<\/p>\nSmartphone variety and selection has absolutely gone through the roof lately \u2013 which is great news for consumers who want access to a host of options. Unfortunately, it also means making decisions takes a bit longer because there\u2019s more info to sift through \u2013 but we can help you with a short list of the best of the best currently available!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The iPhone Xs is unequivocally the strongest Apple device available at the moment, effectively serving as the update to the iPhone X. It\u2019s got an exceptionally powerful hardware set, multiple storage options, an attractive design, and some cutting edge features like gesture control and facial recognition unlocking functions taken from the X. If you\u2019re an iOS fan and you need to be at the forefront of Apple\u2019s tech, this should be your go-to. The only drawbacks are that the devices have once again seen a price increase that\u2019s pushing these to an absurd cost range.<\/p>\n
Samsung is still leading the charge when it comes to Android devices. If you\u2019re using your smartphone for everything from business networking to watching Netflix and need a powerful Swiss-army knife of a smartphone then the S9 should be a strong consideration.<\/p>\n The Note 9 is really for the spec nerds that require their smartphones to be able to perform at the cutting edge, with very few compromises made on hardware and capabilities (and also price, consequently). The Note 9 has a massive 6.4-inch screen, which is rather narrow and may take a day or two to adjust to for those coming from conventional smartphones, but it\u2019s one of the most highly spec’d phones out there right now and offers everything one could ask for, including the Samsung DeX desktop experience support, which allows the Note 9 to use its impressive performance to imitate a desktop experience.<\/p>\n Huawei\u2019s been doing an impressive job of giving Samsung a run for their money when it comes to highly capable Android devices. They\u2019ve positioned themselves as the option for photography enthusiasts, and that\u2019s definitely where the P20 Pro shines. With its 40MP primary rear camera lens (but it has three in total), you get exceptional resolution and excellent performance. The rest of its hardware keeps pace with the flagships of other big brands, too, so don\u2019t worry that the rest of its functionality won\u2019t be up to par.<\/p>\n Nokia\u2019s been a bit of a straggler when it comes to the smartphone game \u2013 but they\u2019re working their way back into the mix, albeit slowly. The Nokia 8 is particularly remarkable because of how much value they\u2019ve packed into a very well-priced smartphone. It\u2019s not what you would call a flagship-slayer, but it\u2019s the perfect phone for people who aren\u2019t too concerned about cutting edge specs and who just want a powerful, capable smartphone. It has Gorilla Glass for a durable screen, great RAM and storage, a strong chipset, and offers a really complete package at a price that isn\u2019t exorbitant.<\/p>\n If you really want\u00a0to save yourself a stressful Friday of running around the shops, simply have a scroll through the smartphone deals on PriceCheck<\/a>.
