So, are you man, or woman, enough to handle the new Galaxy Note 10 plus smartphone? If yes, let’s see why. This phone comes with a huge 6.8-inch full HD OLED screen that can produce an incredible display, thanks to the Snapdragon 8-core processor, 12GB of system memory, and great camera features that’ll make you take full HD images and videos like a pro.

It’s gonna turn heads if you’re working at the corporate level.

The hardware specs are great enough for casual gaming, for taking great quality videos and pictures, and for great overall phone performance. It’s really frustrating that you can’t plug-in earphones for hands-free use or listening to music on the move. But it’s a great addition to the Samsung Galaxy family with already a great collection of smartphones available. Here are the reasons why. 

So, you still think you can handle one of the top smartphones of 2019? If you can, if you want a powerful smartphone with great specs and features, and have a really deep pocket, then consider it as your next buy.

If you really not into all the high premium features and looking for a budget smartphone, then the Moto G7 Power may be for you. The phone comes with a 6.2-inch LCD screen, with an 8-core Snapdragon 632 processor, a choice of a 3 or 4GB RAM, and a choice of a 32 or 64GB internal storage.

On the outside, there’s a 12MP camera with an 8MP selfie camera, and a 5000 mAh battery with 15-hour battery life. The G7 Power is just a smartphone that appeals to a target market that doesn’t see the need for all the premium features that other top rated Android smartphones provide.

The only thing that stands out is the huge battery inside that will give you 15 hours of battery life per charge. Overall, this is a great phone. It will get through the day, it works well, and you won’t have to worry about its power.

If you are looking for a smartphone for primary use, don’t mind living without the high features of other top rated Android smartphones except for the longer-lasting battery, then this may be a good option for you.

Are you ready to know one of the top Android smartphones with the most unique feature? Introducing the Oneplus 7 Pro smartphone. This phone comes with an 8-core Snapdragon 855 processor, with a choice of 6, 8 or 12GB system memory, a choice of either a 128 or a 256GB internal storage, and a 4000 mAh battery for all-day-long battery life.

It all comes together with a huge 6.67-inch full HD+ screen, a triple-lens camera, and a unique motorised pop-up selfie camera from the top of the phone. The motorised pop-up camera leaves the smartphone without a normal lens in front, giving it a unique look to it, almost making it look better.

I really like that feature. It’s a pity it has no micro SD slot, but you have 3 model options from 128 to 256GB internal storage. It would be a nice addition.

Overall, the Oneplus 7 Pro’s a great smartphone with a choice of models that cater to any budget, with hardware specs that give it great performance for normal use and casual gaming, and camera quality that may not be the best but still performs well. So, if you’re looking for a great performance smartphone, with something different and unique, you will definitely find it here.
