That being said, the iPhone XS Max has the same internals as its smaller XS sibling, and unsurprisingly, it works the same way. With a six-core A12 Bionic processor, this unit is likely to pack more power than most users need until some magical new app arrives to take advantage of that advantage.

Its OLED screen is one of the best ever on a smartphone, making watching movies and TV on the go pleasing and comfortable for the eyes.

Unfortunately, like the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max is a step backwards in terms of Apple's battery life. Where the iPhone X will last 30 hours between charges, the iPhone XS Max will only last 24 hours.

Depending on the region of delivery, the model is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 or Samsung Exynos 9810 chipset. These are no longer flagship models, but they are good enough for your favorite tanks or any other modern games to run at maximum settings.

What really sets the Note 9 apart from Roskachestvo's list of the best smartphones of 2019 is the gorgeous S Pen stylus. It has been enhanced this year with Bluetooth functionality so it can now remotely control music playback and camera shutter beyond its normal capabilities.

Galaxy Note 9 boasts excellent audio capabilities, thanks to support for Dolby Atmos and UHQ technology.

Pros: the battery lasts for a day and a half of active work, there is fast and wireless charging, there is a 3.5 mm audio jack.

That being said, the S10 only has one front-facing camera, as opposed to the S10 + with its dual cameras for enhanced portrait mode.

The list of the best smartphones of 2019, named Roskachestvo, is topped by the fastest, most functional and elegant Galaxy smartphone ever made by Samsung. Its maximum RAM capacity is 12 GB, and when combined with the powerful Exynos 9820 processor, this is enough for the most demanding mobile games and applications.

The S10 Plus is the first Samsung mobile phone to feature an all-new Infinity-O design with an AMOLED panel. It will show you not only 50 shades of gray, but also deep blacks, as well as saturated colors, after which you will not want to look at other screens.

The decision to move the front-facing camera into a small notch in the active display area allowed Samsung to equip the S10 Plus with a wide 6.4-inch bezel - the same size as the Note 9. And at the same time reduce the physical size of the smartphone compared to the 6.2-inch S9 Plus ...

The triple rear camera S10 Plus allowed the model to become one of the best camera phones according to Roskachestvo.

Finally, it's worth noting the new One UI based on Android Pie. It was designed from the ground up to allow users to comfortably operate such a massive screen with one hand. To do this, One UI shifts all the UI elements that you actually need to press to the bottom third of the touchscreen. There they are within easy reach.

Pros: Up to 1TB of microSD card storage (for the ceramic version), stunning Live Focus selfies from the front camera.

Cons: High price, slippery body.
