The cell phone market has exploded over the past decade, and it’s grown to become one of the largest markets in the world. The sheer number of companies that provide consumers with cell phones, however, can make choosing one feels impossible at times. Well, after reading this article you’ll have no problem picking out your next phone because you’ll know which brands are best! We’ve compiled a list of the best phone brands in the world!
1) Apple
While some may argue that Apple’s products are overpriced, there’s no denying they are top-notch. The company is highly innovative and often releases groundbreaking products that change how we live our lives. A lot of thought goes into their design and aesthetics; you can tell an Apple product is a mile away because of its sleek, cutting-edge look. Plus, consumers tend to love and stick with Apple products: iPhones have one of the highest customer retention rates among tech companies.
2) Samsung
A longtime industry leader and home to many of our favorite phones, Samsung is a perennial favorite. Notable releases: Galaxy S8/S8+, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy s21 (2017)
3) LG
LG is a South Korean multinational conglomerate corporation. In 2017, it was ranked 45th in Fortune’s Global 500 list of companies and 214th on the Forbes Global 2000 list of largest public companies. LG Corporation was established as Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp., Ltd. by Koo In-Hwoi and his son-in-law Lee Byung-Chul in 1947.
4) HTC
The company’s distinctive logo is plastered on smartphones that run Android and Windows. Popular models include HTC 10, HTC U11 and HTC Desire 626s. The latter offers a 13 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash as well as a 5 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. It also offers front-facing speakers and a 5 MP front-facing camera. Available colors are white, black, gold or silver.
5) Sony
Sony is an iconic brand, and it has produced some of our favorite electronic devices over the years, including its popular Xperia line of phones. The company’s Android-powered handsets are fun to use and packed with excellent features. Sony is a good choice for people who enjoy tinkering around with their device—the manufacturer often releases software updates that introduce new features, allowing users to add a personal touch to their devices.
6) Motorola
You don’t have to be a telecommunications wizard to know that Motorola is one of today’s top-selling mobile phone manufacturers, but it might help. What you may not know, however, is that Motorola has been an industry leader for nearly four decades.
7) Huawei
The Chinese electronics company Huawei has been making leaps and bounds with its line of devices. Thanks to more companies giving Huawei a chance, there are now several popular smartphones and tablets under its name. And while most of us have heard about some of these, others may be new to you. So here they are: The 10 best phone brands in the world.
8) Lenovo/Motorola Phones
Lenovo acquired Motorola in 2014, and since that time has created some fantastic mid-range phones. For example, last year’s Moto G4 Plus was one of our favorite budget smartphones of 2016. This year’s successor includes a fingerprint sensor (and two options for colors), but keeps everything else that made its predecessor great: It’s got great battery life and a 5.5-inch Full HD display.
9) Xiaomi
China-based Xiaomi is a relatively new name to most Western markets, but it’s one of those brands you’re going to be hearing about a lot more in the near future. It’s incredibly popular within its home country and has enjoyed plenty of success internationally as well. Xiaomi designs everything from smartphones and laptops to tablet computers and fitness bands, but it really shines with its MIUI Android ROM; a lightweight version of Google’s operating system with additional features on top.
10) OnePlus
One of only two companies to make our top-ten list of best phone brands—the other, sadly, being Apple. The Chinese manufacturer was founded in 2013 by former Oppo execs and rose to fame quickly with their flagship OnePlus One phone (2014). Though it took a lot longer than expected for their second offering, 2016’s OnePlus 3T, to reach shelves—customers stayed loyal thanks to an invite system that took care of supply issues.
