HTC First review: The socialite
If you like the Mi8 but your budget can’t stretch this this is the phone for you. Read our Xiaomi Pocophone F1 review. 7. Huawei P20 Pro In the P20 Pro Huawei has delivered a stunning phone which should be on your shortlist along with the Galaxy S9 and iPhone X. Sure, there are some niggles such as the lack of stabilisation for 4K video, no headphone jack and no wireless charging,but if your priority is photography then the P20 Pro does not disappoint. Add in the long battery life, dual SIM slots and great screen and you’ve got the complete package: this is one of the best phones of 2018. It’s a fair amount more than the regular model so save yourself £200 on the regular P20 if you don’t mind ‘only’ dual rear cameras, no waterproofing and an LCD screen vs OLED.

It boasts a fingerprint scanner embedded in the display, a notch-less design and a front-facing camera that pops out of the frame when required.

It’s not just a gimmicky concept phone though; the performance is good enough to compete with flagship smartphones from the likes of Samsung, OnePlus and LG. Oh, and it’s £100s cheaper than the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy S9+ too. Read our Vivo Nex review. 9. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S The original full-display smartphone is evolving into something really special. Now with wireless charging, faster performance and a dual-camera that builds in AI, the Mi Mix 2S is a closer rival to western flagships than ever – and at a fraction of the price. The Mi Mix 2S majors on performance and design.

With its ceramic, mirror-finish case and 18:9 display it looks and feels incredible in the hand. With full Google services the Xiaomi is easy to recommend, although it’s not ideal for selfie and audio fanatics with a poorly positioned front camera and a mono speaker that doesn’t make up for the lack of a headphone jack. Battery life could also be better, and we’d like to see the company finally take the plunge with a Quad-HD display and waterproofing. Read our Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S review.

10. Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite The Mi 8 Lite is an excellent-value mid-range phone with a gorgeous design and some decent hardware, particularly in the camera department. We’re excited for what Xiaomi’s entrance to the UK means for the mid-range smartphone market. Read our Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite review.
11. Xiaomi Mi A2 The inclusion of Android One makes Xiaomi phones so much more easily accessible to UK- and US users – and that’s a very good thing, finally allowing those outside China and India (and more recently Spain, France and Italy) a taste of what else is out there on the market. The Mi A2 (also available running MIUI as the Mi 6X) merely whets our appetite for what’s coming our way when Xiaomi officially launches in the UK on 8 November. A fantastic budget phone, the Mi A2 is just £199 and easily obtainable from Amazon.
It combines decent build quality with a nice display, good all-round performance and a well-specced trio of cameras. It out-specs and out-performs every other phone in our budget smartphone chart. Read our Xiaomi Mi A2 review. 12. Elephone U Pro A stunning design isn’t enough to conceal the imperfections, and while the U Pro from Elephone makes a very decent mid-range handset you will get more for less money elsewhere, such as in the Mi 8 Lite and Mi A2. Nonetheless, as mid-range phones go we don’t think too many users will be disappointed.
Read our Elephone U Pro review. 13. Honor 9 The Honor 9 is an undeniably impressive phone and although the Honor 10 is out, you can still buy it even cheaper direct from Honor. In performance terms, it’s nipping at the heels of the year’s top flagships, and only lacking flashy features like waterproofing or a bezel-less screen.
