1.Samsung Galaxy S8

Hands down, the best phone you can buy right now. It's powerful, takes fantastic photos, and is gorgeous. And there's a big one too, if you like that sort of thing.

2.Google Pixel 2 XL

The Pixel 2 XL puts practicality before panache but delivers where it counts with an incredible camera and the definitive Android experience.

3.OnePlus 5

Not quite the bargain we're used to getting this year, but a much-improved camera and streamlined design make up for it.

4.Apple iPhone 8 Plus

The best iPhone camera ever, wireless charging and new-found AR smarts make this Apple's best phone yet - until the X arrives, anyway.

5.Honor 9

Gorgeous looks, huge power and clever dual cameras make this a real bargain, and it even undercuts the OnePlus 5 on price. It falls behind in a few key areas, but only by a whisker.

6.HTC U11

This glass-backed beauty wants to please with a squeeze - and it takes a great photo, too.

7.Samsung Galaxy Note 8

Supermassive, super-powered, and super niche - Samsung still has the best phablet, but it's marginal gains over the vanilla Galaxy S8.

8.Huawei P10 Plus

Stylish and speedy, with a superb camera, the P10 Plus doesn't dazzle with its design but is otherwise a genuine contender, thanks to better battery life than its smaller brother.

9.Google Pixel 2

A super-fast software powerhouse with the best camera on any phone.

10.Apple iPhone 8

X marks the spot for Apple’s future, but the iPhone 8 is a safer – and surprisingly impressive – option.
