the 3D Touch technology in the iPhone, the sensors are built into the side edges. When you press, you can turn on the camera, open the application, or use the ProntScreen function. HTC has done something new and interesting.
Thus, this smartphone combines excellent performance, good sound and a better camera, as well as not everyone needs Edge Sence technology and a small battery. There are both good and controversial moments, but the U11 will definitely appeal to girls and women.
Average price: 32,000 rubles.
Professional opinion about the model - in the video:
The smartphone market offers a huge number of flagships for every taste and color. However, it is still possible to single out some of the absolute leaders described in the article. Nevertheless, every girl will be able to find a device for herself, in accordance with her tastes and preferences.
