10 Of The Best Android Phones Ever Made
By MELISSA PERENSON
Droid X
Released in 2010, the Droid X was Motorola’s second-generation flagship phone and a competitor to iPhones during the early days of Android smartphones.
The phone ran Android 2.1 and included a 16GB card to supplement the 8GB of onboard storage and a then-cutting edge eight-megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash.
HTC Hero
HTC was once a major Android phone maker, releasing products like the HTC Hero in 2009. This was the first HTC phone to introduce a 3.5-millimeter headphone jack.
It was also the first Android phone to support a multi-touch screen, which enabled pinch and zoom motions, and to integrate a browser with a scaled-down version of Adobe Flash.
Nexus 4
The Nexus 4 came with an IPS LCD touchscreen with a Corning Gorilla Glass 2 cover layer and Qi wireless charging. However, it didn’t have 4G LTE or a microSD card slot.

HTC One
The HTC One (M7) came out in 2013 and needed to catch up with its rivals. It introduced several new innovative features to compete with Samsung and Apple.
Its 4.7-inch Full HD 1,980-pixel display struck an appealing balance between size and pixels-per-inch and was more convenient to hold than the 5-inch competing models.
LG V20
One of the last significant phone releases from LG, the V20 made an impact in 2016 as a phone aimed at content creation.
The phone had two displays that functioned separately. It also included features like a 5.7-inch IPS LCD with 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and an impressive digital-to-audio converter.
