Which Is The Best Smartphone?

5. Google Pixel 3a

We are going to start our best smartphones list with a phone from Google. For the budget-conscious buyer that always aims to get the best value from all his/her buys, the Google Pixel series has always delivered. The Google Pixel 3a is a flagship-grade phone, but it is half the price of its competitors, so you can easily get yourself a top grade phone without breaking the bank. It features a great OLED display, an amazing Camera, durable and solid built, lengthy battery life, and Google’s best software and support, it doesn’t get any better at that price.

The Google Pixel 3a doesn’t look or feel cheap, however, it lacks the premium flagship phone design due to its polycarbonate construction, but I wouldn’t complain. The phone is extremely light weighing just 5.2-ounces and measures 6×2.8×0.3-inches in total, it is nimble and compact, making it ultra-easy to carry.

It is also available in different paint jobs coming in with the plain Black, Purple, and Clearly White versions, all looking attractive but the Purple version is more “fun”. The device feels very sturdy in hands thanks to its glossy and matte surface in the back and it is one of the more solid and durable smartphones in the market so far.

The Google Pixel 3a rocks a 5.6-inch OLED display that delivers vivid colors, great viewing angles, and inky deep blacks without paying a hefty price. The resolution is also excellent at 2220×1080 pixels, it provides plenty of detail and overall a great viewing experience that I do not expect at this price point.

It achieves plenty of brightness at 401 nits and the manages to reproduce 182% of the sRGB color gamut.The 12.2-megapixel camera with an f/1.8 aperture looks a little incapable at first but delivers plenty of performance and it can do all the tricks big boys can do.

Performance-wise the Google Pixel 3a is equipped with a Snapdragon 670 CPU and 4GB of RAM, this provides this phone plenty of snappiness and quickness that is not far behind its premium competition.

In combination with the CPU comes in the small battery that together provides a great performance of about 12 hours in web browsing.

Overall, I have virtually no complaints about this phone, and it is a bargain.

4. Sony Xperia 1

The Sony Xperia 1 is the company’s new flagship phone destined and capable of truly big things. It is designed and manufactured to provide an excellent cinematic experience, and it does a great job as most of us stream our movies form our phones, the X1 makes that easier and better. It has plenty of performance to compete with its competitors, one of the cleanest Android interfaces as expected from Sony, cinematic video, excellent 4K display and different screen ratio that is very useful.

The Sony Xperia 1 has adopted an interesting approach here with a 21:9 aspect ratio resulting in a super tall screen that resembles a remote control. Reaching the top of the screen is a little difficult, but it is also pretty thin making it easier to wrap it in your hands. It is one of the most comfortable phones to hold with its rounded sides and corners, unlike other Sony smartphones with sharp angular designs.

On the front and the back you will have the protective Corning Gorilla Glass 6 for protection, that is a fingerprint and dust magnet in its own right, and on the back, you will spot the triple camera array that sits on the middle of the top, a truly beautiful design form Sony.

The Sony Xperia 1 is equipped with the world’s first 6.5-inch 4K HDR 21:9 OLED display with 3850×1644 resolution, which is perfect. The image is pretty sharp and it even supports HDR content, making the viewing experience more colourful, accurate and with exceptional contrast with supported content. I enjoyed streaming my favourite TV shows from Netflix on this display as it provides the best cinematic experience and it was extremely pleasing.

In the performance department, the Sony Xperia 1 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 CPU with 6GB of RAM that provides excellent speed and power, resulting in amazing multitasking and it can power through everything you throw at it.

It is the best effort at delivering an edge-to-edge display that looks futuristic compared to other phones, apart from that it is very big with its 6.4-inch screen, but it has a curved back to provide better grip and security. On the back of the device, you will spot the camera array with its three sensors and the flash and the heart rate monitor, but no fingerprint scanner on the back, this time around it is incorporated in the screen.

The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display delivers inky blacks, rich colours that pop and HDR support, and is simply mind-blowing. It can achieve about 1200nits of max brightness that is handy when you are out in sunny days, providing practicality even under direct sunlight.
