We look at the Droid Edition of these phones, which means they're on Verizon Wireless.Īlcatel Idol 4S (with VR Goggles) Alcatel impressed us with last year's Idol 3, it proved that a relatively inexpensive phone could still be stylish and slim with decent specs. Inside it's all flagship power with the 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 820, 4 gigs of RAM, a fingerprint scanner, NFC and your choice of a good 13MP camera on the Moto Z and an excellent 21MP camera on the Moto Z Force. Instead we have a modern and somewhat angular design that's actually very slim, unlike the old Moto design that got chubby toward the middle. Gone are the complexly curved sides, thick middle body and unibody construction. They're the first phones to break from Moto's attractive, but well-worn look and feel. The Moto Z and Z Force aren't the kind of modular that requires you to assemble core parts from building blocks, rather they work with magnetic Moto Mods like the JBL stereo speaker back, a projector and extended batteries. Moto Z and Moto Z Force Finally, modular phones done right, at least if you're hankering to slap on nifty accessories. There's good CPU performance, a really lovely full HD display and solid cameras too. The Android 6.0 Marshmallow smartphone flirts with high end design and features at a relatively modest $399 price tag for the 32 gig model. It's a stunning looking phone clad in 2D glass and metal, and it's very pocketable at 5.2". The Honor sub-brand is Huawei's affordable line that targets Millennials, though I don't see why a 13 year old or 70 year old wouldn't also like the phone. There's the OnePlus 3, Alcatel Idol 4S, ZTE Axon 7, the Moto G4/G4 Plus and now the Huawei Honor 8. Huawei Hocontinues as the year of the affordable but really good Android phone, particularly unlocked models that are sold direct and via retailers rather than carriers. It has the S Pen, both fingerprint and iris scanner and much more. The Note 7 has a 5.7" Super AMOLED 2560 x 1440 display with HDR video support, the same excellent cameras as the Galaxy S7 family, a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 gigs of RAM and a 64 gigs of storage plus a microSD card slot. Inside, it's the culmination of Samsung's triumphs and past mistakes learned from-TouchWiz is actually useful rather than a Disney adventure, features are well thought out and the phone looks stunning clad in Gorilla Glass 5 and aluminum. Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (discontinued) The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is one heck of a great phone, and it's also an extremely expensive one. The iPhone 7 Plus gets two 12MP rear cameras, one with standard wide view and one telephoto. Inside there's the class-leading Apple A10 Fusion quad core CPU, more storage, improved front and rear cameras, IP67 water resistance. On the outside we have new antenna lines, a solid state home button and two new colors: black and jet black. IPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus The changes for Apple's flagship 4.7" and 5.5" smartphones are mostly inside this year. It has an 8MP front camera and a 12.3MP rear camera with f/2.0 lens and 4K video recording. The Pixel XL has a 2560 x 1440 AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 4 (the smaller Pixel is 1920 x 1080). The Pixel XL runs Android 7.1 Nougat with the new Google Assistant (voice activated) on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 CPU with 4 gigs of RAM and 32 or 128 gigs of storage (no microSD card slot). This time, Google is going with flagship pricing and high end specs. The Pixel line replaces the Nexus line of Android smartphones that come direct from Google with the latest Android build and no carrier or manufacturer bloatware.
