Not only have we seen Nokia make its long-awaited return to the Android smartphone market and BlackBerry bring back the old-school QWERTY keyboard, this year has also witnessed the debut of with Samsung's next-generation, non-fire phone Galaxy Note smartphone and Apple's long-awaited 10th anniversary iPhone.
We've rounded up the best of the bunch below.
The OnePlus 5 - soon to be preceded by the OnePlus 5T - is the Chinese firm's latest, and most expensive, self-styled 'flagship killer'.
Specs-wise, OnePlus' latest flagship is worth the extra cash, with its top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, whopping 8GB RAM and iPhone 7 Plus-rivalling dual camera setup, which OnePlus claims is the 'highest resolution' on the market right now. Elsewhere, you'll find a unibody aluminium chassis, 5.5in Full HD AMOLED display and a 3,300mAh battery, which we found often made it through two days.

Google Pixel XL
Some may call us mad for recommending Google's Pixel 2 XL. However, if you look past the handset's growing list of display issues (which Google has started to fix), the Pixel 2 XL is arguably the best Android smartphone on the market right now thanks to its blazing-fast performance, slick Oreo OS and 12MP single-lens camera that, somehow, manages to outperform even its highest-specced competitors.
