The 18 best smartphones in the world

If you were a BlackBerry fan back in the company's heyday, you're going to love the BlackBerry Classic. It looks similar to older BlackBerry models, but features a sharp touchscreen and an excellent physical keyboard.

Price: $380

The BlackBerry Priv is a huge departure for BlackBerry. Instead of running BlackBerry's own operating system, the Priv runs Android. While it may look like a standard Android phone, the Priv actually has a slide-out keyboard. This could be a great device for those who want a physical keyboard but still have access to Google's apps and services that aren't available on other BlackBerry devices.

Price: $700

If you're looking for a decent Android phone at a rock-bottom price, you should check out the Moto G. It's not the most powerful phone, but it will be good enough for just about anything the average user can throw at it. And it's tough to beat that price tag.

Price: $180

The HTC One M9 is the latest flagship phone from HTC. It has a nice, premium design, but it's nothing special other than that. It's also missing key premium features like a mobile payments system and fingerprint sensor.

Price: $650

The iPhone 6 may be over a year old, but it's still a good option if you want to save some money on an iPhone. Plus, the iPhone 6 looks exactly like the iPhone 6S. No one will know you have last year's phone.

Price: $549

The iPhone 6 Plus is still one of the best jumbo-sized phones you can buy today. And by buying last year's model, you can get nearly the same experience as the new iPhone 6S Plus while saving $100.

Price: $649

The OnePlus 2 is an excellent choice if you're looking for a well-made phone with premium specs but don't want to spend to much. The device is made by a Chinese startup called OnePlus, and the only way to get one is by ordering through the company directly. But be patient. Supplies are extremely limited.

The Moto X Pure Edition is one of the most surprising new phones to launch this year. It runs a nearly pure version of Android, although there are some Motorola-specific apps and features. (They're not intrusive at all though.)

Price: $399

It may look like an iPhone, but the HTC One A9 is totally different on the inside. The new device from HTC sports a premium design, and minimal changes to Android. It's a great experience if you can past the fact some may confuse it for the iPhone.

Samsung's flagship Galaxy S6 is a great all-around device if you're looking for a beautiful phone. It has everything you'd expect from a premium device on top of the great design, including a fast and accurate fingerprint sensor and Samsung Pay, the company's new mobile payments system.

The Galaxy Note 5 is a killer big-screen phone. Like previous versions of the Note, it has a large, vibrant display and a stylus for taking notes. The new metal and glass design is great too.

Samsung started making some seriously gorgeous phones in 2015, and the Galaxy S6 Edge is the prime example of that. The phone is pretty much the same as the "regular" Galaxy S6, but it has a beautiful curved screen.

The Galaxy S6 Edge+ is a jumbo-sized version of the "regular" S6 Edge. It's also the best smartphone Samsung has ever made. The curved screen may not add much extra functionality, but boy is it pretty.

Price: $815

The Nexus 5X is one of Google's newest flagships, and it's one of the best phones you can buy today. The only true rival it has is the iPhone. If you don't want an iPhone and want to see the best of Android, then the Nexus 5X won't disappoint.

Price: $379

The Nexus 6P is a slightly larger version of the new Nexus 5X. It's made by Huawei, a Chinese smartphone company with an excellent reputation for hardware. It's also the best Android phone you can buy today.

Price: $499

The new iPhone 6S Plus is the best of the big-screen phones. It may look the same as last year's model, but it has some new features like 3D Touch, which can detect how hard you press down on the screen and open up a new layer of controls for you apps.

The iPhone 6S is the best phone you can buy.

In addition to beautiful hardware, iPhone owners are guaranteed to always get the best apps first from third-party developers and reliable software updates with the latest and greatest features from Apple. No other device can offer that.

In a few weeks, Microsoft will launch what will almost certainly be the best Windows Phones. The new Lumia 950 and 950 XL will be the first phones to run Windows 10, the latest version of Windows.

OnePlus has a really nice phone coming soon, and it'll only cost $250. The OnePlus X will launch on November 19, and promises a premium design and relatively powerful specs for a bargain.
