If you’re looking for the very best high-end smartphones available, you’ve come to the right place! Every month, GadgetMatch updates this list with the finest devices money can buy, no matter how much they cost.
As the first edition in the series, the premium smartphones found here feature the cream of the crop released since last year, but don’t include those launching later this month at Mobile World Congress 2017 (MWC) just yet. Are some possibly old? Yes, but they’re as powerful as the day they were rolled out.
Here they are in no particular order:
Google Pixel
While the Pixel has its shortcomings — the lack of serious water resistance and oddly plain design spring to mind — you can’t find a more optimized Android smartphone right now. Everything about it is snappy, from the incredible camera to its witty Google Assistant. It’s also got the most up-to-date operating system, and unlimited storage for all your photos.

OnePlus 3T
OnePlus’ flagship killer is truly living up to its name. The 3T is near the top of the charts in terms of raw performance to this day, has one of our favorite implementations of Android, and feels absolutely solid in our hands. Best of all, it’s the most affordable premium smartphone in this compilation — what’s not to love?
Apple iPhone 7 Plus
You can’t complete a selection like this without including Apple’s latest handset. And it’s not because an iPhone has to be included; the iPhone 7 Plus is so fast and so smooth, there’s no way we could ignore it. It also gets the nod over the regular iPhone 7 thanks to its far more impressive dual-camera setup.
REVIEW: Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
Huawei Mate 9
If you’re out for a larger-than-usual screen size, the Mate 9 is your best bet in the premium segment. And yet, Huawei’s 5.9-inch smartphone isn’t that massive when you get a hold of it. Factor in its equally generous battery life, sleek Android interface, and pair of Leica-branded cameras at the back, and you have the most capable phablet in the market.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
Despite being nearly a year old, nothing feels outdated when it comes to the Galaxy S7 Edge. Samsung’s best still runs well against everything else on this list, and it’s arguably one of the most attractive phones ever made. Several manufacturers have been attempting to imitate Its perfectly curved display, but nothing comes close to the original.
