9. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium: Best display

Sony would be proud of being the first manufacturer in the world to produce a flagship smartphone like Sony Xperia Z5 Premium with up to 4K display and super high 806 PPI. Sony Xperia Z5 Premium uses a 5.5-inch IPS LCD screen. However, the problem making people concern about the handset is quite similar to the prob of TV 4K. It is the fact of lacking original 4K contents, which will force the machine to upscale the images and videos to 4K and normally their qualities will not be as good as the original’s. Anyhow, a Z5 Premium is promising to bring you great experience with the display.

10. Marshall London: Sound is a priority

Yes, we can easily recognize that this phone is designed to look like amplifiers and headphones which Marshall is famous for.

Interestingly, you can find out that there is a wheel on one side of the phone to help control the volume.

11. LG V10: Special with a dual display

It looks pretty big due to the 5.7-inch Quad HD main and 2.1-inch secondary display on the front, but impressive! With the smaller screen, you can easily receive notifications popped up on it, quickly use some apps by clicking their shortcuts, control music, and check for calendar, events as well as your personal message. So convenient and helpful for working and playing, right?!
