想買手機的看過來

What’s the smart buy for a smartphone this summer? The choices are better than ever.

夏天到了，哪款智慧型手機呢值得擁有呢？今年暑期各大新款的品質堪稱遠勝以往。

As smartphone shipment growth ebbs, sales of large models— the so-called phablets— are expected to be brisk, seeing double-digit growth over the next several years, according to market researcher IDC. Not surprisingly, topping our list is a large smartphone. Here’s a brief roundup of the hottest smartphones to consider this summer.

市場研究機構IDC表示，智慧型手機的船運量下降，大號智慧型手機，即所謂的平板手機的銷量在未來幾年中有望實現兩位數的增長。

在此背景下，平板手機榮登本榜榜首便不足為奇了。

下面本文將對今夏幾款大熱機型進行盤點：

1. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: Best premier smartphone

1.最佳首發手機：三星Galaxy S7 Edge

This is the high-end smartphone to beat this summer. If it was strictly a design race between Samsung and Apple, Samsung would be the easy winner. The South Korean giant’s Super AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) 5.5-inch display has curves on two sides, resulting in a stunning design. It has a practical side too: the wrap-around display delivers added real estate for 「edge」 apps. The S7 Edge also has one of the best cameras going and the best battery life yet for a high-end Galaxy model. A blow-by-blow comparison with iPhone 6s Plus yields a bunch of upsides, including 4GB of RAM (vs 2GB on the iPhone), a sharper 「QHD」 display, wireless charging, and a microSD slot for upgrading the standard 32GB storage with, for instance, a 128GB microSD card that can also be configured with dual SIM cards. The only downsides are fingerprint smears and Samsung’s user interface – but the latter is vastly improved over previous versions. Retail pricing typically starts at between 750 dollars and 790 dollars at major carriers.

在這款高端手機面前，炎炎夏日似乎也失去了熱度。

如果蘋果和三星進行一場設計競賽，該機型將輕鬆勝出。

這款手機螢幕的大小為5.5英寸，使用的材料的是超級有源矩陣發光二極體面板，邊緣採用雙曲面設計，整體效果令人炫目。

這款手機螢幕的實際使用效果也相當不錯：環繞式處理技術令螢幕邊緣的應用程式也有了展示的空間。

S7 Edge配備了最好的攝像鏡頭之一，電池壽命在高端Galaxy系列中也是最長的。

如果把iPhone6s和G7 Edge放在一起進行詳細比較，後者的優點非常突出：G7 Edge的隨機存取存儲器容量達到4GB（而6s的這一數據為2GB）；螢幕的解析度達到960×450（16:9）；具備無線充電功能；手機內存為32GB，可插入128GB的SD卡進行拓展。

指紋識別系統和三星人機互動介面的設計是這款手機的缺點--但是後者的性能在近幾個版本中有了極大的提升。

大型運營商處為這款手機提供的零售價在750美元到790美元之間。

The 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus is a close runner-up for the best premier smartphone. It has Apple’s very-high-quality build, a great camera, good performance, and, most importantly, the iOS operating system with all of those apps. It starts at 749 dollars.

5.5英寸螢幕的iPhone6s是可與S7 Edge相媲美的首發手機。

這款機型沿襲了蘋果手機高質量的工藝，配備了功能強大的攝像頭，具有優良的性能，當然最重要的是其內置了iOS作業系統和配套的手機應用。

5.5英寸螢幕的iPhone6s首發售價為749美元。

2. iPhone 6s: Best mainstream phone

2.最佳主流手機：iPhone 6s

Apple still has a lock on the mid-range, mainstream smartphone. The 4.7-inch iPhone 6s has a stiffer chassis than the iPhone 6, excellent front and rear cameras, a novel 「3D Touch」 pressure-sensitive display for previewing messages, photos, and related links, and the new A9 processor makes everything very snappy. But let’s face the facts: While Apple makes great, high-quality hardware, many consumers choose iPhones primarily because they know they』re buying into probably the greatest selection of apps in the world. It starts at 649 dollars.

