The Best Display Smartphones With The Best Performance


This is the international top 10 list. Click here to check out the US version.

Who wouldn't feel more comfortable investing their money on an unbreakable smartphone?

Well, unfortunately, if that even exists, it's not on a typical smartphone store yet. So until then, the best you can do is go after a device with the best chemically strengthened glass available, and that means one thing only: Gorilla Glass Victus.

So if you're looking for a future-proof speedy smartphone that can withstand day-to-day mishandling without breaking or even scratching, this is the place to start.

Just in case you haven't noticed yet, there's also a top 10 list for your budget.

This list prioritizes the best-protected glass, but if you value performance above all, check out the links below.

Tips: Prices marked with ! are from renewed/refurbished/carrier-locked phones. You can also find links to Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Walmart (and updated prices) in any comparison article.
