Top 10 Smartphones to Watch Out For

As you know, we’re living in the smartphone era. With so many different brands and styles of phones available to us, it can be difficult to know which phone to purchase as your next top-of-the-line model. If you’re looking to purchase a new phone in the next few months, check out these top 10 smartphones to watch out for!

1) The iPhone X

The iPhone X is a smart phone with a 4.7 inch screen and LCD display. The iPhone X has many new features including, but not limited to, TrueDepth camera that enables Face ID for facial recognition and animoji for sending animated emoji via messaging. It also has wireless charging capabilities, enhanced security systems and machine learning capabilities. The battery life lasts up to two hours longer than previous models, which means more time between charges! The best feature of the iPhone X is hands down the touchless gesture function.

2) The Google Pixel 3XL

Google's Pixel 3XL is the new flagship smartphone from Google and it has some pretty big shoes to fill. Is it a worthy successor? Here are seven things you need to know about the new device. 

1) It has an edge-to-edge display with 19:9 aspect ratio and 87% screen-to-body ratio which makes it larger than any other flagship Android phone on the market right now. 

2) The device also comes with Snapdragon 845 which will be updated with all of the latest optimizations available in Android 9, giving you a fluid experience while interacting with your phone (if you're not rooting or using a custom ROM).

3) Onboard storage starts at 64GB but can be increased up to 128GB if needed.

3) The Galaxy Note 9

Samsung just made a lot of people happy with the release of their newest Galaxy Note 9. If you're an iOS user and you're wondering what the fuss is about, take note that this Android-based device runs on an octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM. It's also waterproof! If you want something that takes great photos then check out this affordable beauty. With Android 8, it has more features than Apple's new devices.

4) The LG V40 Think 

The LG V40 Think is an android smart phone and in my opinion, one of the top ten smart phones. This phone has many features including: the ability to record videos in various resolutions and formats, facial recognition for unlocking the device, hand drawn emoji support and better sound quality thanks to DTS-X surround sound speakers. The phone also includes three 12-megapixel cameras that are housed on the back side with a dual front camera that is able to produce depth and bokeh effects as well as being able to take photos or shoot video in portrait mode.

5) The OnePlus 6T

There are many high-end Android smartphones worth checking out, but the OnePlus 6T packs a new type of screen that might make it worth waiting for. Plus, it's launching at a fraction of the price as comparable Android competitors. It does run on the older Snapdragon 845 chipset, but that should be good enough for most people and an update is coming soon. But if you're an iOS user and can't stand change or just want to be compatible with what all your friends have, then the iPhone XR is still going strong and if you've got an Apple addiction, then there's always last year's flagship device.

6) The Moto Z3 Play

Last month, Motorola took the wraps off the Moto Z3 Play, which has a series of exclusive hardware features and the latest software enhancements. The Moto Z3 Play is designed to go wherever you go with IP68 water resistance, a bezel-less 6-inch Super AMOLED display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. It also comes with shatter proof display that's four times stronger than gorilla glass (and two times as strong as dual layer) and can handle up to 1.8 meters without dropping signal. The phone also ships with support for microSD cards and has 4GB of RAM in its 64GB storage model or 6GB of RAM in its 128GB variant.

7) The Razer Phone 2

The Razer Phone 2 has the distinction of being one of the first Android smartphones in 2018 to come with a 120Hz screen. This basically means that it refreshes the content displayed on your phone’s screen 120 times per second, giving you a smoother and more responsive experience than is possible with most other phones currently on the market. The Razer Phone 2 also features 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, Dolby Atmos speakers, a 4000mAh battery and USB-C support.

8) The Honor View 20

The Honor View 20 is a phone that blends the futuristic design of a foldable device with the performance of a typical Android flagship. The first thing you'll notice about the Honor View 20 is how thin it is. At just 6.39mm, it's by far one of the thinnest phones on this list. Plus, its all-glass design really looks nice. You're not likely to find a better-looking phone anywhere near this price range. But, don't let the beautiful exterior fool you - beneath that sleek exterior lies plenty of power in this phone's 128GB internal storage, 6GB RAM and built-in NFC chip. Unlike most flagships out there these days, you can also find an IR blaster inside for those home entertainment needs!

9) The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3

The phone is available in China for a modest price of around $400. The display is 91.4 percent screen-to-body ratio. This is the highest ratio on any phone so far, with the next closest competitor at 77.9 percent. Xiaomi also offers a unique Face ID feature that uses recognition algorithms built into the display instead of any 3D sensors on the front or back like other smartphones.

10) Infinix Note 10 pro

If you're looking for a truly groundbreaking smartphone, look no further than the Infinix Note 10 Pro. This phone has it all: six cameras, powerful performance, an elegant design and sleek frame-less display. With an octa-core CPU and 6GB of RAM as well as 128GB of storage, this is one high-performance smartphone that can multitask with ease and has plenty of power for both work and play. As if that weren't enough, this handset also features a 4200mAh battery so you can go days without recharging if necessary.
