3. LG G3
The LG G3 has been called the best smartphone of the year, but it has been surpassed by other ever since its launch. I like to include the LG G3 so high on the best 5 Android smartphones for Christmas list because of its display, minimal skin over Android and because I love the LG G3 design and performance. The wonderful QHD display on this behemoth is its main selling point, but it doesn’t fall short on performance and bang for buck either.
