3. Apple iPhone 7 plus
The iPhone 7 Plus is an excellent phone. Its Apple’s best yet. In some respects, the upgrades seem to justify this, The Apple iPhone 7 plus offers more new features to the iPhone party than its smaller sibling.
Like the smaller device, the design sees refinement rather than overhaul, with Apple removing the headphone jack, hiding the antenna bars and adding waterproofing.
The novelty comes in the form of a zoomed camera and the option for digital bokeh effects.
The normal iPhone 7 doesn't have a dual sensor, and thus misses out on the Plus' 2x optical zoom feature. It also has better battery life than its little brother, making it more reliable over the course of the day.
The iPhone 7 Plus is big and heavy, as the range always has been, but it is incredibly well-built, capable and well-rounded.
4. OnePlus 3T

5. Samsung Galaxy S7
The Samsung Galaxy S6 was the best phone of 2015 and the Samsung Galaxy S7 takes what the SGS6 started and refines it.
It tweaks the design slightly, adds IP68 water and dust protection and brings the microSD card back.
Samsung has taken into account what its fans want, addressing the three main areas of concern: removable storage, waterproofing and battery life.
Internally, there's plenty of power for a slick performance from the Exynos or Qualcomm chipset and 4GB of RAM, alongside a wonderfully vibrant Quad HD AMOLED display.
