The Google Pixel 2 XL had a rough start, but Google promptly fixed the display issues and hence, the Pixel 2 XL secures its place in this list of top phones of 2018. The device quite simply the best pictures you can click via a smartphone right now. The device carries forward the design DNA of last year’s Pixel, but refines it further to make it even more premium

Apple iPhone X


As far as flagships go, the Apple iPhone X is the best phone in 2018. The phone offers a power packed performance, thanks to the Apple A11 Bionic chip and also has one of the best cameras we have encountered this year. The battery life is also better than previous iPhone and will last you a day with light usage. One of the most talked about feature on the phone is face unlock, which works most of the times.

ONE PLUS 5T




OnePlus did it again. Its latest phone, the OnePlus 5T, pairs the right high-end hardware and software with the right price, making it one of the best value phones you can buy anywhere. It remains one of those rare devices that can take on phones with slightly brawnier specs and higher price tags like the Galaxy Note 8 ($915.48 at Amazon.com) and LG V30 ($799.99 at Best Buy). That price-to-value ratio is exactly the reason why the 5T, like the last OnePlus phones before it, is one of the best mid-priced phones you can buy and earned CNET's Editor's Choice Award.

It's not perfect, of course -- no phone is. One of the OnePlus 5T's biggest warts is that it's only an incremental hop from the OnePlus 5 ($599.99 at Amazon.com) we saw just five months ago. So, while the 5T is genuinely impressive for new buyers, anyone who already owns a OnePlus 5 can join me in a big shrug.

In fact, OnePlus 5 owners have a right to be annoyed that their phone is now "old news." (And OnePlus no longer sells the 5, so unless you're buying it through another channel, this is your only option.)

OnePlus 5T: Bigger screen, same design
The 5T keeps much of the 5's internal hardware, including the processor, battery and headphone jack, which is becoming so endangered these days. But the screen and camera are what changed most. The 5T's 6-inch AMOLED display now takes up most of the phone face and OnePlus swapped out the 20-megapixel telephoto lens on its dual camera, replacing it with a lens for low light.

Incremental updates have quickly become the OnePlus way. In just four years, this Chinese brand has whipped up a fervent global cult following, based on undercutting the costlier competition. And while the OnePlus 5T isn't as cheap as the first OnePlus flagship in 2014 (when it was $299, or about £180 and AU$320 converted), it's still affordable.

(Keep in mind, however, that the OnePlus 5T launched during the holidays, when the most competitive retail months and season in the US and elsewhere are underway. All of the best phones of the year will go through fluctuating sales and discounts during this time, and many older-but-still-great flagship phones can be bought at even bigger discounts, sometimes at even two-for-one offers.

OnePlus 5T versus OnePlus 5: What's different?
A few things, but not a lot. Here are the biggies:


Larger display

The most noticeable and really only envy-inciting difference between the OnePlus 5 and 5T is the 5T's larger display, which now measures 6 inches instead of 5.5. Because the bezels are thinner, the 5T's physical size remains relatively the same. On paper, it is a few millimeters taller and thicker, and about 0.3 ounces (9 grams) heavier, but I didn't notice a difference in my hand.

With the new size, the display's resolution is still just as sharp (pixels per inch hold steady at 401ppi), but the aspect ratio has gone from 16:9 to 18:9, the same ratio you see in Samsung's Galaxy S8 ($899.11 at Amazon.com) and S8 Plus, LG's V30 and G6, and the Google Pixel 2 XL ($849.99 at Best Buy). Some argue that this ratio offers a better, more comfortable viewing experience. But I like it because it gives you a larger canvas for doing all the things you usually do on a phone.

Face unlock is new, but not secure

The iPhone X ($1,149.00 at Apple) made face unlock a thing with Face ID, which sprays your mug with harmless infrared lights to map out your features and prove that you are you.

But not all face unlocking is created equally, and OnePlus 5T admits that its new feature isn't all that secure -- at least not secure enough for mobile payments. Samsung's Galaxy S8, S8 Plus and Note 8 have face unlock too, and they're not secure enough to authorize purchases through Samsung Pay either.

Still, face unlock does give you another way to unlock your phone, and ease some of that iPhone X FOMO. It works incredibly fast and recognizes over "100 facial identifiers" to unlock the phone, according to OnePlus. (Read more: How to set up face unlock on the OnePlus 5T.)

The feature worked when I wore glasses and sunglasses, and it was able to discern my real-life face from a 8.5x11-inch print out. It's a useful, time-saving method to unlock your phone, but that's pretty much it. Tsk.

Better low-light camera at the expense of optical zooming

OnePlus made some interesting changes to its dual-camera setup. There's still a 16-megapixel main camera, but what used to be a 20-megapixel telephoto lens now is a lens designed to take better low-light shots.

For camera fans, this secondary lens has the same focal length as the main camera, which means that you can still capture bokeh-style portrait photos, and there won't be any auto-cropping when you take them (something that the OnePlus 5 did). But because OnePlus widened the aperture on the second lens, night-time and lowlight photos look a lot more detailed. The downside though is that telephoto or "optical' zoom is gone, so all the zooming you do on the phone will be carried out digitally.

Samsung Galaxy S8 AND S8 PLUS


The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a great design and is without a doubt the most beautiful smartphone on the market today. It runs on a fast and up to date Exynos 8895 SoC, built on the 10nm process. Samsung has touched up on the camera as well, but it’s largely the same as last time. That, though means that the camera is still amongst the best in the market. Just not better than the Google Pixel (which is also why it’s behind that phone). The Galaxy S8 is the best Android smartphone for those looking for looks above all else.
