Best smartphones of 2019: Is yours on the list?

Samsung had a patchy start with the Galaxy Fold but since all the fixes, the phone has done fine and managed to sell like hotcakes.

With its novel smartphone-cum-tablet form factor, it confirms that the future of folding tech is going to exciting.

Surely, the $1,980 price tag is steep but you get a new experience with two screens, six cameras, and top-of-the-line internals.

iPhones have been known for capturing good images but with the versatile triple-lens setup on its latest flagship, Apple has raised the bar for Samsung, Huawei, and Google.

The iPhone 11 Pro offers excellent image processing, better portrait photography, great low-light images, and segment-leading videography capabilities.

And the premium built quality, improved battery life, and lag-free performance make it all the more worthy.

If specifications are a point of reference, the ASUS ROG Phone 2 is hard to beat.

With a 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, dual front-facing speakers, in-screen fingerprint reader, customizable LED logo, and a dedicated vapor chamber cooling system, the gaming-centric ASUS flagship even trumps some capable laptops.

What more? The handset also packs a mammoth 6,000mAh battery and dual Type-C ports.

With a smooth and fluid 90Hz QHD+ screen, uninterrupted all-screen design, respectable 48MP triple rear camera, flagship-grade performance, great battery performance, and clean software, the OnePlus 7 Pro not only raises the bar for premium flagships but also beats them when it comes the value factor.

At a starting price of Rs. 39,999, it's a blind buy worthy.

Samsung's latest offering, the Note 10+ makes no comprises whatsoever to win our title fo the best premium flagship.

It has a premium glass-metal body, IP68-rated build quality, HDR10-certified QHD AMOLED screen, top-tier internals, dependable all-day battery life, and the best cameras of 2019 as per MKBHD's Blind Camera test.

What more? There's a smarter S Pen, a desktop mode, and even reverse wireless-charging.

The Redmi Note 8 Pro is undoubtedly the best smartphone in the budget segment. The handset ticks all the right boxes thanks to a bright and sharp full-HD+ screen, premium glass body design, solid battery life, and a gaming-friendly MediaTek Helio G90T processor.

However, it's the promising 64MP quad rear-camera and the affordable price tag that makes the Xiaomi mid-ranger more desirable than others.
