Best smartphone: Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G

Choosing the best smartphone from so many great options isn’t easy at all. In the end, the winner here was the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G, thanks to the perfect combination of all the specs that make it an exceptional—and truly top—smartphone.

First and foremost, it’s about support for 5G mobile networks that are only slowly starting to roll out here, while in other parts of the world the technology is already well established. With the Mi 9 Pro, this tech pairs nicely with above-average performance.

The phone got the most powerful processor of its time – the Snapdragon 855 Plus, which in the base version is paired with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage, and in the more expensive version even up to 12 GB RAM and 512 GB of storage.
