Google muscle its game and is equal to the best
Special year for Google.After a (successful) foray into the middle of the range with its Pixel 5, it delivers in the subject of the Pixel 6 Pro a formidable entry on the premium segment.Comfortable in all areas, we will only blame him for his somewhat sad design - only the black and gray color is offered in France.
An impressive photophone
The Pixel 6 Pro differs from competition on several points.But the most important concerns its processor and photo configuration.
First, the Pixel 6 Pro is equipped with a Google Tensor chip.This is the very first designed internally, and it changes the situation both in terms of performance and the image processing speed.The impact immediately felt in photography: thanks to the new 50 megapixel sensor ultra -bright, we have never seen such beautiful photos on a smartphone.And this, in all situations.

Smartphone: answers to all your questions
How to choose your smartphone?
Before entering the specifics of your uses and seeing which model can answer them, you must first define your budget for the acquisition of a smartphone.It is normal to expect better performance of a smartphone at 1000 € compared to a smartphone model at 100 €.Once the products in hand, we see that the logic is well respected.The most expensive products are more fluid, more reactive.However, the most affordable models are far from slow.The time when "cheap" rimed with "slow" seems over.An excellent thing allowed by the always advanced optimization of iOS and Android, and to the increase in the power of the chips integrated in our phones.
So why choose a more expensive model?The difference will be felt mainly in certain specific uses such as recording videos in 4K, or in the most gourmet 3D games of the Play Store.The most expensive phones are also distinguished by the frequency of refreshing their screen (90 or 120 Hz against 60 Hz for other models), which strengthens this overall printing of the phone.
How do you know if a smartphone has a good photo quality?
If there is one area where price differences are felt much more, it is that of the quality of photo sensors.If the number of sensors with which the smartphone is equipped is a guarantee of versatility, it is in no way a guarantee of quality.So don't let yourself be impressed by the 4 or 5 photo sensors of a € 200 model, without looking at it.The best is still to consult our full tests on Clubic.
Concretely, the most expensive mobiles have better photo sensors, and much more software processing than entry -level models.The quality of night photos is the last bastion of high -end mobiles that use it as a mass argument to justify (among other qualities) their price difference.If you want the ultimate in photo sensors on mobile, you will have to break your piggy bank.
In favorable light conditions, all our smartphones are now capable of taking excellent photos.But if there is one point on which the high -end models stand out from the others, it is on that of the night photo.In this little game, the mobiles that we call "ultra-premium" clearly stand out from the competition.A specific use which is far from rare.We all ended up in the evening with poor quality photos, because the lighting was not optimal and that our phone simply did not hold the distance.
The best mobiles to capture night photos are counted today on the fingers of one hand.These are generally 700 or more models.They take advantage of a night mode taking advantage of several sensors, a longer exhibition time, and a very advanced software optimization.So much so that some smartphones are capable of capturing brighter shots than the human eye cannot perceive.If the night photo is an important criterion for you, you now know what to expect.
What storage capacity to aim for my smartphone?
Brands offering cheap smartphones must save on several points.Storage capacity is a.If the models sold with 16 GB of storage are becoming increasingly rare, there are still some.The 32 GB models are more frequent on the entry level, but are also filled very quickly, especially with the place already occupied by the OS.Fortunately, these models almost always have a location for a microSD card, which will therefore be necessary to buy separately.
From 64 GB of storage, we start to be already more comfortable, especially if you choose storage services in the cloud like Dropbox, One Drive or Google One.As always, it is your uses that determine your needs.If you play a lot on your mobile and capture 4K videos, we recommend a smartphone with 128 GB of storage at least.
What autonomy can I expect from my smartphone?
The more we pay your dear smartphone, the more we expect it to push the limits in all areas.This is unfortunately not the case in terms of autonomy.Admittedly, there are high -end models with very good autonomy, but the less expensive models generally do better on this level.But then, how do you explain it Jamy?Explanations in the following paragraph.
The explanation is actually quite logical.The most affordable smartphones are equipped with less powerful and therefore less energy -consuming processors.Their screen definition can also be less important than that of high -end models.However, their battery capacity is often equal to or greater than that of high -end models.The calculation is therefore quick to do, the entry and mid -range mobiles have, overall, a higher autonomy in high -end models.
Our buying guides for the best smartphones per price range:
Which smartphone brand to choose?
We all have our little habits, including when it comes to choosing your smartphone brand.Whether it is the same manufacturer as the model we had previously, or the confidence that we grant to a known brand, the criteria are more or less subjective.Choosing the well -established and known brands of the general public can obviously reassure, unlike a young brand that has just arrived on the market.
