Top 10 phones of 2017: Best screens

09 December 2017
The screen is the foundation stone of a smartphone – you can’t frame a photo without it and the powerful chipset needs it to show the cool graphics.

I pretty much neutral towards you bro , but judging by your comment , something interesting need to be open right away , correct ? How about people that want a phone that is capable of one-hand-usage but has a powerful specs ? Samsung is about / rumored to ditched its most-powerful compact devices next year , which obviously the A3 , as was people complained the specs was to low compared to its siblings (A5,A7) and decided to axed it once for all . Apple hasn't confirmed the new successor of iPhone (5)SE as far we can tell , although next year is the probability (SE 2 , TE , etc.) . HTC itself launched U11 Life , but that ain't compact flagship as S630 is upper-mid-range chipset . Others ? Well that ain't bothering that segment or bother it , but left it with "meh" specs . Sony is the only keeping at this segment till now (XZ1 Compact) . Flaw ? Yes , there's some flaw and price as sky-high . But pretty much the only option for now as A3 doesn't match it as it was lowered than XZ1c and SE is quite old now and didn't match the option if someone not an Apple fan of Apple .

Do i need to even explained what Sony has brought to standard these-days ? (Xperia Z and ZL from 2013 says hello :p , you can figure those phone out by yourself) or how about what feature that almost gone that only Sony currently has as right now ? (3.5mm jack , physical dedicated camera button , etc.)

P.S. I do like Samsung , Apple , HTC , Xiaomi , Huawei , LG and others , by judging what phone i fanned in my profile and real life (V30 and Note8 i appreciated alot as they has some quite great features as S-Pen and 32 Bit audio) , although yes , i'm a Sony fan honestly :)

    do yourself a favour and try to find one flagship phone that have these features:
    3.5 mm jack; front facing stereo speakers; ip68 certification; 4k panel with hdr support; and last, but not least- micro sd support.

          Anyway Sony and their battery if you switch to 120 MHz will die in few minutes.
          So its a really bad option.

            Its same like Sony Vaio but their notebook developement ended due to unreasonably high prices. For example where HP or Asus notebook costed 300 same notebook with same specs from Sony costed 1000.
            Quality? Not they all paid just for Sony Logo.
            Apart from that specs was crap.
            Their mobile division is simillar.

                they give huge amount of money to sony, and get nothing in return.
                thanks to fanboy's charity, sony mobile is still alive.

                    And how about that color shifting that makes colors of OLEDs inaccurate?

I would love a phone combining everything, an accurate and bright AMOLED with wide color gamut, 120 Hz and 4K and good anti-reflective coating.

But I'm sure the scores on Z Play will drop if a review on Nougat/Oreo is done. Anyway, XA1 Plus has a higher endurance rating because of something not related to the screen.

                                  But apple cant took batteries from someone else like they did with Amoled 4k recording wireless charging etc.
                                  Their present batteries are very think bulky ones makes bulky devices and noone wanna breed a big at home :-)

                                        Samsung is top on the list because as usualy they pad to be there like apple du.
                                        But Samsung offered more money so they are first in the list but not the best,
