I might be back on the iPhone and perfectly happy, but the Note 10+ was an absolute boss, imo. The only thing lacking was consistency of the camera.
Best overall: either the iPhone Pro Max or the Note 10 +. I don’t think any other phones are close.
Best value: Oneplus 7t. Flagship device at a bargain price.

I owned 2 Android smartphones in 2019... the LG Stylo 3 and Samsung Galaxy A20.
Best: A20 (my current phone)
I'm on BoostMobile. The service is great, the price for the service and phones even better. The A20 cost $160 total cost out of pocket with no strings attached (other than being locked into BoostMobile).
The phone looks and feels like a flagship phone. Super AMOLED display, rounded corners (gimmick IMO), teardrop notch (another gimmick), best camera on a non-iPhone phone I've owned. Fast and responsive, great battery life. MicroSD card.

I own a Note 10+ so my choice is obvious.
But I can see why people would choose other phones as their favorite.
Most improved flagship is the iphone 11max imo, though obviously not an android.

Yep and not to turn this into an iPhone discussion, but as great as some of the Android phones were this year, the iPhone 11 Pro just killed it.
For me it's the Note 10+. Beside 90 Hz Display it checks all boxes and feels like the future is in my hand.
P.S. Can't wait for the S11+ with 120 Hz Display and a even better camera.

So far it looks like the Note 10+ is the winner with OnePlus 7 Pro behind it 
For me it's the Pixel 3a XL, cause of low price and what you get for that.
But I might get a Note 10+ to try out.
Same time I am very happy with my iPhone 11 Pro.

In terms of phones I have used:
Huawei P30 Pro
- Camera versatility and quality were on point
- Battery Life and Supercharging were amazing
- Got Android 10 quickly despite all the drama
I am also a huge fan of the ASUS ROG Phone II, but I have not used it, looks great on paper though.

None. Didn't buy a 2019 edition phone this year
Even if the 3a or 3 XL is this year, I'd pick my pixel 2 XL it's been pretty solid for me compared to the other problematic ones I've had. 🙂

Galaxy S10 or Note 10. Was never a fan of Samsung but had never tried it. Love my S10 currently.
Note 10 plus, best phone of the year regardless of operating system imo.
I like the Google Pixel 4XL a lot, but if I were going to move away from iPhone then I would probably have to go with the Note 10+.
Note 9 was my last note series. The curved edges contradict it's use with the S Pen.
I would probably get the Note 10+, but i have always preferred iPhones...
Agreed. Whilst iOS and the Apple ecosystem works better for me. I can easily admit that the note 10+ is the best phone of the year.
It's a gorgeous phone ... but yeah ... I just couldn't ditch the ecosystem. Ended up returning it, but it was a pleasant experience.
