The 20 best smartphones in the world
Phew! Everyone make it through the annual summer smartphone drought?
OK, good, because a bunch of new smartphones have recently been announced and released this month, and it's time to rejigger this list.
We have a new top phone that replaces the Google Pixel, and we also had to make some tough decisions regarding the Galaxy S8 and iPhone 7.
Here's our list of the best smartphones you can buy right now.
Note: Prices may vary depending on the retailer.
20. BlackBerry Classic
BlackBerry
If you were a BlackBerry fan 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: $199
19. Sony XZ Premium

My colleague Jeff Dunn reviewed this phone, and he summed it up perfectly:
"This is a good phone. The screen is great, the software is clean, and the whole thing is superfast. But good isn't enough for $800. With its underwhelming battery and slippery, sometimes uncomfortable design, it's not the device that should reverse Sony's fortunes."
It's actually available now for $605 on Amazon, which is a better price for this phone.
Price: $605

18. BlackBerry KeyOne

The BlackBerry KeyOne with Android is the company's successor to the Priv, which also ran Android and had a slide-out physical keyboard. With the KeyOne, BlackBerry returned to basics and kept the keyboard as a permanent exterior feature.
This could be a great device for those who want a physical keyboard but also access to Google's apps and services, which aren't available on other BlackBerry devices.
Price: $538
