Every smartphone running Android has a so-called “dialer” installed. This is an application that combines dialing, call log and contact book. But not everyone likes the option created by the smartphone manufacturer. In this case, we consider installing a “dialer” from third-party developers. It is these types of applications that we will talk about in this article.
There are a variety of “dialers” for Android. They can have both very wide and standard functionality. They can also be paid or free. In the first case, you will most likely see advertisements regularly. In the second, there will be no advertising, but you will have to spend a certain amount. Finally, it can be equipped with a backup function to the cloud service of your choice. This will allow you to not rely strictly on Google's servers. However, enough of the lyrics. Let's get acquainted with what the best “dialers” are.
True Phone
A fairly simple but functional program. First of all, it is intended for those people whose pre-installed application for some reason refuses to work stably. Here, each contact is equipped with a round miniature. If the contact does not have a photo, then the first letter of the name is displayed in this thumbnail. If necessary, you can quickly move to the desired part of the list - for this, the alphabet on the right edge is used. All information in this and some other sections is on a black background. However, this is only the default - the color can be changed.
In total, True Phone consists of four tabs. In addition to “Contacts”, these are “Phone”, “Favorites” and “Groups”. The last section is very convenient. With its help, you can unite your entire family into one group, further simplifying the call of any relative.
Each contact here has its own page. The application also supports speed dialing. It is also important that the program has rich settings. In particular, you can easily change the size of the lines and font, as well as the color of any element. As expected, True Phone provides the ability to manage two SIM cards. You can even create two call buttons! The application also has experimental functions that can be activated.
In short, the developers did their best. They distribute their product for free. However, advertising will be displayed in the application settings (not immediately, but 7 days after installation). If it annoys you, you can spend a couple of dollars on the Pro version.
PixelPhone
Another free “dialer” for Android. Initially, Russian developers were involved in the development of the application. But later the program was acquired by Felink Technology. Its management liked the fact that the application not only supports work with three SIM cards if the smartphone has so many slots, but is also equipped with Antispam technology. However, from now on all advanced functions are contained only in PixelPhone Pro, which is distributed on a paid basis.
The contact book in this application is made in a traditional manner. Next to each entry there is a round miniature. If there is no photograph, then the miniature contains only the silhouette of a man. All contacts are divided alphabetically. You can navigate to the desired letter using the list on the right. You can also enter the first letters of your last name at any time using the search bar at the top of the interface. As with all applications of this kind, there is a “Blacklist” function. But even more, users should like the ability to change themes. By default, the Material theme is activated, which first appeared in Android 5.0.
exDialer
A very good dialer for Android with a built-in contact book. The application supports the Russian-language SmartDial, so the desired contact can be found in a couple of clicks. At the same time, the program works very quickly. Even if your contact book consists of several hundred entries, and the application is installed on an old smartphone with weak components.
Like many other Russian dialers for Android, exDialer has rich settings. At any time, the user can change the theme, as well as change the font sizes and various interface elements. Moreover, gestures are supported here, the reactions to which are also customizable. There is also support for plugins that can expand the functionality even further.
Unfortunately, the application will not suit everyone. The fact is that the free version is essentially a trial version - it only works for one week. As soon as you get used to the dialer, it refuses to start, requiring you to pay 230 rubles. However, this is not the largest amount - Smartbobr recommends forking out! This is the case when the application is worth the money they ask for it.
2GIS Dialer
ASUS Dialer
At one time, this call manager was present only on ASUS smartphones. But at some point, the Taiwanese manufacturer decided to popularize its creation a little more by posting it on Google Play. The program is completely free. From the word “in general”. There is no paid content or advertising. But you shouldn’t expect any extraordinary functionality. In fact, this is a standard “dialer” for Android, which has only basic capabilities. For example, the number of functions includes the repeatedly mentioned SmartDial, which makes it easier to find the desired contact. Any entry can be added to the “black list”. Moreover, this list of unwanted numbers is a separate section where there is detailed management of blocked contacts.
Support for themes can be considered a nice bonus. This feature allows you to quickly change the background and text colors. The utility also offers to use the so-called “simple mode”. In fact, it activates an interface for the visually impaired - all elements become very large, and some disappear completely (in particular, in this mode you will have to forget about SmartDial).
Drupe
A very unusual “dialer” for Android. The fact is that it offers a unique way to call up the contact book. After installing the program, you will see four dots on the left side of the screen. If you pull them, the Drupe application will open. It turns out that space on the desktop is freed up for one icon.
A special interface is also used inside the application itself. If you hold your finger on a contact, you can drag it to one of several icons. For example, drag a contact onto the messenger - a message entry window appears. Drag the contact onto the call icon and the call begins. Very comfortably! Any contact here can be created as a shortcut on the desktop. And not only on it - the shortcut can even be displayed on the lock screen! Another feature of this creation by the developers is the “Reminder”. Here you can enter an entry with a request to remind you to call a subscriber.
