Samsung
Samsung is the world’s largest phone maker. Like LG and Huawei, it has dozens of models and bargains can be found on last year’s models.
It has the J-series (2, 3, 5, 7, 8) from $229 to $449, A-series from $499 to $699 and the Galaxy S8 ($888), S9/Plus (1199/1349/1499) and Note9 series ($1499/1799).
GadgetGuy’s pick is the A8 because it heralds a new direction of high screen-to-body-ratio infinity screens. The J8 is also impressive.
