Most people use their smartphones for entertainment, but some prefer a work oriented device. Knowing that today we bring you our choices for best productivity flagships.

1. Apple iPhone 8 plus

Just released a few hours ago, the Apple iPhone 8 plus has proven to be an indispensable partner to whoever relies on tech gadget in their work. Much of this is thanks to the iOS that puts user experience at the highest priority. The efficiency at which the OS runs the device allows you to run the apps needed for your works without delay.

In combination with the already powerful OS, the new iPhone 8 plus comes with new and upgraded hardware to make it even more of a beast phone. The specs sheet shows six cores instead of four in the CPU. And running it is the Apple homemade A11 chipset. For the memory, the device measures 3GB RAM and 64/256GB storage. Usually, 3GB is too little for a smartphone. But this is the iOS we are talking about so more anything above 3GB is likely wasted potential.

2. Samsung Galaxy Note 8

What is better than your trusty pen& paper notes? A “Note” that takes pictures like a DSLR, runs like a computer and an S pen to operate the said “Note.” Yep, that’s the description for the Galaxy Note 8 from Samsung. With 6-inch, super AMOLED display, taking notes with the device feels just as comfortable as with papers. So maybe it’s time you let your old pal pen&paper enjoy their retirement and employ the new Samsung flagship?

3. LG V30

Just like the Note 8, the V30 from LG features a huge 6-inches, P-OLED screen to replace your paper notes. Unlike the Note 8, the V30 doesn’t need a pen to bring it to unleash its full potential. Moreover, this device focuses more on the camera with a dual 16+13MP lens. And for the record, that lens possesses the largest aperture today of f/1.6. On the other side, the selfie cam sports 8MP resolution sensors. So in a sense, the LG V30 says “why write when you can just take a picture?”

4. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2

It seems that Xiaomi wants to take the “no delay” approach like Apple but via hardware instead of software. Indeed, the Mi Mix 2 specs sheet has one of the biggest numbers. There is a 5.99-inch, 2K display, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage and a Snapdragon 835 chipset with an 8-cores CPU. In a word, if speed and a large screen are what you are looking for, this phone is for you.

5. Huawei Mate 10

Another Chinese phone on the contender list is the Huawei Mate 10. The device features Huawei’s self-manufacture chipset the Kirin 970. Additionally, the phone has a 5.99-inch, 2K display and 6GB RAM with two storage options: 64/128GB. The main camera boast 20+12MP with f/1.6 aperture. So all in all, this device looks pretty good both inside and outside. We are eager to have our first review on it.
