With many manufacturers offering smartphones that are perfect for workers of all levels,
we’ve updated this guide to give you the very latest buying advice to help you choose the
best smartphones for business use.

1. Samsung Galaxy Note 9: The absolute best business phone in the world right now
Release date: August 2018 | Weight: 205g | Dimensions: 162 x 76.4 x 9mm | OS: Android
8.1 | Screen size: 6.4-inch | Resolution: 2960×1440 | CPU: Exynos 9810 | RAM: 6/8GB |
Storage: 128/512GB (up to 1TB with card) | Battery: 4,000mAh | Rear camera: 12MP +
12MP | Front camera: 8MP CLOSE $699.99 View at Amazon

- Much better battery/Improved S Pen/Hefty device to hold/Mostly iterative upgrades

If you want the very best business smartphone, no matter what the cost, then the Samsung
Galaxy Note 9 is the one to go for. It's got a spec list to die for, including a huge screen, bags
of RAM, a huge 4,000mAh battery and up to 1TB of storage. It's also got a microSD slot and a
headphone jack – something that many modern smartphones lack. It's also got some great
business-specific features, such as an improved Bluetooth stylus (known as the S Pen), and if
you plug it into a USB-C dock or USB-C to HDMI, it can be used in DeX mode, replicating a
desktop-environment that can replace your desktop PC. Seriously impressive.

2. Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Another brilliant business phone from Samsung

Release date: March 2018 | Weight: 189g | Dimensions: 158.1 x 73.8 x 8.5mm | OS: Android
8 | Screen size: 6.2-inch | Resolution: 1440 x 2960 | CPU: Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810 |
RAM: 6GB | Storage: 64GB/128GB | Battery: 3,500mAh | Rear camera: Dual 12MP | Front
camera: 8MP $614.99 View at Newegg

- Super premium build/Excellent low-light cameras/ Battery doesn't last as well as some
others on the list
You'll be in good hands if you opt to give your employees the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. It
improves on almost every aspect of the phones that have come before it, with supremely
powerful components, a dazzling 6.2-inch QHD Super AMOLED display and a top notch
camera - but it's not all fun.
The Galaxy S9 Plus also comes with Samsung's Knox security, which the firm says is just as
secure - if not more - as BlackBerry's DTEK50 and Priv devices. You'll need deep pockets, but
you won't regret it.

3. OnePlus 6: A brilliant performer for the price

Weight: 177g | Dimensions: 155.7 x 75.4 x 7.8 mm | OS: Android 8.1 Oreo | Screen size: 6.3-
inch | Resolution: 1080 x 2280 | CPU: Octa-core (4x2.8 GHz Kryo 385 Gold & 4x1.7 GHz Kryo

385 Silver) | RAM: 6GB/8GB | Storage: 64GB/128GB | Battery: 3300mAh | Rear camera:
20MP + 16MP | Front camera: 16MP $484 View at Amazon

- Plenty of power, strong cameras/Clean, fuss-free Android interface/'Only' a Full HD

resolution/No expandable storage
The OnePlus 6 is our newest phone on this list, and like its predecessor, it is an affordable
flagship handset, and offers one of the best Android phone experiences on the market,
especially when using it for work. You have the choice of either 6GB or 8GB of RAM
depending on your needs - for most people 6GB will be more than enough. The battery life
could be better, so make sure you have easy access to a charger if your work depends on you
always being connected, and there's still no microSD support on the OnePlus 6, much like
previous OnePlus phones, but you do have the choice of either 64GB or 128GB of internal
storage.
The true highlight of the OnePlus 6 is the price, though, and this may will be one of the best
devices for you on this list if you're looking to spend as little as possible on a top-of-the-range
phone for your business needs.

4. iPhone XS: The best iPhone Apple has ever made

Release date: September 2018 | Weight: 177g | Dimensions: 143.6 x 70.9 x 7.7mm | OS: iOS

64/256/512GB | Battery: 2658mAh | Rear camera: 12MP+12MP | Front camera: 7MP
$999.99 View at Walmart

- Fast operation in the hand/ More powerful again/ Battery life not world-
beating/Expensive
If you're looking for the best Apple business smartphone, then the iPhone XS is the one to
get. It's the pinnacle of Apple's smartphone design, offering a gorgeous 5.8-inch OLED screen,
improved battery life and an amazing camera that's arguably the best you'll find on a
smartphone. It's very expensive though, but if you want a business smartphone that can do
almost everything, and with a gorgeous design, then this is the one to get. If you're on more
of a budget, but still want an Apple device, consider the iPhone 8, which is also on this list.

5. Samsung Galaxy Note 8: A great enterprise phone particularly when paired with the Dex
dock
Weight: 195g | Dimensions: 162.5 x 74.8 x 8.6 mm | OS: Android 7.1.1 Nougat | Screen size:
6.3-inch | Resolution: 1440 x 2630 | CPU: Exynos 8895 | RAM: 6GB | Storage:

Samsung has produced another excellent productivity-focused device with the Samsung
Galaxy Note 8, making it one of the best smartphones for business. Thanks to the large
Infinity Display you get loads of screen space to work on, without the body being too bulky to
carry around, and the S Pen stylus is something not a lot of other phones can offer and the
all-round speed is almost breathtaking at times. It's certainly worth looking at if you want a
brilliant business smartphone, especially now that its price has dropped.

6. Huawei Mate 20 Pro: The best Huawei phone to date

Release date: November 2018 | Weight: 189g | Dimensions: 157.8 x 72.3 x 8.6mm | OS:

Storage: 256GB | Battery: 4200mAh | Rear camera: 40MP + 20MP + 8MP | Front camera:
24MP $828.90 View at Amazon

- In-screen fingerprint scanner/ Great triple cameras/The UI needs refinement/High price

Huawei is a Chinese manufacturer which has been steadily releasing some excellent
smartphones that offer specs and features that rival its more established (and expensive)
Western rivals. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the firm's best phone yet, and it's one of our picks
for the best business smartphone you can buy in 2019. It comes with a huge 6.39-inch display
with a QHD resolution and HDR10 support, plus a large battery that lasted a day and a half in
our tests!

7. Google Pixel 3: A fantastic flagship that fits in the palm of your hand

4GB | Storage: 64/128GB | Battery: 2,915mAh | Rear camera: 12MP | Front camera: 8MP +
8MP $623.89 View at Amazon
- Google's great camera got better/Great one-hand-friendly size/Battery life not as good
as 3 XL/ Design a little bezel heavy

Google's flagship phones are brilliant performers, and the fact they come with stock Android
without any annoying bloatware or complex user interfaces means they are great choices for
business phones. The Google Pixel 3 is the latest entry and it comes with a decent 5.5-inch
full HD screen, a battery that's capable of about a day's worth of use and one of the best
cameras we've seen on a smartphone. If you want a pure-Android experience, the Pixel 3 is
one of the best business smartphones you can buy right now.
