In the summer all like to rest. But in Russia the summer - it is also possible to launch a new solution. While the manufacturer of the world rest in MegaFon completely updated its line of devices. At the same time on the market quietly left the Russian brand of SenseIt, which offered a range of protected vehicles. Reviews of some of them, as well as models from Vodafone, you can read here in the next month. The models are different, there are among them, and quite curious. See the full list below.

How it looks
The structure of the material is extremely simple: manufacturers sorted alphabetically, you can quickly jump to a company you are interested in using the list at the top of the page. In the description of a single model, we will indicate the estimated cost of the appearance on the market. Another option is to estimate the model. I would also like to emphasize that this is a subjective assessment, which formed the basis of our understanding of the new product, manufacturer, tools that are invested in the promotion, or, conversely, are not being made. The assessment may include multiple grades, give them all:

    
Bestseller - a model that distinguishes the characteristics (this may be the price, not just the technical specifications). On models marked with the word Bestseller, you should pay close attention.
    
Player. Significant decisions are typical representatives of their class. This mass products, which form the main sales in certain segments.
    
Bidder. Phones in this category have not grown up a class player, but have a number of attractive features (for example, the cost, but it can also become a negative factor, and then the player turns to the Applicant), they may not have many features that have become standard for a particular class. As a rule, fall into the category of applicant apparatus manufacturers of the second and third-tier priced phones or too large manufacturers.
   
Technology for technology's sake. Niche products, interesting for its technical solutions, but are not intended for general audiences. An example of this kind is the Nokia 7710. Based on the features, the device is interesting, but his size and speed of the cross out of dignity and make it a niche.
    
Not for everyone. Niche solutions that are, as a rule, the presence of an unusual design or unique, but unnecessary features. Designed a small group of buyers, which takes things to the original expression.
    
Run the product. This category includes devices that were originally targeted at everyone and anyone. Phones that do not have well-defined features, which makes them one of many on the market.
    
Outsider. Phones that are contrary to common sense come into the market, and even a small degree does not attract customers. Dead products are not designed to any sale.

 
ExplayExplay Crystal
    Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 5990 rubles
    
Position in the line: out of range
    
Rating: not for all

An amazing machine, since it carries enormous potential irony. In 2009, Sony Ericsson has released a model with a transparent display Xperia Pureness. Due to the transparent screen and a rather mundane characteristics of this unit is considered certain image and tried to sell for one thousand dollars. The market reacted smoothly - sales were not. Three years later, Explay produces a very similar model, which is also transparent screen, but the price is five times smaller. The screen is 240x320 pixels, 2.4 inches, 1.3 megapixel camera, two SIM-cards and branding of Explay. If not for the screen, then it would be a model of the lower price class. But as a unit with a claim he obviously attracts attention. Rather unusual in its price class solution. It is unlikely that it will be massive, but individual buyers just like it.

FlyFly IQ235 UNO

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 4090 rubles
    
The situation in the line: starts
    
Rating: challengerThe budget model opens a range of smartphones on the Fly. With a screen diagonal of 3.2 inches and a resolution of 240x320 pixels this parameter is the main limitation of the model. However, memory is also only 256 MB. On the other hand, is Android 2.3.6, a lot of preset programs. But is it necessary? Good build, the availability of affordable 2-megapixel camera. The main thing in this phone - it is the price. But it also makes you forget about the many standard features Android, then they will not (for example, many programs will not run on the screens with this resolution).

