<\/p>\nWith Samsung S8 and iPhone X being mentioned at every opportunity, it\u2019s easy to forget that there\u2019s a huge world of smartphones out there! Here\u2019s our look at some of the best smartphones on the market that aren\u2019t Samsung or Apple.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One thing that caught our eye with this device is the \u201d\u02dcEdge Sense\u2019 feature. It allows you to operate apps with a squeeze of the phone \u201d\u201c how cool is that? The spec of the device is well worth it too, with a 12-megapixel rear camera, ultra-fast processors and an impressive battery life. It\u2019s got a sleek design, and works out cheaper than the Samsung S8. If you can live with the lack of a headphone jack, then this is the phone for you. It may not have Siri, but the U11 does have Amazon Alexa: using the immense microphone built in, Alexa won\u2019t tell you she can\u2019t understand what you\u2019re asking her.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Arguably the best phone LG have produced for years, the G6 looks beautiful and takes incredible images. The device is almost bezel free, with an 18:9 screen. The device itself is smaller than the likes of the Samsung S8 but it\u2019s large enough to fit comfortably in your hand for everyday use. The only thing that truly lets the device down is that its processors aren\u2019t as up to scratch as the likes of the HTC U11. The G6 will withstand some contact with water which is more than some of the other devices that made this list.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At \u00a3170, this is the best phone you\u2019ll be able to get on a budget \u201d\u201c considering Apple\u2019s iPhone X retails at around \u00a3900, it\u2019s hard to believe you can get smartphones at such an affordable price. Depending on what you use your phone for, this could be the one for you. The design shows huge improvements and the device runs on the latest version of Android. The camera isn\u2019t wonderful, and games won\u2019t be of the highest quality \u201d\u201c but a top-spec android phone at such a low price can\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Keen photographers need this phone. The images taken on the Google Pixel are beautiful \u201d\u201c colours are vibrant, the camera is super quick and your snaps will be detailed. The battery life is impressive; games, streaming and messaging won\u2019t drain it like some others do. When you do need to charge the phone, it\u2019ll be full in no time. This device is top-quality, works lightning fast and its design isn\u2019t a million miles away from the flagship Apple. The price for the phone isn\u2019t dissimilar to a current Samsung but it has everything you could possibly need at your fingertips.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll get more bang for your buck with Lenovo\u2019s latest offering, which can be yours for less than \u00a3200. This low price doesn\u2019t mean corners have been cut whatsoever; the device\u2019s screen is one of the best around for this budget and it has a great battery. If you\u2019re a gamer, you may want to shy from this as the graphics aren\u2019t up to scratch, and it isn\u2019t running on the most recent version of Android. The connectivity to Wi-Fi networks is impeccable, the headphone jack sits at the top which is perfect for music lovers who like to stream their favourite albums, and the phone is slightly thicker and heavier than others on the market \u201d\u201c a breath of fresh air for us!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"oneplus-5\"](\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/OnePlus-5-300x193.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
A top-end smartphone for under \u00a3500 is considered something of urban legend, but we can assure you it exists: in the form of the OnePlus 5. As companies move away from the idea of the traditional headphone jack, the OnePlus 5 still has one which may just be music to your ears. The device isn\u2019t short on memory either, as your choices are 64GB or 128GB. Every device out there has its issues but the speed of this phone will outweigh the reported connectivity problems its had.<\/p>\n
