Naijatrue's review of Best Phones so far in 2016

10. Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

A compact beast with a splendid price

The Sony Xperia Z5 Compact is another in the line of smaller handsets from the Japanese brand, packing in all the power into a smaller, more manageable phone.

9. HTC One M9

A great phone with a phenomenal build quality

The key thing about the HTC One M9 is the design: it's beautiful, and the 'jewellery-grade' finish and attention to detail does hit you the second you pick this phone up for the first time.

8. Nexus 6P

The best phone for those that like a simple interface

The Nexus 6P is a larger phone, but that means it comes with some upgraded specs too. There's a vivid QHD display, which is much sharper than many other smartphone around, but Huawei (the brand making the Google Nexus phablet) has tried hard to make it more palm-friendly.

7. iPhone 6S Plus

The best phablet you can buy

If you're OK with a larger iPhone, then you're in for a treat with the iPhone 6S Plus. It packs all the same upgrades as the smaller 6S - namely the innovative 3D Touch screen and upgraded camera - and fixes some of the flaws we all hate.

6. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+

A beautiful phablet that will win many admirers

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ is still one of our favourite phones around - despite the S7 and S7 Edge arriving, a supersized version of the S6 Edge with gorgeous lines and a larger battery, more features to the curved edge and generally improvements all round.

5. iPhone 6S

The best iPhone Apple's ever made

The iPhone 6S might look the same as last year's model, but peer below the hood and there are a number of interesting upgrades.

4. LG G4

A brilliant, great value smartphone

LG is always one of the best value manufacturers, and with the LG G4 it's -again - got one of the top smartphones around while not charging a huge amount for it.

3. Sony Xperia Z5

A top, lower-cost flagship smartphone with great camera and waterproof chassis

The Sony Xperia Z5 is the Japanese brand's 'mainstream' phone, and one that we're happy to talk about - it's got a number of nice features that make it worth checking out.

2. Samsung Galaxy S7

One of two five star phones from Samsung

The Samsung Galaxy S7 is a phone that initially looks just like the S6 from last year - but pick it up and you'll see there's a world of difference.

1. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

The best smartphone in the world - it's a work of art

Last year's Galaxy S6 Edge was a good phone, but not brilliant. It was the same as the Samsung Galaxy S6, but had a curved screen - and that was it. It was the same size, power and camera, and that wasn't enough.
