Best Notch Smartphones (2018)

We round-up the best mobile phones with a screen notch that you can grab in 2018. Although many tech fans hate those notches, there's no denying that Apple's iPhone X has sparked a craze - and now many Android mobiles also come packing a display notch. Here's my favourite smartphones with this screen feature right now, from premium flagship devices to budget blowers.

My list of the best notch handsets includes:
iPhone X
Huawei P20 Pro
Huawei P20
OnePlus 6
LG G7
Honor 10
Asus Zenfone 5 and 5Z

You can check out my full reviews with these smartphones over at Recombu, while I've done comparisons with the likes of the P20 Pro and OnePlus 6 here on Tech Spurt. Check out my round-ups of the best Android phones, budget phones and other great mobile tech right here!

Did I miss out your favourite notch phone? Let me know which is your personal pick in the comments below. And apologies for leaving out the Essential Phone, Oppo F7 and a few others - I haven't personally reviewed them, so I can't say whether they're actually any good!

Apologies to anyone who doesn't like notches...this video is absolutely stuffed full of them. Let me know what 'best of' smartphone round-up you'd like me to do next, and I'll see what I can do ;)

Notch makes ur phone look more future like technology

That was a pretty rad video. Thanks. I'm so tired of people making a big deal of the notch. I actually prefer the look of the notch. It looks premium.

Wasn't it the essential phone that started the notch trend

Do a review on the oppo A3s and if its still worth buying in late 2019

The notch is such a bad compromise...bye bye notch.

Great video Chris ... What's happening with Recombo ? Dual channel or is Recombo on the way out ?

Wait, now I'm confused. The p10 was lackluster?

[Shadowdepparsch]

The first notch is from the essential Phone, an Android Phone!

Love the Honour 10, although I am a little envious of the oneplus 6, the a honour 10 is a beast

Samsung has the best "Notch" for me

[noumeg]

Essential pH-1 is the first phone with notch and the smallest notch

Best Notch Smartphones??? Really??? Because I don't see anything best or even good on having a notch on a smartphone

[cedric]

What about the Xiaomi a2 lite or Mi 8?

[lionelb]

Nice try, but a smartphone with a notch is by definition not a good smartphone! Lol

1+6 still number 1 for me! That's my opinion.
