LePhoneNerrrd, 23 Nov 2018oneplus 6t or Samsung s9? if they are the same price, which... moreS9 or S9+? However, they both are just a joke because of curved screen and stupid placement of fingerprint reader too close to the camera.

Can‘t get how you could forget the best smartphone for gaming on the market: the iPhone XS Max. Absolute best graphics in the business, one of the best speakers and screens

I really find the old style of the buyers guide more useful.
I usually try to find the best phones in a price segment and then decide among them.
In current guide there is only one "all rounder" for each segment. The rest of phones are supposedly only good in one department (camera, battery etc)

IntelliSense, 22 Nov 2018OnePlus is Chinese, HMD (licenced Nokia name) in this case ... moreWhat's your point anyway? I don't get why you bring up the Android One and sales and all that stuff. Nokia 7 Plus is the best, and still the best, smartphone under its category. Many tech blogs will agree to that. In my family, we all have iPhone and high-end Galaxy, but I always take the Nokia 7 Plus for some reason. My son too who we upgraded to iPhone Xr, but find the Nokia 7 Plus more reliable. Plus, the Nokia brand is unheard of to younger kids these days. Especially in the United States. His classmates even call his 7 Plus cool and more unique than iPhone that two of them got one for themselves.
Bottom line, yes, Nokia doesn't sell like Chinese phones but it is because it just started out two years ago. But when people start seeing them in stores, they will definitely opt for a new Nokia phone. The build quality is not something you find on any other competitors, and it doesn't look cheap. At all.

IntelliSense, 22 Nov 2018OnePlus is Chinese, HMD (licenced Nokia name) in this case ... moreIt certainly doesn't look like polycarbonate in real life though. Not cheap even. I have it. It's more like a ceramic matte finish I found similarly to non-stick pans. And yes, I totally miss out that OnePlus is Chinese. Still, it is way better than any of its Chinese counterparts out there.

Where is the LG G7 ?
Here in India it's currently the best all-rounder iny opinion. It's better than Poco F1 and One plus 6.

This Guide is confusing.. Earlier we used to pick a phone that has best of all worlds within a particular budget.. But now we have to settle for one feature, losing others in bargain.. I sincerely hope that another guide will come up to ease things out..

But the Samsung duo apart from taking great photos also do everything else impressively. So they put them in the all rounders section.. Like these phones are good at everything.
