Yes, folks, it is that time when you get to choose which 2016 flagship smartphone would be your pick as a worthy purchase. With Pixel and Pixel XL officially announced, they are going to face an uphill battle with a wide range of phones coming from various manufacturers and to help you make a better decision on which device is going to be the ultimate flagship in your eyes, we have provided you with a detailed table highlighting the hardware specification differences as well as a poll to help voice your opinion. Let us get started.

Cast Your Vote If the Pixel, Pixel XL or Any Other Flagship Would Be Your Pick for a Worthy 2016 Flagship

One of the biggest grips of owning a stock Android device is the fact that it does not come with expandable storage, and even though running pure Android is a perk that millions of users love to experience, expandable storage is a feature that you sorely start to miss once you purchase a handset that comes without this crucial feature. With an array of handsets listed, it is honestly tough to say which device is going to be the winner, since they have all improved so much over the course of time, but we have compared the following devices:

2 of 9

Sometimes, the ideal way to just pick a worthy 2016 flagship is not by looking at how good these phones are, but to start nit picking them in such a manner that will make you feel like the tiny bits are missing from the smartphone. However, there are some fanboys whose decision we will not be able to revert no matter how hard we try, which is why the poll has been created specifically for you guys.

Think long and hard which phone you would love to purchase if you haven’t already, and to give you some motivation, I choose the 128GB version of iPhone 7 Plus.
