Samsung Edge design became so popular and arriving S8 Plus it reached its fullest. S8 Plus design is totally mirror cracking and S9 Plus is a minor update of S8 Plus in terms of design (correct placement of fingerprint scanner and heart rate sensor on rear panel).
Other than so sexy design, S9 Plus comes packed with lots of unique features that other phones don’t have such as 3D face creator with augmented reality, intellegent scan which is securer than iPhone Face ID (Iris+Face recognition), best to date AMOLED display, powerful CPU (geekbench result is closest to iPhone X CPU) etc.

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge
Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge look much similar to their predecessors S6 and S6 Edge+ in terms of design. However, as far as specifications are concerned, S7 series is a remarkably big upgrade. Both devices come packed with Snapdragon 820, Adreno 530 and 4GB of RAM. Galaxy S7 has a 5.1 inches QHD display, while S7 Edge has a larger 5.5 inches display at the same resolution. Both smartphones are IP68-certified water and dust resistant and are protected with Gorilla Glass 4 on either panel. Samsung has been doing its best to wash off the stigma of poor design and its efforts in this regard seem to have taken a great leap forward with the launch of S6 Edge+, S7 and S7 Edge by implementing elegant and appealing metallic designs in these devices. Their designs are very ingenious and so head-turning and magnificently graceful that you may call them love-at-first-sight capable designs with S7 Edge having literally an edge over S7. Fingerprint scanner is studded on the rear panel at home button of both devices.

Meizu Pro 6
Meizu Pro 6, the successor of Meizu Pro 5, looks much like a iPhone 6S but we can say that Meizu puts a lot of efforts to make the design much better. It reduces bezels on front making it almost bezel less. However, Meizu fails to reduce space above and below the screen that could have been trimmed. Like other Meizu flagship phones, fingerprint scanner is located on home button. Coming to processing things, Meizu Pro 6 boasts off a powerful MediatTek Helio X25 deca-core CPU coulpled with Mali T880 and 4GB of RAM. Helio X25 is a three clustered processor ( 2+4+4 CPU cores) that makes it extremly power efficient and fast. If you are looking for a super powerful but affordable phone for heavy usage or heavy gaming you can head to Meizu Pro 6. 5.2 inches Super AMOLED display protected with Corining Gorilla Glass 4, 21MP rear+ 5MP front cameras and fast charging, reversible USB connector are another salient features of this device. But we are wondering why Meizu Pro 6 comes with a only 2560mAh battery and have no expandable memory slot
