5 of the most unusual smartphones

Oppo is one of the most progressive Chinese companies that has repeatedly surprised the world with non-trivial developments. The recent model has also become one of the most unusual smartphones available today to the Russian buyer. The main feature of the device was a compact retractable selfie camera that pops up when you turn on the shooting mode. Thanks to this feature, a huge bright display with a diagonal of 6.5 inches is used to the maximum, because it is completely devoid of the slightest cutouts. The entire front side is a solid screen. Of course, this is not the only device whose camera is cleverly hidden in the bowels of the case. Nevertheless, this particular model deserves attention. Reno 2Z proudly holds the title of the world's first smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera that captures Bokeh video.

The originality is noticeable at first sight.The phone is presented in an interesting color "moonlight" and even more unusual color called "twilight fog". The latter creates a backlight effect in the style of acid tuning. The smartphone also pleases with a rear camera with four lenses.

This American brand with an industrial bent is the successor to the legendary Cat S60 and the best option for engineers, builders, military and anyone who needs a workhorse with a whole range of tools for the field. The main difference of the Caterpillar Cat S61 is the built-in FLIR Lepton thermal imager, with which you can get clear thermal images in the range from -20 to +400 degrees Celsius. It is suitable for both creating unusual photos in the spirit of the movie "Predator", and for identifying serious building problems, including wiring faults, cracks and crevices, drafts, humidity. Also, the smartphone is supplemented with a laser for measuring distance and even an air pollution sensor that monitors the concentration of volatile organic substances, including solvents, glue, and paint.

Another reason for the popularity of the Cat S61 is the indestructible body, which is constantly praised in reviews. The smartphone is protected from water according to the IP68 standard, shock, extreme temperatures. Otherwise, the capabilities of the device are average, but worthy.

Fantasies about devices consisting of only one screen are becoming a reality.The Chinese development Nubia Z20 is as close as possible to the ideal, becoming the very first smartphone in the world, most of which is occupied by the display, and not only from the front side. In addition to the huge 6.42-inch main screen with curved edges and no cutouts, the model received a color AMOLED display on the rear of the case. Its diagonal is as much as 5.1 inches. The second screen not only strikes the imagination with an unusual location, but also has a practical application. It is designed to take selfies with a clear triple rear camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels and optical stabilization, as well as control in game mode and display a splash screen with which you can change the design of your smartphone at least every minute.

The most futuristic device in the world also stood out for its original approach to data protection. He received as many as two fingerprint scanners, which are located parallel to the sides of the smartphone, as well as FaceID.

Recently, the concept of a "gaming smartphone" did not exist, but Asus is changing the rules. ROG Phone II is the second generation of ultra-compact gaming devices. As expected, it differs from ordinary smartphones in the most powerful hardware. Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus octa-core processor, record-breaking 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal memory make the device a full-fledged gaming device. At the same time, in the game center of the smartphone, the user is offered to view the most important aspects of the filling, including temperature.Also there you can configure external lighting, which has become a recognizable feature of ROG Phone, manage game profiles and a built-in fan.

The battery has not been neglected either. Thanks to the battery capacity of 6000 mAh, the smartphone breaks all records in terms of battery life. According to reviews, it lasts for several days even when playing games. ROG is also complemented by reverse charging, which allows you to share power with any other device that supports Qi wireless technology.

The Samsung Galaxy A80 is one of the biggest new releases of the year. However, this is not just a spectacular model with a huge frameless display. There are no cutouts on the screen for the lens, but, unlike many Chinese companies, the Koreans did not hide the front camera in the depths, but outdid themselves by making the main camera retractable and swivel. When you start the selfie mode, a small block of the rear panel rises above the 6.7-inch screen, and the lens rotates around its axis to "look" at the owner. This unusual property allows us to call the Galaxy A80 the best smartphone for connoisseurs of really high-quality selfies. After all, a triple wide-angle camera with a resolution of 48 megapixels and the ability to shoot in 4K format will leave behind any front camera. The quality of the photos is confirmed by numerous reviews.

Another strong point of Samsung was the integration of the fingerprint scanner and speaker into the screen. At the same time, the authors of the reviews note the loudness of the call, high performance and charging speed.
