It is relatively common in Spain that, when we consider the option of renewing our old mobile phone for a new one, foreign brands such as Huawei, Samsung, Apple, Lenovo, Motorola, Xiaomi, LG and a very long etcetera always come to mind. This, in part, is logical, and it is that the power of marketing is almost incalculable. All these brands not only invite huge amounts in marketing and advertising but also receive greater attention from the media, both specialized and general. And all this without counting the "legions of fans" who every day write on blogs, websites and social networks, thus contributing even more to popularize these brands.
But the truth is that in Spain we also have major smartphone manufacturers, and no, I am not referring to those with the acorn. It is true that they do not have the media power of many of the brands that we have previously mentioned, and it is also true that they do not arouse the interest of the media like these, however, they have nothing to envy. They offer good quality Spanish mobile phones, at good prices and, most importantly, they keep their users happy. For all this, today in Androidsis We bring you a selection with some of the best spanish mobiles of the moment.
Energy Phone Pro 3
We begin our selection of the best Spanish mobile phones with one of my favorite brands, and not only in smartphones, but also in a wide range of products that includes headphones, e-book readers, speakers, tablets and more. I am referring to Energy System, and more specifically, what could be described as its flagship, the Energy Phone Pro 3, a smartphone - phablet that offers a 5,5 inch IPS Full HD screen (1920 x 1080 pixels) with Dragontrail protection and anti-fingerprint coating. Made of metal, the Energy Phone Pro 3 houses inside a Eight-core ARM Cortex A53 processors at 1.5 GHz along with a GPU Mali T860, 3 GB of RAM y 32 GB storage internal expandable via microSD-HC / XC cards up to an additional 256 GB.
In the video and photography section, it stands out for its dual camera setup with a 13 MP lens with phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and another 5 MP lens with autofocus, dual tone flash, re-focus, portrait mode. And in front, a 5 MP front camera.
Other of its most outstanding characteristics is that it arrives with Android 7.0 Nougat as an operating system and also has a 3.000 mAh battery with fast charging system (in 1 hour you can reach up to 65% charge), 3.5mm headphone jack, support dual SIM, Bluetooth 4.1, fingerprint reader, and a lot of sensors, functions and additional features that establish it as one of the best Spanish mobiles of the moment.
BQ Aquaris X Pro
We now jump to another of the most popular and successful Spanish mobile manufacturers, but specifically we refer to its top of the range, the BQ Aquaris X Pro, a high-performance smartphone «Designed in Spain», as the company itself declares in its advertising.
The BQ Aquaris X Pro offers in a beautiful and careful design a 5,2 inch IPS Full HD screen 2.5D with 1080 x 1920 resolution, anti-fingerprint treatment and Quantum Color + technology that allows us to visualize vivid and vibrant colors.
Inside it houses a snapdragon 626 processor Qualcomm with eight cores and a clock speed of 2,2 GHz that comes accompanied by the Adreno GPU 506, 3 or 4 GB of RAM (depending on the version chosen), and 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of internal storage that we can expand with a microSD card up to 256 GB.
As an operating system, the BQ Aquaris X Pro comes with Android 7.1.1 Nougat in addition to connectivity Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, two microphones, fingerprint reader, GPS, 4G, Dual SIM, USB Type-C and much more. But without a doubt, its strong point lies in the video and photography section.
La main camera It has a Samsung S5K2L7SX 12 MP Dual Pixel sensor with ƒ / 1.8 aperture, and 1.4 µm pixels capable of capturing up to 33% more light, which makes it ideal for lovers of night photography or in low light conditions. It also offers Dual Tone Flash, phase detection autofocus, video stabilizer, manual control of parameters (exposure time, focus and ISO), shooting in RAW format and much more.
La frontal camera integrates an 5 MP Samsung S4K8H8YX sensor with ƒ / 2.0 aperture, 1.12 µm / pixel
front flash and automatic beauty mode.
With all this, and without a doubt, we are, at least, before one of the best Spanish mobiles that we can find in the market.
Weimei We Plus 2
I stake my neck that the Weimei signature sounds like very few of those who are reading. It is even likely, in case you have heard, you think that it is a Chinese brand due to its name however, nothing is further from the truth. Weimei is a Madrid startup, perhaps the most recent of the Spanish mobile brands, but its objective is to offer terminals of the highest possible quality at the lowest possible price. And this is how this Weimei We Plus 2, current flagship of her firm defined as "the next step forward within our smartphones."
The new Weimei WePlus 2 features a 5,5 inch IPS Full HD screen 1920 x 1024 pixels and weOS operating system based on Android 6.0 Marsmallow which is powered by a Octa-core ARM Cortex A53 processor 1,8 GHz together with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of storage Internal that you can expand using a micro SD card up to 128GB.
In the video and photography section, the Weimei WePlus 2 has a main camera 13 MP with night mode, beauty mode and so on 14 photography modes, And a 8 MP front camera with face detection.
All this is completed with a 3130 mAh battery with USB Type-C connector and "Smart Battery Optimizer" and "Extreme Mode" functions, plus Bluetooth 4.0, dual SIM, 3.5mm jack connector for headphones, GPS and more.
My Wigo City 3
Another interesting bet is that of the firm MyWigo, belonging to the Valencia-based multinational Cirkuit Planet, which although it may not sound familiar to us, the truth is that they have a presence in almost a hundred countries. One of its best smartphones is this MyWigo City 3, a terminal with 5,5 inch IPS HD screen and operating system Android 6 Marshmallow Powered by a 6737GHZ quad-core MediaTek MT1,33 processor along with 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storageor internal expandable up to 64 GB via microSD card, a generous 3650 mAh battery, fingerprint reader, 4G ...
When it comes to cameras, it offers a 13 MP main camera equipped with the Samsung S5K3L8 sensor, Dual Led Flash and phase detection autofocus (PDAF), and a 8 MP front camera with flash so you can take better selfies.
The MyWigo City 3 is not the best phone on this list, however it offers components of remarkable quality at a fairly contained price.
Spanish mobiles?
Many of you have probably thought on several occasions while reading this post that, although we are talking about "Spanish mobiles", These are not devices manufactured one hundred percent within our borders. And yes, you are right. The different components of the telephones (chips, camera modules, screen, microphones, batteries and others) are acquired from third-party manufacturers. The most obvious example is found in the processors that can be manufactured by Qualcomm, by MediaTek, and so on. The same happens with the camera lens and other elements. In addition, the final assembly process is also usually carried out by another company abroad, almost always China or an eastern country. All this is "normal", in the sense that it is a common practice on the part of all companies, from the largest like Samsung or Apple, to much more modest ones like Weimei. And we do not stop saying that Apple is American, or that Samsung and LG are not South Korean companies.
For this reason, some companies make an effort to make known that their mobiles are Spanish through messages such as «Designed in Spain» which includes the signature BQ. Doesn't that sound a lot like a certain message that another company with a fruit logo includes on their products? Well yes, and those are also made in China, although their price is five times higher.
In short, the list of devices that we have seen is of Spanish mobiles because they have been designed in Spain and because their companies are based in Spain, rendering accounts to the Spanish State, regardless of whether a specific component has been manufactured by one or another company in one or another country.
And so far our selection of the best Spanish mobiles. Remember that this list is not a ranking and that we have probably left a terminal in the pipeline. If so, if you have a Spanish mobile phone whose performance you are super happy and you want the world to know, tell us in the comments and help us expand this list which, after all, is nothing more than a suggestion. .
