Obviously, you probably know this brand. It's Apple! Let's get this out of the way. Maybe you're looking for simplicity in a phone. An iPhone would be perfect in this case since it has software optimization. Apple is also known for the security on its phones, so if you're worried about that, it is highly unlikely a hacker can gain access to any of your personal data.

This is another popular flagship brand out there. This is Samsung. Samsung uses Android software, which makes it possible to have more flexibility. If you're someone who is interested in rooting the phone and customizing it, Android is a much better. Also, Samsung phones usually have higher resolution displays and cameras.

Though not as well known as the two other major flagship brands, the One Plus 7 Pro takes credit for its true bezel-less design. While other brands have excelled at removing the bezels on their phones, those phones did not have a true bezel-less design since there was a notch for a camera. This phone has a pop-up camera to do the job.

What's great about this phone is that it is known to be a true flagship killer. It looks and has the experience of a premium phone, and it is still affordable for people who are looking for a cheaper phone. The Xiaomi Mi Note 10 is incredibly smooth with a premium design. It is possible to find online priced under $500.
