The 5 Best Smartphone of 2018
All significant smartphone launches have now passed and as we approach
the end of the year, the ten best shake out after more extended usage of
each. All ten phones are excellent and certain aspects make each a
possible contender for the top spot.
1.SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 9
The SAMSUNG Note 9 is the best selling phone of 2018 and it's known as the "Business Phone" and it's amazing feature's and security system make that phone amazing. And "Reimagined Camera" one of the best feature of the phone of this phone.
Security
And the One-Touch fingerprint scanner has the fastest response time in my opinion. The phone is better than Iphone XS MAX and Google Pixel 2 XL in some cases the is not perform better than these. The Iris Scanner is also a good feature. And the Samsung Knox 3.2 is Samsung most usable feature is Samsung device's.
Bluetooth S pen
The Intelligent tool that sets Galaxy Note 9 apart.
Bluetooth enabled to give you the Ultimate Control.
For the first time ever, the S Pen harnesses the power of Bluetooth technology, acting as a remote for your Galaxy Note9. Snap photos, change slides, and pause YouTube videos with a press of the button or set your own custom controls.Then, charging the S Pen is as simple as sliding it back into the Galaxy Note9 to get another 30 minutes of power in just 40 seconds.

2. Huawei MATE 20 Pro
Huawei recently announced the Mate 20 Pro and it brings together all of the greatness of Huawei into a single device that is tough to beat. The Mate 20 Pro includes the first Android 7nm process chipset with the Kirin 980 (Apple's A12 Bionic also uses the 7nm process), two Neural Processing Units, a fourth-generation image signal processor, and a LTE Cat.21 modem.
The Mate 20 series presents the first Huawei phones to feature the new Kirin 980, the next advance of Huawei’s processor tech. It’s an eight-core processor, and Huawei’s first built on the 7-nanometer process — basically, it’s super-small. The 980 consists of four little cores that handle low-intensity tasks, two middle cores for more demanding tasks, and two advanced cores that will blast through the most demanding of apps and games. Huawei claims this new processor boosts speed by 20 percent and power efficiency by 40 percent when compared to the older Kirin 970.

4.Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus
Samsung's Infinity Display continues to impress and earns a near perfect score like other Samsung displays on the newest Samsung, Apple, and Google phones. There is 6GB of RAM, the fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 mobile processor, a rear dual aperture camera, another one with super slow motion support (S9 Plus only), the ability to add inexpensive microSD cards, improved Bixby assitant and a hardware button dedicated to its use, Samsung Pay payment technology, wireless and fast charging, IP68 dust and water resistance, a USB Type-C standard port, and traditional 3.5mm headset jack. It also launches with Android 8.0 Oreo. There is nothing missing from the Galaxy S9 Plus and it still deserves respect several months later.
One of the things that stands out on Samsung phones is RF performance so if you live in an area with a weak cellular signal then you might move the S9/S9 Plus up further in your list of best smartphones.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are available at prices starting at $720 (S9) and $840 (S9 Plus). T-Mobile and Samsung have the best prices with other carriers adding additional premiums on top of the MSRP. If you buy an unlocked one from Samsung it will not contain carrier bloatware and is priced lower than most US carriers too.
I awarded the S9 Plus a 9.7/10 rating in my full review. Jason Cipriani took the slightly smaller single camera Galaxy S9 for a spin and awarded it a 8.9/10 rating in his full review.
Samsung is starting to roll out its newest software experience for beta testing on the Galaxy S9/S9 Plus so stay tuned for more on this update.

5.Huawei P20 Pro
While US consumers will have to resort to eBay to pick one up, the Huawei P20 Pro remains one of the most exciting phones of 2018, even with its new cousin just launching in the form of the Mate 20 Pro.
The unique triple camera design with 68 megapixels worth of shooting power should help you take some fantastic shots with a low light mode that beats out all the other smartphones available today.
Huawei has been including massive capacity batteries in its flagships and the P20 Pro is no exception with 4,000 mAh that is sure to get you through at least one full, busy day. It has a large 6.1 inch OLED with a notch you can show or hide, a powerful Kirin 970 processor with integrated AI, IP67 dust and water resistance, and more.
