In today's time, there is not much of a gap in. Features between mid-range & flagship smartphones. But still, there is a massive difference between the overall experience of using these smartphones in our daily lives. Firstly let's talk about what is a mid-range phone and a flagship phone is.

What is a mid-range smartphone

The mid-range phone is a product that has some limits while manufacturing it, which covers the overall built quality and the internal hardware like the old display technology, slower charging or cheap camera lens & many more.


What is a flagship smartphone

Flagship smartphones usually have the top of the line hardware including the build quality, the camera unit which includes the lens and best available display technology, super-fast charging and many more.

Now let's see what are the significant difference in flagship and mid-range smartphone which set them apart.


  • Display technology:- The flagship phones get the latest and the best quality display panel like 2k or 4k display but on the other hand, the mid-range phone offer AMOLED display which I think is enough for an individual.


  • Processor:- A processor involves the performance and speed, it also manages the graphical performance and image processing and even the network speed. The flagship smartphone has the fastest available processor at that time which provides a brilliance performance to the user whereas looking at the current situation the mid-range processor is not that behind the flagship processor but still, they are not having the level of performance as compared to flagship processor.


  • Software optimization:- talking about flagship phones like Apple iPhone has the world's best software optimization when it comes to the smoothness, this is due to the fact that they manufacture their own hardware and software according to each other, while in Android world different manufacturers make different hardware and share with others and then make software accordingly which may not as smooth as Apple's.


  • Camera Quality:- In terms of camera quality flagship smartphones are way ahead. It comes with the best quality camera lenses, multiple-axis optical image stabilization and an exceptional quality of image stabilization. Coming to mid-range phones their hard work to making things better are what makes a difference. Every time they come with a new experiment and now mid-range phone provides quad-camera settings which include a primary sensor, depth sensor, ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a macro lens.


  • Build Quality:- Well there is nothing much to discuss about build quality. It is obvious that flagship provides premium build quality but now mid-range phones also providing glass back and which enhances the feel to these smartphones.


  • Charging technology:- Usually, the flagship smartphone comes with the fastest possible charging speeds like the 50w charging in OnePlus 8 and competing to this mid-range phones like Redmi k20 pro and Poco f1 also provides fast charging of 20w 


With the passage of time, new smartphones will be introduced to better features, etc and the greed of doing better every time will not stop this the mid-range smartphones are catching up with the flagship smartphones in terms of performance but still there is a huge Gap between there usability. So choose according to your needs and spend according to your needs.
