OnePlus 6
The OnePlus 6 is without a doubt the fastest Android smartphone on the market today. However, it’s not quite the “flagship killer” that the company has been known for. OnePlus’ dual-camera algorithms aren’t quite flagship class, but the phone still has a great camera.

Honor 10
AI is the most used buzzword right now and the Honor 10 leaves no stone unturned in touting its AI-centric features. And for good reason, because the Kirin 970 chipset that powers it has a dedicated NPU that takes care of machine learning tasks. The phone is all-rounder with a stunning glass design and a AI-powered camera. If only the UI was a little more palatable.

LG V30+
LG’s V30+ is the second phone from the company which takes a stab at the premium smartphone segment. Like most flagships this year, it is also powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and features a dual camera setup at the back. LG’s UI is still as good as what we have seen on some other flagships, but the large battery life does make up some lost ground.

Mi Mix 2
Xiaomi finally brought the Miix series to India this year and in its second iteration, the phone brings a lot of hardware for its price. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC and featuring 6GB of RAM along with 128GB storage, the phone offers comparable performance as any other flagship smartphone. The phone is built out of premium materials like ceramic, but it does some work in the camera department.
10
Sony Xperia XZ1
Launched IFA 2018, the Sony Xperia XZ1 is the best Sony has to offer this year. The phone has one of the most understated designs (among flagships) of this year, which may appeal to some. The performance is handled by the Snapdragon 835 and the phone is quite snappy. However, the battery life and the camera aren’t that great.