HTCHTC Desire V

    
Time of occurrence: the second half of the month
    
Average price: 15 990 rubles
    
Position in the line: dvuhsimochny version of Desire
    
Rating: not for allThe first model from HTC, which supports two SIM-cards, but, unlike its competitors, is positioned in the high price point (with respect to all the world, but still). Well assembled, compact enclosure with soft-touch coating, a 5-megapixel camera, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB of internal as well as support for memory cards. The screen is 4 inches with a resolution of 480x800 pixels (SuperLCD). Processor Single Core frequency up to 1 GHz. Inside the shell is also installed Sense, it runs on top of Android 4.0. In general, the solution turned out pretty interesting, but to say that it defies the imagination, it is impossible. The unit has all the weaknesses that have the original Desire.
Huawei Ascend P1

Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Average price: 19 990 rubles
    
Position in the line: the flagship
    
Rating: challenger
DescriptionReviewAn interesting model in which the characteristics at the level of the previous season's champions - dual-core processor at 1.5 GHz, 8-megapixel camera, SuperAMOLED-screen, Android 4.0. An interesting device that could be called a player if the price would be slightly lower. But at Huawei believe that this is a worthy model, which should strengthen the brand. Probably. But the price will scare away many potential buyers as well as alternatives on the market today are many.

LGLG Optimus 4x HD

    
Time of occurrence: the end of the month
    
Average price: 24 990 rubles
    
Position in the line: the flagship
    
Rating: challengerThe LG has once again trying to play catch-up with Samsung, but if five or seven years ago, it turned out, but now times have changed. The model from LG did not attract any public attention, at a comparable price to the Galaxy S3 it has a more modest performance at runtime. Nice and normal in appearance apparatus is very similar to Galaxy S2 its back cover. Like the LG tried to imagine what the S3, and prepare your answer. Admittedly, the answer was quite fragmented. Like, in the apparatus is all that is needed. But, on the other hand, the brand LG can not cost so much, it must be quoted at Huawei and other B-manufacturers, LG, and what was.

PhilipsPhilips Xenium Champion X333

    
Time of occurrence: the middle of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 3990 rubles
    
Position in the line: -
    
Rating: PlayerLine Xenium - this is a godsend for the brand Philips, long-lived phones, even with modest performance, steel chip for this manufacturer. 2000 mAh battery in this unit provides up to 16 hours of talk time, up to 50 days of standby time. After understanding these figures, all the other features are pushed to the wayside. But remember, and about them - the screen of 240x320 pixels, 3-megapixel camera, radio, support for two SIM-cards.

SamsungSamsung Galaxy ACE Duos

    
Time of occurrence: the beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 9990 rubles
    
The position in the line: Galaxy Y Duos
    
Rating: not for allDo not confuse the word in the name of ACE, ACE Duos model is much simpler than its predecessor, released two years ago. The main advantage is to work with two SIM-cards in a single radio module. The screen is 3.5 inches with a resolution of 320x480 pixels, the model is not too fast, and the price is too high, and strong. Not the best machine to buy if you consciously choose a good quality / price ratio, the Samsung clearly felt this model niche, and not even tried to make it attractive for a wide range of customers. 
Samsung Omnia M S7350

    
Time of occurrence: the beginning of the month
    
Average price: 10 990 rubles
    
Position in the line: under the Omnia W
    
Rating: not for allNeed a budget phone on Windows Phone 7, then you can look at this model. However, for the sake of a budget cut in it all that they could. Memory only 4 GB, there is the possibility to extend it. The screen is 4 inches, 800x480 pixels, 5 megapixel camera. A good phone for calls and SMS, also a good opportunity to get acquainted with the platform. But the market can be significantly cheaper to buy the more interesting devices from Nokia, so the choice is a decision not worth it. What is the meaning of such a model run, and at this price, for me it remains a mystery. It seems to have been.

SenseItSenseIt P3

    
Time of occurrence: the beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 5990 rubles
    
Position in the line: -
    
Rating: challengerSecure the device having the level of protection IP67 (MIL810). Flashlight does not just know how to shine, but it has a special mode of SOS. A SIM-card and for a long time on a single charge. The camera of 3 megapixels, the ability to swim with this phone for the buoys and other delights. Rather good model, which does not receive wide appreciation just because of the low popularity of this brand. 
SenseIt P5

    
Time of occurrence: the beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 3990 rubles
    
The situation in the line: starts
    
Rating: challengerInexpensive phone with a level of protection IP57. The good moments - you can throw in the water and drown, even though the instructions do not recommend doing. The screen even painted line, which is atypical for such devices. A simple menu for a long time. For price / quality ratio, this unit has turned one of the best protected in the segment models. And the budget. 
SenseIt P9

    
Time of occurrence: the beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 2990 rubles
    
Position in the line: -
    
Rating: challengerWhat happens if you take babushkofon with large buttons and equip it with additional protection (IP57). Get this particular unit for older people. Minimum features maximum protection. Quite unusual and interesting solution, and most importantly affordable. For those elderly people who like to drop the phone in the bath, sink or somewhere else, it is recommended.

