Best Mobile Phones in India October 2017

The Apple iPhone 7 Plus may look like the iPhone 6s Plus, but apart from the design it is an all new phone. There are two major update to the new iPhone. First the iPhone 7 Plus has a dual camera setup, which takes really good images and second, it is powered by the all new Apple A10 chip. The Apple A10 is supremely fast and leaves all Android competitors behind. Previous iPhone users will also notice the slightly different antenna lines and the addition of a taptic, non-tactile home button. The other big upgrade is the IP67 certification, which makes the device dustproof and water resistant. The day to day battery life is also very good.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 is arguably the most beautiful smartphone on the market today. The Exynos 8895 chipset makes it fast and 18.5:9 Univisium aspect ratio allows the phone to be compact. Samsung went with the same camera as last time, with a few improvements. So, though it doesn’t beat the iPhone 7 Plus’ camera, it’s one of the best out there. In fact, many would find Samsung’s low light prowess better than Apple’s. It’s also a completely waterproof phone, with enough storage and RAM for power users.

For those who like the big screen more, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ 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 the most ergonomic big screen smartphone you can buy today. All things considered, the Samsung Galaxy S8+ is amongst the best smartphones to buy today.

After partnering with multiple phone makers over the years, Google has finally produced a smartphone which is made by Google through and through. Right from the software of the phone to the design, everything is done by Google. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 powered device is easily the best Android smartphone you can buy today. It offers a very familiar design and a superb 2K display. Google has also incorporated a brilliant camera on the phone which can easily stand against the likes of Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and even the iPhone 7. If 5.5-inch is too large for you to handle, you can settle for the 5-inch Google Pixel.

The OnePlus 5 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.

If you are looking for a flagship smartphone, which not only looks different but has top notch performance as well, then HTC U11 is the phone to pick. HTC carries over the same distinct and rather polarizing design of the HTC U Ultra and combines it with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. HTC has been generous enough to provide 6GB of RAM on the device along with 128GB of storage. However, the best part of the phone is the rear 12MP camera, which captures some really high quality images.

With 960fps slo-motion video recording and the only true 4K display, the Sony Xperia XZ Premium has the flagship gimmicks done right. The company has improved its camera by some margin and there’s a new mirror finish all around it. If premium and unique is what you want, the Xperia XZ Premium is certainly something people will notice.

The iPhone 7 may not have the dual camera setup as the 7 Plus, but it does carry all the other features directly from the bigger phone. Apple has kept the design similar to last year’s model but changed the tech inside. Like the 7 Plus, the 7 also features the faster Apple A10 chip and the new 12MP rear camera. The display is also brighter and the home button is now non-tactile. The battery life has improved and Apple has also added stereo speakers to the phone.

The LG G6 is a functional and adequate flagship. It runs on the Snapdragon 821 and has 4GB of RAM. LG has focuses on design, making full use of Univisium aspect ratio in making the smartphone compact and easy to use. The Snapdragon 821 is still a fast processor and LG’s dual-camera setup remains as good as it was last year. It’s not quite the best flagship you can buy, but it’s definitely one of the best smartphones on the market today.

Last year’s Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is another good phone which makes it into our list. It is not as good looking as the S8, but the S7 still beats some newer phones in terms of design. Also, the phone is waterproof and allows microSD cards for upto 200GB. It is powered by an Exynos 8890 SoC. There is 4GB of RAM and the phone is available in 32GB of internal storage. This last year’s flagship features an AMOLED display with a 2560 x 1440p resolution and a 3600mAh battery. The 12MP rear camera on this is still one of the best.
