2017: TOP 5 PHONES TO BUY

Number 3 | Google Pixel 2

The Pixel 2 XL has seen a large redecorate, but the Pixel 2 feels very familiar. Like HTC’s flagship, the sides of the Pixel 2 are pressure-sensitive, so pressing on them with greater pressure opens up the Google Assistant. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 835, but not the up to date Snapdragon 836 that we had been anticipating. It’s got a 4GB RAM and certainly the Pixel 2 will prove top notch-speedy in operation.

Number 2 | iPhone 8 Plus

One of the most eagerly awaited smartphones of the year. The 5.5-inch screen looks beautiful and the phone itself looks much neater. The new glass back makes the phone look much more premium and feels more premium too. The camera has been upgraded and pictures look even more crisp and sharper than ever before. The A11 Bionic processor is one of the fastest processors around. The phone comes with iOS 11 and comes packed with features.

Number 1 | Samsung Galaxy S8

Samsung had a lot to prove to themselves and to the world after the battery facade which plagued the company with the S7.

Samsung responded emphatically with the stunning Galaxy S8. This is the most beautiful phone on the market right now with its Infinity Edge display taking the plaudits when it comes to the next generation of smartphone designs.

The beauty turns into a beast under the skin as it features class-leading specs, the best camera currently fitted to a phone, respectable battery life, seamless performance paired with the best Android OS to date.
