Top 10 Best Samsung Cell Phones 2018

Considering this phone's aggregate rank of 87%, we are confident that the Samsung Galaxy S9 is currently Phonerated's best Samsung phone 2018. Furthermore, we think that our 607 reviews sampled from our sources give us a high confidence level that pushes us to label it a "no-brainer best choice."

The Galaxy Note8 threatens a lot of already-established premium smartphones with a 6.3-inch WQHD+ (2960 x 1440) Infinite Display, 6GB of RAM (eight-core 10nm CPU), and Samsung's own Bixby voice assistant leading its specs.

With its star rating of 4.5 computed from 1087 reviews, we rank this Samsung model second best Samsung phone. * This list is based on an in-depth analysis of hundreds of reviews from multiple sources.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is one of Samsung's two MWC 2018 entries that skirt ultra-high-end smartphone territory with specs like a 5.8-inch 18.5:9 570ppi display, a 12-megapixel Dual Pixel cam with Super Slow-mo (960fps), and an eight-core chip clocked at 2.8GHz + 1.7GHz.

While it banks on its 6.2-inch infinity display the most to make waves, the Galaxy S8 Plus smartphone also features other amped-up specs like an 8-megapixel selfie shooter which can take 1440p videos (one of the first -- if not the first -- of its kind), VR support, and a Snapdragon 835 processor in its core.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is an enlarged version of Samsung's flagship S9 smartphone whose specs include a 6.2-inch 18.5:9 1440p screen, a dual 12-megapixel camera with Super Slow-mo and Dual Aperture Mode, and a 2.8GHz + 1.7GHz octa-core engine.

The Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro hopes that its combo of a 3600mAh battery and two 13-megapixel cameras is enough to convince the phone photography-loving crowd, and at the same time, to potentially distract from its less-than-impressive 1.6GHz processor specs.

This revamped version of Samsung's Galaxy A5 smartphone lists high-end specs like two 16-megapixel f/1.9 cameras, a 1.9GHz eight-core engine, and an IP68-rated (water- and dust-tight) casing among its selling points.

With its 5-inch HD screen, 2600mAh battery, and 1.5GB RAM, the Galaxy J3 is neither a disappointing nor an overly-impressive mid-tier attempt.

This flagship-tier smartphone is home to an always-on Quad HD 5.1-inch display, a 2.1GHz quad-core 14nm 64-bit CPU with a 4GB RAM, and Samsung's Dual Pixel camera technology (12-megapixel f/1.7 camera).

Basically a step-up model of the S6 Edge, this 5.5-inch Quad HD smartphone accompanies its Edge Screen technology with a 4GB LPDDR4 RAM, the Dual Pixel camera technology (12-megapixel camera), and a 14nm 64-bit Snapdragon 820 processor.

The C7 Pro takes the original C7 phone's camera specs up a notch, sporting 16-megapixel front and selfie cameras along with 4GB of RAM and a 2.2GHz octa-core processor -- although it misses out on 4K-video recording and a highly-competitive display.
