Top 10 Smartphones 2020

Th then 13 phones that I absolutely love and number 5 in this list of runners UP is the new iPhone se to be clear I like almost everything about it its got the build Quality and the performance

Build quaility and the Performance of a thousand dollar phones and its 399 even the camera is really quite good its just the battery life isn’t

 

annd just that the battery life isn’t its not just a case that battery isn’t the strong Point to the phone its more

The you know it could actually cause you a bit of a problem and if you are going to use your phont for 2 to three years it’s only gonna get worse over that period so if you are considering the

SE e I perosnally think there better options but We’ll come to them number Four is a phone that looks pretty unremarkable on paper you could read though the phones entire spec sheet

And not a single thing would jump out at you is wow that’s really very good but the Google pixel 3a is 1 of the nicest phones to use for the three hundred dollar you can

It out now clean google software with a pretty decent OLED screen but with this phone Google has kind of shifted the balance for what they

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

Think is important to a phone away from really high- end materials this things made of plastic and away from a screen that fills the entire front of the phones for this the

camera I was just messing around with it a few weeks ago taking photos its so Impressive the I came back wondering

If even my forteen hundred dollar Galaxy s 20 ultra could have done this the reason its only an honorable mention is because this is their mid range

Phone from last year and is soon to be replaced by the Google pixel for

a so if you bought it now you might be a little bimmed in a couple of months but that brings me to the

 

pixel for which is the compnys top end flagship from last year and might be a bit of a surprise I’m even mentioning this at all because

whent it launched for eight hundred dollar under and the whole thing was undercut by poor battery life if

A phone can’t get thorough a full day of usage then as far as I’m corncerned it could have the coolest features on the planet it could tie your shoelaces

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

For you but I can’t recommend it however in a bit of a surprise turn of events after a few updates pixel for battery life improved in my testing that doesn’t happen very often

To be clear and add to the there in most regions you can now get the pixel for like Four hundred ninteen nine dollar and I think it’s actually quite a viable Alternative to the iPhone se

Number 2

Is a bit of a sad story were talking a smart phones that has an incredible set of cameras really really good performance and a market leading diaply this is the oppo find x2 pro and under different circumstances this could

 

Well have been a smartphones of the year the catch is that it’s been pretty much invalidated by the existence of the OnePlus 8 Pro barely a month after the find x2 OnePlus dropped a  phone with almost identical similar design and a software skin I think most pealpe will prefer

And a much lover price tag and that turns this opera phone into basically a luxury Alternative to the OnePlus this phone has a Beautyfull vegan leather finish I want more companies to do this feels like a supercar the cameras they can zoom further but from a pratical stand Point I just don’t think practical standpoint I just don’t think is worth the extra money and then the final runner UP is also from Oppo is the Renault 3 Pro

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

I use this phone for like two whole month this year which is far longer than I usually use mid range phones you could think of this as a nearly flagship camera Stuck on a mid range phones body

 

I just would have liked to See a higher end chipset inside of it  okey those are the good smart phones and that leaves us with the best smart phones and l’ve categorized them for the different kinds

 

Of buyer with one overall champion at the end it’s a First of all if you’re anything like me and you are almost a little bit of smartphones overtaking the size of your face you just want a compact falgship there are three very good options just as a disclamer I say the word compact in a fairly loose sence the word because most good phones

 

Now are not small phones but these 3 should be pretty manageable for All hands of all Galaxy 20 and This is pretty much d compact phone l’ve been asking for 4 years

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

It’s got the Latest everything in fastest chipset RAM storage the camera this is quintessential Samsung and the screen is in the top five diaplays on a phone right now were talking quad HD plus AMOLED 120 Heatz panel and the batteries Great if you get the snapdragon Version and that’s one caveat if you’re in a region like the UK or India where Samsung serves the exynos version

 

Battery life falls from Great to pretty good altenatively iPhone 11 pro and I mean I could say err comparing the features but this really boils down to the question do you want an iPhone and you want an andoroid if you are open to either I say try the Galaxy s 20 it’s got 5 G and the 120

 

Hertz Display will make it feel faster but rest assured if you go for the iPhone 11 pro it’s UP there too and Finally the last compact phone is actually the Galaxy s 10 ll now I generally try to stay away from rwcommending othe phones because they’Are just going to become outdated faster but because this category of compact flagship phones doesn’t get to much love this is still one the better options for now closer to 5 hundred Dollar good camera Great screen and this just feel like it was made for your palm incredibly comfortable to hold ok

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

Gamimg phones and to be honest this to that Wind by an absolute landslide the First one is the red magic 5g which is surprisingly Affordable and quite possibly the fastest smartphone

On the planet it’s also got a 144 hertz display that’s the kind of refresh rate you See on High end pc gaming moniter

 

These gaming phones I xiaomi  black shark 3 pro somehow even more outlandish were talking a 7.1 inch quad HD plus 90 hearz Amoled display a phone with a five thousand milliamp hour battery a 65 watt charger and dedicated trigger buttons that hide themselves when the are ont in use I remember when I First found out about the existence of this phones and it took me a grand

 

Total of minute to scrap the video I was currently working on and focused all my efforts on getting this and reviewing it and I can conform it’s a pleasure to use as well providing you know it fits in your hand but at this Point I should clarify that technically

Any of these flagship phones can play Games just fine buying a gaming phone is for people who are happy to take a bit of a hit in the camera Department for starts and be people who play Games either compertitively or just for long periods of time otherwise you might not even See the benifits at all you’ll just be that person who holds a TV to their ear to make a phone call l’ve had a few people ask me should I save a bit of money and buy an older gaming phone like

