These are the 3 highest-end smartphones of the main tech companies

The best time to choose to buy a smartphone is now, since the coronavirus has affected the smartphone market considerably, reducing sales by up to 38%. For this reason, the BBC indicates that mobile device retail stores are offering smartphone promotions and offers in order to stimulate sales , since direct purchases in these stores have also been victims of the crisis as a result of the confinement and preventive closure of "not indispensable" companies.

However, in the future the price trend could be the opposite, since due to the strict quarantine implemented in China, the country where 70% of smartphones are manufactured, the available stock of the brands will decrease due to the lack of production and import drawbacks, therefore prices could increase between 6% and 10% depending on the type of terminal, according to Muy Interesante.

So, if a person wants to buy a smartphone right now, promotions and discounts could incentivize them to dare and buy a high-end phone, in this case, the characteristics of the three big smartphone manufacturers will be analyzed: Samsung, Huawei, and Apple, which according to a study by Strategy Analytics, were the best-selling brands throughout 2019, Samsung with 20.9% of the market, Huawei with 17% and Apple with 14%.

Finally, Samsung incorporates the largest screen of the group with 6.9 inches in size, with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels for a density of 511 dpi. Its Dynamic Amoled panel is updated at a frequency of 120Hz, when the latter is mentioned, it refers to the number of times a screen is “refreshed” every second, that is, 120 times per second, the higher the number the more fluid is the screen but also has more battery drain, although both Huawei and Samsung allow the screen to be set to 60Hz to save battery power.

Processor and performance
