Top 10 Best Android Smartphone 2018
The Year 2018 is just over. In near a week, we will welcome a new year with the expectation that 2019 will be healthier for ourselves and the relaxation of the world. We’re looking forward to too many exciting technologies being executed. For one, there’s the foldable phone that Samsung may be featuring in the first quarter. There’s also the 5G connectivity being maintained by most premium flagship devices. The smartphone industry has been booming in the past decade. We’ve seen many ups and downs and we’ve all witnessed pretty stimulating phone models specifically this year.
We’ve listed below some of the ‘Best Smartphones of 2018’. They’re our favorites in no special order. We’re not counting or ranking them but mainly our excellent is based on how the phone made an impression during launch, hands-on, teardowns, and for some, our own reviews.
Huawei P20 Pro
The Huawei P20 Pro is an obvious favorite because of the camera arrangement. The top Chinese OEM has started another trend after the highly successful double cameras that other companies have already followed. At the moment and still reigning since March, the Huawei P20 Pro is still the No. 1 phone on DxOMark Mobile ranking with an average score of 109. All these are made likely by the Leica triple lens organization which has remained a total game-changer.
Samsung Galaxy S9+
The Samsung Galaxy S9+ was familiarized in the first quarter of the year. It is certainly an improved version of the Galaxy S8–newer software, improved camera, and better overall performance. We like the fast-wireless charging and the fact it still has an audio headphone jack. There’s also the expandable storing and a high price tag. Some people aren’t pleased with the battery life but good thing there is now a more effective battery saving mode.
Pocophone F1
If you’re a gamer and you want value for money, the Pocophone F1 from Xiaomi can be a great choice. The phone is very reasonable at around $350. We’re still scratching our heads though as to how Xiaomi can still proposal it at that price when there’s previously Snapdragon 845 processor and other powerful components. We were speculating how the phone was made inexpensive with all the premium specs.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9
We tagged the Galaxy Note 9 as Samsung’s another chance. We’ve told you all you needed to know. The phone boasted record-setting exhibition on DisplayMate. It outperforms the iPhone XS Max in a battery test. It’s still the No. 1 phone rendering to Consumer Reports. It may have low repairability but the phone is absolutely premium, water-resistant, and powerful.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 received a pleasant spot on DxoMark mobile ranking with a score of 103, ranking third and tied with the HTC U12+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The device astonished the market by hiding the double selfie cameras and being ready with 10GB RAM. We thought it would have 5G provision but it isn’t ready yet. The unit derived after the Black Shark was exposed so we were in awe that Xiaomi had a lot of countless phones to offer.
HTC U12+
We’ve got our hands on the HTC U12+ and renowned it has more edges, more cameras but still with no notch. The phone hit DxOMark and the results were decent. Four cameras made a mark.
Google Pixel 3 XL
The Pixel 3 XL was made certified in October and we told you 10 things you wanted to know. It may have some glitches and issues. It was named as a new top winner on DisplayMate. The phone has previously been tested for toughness and it passed.
OnePlus 6T
The OnePlus 6T once again showed why OnePlus is still India’s top-selling smartphone brand. We proved the phone’s toughness. We like the fact that it features an in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone was even shadowed by a OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition that originated with 10GB of RAM. The phone also hit DxOMark with a score of 97, ranking 7th.
LG V35 ThinQ
The premium smartphone launched as an Amazon Prime Exclusive version. It made our choice for an LG phone tougher. Compared to the LG G7, it offers an improved and smart camera–the AI CAM. It boasts of 19 shooting modes, Live Photo, Stickers for fun overlay, and Portrait mode with bokeh effects.
Honor Play
Huawei’s Honor Play is a premium-looking mid-range for all-day gaming. It’s only a budget gaming phone armed with Huawei’s GPU Turbo. The top Chinese OEM hopped into the gaming phone movement with this model. It now runs on EMUI 9.0 Android 9 Pie so we know it’s improved than ever.
Great smartphone list