But trusting a less known manufacturer also has its advantages.These brands often offer cheaper products and are more dynamic in terms of innovations, because they are precisely seeking to stand out from competition.They are the ones who shake up the order established in the face of leaders who sometimes rest on their laurels.The grass is not always greener elsewhere, but giving confidence to new brands can bring good surprises.
Buying a good smartphone is good, buying a good smartphone regularly updated, it's better!Again, the brand's reputation is at stake.There is nothing more frustrating than paying a phone for several hundred euros to realize a year later that it will no longer receive the latest updates.Apple and iOS clearly have one step ahead of this point, even if Android improves from year to year on this point.In general, high -end models take advantage of a longer update support, but each brand is to be studied on a case -by -case basis.
The issue of after -sales service is also important.If your phone encounters a hardware problem, know that you can take advantage of the legal compliance guarantee up to two years after your purchase.The fact that the manufacturer has physical shops can also reassure you if you prefer to meet the brand's sellers more directly rather than pass only via the Internet.
Our buying guides for the best smartphones by brand:
Android or iOS: which bone to choose?
The first choice available to you concerns iOS or Android.Apple's interface benefits from the whole brand's ecosystem.Your iPhone will be perfectly synchronized with a macbook, an iPad or an Apple Watch.An undeniable strong point.If you prefer Android, you will have to choose from the different manufacturers' interfaces.They bring all their share of interesting features and customizations.The rest will be a question of taste over the design of each of these interfaces.
One of the great forces of Android is that it is possible to change this interface very easily by installing "alternative application launchers" that you will find very easily on the Play Store.To cite a few: Nova Launcher, Evie Launcher or Niagara Launcher.Very well known brands also offer, like Microsoft for example.They all have largely sufficient free versions, and paid versions if you want to push personalization even further.
What size of smartphone are you looking for?
Some may remember Steve Jobs who praised the iPhone screens that could be traveled from one end to the other with one hand.Water to run under the points, and all smartphones, on Android or iOS, today display generous diagonals, often above the 6 inches.The screens can have decreased, but that makes them less difficult to use with one hand.Some "compact" models below 6 -inch mark still succeed, provided you don't have little hands.
The border between models that can be used in one hand and those that are not tiny.Beyond the diagonal in itself, many criteria come into play, such as the finesse of the borders, the screen format or the interface.We return to these last two points a little lower.The best way to know is still to try it.We therefore advise you to take charge of the phone you want to acquire, in some department stores or the shops of mobile operators for example.
Which smartphone has the best autonomy?
In the vast majority of cases, a large smartphone will give it better autonomy.If we can question the ever more impressive size of our smartphones, this has the advantage of leaving more room to integrate large capacity batteries.This results in overall rising autonomy, even if the power of on -board processors or the rate of refreshment of the screen can undermine this endurance gain.
But this progression of autonomy hides a more sad observation: battery technologies are struggling to evolve on our mobiles.Increasing their capacity seems for the moment the most viable large -scale solution according to the manufacturers.Also note that a larger battery is a heavier smartphone, which can be embarrassing once in hand, and of course in your pocket (if you have fairly wide pants).
Is the interface of my phone optimized for my screen format?
Increasing the diagonal of the screens is one thing, adapting the interface accordingly is another.In this little game, some manufacturers are doing better than others.This is particularly the case of Samsung and its new ONE UI interface which succeeded the venerable Touchwiz.Concretely, this translates into lower icons on the screen, and shortcuts accessible from the edge of the slab.The result is a very pleasant interface to use, including one hand.
If all the interfaces have no more the turn of the big screens, it is only a matter of time before everyone puts it.Again, the possibility of greatly customizing Android thanks to alternative application launchers allows you to circumvent the "problem" and create an interface to your tastes.
Why choose a 5G smartphone?
If the fifth generation mobile network is far from being a reality for the majority of French people, some manufacturers are already ready and offer compatible 5G smartphones.First reserved for high -end phones, this compatibility gradually extends to mid -range products (such as 4G in its time).Today, the choice is not lacking.
The 5G network is announced as 10 times faster than 4G.A speed equivalent to that of optical fiber which offers previously unprecedented possibilities from a mobile device connected to the mobile network.With very low latency and greater stability in public places, 5G responds to the constant increase in connected objects in our daily life.
What are the concrete advantages of 5G?
By reducing latency, 5G will allow video calls without latency between sound and image as we can still meet today.The Cloud Gaming will also take advantage of this reduction in latency e of the rise in flows, to play everywhere from your smartphone to titles hitherto reserved for much more powerful machines.Downloading heavy files will also be much faster.
In the industrial and medical sector, 5G will also allow remote control of machines with unprecedented precision.The example that is often taken is that of a surgeon who will be able to operate a patient remotely thanks to extremely precise robotic arms, and an immediate video return to see his movements in real time.
