The Mate 20 Pro packs more cutting-edge technology into it than any other, but unlike most bleeding-edge devices it makes for a great experience. Huawei's EMUI isn't the best Android experience available, but it's much improved on older versions. Verdict: The best phone of the year isn't cheap, but offers a brilliant, cutting-edge experience that lasts ages between charges. The OnePlus 6T is a brutally fast device with an Android experience that's second only to Google's Pixel 3. Verdict: The best Android experience you can buy in 2018, but not necessarily the best smartphone.

according to Antonio Villas-Boas: 2018 was the year of boring but really, really good smartphones. It has a phenomenal design, a really, really good camera, and it's the fastest smartphone out of all of the smartphones that I'm aware of. This phone is a really, really good phone. You're also getting a Google phone for the pure and clean version of Android, so you're getting the Google Android experience. A little steep, but, you know, it is a very good phone.
