Choosing the best Android smartphone can be a real task since there are so many choices available. These handsets powered by Google are amongst the fastest and most efficient phones in the market today and come loaded with features, design elements, software hacks, and very solid hardware. Of course when it comes to various factors while picking a phone, price, durability, design, and processing capabilities are also big decision makers.

With this in mind, here are the best Android phones available today:

1. Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
This new-wave wonder from Samsung has been at the top of tech insider lists for some time now. Every new iteration of the Galaxy has always pushed the envelope and this one is no different. It design elements stand out and is the phone is almost bezel-less. The power packed performance it gives the user is commendable as well. While it is not very different from the S8, the phone has its fingerprint sensor below the rear camera. The dual camera is positioned on the rear to facilitate better photography in low-light, along with 960 frames per second slow motion recording, making this a must buy for any Android lover. There are some great Samsung Galaxy S9+ deals in the market as well if you decide to buy this model.

2. Huawei P20 Pro
Huawei has invested considerable amounts into their R&D, and that innovation really shines through in this new model. The two-tone finish, which is visible on the rear really gives this phone a design aesthetic unlike anything you have ever seen. The triple camera that is conveniently positioned on the rear is perfect for low-light photography. Huawei has really upped the ante with this latest model.

3. Samsung Galaxy Note 9
Many may buy Samsung Galaxy Note 9, which is similar in many respects to the S9 and the S9 Plus, but this model has a taller body and a very sleek stylus that fits into the side of the phone. The price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has always been expensive, a whopping USD 1000 to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 9 128 GB variant. However, it is completely worth it if you consider that the 845 processor is Snapdragon-enabled and the dual-camera with 12 megapixels is one for the ages. The Spen is Bluetooth powered, and for people who use office tools a lot, you can use slides and take pictures with a button present on the side.

3. LG G7 ThinQ
The latest offering from LG is the G7 that is miles ahead of its predecessor, the G6. The design elements featured here are stunning. The camera is another thing of beauty. The phone has an ultra-bright mode that increases brightness up to 1000 nits. The camera features two strategically placed cameras on the rear with a wide angle lens for a better picture quality. The audio enhancements are also spectacular with a state of the art boombox speaker that really lets you dig into your favourite tunes while you relax.

4. Google Pixel 2 XL
The Google Pixel 2 XL is really something else thanks to its mind-blowing camera. If you are in the market for a phone with a great camera exclusively, then look no further. The optical image stabilization and the image processing are something to be reckoned with. Google makes use of its AI to enhance images based on conditions. The other features, like the black-and-white body, and the near beze-lessl design are also spectacular.
