For those crying for the U11 please read the AA webpage post: "We had also planned to include the ZTE Axon M, HTC U11+ and Essential Phone but problems with a defective unit, lack of availability and delays in shipping meant these three devices failed to make the cut. We picked these devices as they’re the latest from each manufacturer and in the case of the Galaxy Note 8, LG V30 and others, they are better than their flagship siblings from earlier this year"

Again with charging to full, Moto z2 force had 2730 mAh comes first while mate 10 pro has 4000 and comes 2nd . I think by counting the mAh size mate 10 pro should be 1st.

Finally, I did something right in 2017 before this review was out and that was getting the Huawei Mate 10 Pro over my favourite brand, Nokia and Samsung. This phone is simply amazing and it's built in features are just practical in everyday use. I am currently addicted to its desktop viewing experience and smart remote which can simply control all of my home theatre system units! Now how cool is that!

I am from india, and now the best value for money is Lg V30+ ( 5t is around 580$ and around 690$ and V30+ comes with a vey nice ear phone )
So for me the winner is Lg V30+ ....

I sort of agree that the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is the best. They and the OnePlus 5T are the only ones who are different from the entire list.

Loving my Huawei mate 10, so glad to have gotten rid of a rotting apple.

Gary is my favorite andriod authority person because he made alot of videos for people to understand how the puzzle pieces fit together in a sense, as i am a tech head i know this stuff but i appreciate him helping other people know this information for the more "simple mind" thats not to say there arent alot of cool people that do phone reviews and tech explanations but this is just my opinion.

What if I told you features and added hardware does not necessarily mean a better “user experience”. Poor choice of wording...

[MTLoveridge]

HTC u11?

Come on, an excellent camera, great battery life, awesome audio experience, a great screen and it's fast.

So.... How wasn't that in the top 10?

[hellofromc-]

V30 winning at 'Best User Experience' only cuz of LG UX.
*Sarcasm intended*.

You guys should try out the mate 10 pro it really is something amazing. So glad I got the mate 10 pro as my daily driver.

[ChrisPanton]

Mate 10 pro doesn't have a 2k display. It's 1080p

[podracer]

10:30 What happened to the Note 8? Or really most other phones? The Mate 10 Pro was among the lowest in gaming time.

[sandeepreddy]

At 2:28, pro doesn't have 2k display and why mate 10 pro at 10:36 in gaming?

[Sacchidanand]

4:20 It should be Sony Xperia XZ Premium, not XZ1 as it's not Sony's premium flagship. And with 4k HDR and bigger battery.

Gary, you beast, this should be a monthly thing. Kudos AA for having Gary to host this.
