Best Phone of 2018

GOOGLE PIXEL 3

Phones in 2018 were mostly iterative, but there’s one company that continues to take us aback: Google. The Pixel 3 is the best phone of the year. It shines in a year of fantastic phones because Google has shown yet again that a rich software experience and artificial intelligence have the biggest potential to meaningfully impact your daily life.
 While it may not have the sexiest design or best-in-class hardware, the Pixel 3 undoubtedly has the best software experience, with A.I. powering many of our favorite features.
 Take Now Playing. It uses on-device machine learning to display the name of the song playing in your surroundings on the lock screen. We’ve reached for our phone, ready to search Google or use Shazam to find the song, only to see the Pixel 3 already has the answer.
 Another favorite is Call Screen. In a year where robocalls are higher than ever before, Google has a meaningful solution that has enabled us to never answer one ever again. Then there’s Google Duplex, which uses Assistant to make restaurant reservations for you, and that’s all without mentioning the host of machine learning techniques that empower the best-in-class camera.
 Night Sight, for example, uses A.I. to color in ultra-low-light environments, enabling you to take shareable photos at night that were otherwise impossible with a phone. The cherry on top? Timely security and software updates. You won’t have to wait months for the next Android version. If looks don’t impress, the Pixel 3’s A.I. prowess and camera will.
