This year proved to be a near about revolution for the Mobile Industry. The industry shifted from the conventional 16:9 HD convention to the all new 18:9 screen aspect ratio. Advanced security parameters like the face ID and face Lock also hit the markets. Over to it the bezel less displays and wireless charging were the icing on the cake manufacturers had for us in 2018. We’ve rolled out this list of the amazingly awesome beasts you’ll die to own after having an extensive insight of their speed, performance, backup, built and value for money!

10. Mi Mix 2

The Mi Mix 2 is the second iteration of the much loved Mi Mix. The phone is now easier to hold, thanks to the smaller display, but it retains its beautiful bezel-less display. However, The chin at the bottom with the front facing camera is still an annoying compromise. Performance is taken care of by the qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and it is available with 128GB storage, which is plenty. Mix 2 also has a very reliable battery life compared to other flagship smartphones. Buy-Now

9. Honor 10

Powered by HiSilicon Kirin 970 SoC, the 2018 Honor flagship killer is one of the best looking phones we have come across this year. The performance is almost at par with the OnePlus 6, but the Honor 10 gains brownie points in the camera department as well as offering a better battery life. Best of all, the phones comes with Android Oreo out of the box. Buy Now

8. Nokia 6.1

The Nokia 6.1 offers great build quality, something the Nokia brand has always been associated with. While everyone else turns to glass, the Nokia 6.1 is unashamedly metal and it retains a 16:9 aspect ratio and big bezels around its screen. A dull, dated look is skillfully sidestepped with a series of arresting anodized copper highlights that really make this phone pop. Buy Now

7. Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Samsung has done a lot for Android, and this year it has one of the best Android phones to buy in India so far. The Galaxy Note 8 has an excellent camera, it’s fast and it’s arguably one of the prettiest Android phone out there. It is also the only phone which offers support for a stylus. It’s meant for flagship buyers who don’t want any compromise whatsoever, and if money is no bar, this is the Android phone to buy. Buy Now

6. Asus Zenfone 5z

Asus’s flagship for 2018 is criminally underpriced for the hardware and features it offers. For the most part, it is a combination of the powerful hardware of the OnePlus 6 and the AI capabilities of the Honor 10. But the best part about Zenfone 5z is that it’s priced lower than both the OnePlus 6 and the Honor 10.

5. Google Pixel 2 XL

Google’s Pixel 2 XL is the best Android phone we’ve ever used. The Pixel range continues to be the only Android phones that can fully compete with Apple’s iPhone in several key areas — security, timely software updates, customer service, and software design. If you’re an Android fan who will never buy an iPhone, the Pixel 2 XL is the best phone you can buy. Google went with LG to manufacture the Pixel 2 XL, and it’s able to perfectly optimize the hardware and the software — similar to what Apple does with the iPhone. That approach, plus the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM, makes the Pixel 2 XL the most powerful Android phone around. Buy Now

4. Apple iPhone X

The iPhone X represents the next decade of Apple’s signature product. Gone is the home button in favor of a modern, edge-to-edge “bezel-less” design that makes it easily identifiable. This change brings an all new gesture-based way to interact with the iPhone that’s satisfyingly fun. While it features technologies we’ve seen before in other Android phones, Apple often does them best. The high-resolution OLED screen, which DisplayMate recently affirmed as the best, is energy-saving and colorful, with inky, deep blacks; it makes watching videos and movies feel a little more immersive.

3. OnePlus 6

All things considered, the OnePlus 6 is a great smartphone. In fact, it’s the fastest Android smartphone out there today. For Android lovers, and especially the enthusiasts, the OnePlus 6 is a good phone to consider. It has a commendable but not perfect camera, but it will do the job very well. Combined with decent battery life, it makes for a great smartphone. Buy Now

2. Samsung Galaxy S9+

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is an extremely powerful smartphone, but unlike the S9, this one’s meant for big screen lovers. It has a 6.2 inch QHD display and Samsung’s AMOLED panels look as good as ever. It carries the same design as the Galaxy S8 and is the most ergonomic big screen smartphone today. To make a long story short, the Samsung Galaxy S9+ is the smartphone to buy if big screen and attractive looks are your priorities. All this makes the Samsung Galaxy S9+, the best among all the Android mobile phone in India. Buy Now

1. Apple iPhone 8

The iPhone X may be “better” on paper, but it might not be the iPhone that best fits your needs; X still appears to be a brainchild far from a refined being. Amazingly balanced to deliver both power and performance, iPhone 8 is one of the most awaited smartphones. The phone packs up the A11 bionic chipset with the so called “super” Retina HD display that appears sharp and crisp even under bright sunlight. The device even being bigger then the X fits your palms perfectly and the UI is an icing on the cake. Superb Noise cancellation and wireless charging are the features that Apple have integrated magically to win the battle against all its rivals, only to crown its iPhone not only as a game changer but also the best smartphone in market this year.
