10 most expensive mass-produced smartphones of 2021

Phone stuffed like old cheap models from China. But at the same time, the price of the smartphone is at the level of the flagships of 2021 from Apple, Samsung and Huawei, and also almost twice as high as the top model from Xiaomi. Torex FS2 is a rather old device - it runs from the factory on Android 6 and at that time was considered quite powerful. Now the model is still in demand, but in narrow circles. It is bought for use in explosive industries, mine mines. The phone is maximally protected: both according to IP68 from water and dust, and from shock, and complies with international fire safety standards. We do not recommend buying this phone for everyday civilian use. It is not visually visible that it is expensive, it looks like an ordinary Chinese striker, heavy, bulky, and weak in performance.

Foldable smartphone with a huge screen. The model runs on Android 10. Microsoft Surface Duo is perhaps the only, albeit expensive, opportunity to buy a Microsoft-branded tablet on Android. But users find this a disadvantage - this combination seems inconvenient and unreasonable. Many owners are dissatisfied with the device and write in the reviews that it would be better to buy a smartphone and a Windows tablet separately than this expensive model. But there are those who considered spending in the amount of 140 thousand rubles justified. The model loses its price over time: at the beginning of 2021 in Russia, it cost 10% more. Unlike foldable Samsung products, there are no problems with screen peeling in the fold area, but the design here is not as innovative.

This is one of the most expensive mass-produced smartphones in the world. But at the same time, at the start of sales, this is one of the most affordable models with a foldable screen. The manufacturer has relied on nostalgia by releasing the device in a clamshell form factor. At first, when only Samsung was present in the curved smartphone market with its Galaxy Fold, Motorola looked attractively priced. But then the South Koreans released the Z Flip in a clamshell format, and since then only ardent fans of the brand have bought the Motorola Razr 5G. In the reviews, those who decide to buy are satisfied with the compact size and the presence of the RAZR Retro application, which stylizes the device as a 16-year-old phone.

The second generation of a mass-produced smartphone with a folding screen. The model is considered one of the most expensive in the world and bypasses the top-end iPhone in price.The cost is quite justified: for this money you get a phone that can turn into a tablet with one movement of the hand, and at the same time it has a flagship stuffing. Despite the fact that mass production of the Z Fold 2 has been launched, and it can be bought freely in many countries around the world, the phone still has many shortcomings. For example, after six months of use, many users are faced with peeling the screen in the fold area. Also, the inconvenience during use is caused by a lot of weight, lack of water protection and support for only one SIM card.

One of the most expensive Samsung smartphones that are mass-produced. The model costs much more than the Exynos version of the same name. In both cases, the most powerful chipset from the flagship line is used, but the Qualcomm version differs in not so strong overheating.Samsung determined the high cost with the highest technical characteristics, high-quality case materials, the presence of water protection according to the IP68 standard, and 5G support. At the start of sales in the spring of 2021, the model cost about 20 thousand more than now. The manufacturer boasts of its 108-megapixel camera, but in the reviews, some owners of this Samsung believe that the quality of the resulting photos is worse than the flagships of previous years without a 108-megapixel camera.

When you look at the technical specifications, you don’t understand why this Chinese smartphone is so expensive, because for this money you can buy several flagships from Xiaomi or Huawei with top performance, and here is the filling of a state employee. But the price is justified, and this smartphone is in demand in narrow circles around the world. It's all about security. The phone is endowed with shock protection according to the military standard MIL-810G, explosion-proof RO Ex ia I X / 0Ex ia IIC T4 X and the ability to connect an external camera, a thermal imager, a docking station. The device can operate at temperatures up to minus 40 degrees Celsius, in mines and open explosive industries.Such phones are bought by corporations to work in their enterprises with difficult and dangerous conditions.

One of the most popular smartphones, which is on the list of the 10 most expensive serial phones in the world. Its main advantages are the large screen and the Samsung S Pen stylus included. Similar devices for artists and engineers were produced under other brands: Huawei, Xiaomi, Asus, but none of them managed to create a more convenient product than Samsung did. In addition to the pen with the ability to create quick sketches, there is top performance, a smooth, crisp 4K screen and good cameras. There is also 5G support here - in Russia this function is not yet relevant, but in other countries of the world 5G networks are already actively exploited by happy owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

One of the best iPhones in terms of performance and functionality, and the most expensive in the world. The model boasts an enlarged screen up to 6.7 inches and a large amount of memory. Given that iPhones do not support memory cards, it is worth paying extra for the increased internal memory. The most valued in the world is the iPhone 12 Pro Max in gold color - a model in this color costs about 1 thousand rubles more. In the reviews, users complain very much about the high cost, but at the same time they write that they are completely satisfied with the device and understand what they paid such a lot of money for. In the comments to the reviews, readers indicate that for this money you can buy two top-end Xiaomi and eat in a cafe for change.

Everything about this smartphone says it's expensive.Name: Pro and Plus prefixes add chic to the device. Case Materials: Premium ceramic is used here instead of conventional glass and metal. 5 camera eyes, which hints at remarkable photographic abilities. The front camera took up an indecent amount of space on the front surface, but for the sake of optical stabilization, auto focus and a depth sensor, you can endure. Other innovations include support for 40W fast wireless charging, low PWM, 3x and 10x optical zoom without loss of image quality. The main drawback of the model is that it does not support Google services.

At the time of writing, this is the most expensive flagship of the Huawei brand. And if Google services were available to this Chinese company, the smartphone would probably cost even more. The manufacturer attracts users with a protected housing according to IP68, a huge screen while maintaining conditionally convenient dimensions, a high-quality three-module camera with optical stabilization and a 5x optical zoom. There is support for 5G, but only on one SIM card. The second can work in 4G networks and below.The most powerful Kirin chipset is used as a processor. Users who decided to pay 90 thousand rubles for the Huawei flagship were satisfied with the purchase and do not even complain about the lack of Google services. Partially, this drawback is leveled by the support of styluses – for the Mate series, Huawei has released a functional Huawei M Pen 2 pen.
