Apple launched three phones this year and the first two were overshadowed by the third.
In fact, many of the selling points found on the pricier iPhone X, such as wireless charging capabilities thanks to a newly designed glass back, and a super-speedy A11 Bionic processor, are on the cheaper 8 and 8 Plus.

And the 8 Plus has an improved dual camera which is not far off that in the iPhone X.

True, the borders on top and bottom of the screen are noticeably bigger than on some phones released last year but at least the deep chin at the bottom means there’s room on the front for the Touch ID fingerprint sensor – still by far the best place for such a sensor, I’d argue.

And although battery life on iPhones is a touchy subject at the moment, the iPhone 8 Plus manages to go on and on. Since the iPhone X also uses a moderately different version of iOS 11, traditionalists may well enjoy the iPhone 8 more. I’m still predicting that despite initial sluggish sales that the iPhone 8 will be among the most successful small-screen phones of 2017.

Samsung Galaxy S8

After the unfortunate issues of some Galaxy Note 7 phones catching fire, it was no surprise that the Galaxy S8 took a more cautious path. You could almost hear the Samsung top brass holding their breath as the phone was released. Well, you can breathe easy, Samsung execs. The S8 worked just fine and, with one exception, was pretty successful in every way.

     The exception, of course, is the fingerprint sensor slap-bang next to the camera lens. It took some time, literally several weeks, to routinely find this sensor without looking and while I never really saw smudged photos as a result of erroneously pressing the lens, it was a concern. Of course, the iris scanner and face recognition options meant I could choose those ways to unlock the phone, but I never found them as reliable – something that made me worry about face recognition for the iPhone X when it was announced.

     

   But this was the only real issue. The phone even came with Bluetooth 5 which made an innovation called Bluetooth Dual Audio possible, so two people could listen to music from the same phone on separate wireless headphones.

Samsung Galaxy Note8

This, make no mistake, is a dazzling phone. The first phone with a 4K HDR display, capable of slow motion at a remarkable 960 frames per second and a brilliant 19-megapixel camera. It even has a highly convenient, side-mounted fingerprint sensor and strong battery life. So, why didn’t it attract more attention than it did?

Sony has often pioneered new features on its handsets – they were routinely waterproof before rivals caught up and the camera pixel count has almost always outranked the competition. But somehow, the phones haven’t taken off. Perhaps it’s the design, which, though elegant enough, seems increasingly defined by the large spaces above and below the display. Or the fact that some features, such as playing back 4K content natively was held back by the fact that compatible content was pretty limited.

It’s a phone that should have done better, but at least it means that the price has dropped considerably, making it an even better buy now.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro

The 6in-screened Mate 10 Pro arrived with claims of strong AI capabilities and boasts from the Chinese company that its processing power was way more than the iPhone X.

It’s certainly a proficient, fast and powerful handset with a slick design and impressive camera – helped along by those AI smarts which automatically adjust settings when the snapper recognizes what you’re photographing.

Unlike some of the glass-backed phones here, it isn’t capable of wireless charging and not everyone likes their fingerprint sensor to be on the back of the phone, but these are among the more serious of the phone’s flaws, which is to say it’s pretty good.

In other respects, most boxes were ticked: OLED screen that covers almost all the phone, water resistance, dual-lens camera, fast-charging battery (from nothing flat to 20% in 10 minutes) and so on.

And Huawei was ahead of the curve with its performance capabilities, too. It introduced the ‘Born Fast, Stay Fast’ technology from last year’s P10 phone, designed to keep the phone running at or close to its day one performance 18 months down the line
