Best smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
The Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is so close to being the best smartphone in the world right now. It boasts the brilliant dual curved display, with the screen bending around on both sides so it looks like no other phone ever made (apart from the S6 Edge last year). Yep, this futuristic smartphone is a looker, and it'll have your friends begging for a chance to play with it.
That combined with industry leading power, an amazing display, decent battery life, an excellent camera and amazing performance make it not only the best-looking smartphone, but one of the top two smartphones in the universe.
The other best smartphone - iPhone 6S Plus
Here we have the iPhone 6S Plus - probably the best-looking phablet around. Some feel its sheer size does make it tricky to hold, but there's no denying Apple's beautiful 5.5 incher is a winner. If you're an iPhone user and you fancy picking up a much bigger phone, this could be for you.
But beware - it's quite expensive! If the price doesn't suit, the obvious alternatives are the standard iPhone 6S or something running Android.
Best premium smartphone - Samsung Galaxy S7
A brilliant phone that shows Samsung still has what it takes
We can't tell you how close it is between the Galaxy S7, iPhone 6S Plus and S7 Edge for the title of 'best smartphone in the world.' All three are beautiful but the curved screen just won out for us. But this is still great.
Whether it's the improved camera, the metal-and-glass chassis, the oodles of power involved (from Samsung’s own octa-core Exynos chipset) or just the fact that the TouchWiz software it runs on top of Android looks less childish these days, Samsung's got a lot right here and this is a brilliant phone.
Best smartphone for 4K - Sony Z5 Premium
Sony has just made the world's first ever 4K smartphone, but we're not exactly sure if it's necessary yet. It’s a huge 5.5-inch screen with a huge 806 pixels-per-inch as well so is perfect for any phablet lovers out there.There’s a new fingerprint sensor running along the side of the phone that works perfectly and then there's a great 23MP camera on the back of the phone.
The battery life may not be perfect, but this is one of the best phones if you love to have the newest tech first.
