Best Mobile Phones in India

As far as flagships go, the Apple iPhone X is the best phone in 2017. 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. All this makes the iPhone X the best phones to buy in India.

For those who like the big screen more, the Samsung Galaxy S9+ brings a 6.2 inch display and QHD resolution. The AMOLED panel looks good and the Exynos 8895 SoC keeps things fast and smooth. With the same camera as the Galaxy S8, this is basically for those looking for an Android smartphone with a big screen. In fact, it’s also among the most ergonomic big screen smartphones you can buy today.

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 2017. 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. Hence, if you like the pure Android ecosystem, the Google Pixel 2 XL is the best phone to buy in India.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 brings the perfect combination of premium design and high end features. It’s not faster than the iPhone 8 Plus, but the best smartphone out there is not about speed alone. The Galaxy Note 8 has an excellent camera, it’s amongst the fastest Android phones out there, and it has the best display on the market.

The newest version of the iPhone is not a big update over its predecessor, but given that last year’s iPhone has ruled this list so far, the iPhone 8 Plus has to be here. The iPhone 8 Plus has one of the best cameras on the market and it’s the fastest smartphone you can find today. It brings all of Apple’s newest feature, and if you can afford the steep pricing, it’s a good phone to buy.

The OnePlus 6 is without a doubt the fastest Android smartphone on the market today. However, it’s not quite the “flagship killer” that the company has been known for. OnePlus’ dual-camera algorithms aren’t quite flagship class, but the phone still has a great camera. It’s one of the best Android phones out there, and one that’s meant for people who want a fast Android phone, but don’t care about the peripheral gimmicks.

AI is the most used buzzword right now and the Honor 10 leaves no stone unturned in touting its AI-centric features. And for good reason, because the Kirin 970 chipset that powers it has a dedicated NPU that takes care of machine learning tasks. The phone is all-rounder with a stunning glass design and a AI-powered camera. If only the UI was a little more palatable.

LG’s V30+ is the second phone from the company which takes a stab at the premium smartphone segment. Like most flagships this year, it is also powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and features a dual camera setup at the back. LG’s UI is still as good as what we have seen on some other flagships, but the large battery life does make up some lost ground.

Xiaomi finally brought the Miix series to India this year and in its second iteration, the phone brings a lot of hardware for its price. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and featuring 6GB of RAM along with 128GB storage, the phone offers comparable performance as any other flagship smartphone. The phone is built out of premium materials like ceramic, but it does some work in the camera department.

Launched IFA 2018, the Sony Xperia XZ1 is the best Sony has to offer this year. The phone has one of the most understated designs (among flagships) of this year, which may appeal to some. The performance is handled by the Snapdragon 835 and the phone is quite snappy. However, the battery life and the camera aren’t that great.
