With all of the major phones having been announced in the last few months that will serve as flagship devices heading into 2017, it’s that time of year where we take a look at the field and give you our suggestions as to what the next device you should carry onto the jobsite should be.
When we do this each year we take price, build quality, speed and certain specs like camera and screen quality into consideration. Here are our top five picks.
LG has done some impressive work over the last few years in gaining respect among manufacturers of Android phones. While the company has provided screens to competing manufacturers for years, it’s own phones have gradually progressed in terms of quality. The V20 has an excellent dual-camera setup on the rear similar to the iPhone 7 Plus, it’s storage is expandable up to 256 GB via microSD and it sports a beautiful 5.7-inch, 2560 x 1440 display.
The V20 is also plenty powerful. It has a healthy amount of RAM at 4GB and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 processor. Plus, it runs the latest version of Android—7.0 Nougat—and boasts military standard impact durability. It also has a nifty banner-like secondary display that sits atop the primary display and displays app shortcuts, widgets, useful information and more.
