As the fourth quarter of the year, which is expected to be the last batch of smartphones to come this year, a question has sparked controversy and divided experts and analysts, between the view that 2019 is the year of 'sweet' or best ever in The march of smart phones, while the second opinion is that the year «bitter» or the worst ever in the march of these phones.

The first team argues that 2019 was the best year ever to buy a smartphone, during which prices continued to fall and quality improved, giving users the best opportunities ever in specifications and prices.

While the second team confirms that it is the worst year ever, because it is a year without design innovation or creativity in capacity, and saw prices exceeding $ 1,000, which is only a trick.

To follow up on this case, analysts at zdnet.com, a technology specialist, Jason Cipriani and Jason Pirlo, prepared separate reports on the two points of view. Cipriani presented the view that it was the best year, while Pirlo took the view that it was the worst year. The fourth quarter of this year could be the most likely element among the worst or best year.

«Sweet year»

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

reasonable prices

They demonstrated this by several things, most notably that in terms of design and colors, the color schemes of Samsung's wonderful phones appeared in the models «S10» and «Note 10».

Google also introduced a fun color with bright power buttons as an alternative to black and white colors. The iPhone came in four colors other than black and white.

Prices were reasonable for market-leading phones, such as Apple's iPhone XR, which was priced at $ 749, $ 250 less than the XS price, $ 350 less than the XS Max, and a provider. With a set of colorful background options, longer battery, and a large screen to help you get the job done.

Samsung has offered the Galaxy S10 for around $ 700, while at the same time it has the same specifications and functionality as the top models, which cost more than $ 200.It fits in small pockets and can also be connected to an external monitor and run a similar experience. PC with Samsung DEX technology.

Google did the same, offering copies of Google Pixel 3 for $ 400, and providing it with specifications that match almost the features of higher-priced phones, such as high-resolution camera, mid-range processor that meets the needs of most people, with a guarantee of updates for three years. , With all the functionality you might need in an Android smartphone.

New innovations

The 2019 phones have seen many new innovations.OnePlus, for example, introduced the third version of the internal storage system «UFS», and introduced one of the fastest charging standards available, which is rivaled in speed only Super Charge «Huawei», and achieved a distinctive addition in the field of RAM, where he was one of the first phones with a RAM of 12 GB. OnePlus pushed innovation a bit further with a retractable front camera that brings more fun and convenience to work and media.

«The Bitter Year»

On the other hand, the view that 2019 is the 'bitter' year, that phones released this year are not impressive, whether in terms of design, innovation or otherwise, and see them as limited upgrades to what was introduced in 2018, and makes no sense It's quite in real world use, and that's the most important reason why 2019 is the worst in the smartphone rally.

Not only components and design, but also applications and software, what emerged from them in 2019 was probably little more than a slight development of applications running last year or earlier, or even over the past three years.

They describe the conditions of smartphones on the market in 2019 as “ridiculously turbulent” when evaluated according to their typical workloads.

Noise on paper

The owners of this view describe much of what is said about the phones of 2019 as a mere "noise on paper," referring to what companies mention about their products in the manuals and 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 class, and does not have a port for the wired headset, and get these benefits makes the price rise to More than $ 1,100. The case of «noise on paper» to include even phones expected to be announced during the rest of this year, and especially the phones «Google Pixel 4», phones leaked most of its specifications, properties and designs are now known, and it seems from now that they lack innovation, and will not be «Pixel 4 »A paradigm shift when compared to Pixel 3.

Expensive

One analyst concluded the controversy about what 2019 represents for smartphones by saying: `` quite frankly, the 2019 phones are expensive, ugly design, swollen because of the large cameras equipped with them, and if we ask about the range of premium smartphones with competitive prices that rank in the market, "What is said to be the best product is not inspiring at all."

Fall and fourth quarter models are likely to be among the worst or best 2019 phones.