蘋果仍然牢牢把持著中等尺寸和主流智慧型手機市場。

4.7英寸螢幕的iPhone6s的底盤比iPhone6的更加結實，前置和後置攝像頭性能良好，螢幕配備了新奇的「3D觸摸」壓力傳感器和A9處理器，人們在瀏覽信息、照片和相關連結時會覺得非常順暢。

然而事實卻擺在眼前：雖然蘋果手機配備的硬體質量極好，但是許多消費者選擇蘋果的原因在於他們清楚蘋果能為自己帶來世上最好的手機應用。

4.7英寸的iPhone6s售價為649美元。

3. Nexus 6P: Best pure Android phone

3.最佳原生安卓手機：Nexus 6P

The Nexus brand has a following that, while a lot smaller, is not that unlike the iPhone’s following. That’s because Nexus phones maintain high standards, are designed in conjunction with Google, and made by world-class phone suppliers. Huawei— the third-largest global smartphone manufacturer behind Samsung and Apple according to IDC— now makes the best Nexus phone. What the Nexus 6P does really well is deliver high-end specifications at a relatively low price. Those specs include an excellent (and extra-large) 5.7-inch very-high-resolution AMOLED display, a good 12-megapixel camera, 3GB of RAM, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor. The only notable downsides are a sometimes less-than-snappy camera experience and unneeded bulk in the chassis. But the best part is the cost, with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of 499 dollars. But the 6P can often be found for under 450 dollars at retailers and even under 400 dollars at some stores.

Nexus品牌系列手機的規模雖不比蘋果，但在質量上卻不遑多讓。

Nexus出產的手機一向質量上佳，不僅Google鼎力支持，世界級的手機供應商亦為其保駕護航。

IDC稱，位列三星和蘋果之後的第三大智慧型手機生產商華為生產的Nexus手機品質最佳。

Nexus手機的物美價廉是其一大優點。

這款手機的螢幕尺寸達到了5.7英寸（又是超大螢幕），使用的材料是有超高解析度的有源矩陣發光二極體面板，其他硬體還包括1200萬像素的攝像頭，3GB的隨機存取存儲器和高通Snapdragon810處理器。

拍照反應較慢，底盤進行加重處理是該機型較為顯著的缺點。

Nexus最吸引人的是價格，其建議零售價僅為499美元，而一些零售商給出的價格僅為450美元，在一些門店更是低至400美元。

4. LG G5: Best modular phone

4.最佳模塊化智慧型手機：LG G5

Though overshadowed by Samsung, the smaller South Korean phone supplier has come up with a pretty radical smartphone. The killer feature for the 5.3-inch phone is modularity. By pressing a button, the bottom of the phone slides out, which allows you to not only swap in a fresh battery but add upgrade modules too. And the camera is different too. The LG G5 has both 8- and 16-megapixel sensors on the back, located on either side of the LED flash. The secondary 8MP sensor allows wide-angle shots. At retail, it ranges between 575 dollars and 625 dollars.

籠罩在三星陰影之下的LG最近終於推出了一款顛覆性的智慧型手機。

這款螢幕尺寸為5.3英寸的機型的最大賣點在於其模塊化的手機結構。

按下相應按鍵，手機底部會自動滑出，不僅可以更換電池，也可以裝載其他升級模塊。

LG G5的攝像頭也與眾不同，在手機背面有兩個分列於LED閃光燈兩側的傳感器，兩個傳感器的像素分別達到800萬和1600萬，800萬像素的傳感器賦予了手機廣角拍攝的功能。

這款手機的零售價在575美元和625美元之間。

5. iPhone SE: Best small phone

5.最佳小型智慧型手機：iPhone SE

The 4-inch SE is the best deal Apple has ever offered on a new iPhone: It’s not only the cheapest iPhone, but has cutting-edge internals. This is a more advanced phone internally than the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, and is on par with the iPhone 6s/6s Plus. And it has the same great rear-facing 12-megapixel camera of the 6s, with better battery life than both the 6 and 6s. The iPhone SE also excels at one-handed operation. It’s a cinch to do all sorts of things: thumb-scrolling, photo-taking, typing. The SE is also more pocketable than, let’s say, the large 5.5-inch 6s Plus. The icing on the cake is the price: it starts at 399 dollars for a 16GB version and 499 dollars for 64GB.

螢幕大小僅為4英寸的iPhoneSE是蘋果公司出產過的最好的新手機。

該機型是史上賣得最便宜的iPhone，內在配置也走在時代前沿。

其內在配置令iPhone6和iPhone6 Plus相形見絀，與iPhone6s和iPhone6s Plus可謂旗鼓相當，1200萬像素後置攝像頭的配置與iPhone6s相同，電池壽命卻優於iPhone6和6s。

iPhone SE的單手操作體驗同樣非常流暢，使用者能夠非常輕鬆地用大拇指瀏覽網頁，拍照，打字。

相比5.5英寸的iPhone6s Plus，iPhone SE攜帶起來更加方便，價格更是該機型的加分項：16GB版本的售價僅為399美元，64GB版本的售價也僅需499美元。
