Many people are likely to value a good camera, other the battery life, the Design or the operating speed is most important. You added the different priorities.

The winner of the test: LG C8

The clear test winner goes to LG. This starts with the most Important: the image. The C8 65-inch is the only device in the Test, the Display will be evaluated as “very good”.

especially the iPhone XS mies cut off literally. In spite of its high price of at least 980 euros and it ended up only on the 10. Place – on a par with the Samsung Galaxy J6, there are currently available from 130 Euro. The Moto G6 Plus Motorola performs even better than the iPhone – even though it will cost with a price of 200 euros, only one-fifth.

The simple reason for this: The iPhone could not convince in the case of test, several devices received in the Test to break. “Adequate” as assessed by the Stiftung Warentest, the stability of the iPhones, and have depreciated the overall grade to a 2.5. Thus, it is significantly behind the cheaper iPhone XR, achieved in part, weaker technology, and according to the worse of the marks, nevertheless, an overall grade of 2.0 and the second place.

is a test were familiar with the Problem

The Stiftung Warentest is this Dilemma to be well aware of. “The entry-level model obviously can not keep up with the technology of the iPhone”; it says about the Galaxy J6. However, it receives due to the prioritization of the rubrics at the end of the same Note.

Interestingly, this result is also because the Galaxy Note 9 with the grade of 1.8 test winner and best rated Smartphone yet – was just able to convince in his case, test. In various other Tests from other websites, just this device away but came to be particularly fragile. Foundation goods test checks the stability by leaving the devices in a drum crash.
