But for me, there's no such thing as the perfect smartphone — at least not the ones available off-the-shelf today. For example, my favorite phone is the Google Pixel, but I wish it had the design and camera of the Galaxy S8, as well Apple's iOS App Store for the iPhone 7.  If I could build my own dream phone, I'd pick 14 different parts from seven different smartphones to create the ultimate smartphone. Check out what parts my dream Franken-phone would use:   SEE ALSO: The Galaxy S8 can do 8 things the new OnePlus 5 can't, but I'd still get the OnePlus 5 The Xiaomi Mi Mix's front design. Save for the bottom border, the Xiaomi Mi Mix arguably has thinner borders around its display than the Galaxy S8, making for a gorgeous all-display smartphone. Unfortunately, the Mi Mix isn't available to buy in the US, but that doesn't matter because my custom phone is totally fictitious! The iPhone 7's glossy black back. The Galaxy S8's glass back is nice, but the iPhone 7's glossy "Jet Black" color option is the king of premium looks and feel.  The Sony Xperia XZ Premium's 4K screen. I'd be perfectly happy with a 1080p screen, like you'd find on the iPhone 7 Plus or OnePlus 5. But if I'm building my dream phone, I might as well give it the highest resolution on any smartphone at the moment: The 4K display from Sony's Xperia XZ Premium.  See the rest of the story at Business Insider   Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to:   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
