Best phones for school: Pixel 2, iPhone X, Galaxy Note 8 and more – CNET

LG G7 ThinQ

If your grad follows the beat of his or her own drum, consider the G7 ThinQ.

It sort of flies under the radar as far as flagships go, but it packs all the power and punch as much as the next guy — all at a lower cost depending on the carrier. The phone also features a secondary wide-angle camera lens, a water resistant design and a headphone jack.