The interface of the contact book and other sections is far from Material Design. But at least this makes the application original. Of course, all menu items are translated into Russian, otherwise the program would not have been included in our selection. Nothing bad can be said about finding the right contact - the SmartDial function manifests itself in all its glory. But the not-so-rich settings are somewhat disappointing - only a few parameters can be changed.
The application turned out to be very convenient, but it will definitely take you some time to master the controls. It is also impossible not to note the fact that the fully functional version of Drupe costs money. You can use the free option, but it will be annoying with ads that appear regularly.
DW Contacts & Phone & Dialer
Another “dialer” that is a real combine. This “Contacts” application for Android has a colorful interface, which should appeal not so much to guys as to girls. At the same time, the search is implemented well here. If you've forgotten the name of someone you're calling, you can search by birthday, website, email, and more. As long as the required contact has the appropriate fields filled in... And there is also voice search!
When there is an incoming call, the program is able to pronounce the caller's name. She copes with this quite well. The application has a great implementation of a call log. Convenient sorting is available in it. You can also create a note in the call log at any time. This is a very useful feature, believe me!
Since this is a full-fledged combine, you can find all the information about the selected contact in one place. That is, you will see when he called you, all his SMS and various statistics. By the way, the time of all calls is constantly taken into account here. The program can notify you when your free time ends.
The application supports VoIP. This means that it can work with Skype, Viber and other Internet services of this kind. The user should also be pleased with the “Settings” section, in which almost everything is configured. You can also change the theme, which is good news. But the presence of advertising can be upsetting. The developers are literally forcing you to buy a paid version of their program.
Summarizing
This concludes our story about the best call managers for Android. There are a lot of similar applications created, but we recommend paying attention only to those discussed in this article. Some of the programs will definitely suit you 100%.
Have you ever used a third-party dialer? Or do you prefer the option pre-installed by the smartphone manufacturer? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.

There are sorely few quality callers and contact managers for Android. There are even fewer free ones, so many continue to use standard solutions and remain dissatisfied. But there is one application that deserves attention - from Russian developers, which recently received a major update.
Previously, the free version of this application was released as a gift to users for exactly a week, but the reviews were so positive that the developers decided to keep it forever. The paid version of “PP - dialer and contacts” (PixelPhone Pro), in turn, has new cool features - for example, the long-awaited call recording.
In fact, this is not only a dialer, but also a full-fledged contact manager with support for three SIM cards, many themes, Anti-spam technology and many other interesting functions. First of all, I would like to note the user-friendly interface, interesting design and the ability to quickly search through contacts using QWERTY and T9. Typing is accompanied by vibration/audio feedback and is multilingual, the size of the typing keyboard is adjustable, and there is a compressed numeric keypad. The most frequently used contacts are grouped and calls are saved.
The new version of PixelPhone Pro has the long-awaited ability to record calls and conversations - the subscriber will no longer be able to say that he did not say this or that phrase. The recorded conversation can be listened to in a special section of the application.
Another cool feature is tracking the location of the person who is calling you. This is especially useful when roaming, when you don’t know where the potential interlocutor is calling from.
The application automatically detects the SIM cards installed in your smartphone (up to three), and you can make calls using any of them by selecting them in a special menu. An annoying subscriber can be added to the black list so that they don’t bother you.
The appearance is tailored to each user, including font size, colors, photo size and more. In the application settings, you can select various themes, available for download completely free of charge.
One of the features of the “PP - dialer and contacts” application is group contact management. What is he like? For example, you can send a message to several contacts in a group at once, set a ringtone for a group of contacts, change a photo. Using gestures, you can swipe from left to right to write a message or make a call.
This dialer is already used by hundreds of thousands of Android users who have managed to evaluate it. The developers are actively working, as well as
We are talking about a program for dialing and answering incoming calls or, as it is also called, a dialer. This is one of the most important software components of any smartphone, ensuring the convenience and reliability of telephone communication.
The new version of Google's dialer has several interesting visual changes. The first thing that catches your eye is the new translucent background, under which you can see the wallpaper installed on your desktop. Now, when there is an incoming call, the contact photo is displayed directly on the action selection button, and not on top, as before. To accept a call, you need to slide this button up, and to hang up, slide it down.
To use the new dialer on your smartphone (Android 6.0+), you need to download the installation file (link below) and install it as a regular application. Don't forget that your device settings must allow installation of applications from unknown sources. Please note that the program is designed for smartphones running pure Android, so it is not compatible with all devices.
After installing the program, open the smartphone settings and activate the new dialer as the default dialer. After this, you can turn off the old dialer altogether.
