Best Flagship Smartphones Of 2017: Samsung Galaxy Note 8, OnePlus 5T, iPhone X, Pixel 2
We are approaching the end of 2017. While the year in smartphones took off with a boring start with the flagship with typical high-end specifications, Samsung, Google, and Apple made it exciting enough to get everyone hooked and interested in smartphone technology all over again. While artificial intelligence is the next level and the broader picture, machine learning from the building blocks of AI. So without further ado, may I present to you our list of top picks when it come to flagship smartphones that are priced over the Rs 30,000 price bracket.
#1 Samsung Galaxy Note 8
While Samsung needs a thunderous applause for the massive come back for both the gorgeous Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Note 8, the bigger sibling takes the top spot on our flagship ranking.The Galaxy Note 8 did not just make us forget all of those ''fiery'' Note 7 memes, but it cemented Samsung's spot in the smartphone space, by offering not just great design, but innovations in AI and bragging rights that could silence all those OnePlus fans when it came to numbers.
While the design was breathtakingly stunning, Samsung drew the line and set new standards for premium flagships, one that many other manufacturers still find hard to follow. In short, the Note 8 was the premium flagship smartphone to separate boys from the men. It has Great design, Amazing camera performance, Breath-taking super AMOLED infinity display, S pen with new features.
#2 Apple iPhone X
While Samsung did send across some strong tremors in the smartphone space, Apple looked like it was prepared. This also meant that we expected to see a few more parts falling of the next new iPhone. But 2017 was different. Apple launched not the usual two but an expected third tenth anniversary iPhone X as well.
And so it had to be special, which in Apple's understanding of things meant, taking a few parts off. After the 3.5 mm headphone jack Apple decided that it was time, it killed the Home button along with touch ID on a smartphone that would reflect the company's future plan. with the lack of touch ID, Apple introduced face ID. This reduced the need to press down on a button, and instead just lift the phone to unlock. The iPhone X is also the most expensive production smartphone to be introduced ever, with price tags in India now starting from a staggering Rs 92,430 ( for the base model). It has Stunning design, Unbeatable video capture with 4k 60 fps recording, Zoom camera with dual OIS and Face ID.
#3 Google Pixel 2
While Samsung showed the world how powerful hardware can produce some breath-taking low light photos, Google had other plans. As with everything Google, the search giant wanted to prove a point about how important software is to the smartphone ecosystem. since 2016, every other smartphone manufacturer out there was pulling out dual camera smartphone from their magic hats. So gusty Google in 2017, took what appeared to be a risk, by launching the pixel 2/2 XL with a single sensor camera. But this single sensor used Google's machine learning smarts to outwit not just Android and iOS competition but the laid the foundations of what we should expect from smartphone imaging in the future.
The Pixel 2 smartphone used the power of Google's HDR+ photos, machine learning and some mind-bending algorithms to produce class leading portrait photos using a single camera not just in daylight, but low light as well. Google basically turned smartphone imaging into a science and for that we are thankful.
Great specification
> That camera and science behind the imaging
> Unadulterated Android experience
> Machine learning software bits
#4 OnePlus 5T
The OnePlus is a smartphone that we personally ''love to hate''. It's the ''bad boy'' of the smartphone industry, offering overkill specifications, but then calling itself ''practical''. This year, OnePlus is on our list as it is hard to ignore the value for money the device offers at Rs 32,999. Nowhere else will get this level of performance, an 18:9 display and great battery life in a thin and light package that sounds too good to be true, given its pricing. You also get the standard OnePlus ''bragging rights'' when you buy online. It has Hardware in numbers and Accessible flagship level performance and Great software.
2017 saw some recent tech cementing itself in the premium smartphone segment. We still lead dongle-life as wireless technologies have yet to evolve to a level where they are practical and offer more benefits over conventional wired system. with talk about AI, coming from every smartphone manufacturer this year, it,s easy to say that 2018 will see plenty of automation, heavy use of machine learning in premium flagship smartphones. Stuff that will trickle down and benefit even the mid and budget segments.