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

Let’s say the asure rog phone and the answer is probably not the way I See it if you want to Games seriously on your phones the number 1 priority is having the best performance so if you’re picking UP a gaming phone from last year there has an older chip then all of those optimizations are paying for like liquid cooling or physical fan inside they are a bit redundant you’d get better performance if you bought just the cheapest

 

Current phone with the Latest chip even if didn’t have all those things but but oky my main problem with gaming phones the reason I don’t use one is that they tend to sacrifice on photography but if you did want to take Great photos if for you your smartphone is just as much about it’s

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

Camera as it is about connecting you with people then the Huawei p40 pro is the best photography experiance l’ve had on a phone as long as you are okay with the fact that there are no Google services pre built on this

 

Phones if for example you’re perfectly happy with Huawei’s own app gallary or if you’re a bit of a tinkerer and you wanted to try and sideload Google then this is an awesome bit of hardware with good Battery life but I mean you can get good battery life from any of these phones l’ve put on my top list but what if you wanted Great what if you wanted to wake UP in the morning download ten movies spend the entire day watching them and them finish that all off with a session of gaming well there’s two Great options – iPhone 11 pro max and sumsung Galaxy 20 ultra again though snapdragon version they are both seriously expensive and just big phone but as far as phones  with massive batteries are concerned there’s still 2 of them all balanced offerings lane be clear you can get phones with bigger batteries in these two but a good smartphone experience is all about balance what you don’t want is a mediocre smartphone with a power bank tape it’s back on the subject of iPhones though and I though long and hard about whether or not I should include this but I decided it’s important to have an Affordable iPhone catagory

 

And this sounds like a pretty Strange idea but here the things if there was one undisputable samrtphone king at each price Point my job would be pretty easy all

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

I need to do is to just find out How much someone was willing to pay and then be like ok this is the best phone you can get with that but people have different perferences things that for them are Based requirements in a phone that they choose and the one I See the most

Is I need it to be an iPhone have a lot of People I know personally who don’t ask which phone should I buy they asked which iPhone should I buy because they want Apple feature like face time and I message etc so if you are in that group and you don’t have the absolute too end iPhone 11pro then you’re probaly picking between three options the.

 

Samthing three Four hundred dollar iPhone se the 599 dollar 10r and 699 dollar iPhone 11 a long story short im gonna make this easy for you pick the 11 the SE is probably not going to cut it

 

Battery wise and compared to the 10 Are the 11 is far faster and has a much better camera system if you want a budget just generally and you don’t need an iPhone them I would say real me sits in

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

For those you don’t know real me is yet another subsidiary of BBK Electronics like Oppo

Oneplus but the difference is that real me new the Companys trying to make a name for itself and to do that they are pricing their phones at a staggeringly Affordable prolice so for around 250 dollar this one has First of all a quad camera setup that

That would sit fine on a 400 dollar phone a 1080p display which samehow also has a 90 hertz rate and upper mid range chipset specializing in gaming

And Great battery life don’t get me wrong you all know when you are it that its not a top level flagship but for this price its not even close real me 6 is up there theres also the poco x2 really just nice phone and again for a budget friendly price we re talking 120 hertz  display were talking 4500 million battery it’s

 

Just that you’ll struggle to buy this phone outside of of India so I haven’t officially added it to the list okky before the overall winner Let’s talk about the best all Rounder phones the phones that don’t necessarily specialize

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

In on thing but ones that do everything well and there a few here I already mentioned the iPhone 11 pro and Galaxy s 20 ultra these two they nail the fundamental pillars of

 

What makes a good smart phone but there’s three more Galaxy s 20 plus which is really similar to the ultra in the things that matter but just slightly smaller a bit more manageable and more Affordable than to  be honest even though yeah the 64 megapixel main camera there should less capable the 180 2 megapixel one on the ultra in practice it’s not really there are cases where the ultra looks better

But there are plenty of cases with a normal s xx and as twenty plus look better but the fact that they trade.

Blows is telling withing what shammies me 10 pro and as far as I’m aware this is the most expensive mainstream phone they’ve ever made and for some context the me 9 pro last year was like 6 hundred dollar this is a thousand but befor that you get pretty

Much just insane specs across the board I said to give you an idea you’ve got snapdragon 865 108 megapixel quad camera setup you’ve got 4,500 milliamp hour battery with an insane at 65 watt charger included in the box 5g dual speakers everything Plus it’s all wrapped in something I really appreciate on phones a soft touch matte finish it does miss out on an official IP Rating which is kind of confusing considering the massive price hike over last generation but I don’t think that alone should stop you considering this phone and then finnally in this categary is one Plus eight pro and apart from having a headphone jack this is 100℅ and everything phone every feature that you think at 20:20 flagship should have this probably does and it does so cheaper than its competitors you could put it side by side with the s20 ultra as example and some peaple might actually say they prefer the OnePlus even though it’s $400 less but it’s not the ultimate value king people have also asked me about the Galaxy Note 10.1

Top 10 Smartphones 2020

Prosonally I would err on the side of caution with that one I just think the cameras and the power of the s20 lineup they’ve come a long way but the note m+ still  isn’t old enough to be cheap either okey that leaves me with my current

 

Smart phones of the year and just before I get to that there’s a couple of phones that  l’ve been seeing Online that look really intresting that I haven’t

Managed a test yet there’s the Xperia one which is this Super widescreen cinematography focused phone

And it supposedly used technology from the Companys own alpha DSLR cameras I think this is an awesome concept but just
