<\/p>\nSo we’re in April 2018, and I’m due for a new phone. So I did my research for the best phones to buy in 2018, and I came up with this list. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus hit general retail on Friday, March 16, 2018.<\/strong> It’s an evolution in the Galaxy S line, but one that leads as\u00a0close to perfection\u00a0as you can expect for a smartphone today.<\/p>\n If you prefer Android, the\u00a0Galaxy S9+\u00a0is a great big-screen phone, offering a gorgeous 6.2-inch display, fast Snapdragon 845 processor and a much improved camera that produces better images in low light and records awesome slow-motion video.\u00a0(The regular Galaxy S9 is also good, though it has less RAM and a smaller battery, and it doesn’t have dual rear cameras like the S9+.<\/p>\n Read our review on the Samsung S8 here.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the battle between Apple and Samsung for best smartphone, Apple currently has the edge with the\u00a0iPhone X.<\/strong> This 5.8-inch flagship demands a hefty $999, (N400K) but in return you get the best OLED display we\u2019ve tested along with top-notch cameras and innovative features like Face ID. Plus, this flagship\u2019s A11 Bionic processor blows away every Android phone.<\/p>\n The A11 Bionic is a six-core CPU, with two performance cores that promise a 25 percent boost in performance over the A10, and four high-efficiency cores that promise up to a 70 percent improvement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The S9 retails at $719.99 and S9+ at $839 respectively. That’s like N260k+ in Nigeria.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well… I hear the Google Pixel 3 will be out soon<\/a>. Dope! But before then… this is the only phone that could tear me from my love of the HTC phones. Like really! The Pixel 2 clues us in on why Google called its phone series Pixel: it was building the best camera on a phone. This second-generation effort fulfills that promise with not only the best-in-class photos, but also dual front-facing speakers and water-resistance. It’s a great size, but you’ll need to be okay with its dated looks and the fact that there\u2019s no headphone jack.<\/strong><\/p>\n Both the\u00a0Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL\u00a0offer snappy performance, a Google Assistant you can summon by squeezing the phone and an ingenious new Google Lens feature that can recognize everything from phone numbers and landmarks to restaurants in the photos you take. For our money, the Pixel 2 XL is the better choice among Google\u2019s phones, because you get a bigger and sharper 6-inch display, longer battery life and, frankly, a much better looking design from the front with less bezels. The Pixel 2 XL lacks wireless charging, but its fast wired charging works well, and its single rear camera produces shots that\u00a0give the iPhone X a run for its money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The Pixels each come in a couple of colors: Clearly White, Just Black, and Kinda Blue for the smaller model, and Just Black and Black & White for the larger.<\/p>\n The Pixel 2 starts at\u00a0$649\u00a0and you’ll spend at least\u00a0$849\u00a0for the XL. That’s about N250k in Naira.<\/strong><\/p>\n Recommended read: Check out our top phones list for 2017.<\/a> Some are still very relevant.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n2. IPHONE X<\/h3>\n
