Though it would be nice if the phone were waterproof, too, it’s a relief to know it probably won’t break if we drop it. With the size of phones these days, many people seem to drop them daily. Thanks to a reduced bezel, the V20 is very comfortable to hold, especially for a device with a massive 5.7-inch screen, and a bonus extra screen up top for notifications. The dual-function power button and fingerprint sensor on the back is in a comfortable position, and the volume rocker is on the left side. It will come in silver, pink, and titan, which is more of a champagne color. Sadly…

2. Best smartphone for businesses, startups and entrepreneurs: not the iPhone What does matter is that if it isn t an iPhone accessory, or iPhone software, it won t work on your iPhone.

AT&T has been playing second fiddle to Verizon for years, always one step behind its biggest rival. It doesn’t quite have the best network coverage, for example, but it easily nabs second place.
