1. Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The new Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra might look similar to its predecessor, the S23 Ultra. However, cosmetic differences are where the differences between the two end. Under the hood, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has several goodies to offer, including the on-device Galaxy AI.
With Galaxy AI, you can generate texts and images on the go, edit photos and videos using AI-powered tools, draw up spreadsheets, transcribe and translate calls in real-time, and much more, all in real-time. The Galaxy S24 Ultra gets a guaranteed seven years of software updates and security patches, meaning you could potentially use your device until Android 21 comes out!
2. OnePlus 12
OnePlus’ latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 12 packs quite a punch. First off, there is the display. The device gets an OLED screen with a 2K Resolution, LTPO, which allows it to adjust its refresh rate from anywhere between 1Hz and 120Hz. There is also 4,500 nits peak brightness. A Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset powers the phone, coupled with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. Add to it the simple, fluid interface of OxygenOS, and you just can’t go wrong with this device.
3. Vivo X100 Pro
This one is for the shutterbugs. The Vivo X100 Pro comes with a 50MP primary sensor with Laser autofocus and optical image stabilisation, a secondary 50MP ultra-wide-angle sensor with autofocus, and a 50MP periscope telephoto sensor with 4.5x optical zoom and optical image stabilisation as well.
It also packs a MediaTek Dimensity 9300, which directly rivals the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. There’s also 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, as well as a large 5,400mAh battery with 100W wired FlashCharge and 50W wireless FlashCharge support as well.
4. Oppo Find N3 Flip
Nothing says cool quite like pulling out your phone, flipping it open and receiving a call, right? Well, if you happen to have a soft spot for foldable, we highly recommend you check out the Oppo Find N3 Flip. The clamshell foldable’s 6.8-inch LTPO AMOLED screen isn’t the only highlight of it. There’s also a 3.2-inch screen on the outside, which features miniaturised versions of apps and their shortcuts and can mirror the main screen, too. What’s more, a crease that’s almost not noticeable also makes the device much easier to use and easier on the eyes too.
5. Nothing Phone (2)
If you’re looking for a phone that looks like no one else out there, check out the Nothing Phone (2). The device features Nothing’s iconic transparent design, allowing you to see the internal components of the smartphone.
It also has super cool glyph lights, which light up when you receive calls and notifications. The phone is not a slouch either, offering a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, which is more than plenty for everything from day-to-day tasks to competitive gaming.
Well, these were our picks for the smartphone to pick up right now. We hope this list helps you! Remember to make a note of your preferences and needs before choosing your next device. Happy buying!
