In marketing, as for most Android phones, they attract consumers with their endless pretty designs, coupled with the sells form enthusiastic shopping guides.

Consumer A may unconsciously finish his/her deal neglecting the product performance of the phone, just for the shopping guide said, "This phone has a good sale in these two days." Here, crowd psychology induces the purchase.

Or, Consumer B has the desire to buy but is hesitated for its much higher price. Consequently, he/she will also leave the store with this phone with no doubt, because the store would advise him/her to buy it by installment.

Compared with the iPhone 8 of the Apple series, The Pixel 2 is equipped with a very powerful camera, which captures very fast, even far beyond the expectations of the average users.

Coupled with its fast-charging and long-lasting, water-resistant features and unlimited smart storage, you are free in photography. It is the absolute best.

Meanwhile, apps in this phone will be securely updated directly through Google Chrome. At this point, few Android phones can accomplish this function.

Taking the whole Android market as a test with full 100 scores, Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL can get 90 or above. I believe that the Pixel series will bring users who like Android system the best Android experience. Top 10 Best Android Phones 2018 Google Pixel 2

#2: The Camera. Reimagined: Samsung Galaxy S9 ($719)

As an outstanding representative in Android mobile phones, the Samsung series provide a comprehensive functional service for its users. Samsung Galaxy S9 is regarded as “A radical new adjustable-aperture camera” by Forbes.

On the one hand, this is the first mobile phone on the Android market featuring the fastest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with fully equipped revolutionary camera adapting like the human eye, which can capture stunning pictures in bright daylight and super low light.

On the other hand, in design, it provides more convenience for its users. It solves the previous inconvenience caused by the fingerprint sensor too close to the camera, which always stains the lens.

#3: The Speed You Need: One Plus One Plus 6 ($529)

Android users who are familiar with One Plus series will fall In love with One Plus 6. The all-glass build One Plus 6 also has a cutting-edge processor system, which is no weaker than the internal settings of the Galaxy S9.

It is an Android product that can rival other high-quality mobile phones such as the LG G7. Its price is rather more suitable, a few hundred dollars cheaper than the previous products.

The fly in the ointment is that the back of the phone is designed with a 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 5 as a cover glass (fortunately with a plastic sleeve protection), and water damage is not covered by the warranty.

However, it supports Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC and performs very well in networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile.

#4: Dual Cameras. Singular Design: Motorola Moto X4 ($300)

The Moto Android phones always maintain their unique low-key postures but attract their consumers with powerful service.

Motorola Moto X4 was released in Europe at the end of September 2017. Thus, it is only $300 now. Due to its much more competitive price, Moto X4’s consumers are majorly the youths and students.

Moto X4 is really a very good Android phone with excellent camera performance configuration: an advanced dual rear camera system.

Also, it is also very smooth in the operation of the four major wireless networks in the United States. Selecting Moto X4 will not only satisfy your daily mobile phone usage but also save you a lot of money as well.

#5: Designed to impress. Built to create: Motorola Moto G6 ($230)

To be frank, the Moto G6 is not a perfect phone, but for the price of 230 dollars, it is definitely a cost-effective mobile phone.

Although it is not as high-end as the phones mentioned above, taking Android mobile phone market as a 100-point test again, the Moto G6 can also pass and achieve a better result.

It perhaps disappoints you when you want to take a beautiful picture in a tour while it could surprise you in the up-to-date usual daily shots with a long-lasting battery.

#6: Challenges the Best Android Phones: LG G7 ThinQ ($750)

For instance, it also uses reassuring Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. It does not surprise you but it convinces you that it is the amazing Android mobile phone itself — its audio configuration can be ranked KING level.

The design team takes into account the internal space of the entire phone when considering the sound effects. In addition, in terms of audio components, the G7 ThinQ is equipped with the Hi-Fi Quad DAC as what the other recent LG mobile phones do.

Moreover, it also adds DTS: X support (it is the first time that the technology appears on the mobile phones) in its design. Thus, even if users listen with the ordinary headphones, as long as the content is supported by DTS: X, they can enjoy the highest 7.1's 3D surrounding sound.

Essential Phone(PH-1) is as excellent as other mobile phones with strong functions except for that it was released in 2017.

To begin with, it is not an amazing mobile phone either. However, it is really a good deal for its far lower price $499 compared with $700 last year.

What’s more, this phone has a very prominent design on screen and has made a great improvement in its camera: the world’s smallest 360°personal camera introduced on its official website. It has no branding or logos anywhere on its surface and provides multiple choices in colors: Ocean Depths, Stellar Gray, Copper Black, and Halo Gray.

Last but not least, it has access in the four major carrier networks in the United States. It will not make you regretted if you choose Essential Phone(PH-1).

#8: The Big Screen That Fits in Your Hand: LG G6 ($380)

Few Android mobile phones can surpass the LG G6 in the market. The biggest feature and advantage is that G6 is intended to be a large-screened phone that would still be compact and feasible for one-handed use.

The G6 is designed with slim bezels and is slightly smaller in size than the G5. LG G6 has performed extremely well in 2017 for its high quality. In 2018, it continues to expand its kingdom.

This product has similar services like the Galaxy S9 and One Plus 6 but it has the advantage of the rather lower price. So maybe it can be added to your considerations. Besides, LG G6 is suitable for AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon networks.

LG V30 can be said to a kind of actually perfect Android mobile phone among LG phones, even though it is not surprisingly eye-catching.

Of course, it does not influence you to make it as a choice. After all, it is a great mobile phone. LG V30 does not provide a very fast processor as the previous LG phones do; it excels in other fields.

And the 6-inch 18:9 QHD OLED displaying is served with a narrow border, round corners, a Gorilla Glass 5 on the back surface, a dual camera and fingerprint sensor at the same time. The fingerprint sensor locates on where the index finger is placed, providing easy access for users.

If you are willing to select Android mobile phone with the larger screen as well as the stylus function, Galaxy Note 8, would be the best choice for you.

This is a high-end device with a slightly high-end price. It is the ever largest screen on Galaxy Note series but still fits easily in your hand.

According to its official introduction, Note 8 provides the dual camera and you can get sharp and steady optical photos and videos a long distance far away from your position with the 2x optical zoom.
