As the fourth quarter of 2019, which is expected to launch the latest range of smartphones for the current year, a question has aroused a controversy and a clear division among technology experts, among those who say that 2019 is the best year ever in the process of smart phones, He says it's the worst year ever.

The first team believes that 2019 was the best year ever to buy a smartphone, where prices continued to decline and quality is improving, providing users with the best opportunities in specifications and prices, while the second team confirms that it is the worst year, because it is a year without design innovation or creativity in capabilities, And saw prices exceeding $ 1000.

To follow up on this controversy, analysts at ZDnet.com, Jason Cipriani and Jason Pirlo, prepared separate reports on both points of view. In the end, the two agreed to leave the final judgment of the user, based on what he deems fulfilling his demands and desires and compatible with his abilities, and agreed that the models to be introduced during the fourth quarter of this year, may be the most likely element between being the worst year or Best.

The best year

The owners of this view that 2019 is the best year for smartphones ever, during which appeared more affordable phones, with amazing camera performance, long battery life and fast performance, and attractive designs, factors that ensure buyers to keep their phones for two years or more without rethinking the the purchase.

This is evidenced by many things in terms of design and colors, as in the colors of the phones Galaxy S10, Note 10, Google and iPhone.

The prices were reasonable for market-leading phones, such as the iPhone XR, which was priced at $ 749 (about Dhs. 2743). South Korea's Samsung also offered the Galaxy S10 for $ 700. It is suitable for small pockets, can be connected to an external monitor, and run a PC-like experience. In turn, Google provided copies of the Pixel 3 for $ 400 (1465 dirhams), and provided it with specifications that match almost the features of the most expensive phones, with a guarantee of updates for three years.

The worst year

The worst year was that the phones released in 2019 were not impressive, either in terms of design or innovation, and saw them as limited upgrades to what was introduced in 2018.

This also applies to applications and software. What emerged from them in 2019 was mostly nothing more than a slight development of applications that were launched last year or before, or even during the past three years, describing the conditions of smartphones on the market in 2019 as «disturbingly disturbing “When it is evaluated according to the typical workload you are working on.

«Noise on paper»

The owners of this view describe much of what is said about the phones of 2019 as a "noise on paper," referring to what companies mention about their products in the manuals explanation and operation, and consider that the phone «Galaxy Note 10» clear example of this, some presented it as «bigger Smartphone deal worth $ 949 at all », while it lacks an iris fingerprint sensor, there is no port for external memory chips« Microsd series », and does not have a port for the wired headset, and get these benefits makes the price exceeds 1100 Otherwise, most of its features are available in some form on less phones The price and the oldest in the markets.

Paper noise extends to phones expected to be announced for the rest of the year, notably Google Pixel 4 and iPhone 11, which have leaked most of their specifications, features and designs and are now known to lack innovation.

New innovations

The 2019 phones have seen many new innovations.OnePlus 3 introduced the UFS internal storage system and introduced one of the fastest charging standards available, rivaled only by Huawei's SuperCharge system.
