One of the great advantages of the Android ecosystem is the wide diversity and variety of models it provides. If you can't find a smartphone that meets your needs, then most likely that phone doesn't even exist.
In the Android Olympus of this 2016 there have been several models that have stood out above the rest, and brands such as Samsung, Sony, HTC or Huawei strengthen their positions for another year. But let's get to the point, to the practical: what are the best phones of 2016? I think almost everyone will agree that Samsung has blown away their new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge ...
Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
Samsung has always stood out for the quality of its Galaxy S line, and last year although they presented a great model with their Samsung Galaxy S6, it lacked a couple of details that were a bit ugly: it had no removable battery and storage cards could not be added. external (2 things that had always been possible with all its models). With the new Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, although the battery is still not removable now, the storage space can be expanded in the event that you do not have enough with the 32 GB that comes standard.
The design is very similar to the previous model, although it is a bit thicker to store a larger battery, it is a stylish phone where they exist.

HD AMOLED screen, a super processor like the Snapdragon 810, 3450 mAh battery (!!) and 12 MP camera. In the US it can be purchased for $ 499, and in other countries the price is somewhat higher, but it always tends to be a bit below other brown beasts such as Samsung's Galaxy S7 models.

HTC 10
There was a time when HTC was at the top of the wave, but little by little it was fading. With the new HTC 10 the Taiwanese company is back to its old ways, delivering a truly succulent mobile device. It comes with a metal casing, fingerprint detector, Snapdragon 820 processor, and a powerful 12 MP camera. Hopefully this is the beginning of a beautiful reunion between HTC and its lifelong audience.

LG G5
The first modular mobile in history. What does this mean? That we can detach the bottom of the phone to add new accessories, such as a small module that includes more battery and a better camera or a module to listen to music in high fidelity.

In terms of performance, it is very much on the wave of other high-end smartphones: Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage.
