Our resident tech expert Tamara Clarke has brought out a countdown of the best smartphone features she’s seen in 2017. Here are the top five. Do you agree?
#5 Multi-Window – Samsung Note 8

#4 360 Camera – Moto Z2

#3 Animoji – Apple iPhone X

#2 Face recognition – Apple and Samsung
Both Apple and Samsung ushered in a new way to secure your smartphone using biometrics. The iPhone X uses Face ID, technology that unlocks the phone by using infrared and visible light scans to uniquely identify your face. Face recognition is just one of the security features Samsung offers on the Note 8. You can also unlock the phone with your fingerprint or use iris scanning. You will have to choose between iris scanning or facial recognition, though, because the Note 8 can’t support using both methods at the same time. We’ve reached a new frontier, where simply looking at your device can unlock it and that’s why facial recognition is near the top of this list.
#1 Bothie – Nokia 8
