Release date: March 2018| Weight: 189g| Dimensions: 158.1 x 73.8 x 8.5mm| OS: Android 8| Screen size: 6.2-inch| Resolution: 1440 x 2960| CPU: Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810| RAM: 6GB| Storage: 64GB/128GB| Battery: 3,500mAh| Rear camera: Dual 12MP| Front camera: 8MP
While many try, it can be really hard to beat a Samsung flagship that nails just about every aspect of being a great Android smartphone. The Galaxy S9 Plus offers so much to meet the varied needs of just about any phone user.
The design of the Galaxy S9 Plus is great, with a nearly bezel-less display measuring 6.2 inches across. That screen is crisp with a high resolution, and it’s only made better by the Super AMOLED technology. And, let’s not forget about the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and an IP68 rating against water and dust ingress.
Pair that great design with powerful internals, ample storage that’s expandable via microSD card, and a suite of capable smartphone camera sensors, and you’ve got an easy winner. The pot is only sweetened by the lower price of the Galaxy S9 Plus compared to phones like the Mate 20 Pro, iPhone XS, and Galaxy Note 9.

Release date: August 2018| Weight: 205g| Dimensions: 162 x 76.4 x 9mm| OS: Android 8.1| Screen size: 6.4-inch| Resolution: 2960×1440| CPU: Exynos 9810| RAM: 6/8GB| Storage: 128/512GB (up to 1TB with card)| Battery: 4,000mAh| Rear camera: 12MP + 12MP| Front camera: 8MP
If it weren’t for the slightly bulkier design and the higher price, the Galaxy Note 9 would likely be at the top of this list. But, it still lands a neat second place behind the S9 Plus.
With a sharp, 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, it’s offering a great viewing experience for anyone that’s on the go often. Inside, it’s powered by the same components as the Galaxy S9 Plus, but with larger storage capacities available, a bigger battery, and more RAM optional.
The Galaxy Note 9 sets itself apart with the S Pen, which enables some handy hands-free features and smooth note-taking. The cameras on front and back are just as impressive as the Galaxy S9 Plus shooters. For everything that the S9 Plus offers and a little bit more, this is a winner if you have the wiggle room in your budget.

Huawei’s Mate 20 Pro isn’t the easiest to get your hands on in the US, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive a phone. It’s the best we’ve ever seen from Huawei, and stacks up well against all other Android phones.
