This year Huawei launched a new top-end smartphone, the Huawei P10, along with a larger brother in the P10 Plus. The phone debuted in a time where competitors like Samsung and LG had just launched flagships with larger, bezel-free displays. But rather than innovating in a similar fashion, Huawei opted for a more iterative approach that took the good parts of the P9 and attempted to improve them for 2017.

You've read the reviews and have formed your own opinions on the devices you've owned and currently own, but with our vast access to devices, the best smartphones feature is meant to highlight the stuff that matters, what we'd buy for ourselves based in a number of factors (particularly price point) and thus make it easier for you to buy the best possible device.

If you want top-end hardware in the cheapest possible smartphone, you should look no further than Xiaomi's Mi line. The Mi 6 packs a Snapdragon 835 SoC, 6GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage and a dual 12-megapixel camera solution in a package that costs around $430 when imported.

LG has lifted their game significantly this year with the all-new G6, a beautiful phone that doesn't try anything crazy, but it succeeds through proper use of materials and a seamless build.
