Looking for a new smartphone? There are dozens upon dozens of great options on the market today, but finding the best of the best can be a bit difficult. We’ve seen some great launches over the past year and more should be coming soon too, so let’s take a look at the best Android smartphones you can buy as of September 2018.
Sony Xperia XZ3
After debuting the Sony Xperia XZ2 earlier this year, Sony took to the stage at IFA 2018 to announce the Xperia XZ3. This device doesn’t exactly change a lot when it comes to design, but Sony’s latest is one of the company’s most exciting releases as of late.
The big story on this phone is the display. This time around, Sony is including an OLED display based on its BRAVIA TV technology and it packs HDR as well. The 6-inch display has Gorilla Glass 5, and the back of the phone does as well with some fancy new colors in tow.
Sony is packing a Snapdragon 845 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a 3,330 mAh battery. There’s a 19MP MotionEye camera on the back capable of recording 4K HDR video and a new 13MP front-facing camera with f/1.9. Sony also says that the speakers on the Xperia XZ3 increase overall volume by 20% with better bass and treble. Wireless charging and Sony’s vibration system are back as well. Of course, there’s also no headphone jack.The Xperia XZ3 will go on sale this October from $900 with Android 9 Pie, and it’ll be available unlocked at Amazon and Best Buy in the US.
