The 20 best smartphones in the world

Hollis Johnson/Business Insider

The last time we updated this list, the Google Pixel took the top spot away from the iPhone 7.

This month, we still consider the Pixel a superior phone, and we've added a surprise newcomer, which you'll find in 11th place.

To make way for the newcomer, it was time to take off the BlackBerry Passport. It's still a great, unique phone, but after three years on the market, it was time to let it go.

Here's our list of the best smartphones you can buy.

Note: Prices may vary depending on the retailer.

20. BlackBerry Classic

If you were a BlackBerry fan in the company's heyday, you're going to love the BlackBerry Classic. It looks similar to older BlackBerry models but features a sharp touch screen and an excellent physical keyboard.

Price: $319

19. BlackBerry Priv

The BlackBerry Priv is a huge departure for BlackBerry. Instead of running BlackBerry's own operating system, the Priv runs Android. While it may look like a standard Android phone, the Priv has a slide-out keyboard.

This could be a great device for those who want a physical keyboard but still want access to Google's apps and services that aren't available on other BlackBerry devices.

Price: $380

18. Moto G4

The Moto G4 is available in three models, including the $200 G4, the $250 G4 Plus, and the $150 G4 Play.

We reviewed the G4 Plus, which has a 16-megapixel camera, compared with the 13-megapixel shooter on the regular G4, and found that it's the best cheap smartphone you can buy. The G4 Plus also comes with a fingerprint sensor, while the other models don't.

Price: $150 to $250
