THE 5 BEST ANDROID PHONES YOU CAN FIND IN 2018

01

THE ABSOLUTE BEST

Google

Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL

PRICE$600

Google's Pixel 2 and larger Pixel 2 XL are our favorite smartphones, period. We gave them a and rated them higher than the venerable iPhone 8 in our list of best smart phone. The reasons are pretty simple. The Pixel 2 has an amazing camera that rivals the best of the best, it's as speedy as you'd expect, and it gets security and software updates directly from Google. No other Android phone, not even a Galaxy, gets timely updates. If you want the best Android experience, grab a Pixel. You won't regret it

RUNNER UP

Samsung

Galaxy S9

PRICE$719

If you want an Android phone with everything but the kitchen sink thrown in, Samsung's Galaxy S9  is the way to go. It was the first phone to feature the fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon processor on the market and everything else about it is mostly stellar. The software is familiar; the camera is outstanding; and the screen is gorgeous. Samsung also moved the fingerprint sensor, which was so close to the rear camera last year that you'd end up constantly smudging your lens. Especially if you've owned Galaxies in the past, this is a great upgrade.

03

THE BEST $500 PHONE

OnePlus

OnePlus 5T

PRICE$500

It's getting hard to find the OnePlus 5T and that's a shame. Though it came out in late 2017, OnePlus is likely hard at work on its successor, hopefully for release this year. There is no reason to avoid the OnePlus 5T if you can find it. It's an excellent phone that's as powerful as anything outside the Samsung S9. It's an excellent phone for under $600 and works on AT&T and T-Mobile 

04

THE BEST $300 PHONE

Motorola

Moto X4

PRICE$300

I've sung the praises of the Moto X4 for a few months. It's not the best ever, but for between 300 and 400 bucks, it's a terrific bargain. The camera works pretty well and it's compatible with all four major wireless networks in the U.S. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon). You don't sacrifice a lot to own the X4, but you save hundreds of dollars. It's a great starter phone for teens, too.

05

A FUTURE CULT CLASSIC

LG

LG V30

PRICE$740

The LG V30 (and newer V30+) is a phone that has no real downsides. Unfortunately, like many LG devices, it just isn't flashy enough to turn heads. That shouldn't matter to you, because this is a great phone. The V30  is as powerful as most any other phone and has perks that some don't, like a 1440p OLED screen, full IP68 waterproofing, and an actual 3.5mm headphone jack.