SonySony Xperia Go

    
Time of occurrence: the beginning of the month
    
Average price: 13 990 rubles
    
Position in the line: -
    
Rating: not for allAnnouncement
Price is justified by the fact that this smartphone is performed in a sheltered housing - it can hold up to an hour under water, the screen has a special coating and reacts even on wet fingers. Otherwise, a typical product from Sony, and its characteristics it should cost no more than 10-11 thousand rubles. But the defense for someone to be the determining factor. I like the machine, if it were not for the price, it could be become a noticeable phenomenon in the market. But it did not.

teXetteXet TM-3000

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 3490 rubles
    
The situation in the line: starts
    
Rating: challengerThe main advantage of low cost smartphones is their cost, it is very low. The disadvantages are also obvious: limited memory, low resolution screen. And if the screen resolution in the TM-3000 could not do anything (3-inch, 240x320 pixels), the amount of RAM to 512 MB is not typical for such products. Inside is Android 2.2, is a proprietary utility for updating firmware over the air, that's really get on this unit 4 version of the OS just will not work. The device can be found 256 MB of memory, memory cards up to 16GB (no card included), FM-radio. It also supports two SIM-cards.The device turned out good in terms of price. If you take into account the fact that not all programs will run on this screen, you should watch something more expensive. Of course, if you need this smartphone.

MegaphoneMegaphone SP-W1 (ZTE Tania)

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 8990 rubles
    
The situation in the line: starts
    
Rating: challengerBudget Windows Phone 7, which can not be upgraded to 8-ki. But the main problem of the device is not in this model is not bad as long as it does not begin to compare with the cheaper devices from Nokia - they seem advantageous and can be found almost everywhere, in contrast to the model. Therefore, the model turned out not to all. 
MegaFon SP-A5

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 5990 rubles
    
Position in the line: under the SP-A10
    
Rating: applicant / playerThe model differs in that it has 3.5 inch screen with a resolution of 480x800 pixels, in this price segment of this achievement. Running Android 2.3, a 5-megapixel camera. Other characteristics are typical, the details of the review soon on this site. 
MegaFon SP-A10

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 9990 rubles
    
Position in the line: the flagship
    
Rating: challengerThe large screen of 4.3 inches with a resolution of 854x480 pixels, which is not typical for the models in this price range. Inside is Snapdragon MSM8255T 1,4 GHz, 5-megapixel camera, has the support of 3G. Sufficient to interesting model, which is Android 2.3.4. Review - soon. 
MegaFon TP-DS1

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 2990 rubles
    
The situation in the line: starts
    
Rating: applicant / playerThe budget smartphone on Android, which takes its low price. The fee for this value - 50 MB internal memory, 3.2 inch screen and a resolution of 240x400 pixels, the processor with a clock frequency of 208 MHz. The low price will attract many, but to call it a smartphone device, probably not. On the other hand, referring to the presence of a budget Android-smartphone in MegaFon will not play the hypocrite. 
MegaFon Megas +

    
Time of occurrence: c beginning of the month
    
Approximate cost: from 9990 rubles
    
Position in the line: the flagship
    
Rating: challenger
Rather expensive model with two SIM-cards, where the first SIM-card from Megafon has 3G, but the second can be used for SMS and voice in any of the network operators. This is the usual Android-smartphone on the HiSense, which is interesting in the aspect of the experiment, MegaFon. For details you can read the link above.
