Your process of buying a new phone doesn't always have to start and end
with one or two brands. Sure, Samsung and Apple are the commercial
leaders, and makers of some of the best phones out there, but our Best
Smartphone of 2016 pick so far comes from HTC, a company that doesn't
even do much (if any?) TV advertising these days. No matter which phone
you go with, make the best possible decision by starting with this
latest installment of our biannual Smartphone Comparison Guide.
In this latest version of The Guide, we whittled our pool down to eight flagship (or, in one case, pseudo-flagship) smartphones:
- HTC 10
- Samsung Galaxy S7
- Apple iPhone 6s
- Samsung Galaxy S7 edge
- Apple iPhone 6s Plus
- LG G5
- Huawei/Google Nexus 6P
- Apple iPhone SE
We left out some still relevant phones from late 2015, including the Galaxy Note 5 and S6 edge Plus, Moto X Pure/Style and OnePlus 2.
While they're still worth a look, they're also all likely be supplanted
by successors within the next three or four months. So, unless you get
one hell of a deal, this isn't the best time to buy those.
The same could go for the iPhones 6s and 6s Plus as well. If you've already decided on an iPhone and can hold off until September, you might want to do that.
Enough jibber-jabber, let's jump into the 2016 Smartphone Comparison Guide.
One of these things is not like the others. The iPhone 6s isn't exactly a huge phone, but it looks like it next to the tiny iPhone SE.
It's a throwback to smartphones from four or five years ago, when the
pairing of tiny smartphone with big tablet meant buying twice the mobile
devices you "need" to buy today.
Sure, tablets do still have their niche in
today's world and tiny smartphones like the SE have advantages of their
own, like easy one-handed use and a lower profile in hand and pocket. We
prefer larger screens on the whole, though, and at least you have a
variety to choose from – ranging from large-ish 5.1-inch phones to full-on phablets in the 5.5 inches and larger range.
Weight
None of our picks are alarmingly heavy, with the iPhone 6s Plus weighing
the most and the tiny SE being the most feathery by a wide margin.
