Unnecessary or not, we are now having foldable smartphones and they are surprisingly here to stay. And the foldable smartphones may or may not be quite affordable yet, but between the campy releases, year after year, the same brands with bigger screens and “enhanced”, such innovations are certainly a fresh breath of air.

Its expensive, grand and luxurious. To some Apple is just recycling the same phone year after year with a bigger screen, removing every port one by one and now adding a camera per year too.

Top 10 Flagship Smartphones of the Year (2019) 3

The reliable, fancy yet delivering Samsung. This year Samsung went out of its way and brought out some great mid-range smartphones, the market which was already flooded with affordable Chinese brands had to compete with Samsung’s M series as it had specifications which were never seen before in this price on a Samsung. But one thing that Samsung has been consistent with is its high-end phones and we are not disappointed this year either. Be it the huge infinity O screen or the sleek design, it is a powerhouse performance besides its premium exterior.

Asus ROG phone II

Top 10 Flagship Smartphones of the Year (2019) 7

The first ROG phone was overpriced and a niche that was not exactly very mainstream. 2019 saw a massive rise in mobile gaming, particularly in India, and now triggers and attachments became a reasonable expense to the game. And so Asus’s ROG phone II is a game-changer by all means, with superior specifications and is very much budget-friendly.
