This holiday season Android Authority conducted its third annual review of the latest Android smartphones to hit the market. Managing Editor Nirave Gondhia explains which devices made the cut.
The Huawei Mate 10 Pro was crowned Android Authority's smartphone winner of 2017. "We found that it's not a phone that is best in one category, it's a phone that is best overall," said Gondhia.
Just a couple points behind the Huawei device was Samsung's Galaxy Note 8. While the two devices are in similar price categories, Gondhia says the Huawei Mate 10 Pro was stronger across the board of tests conducted. The company's pick for "best bang for your buck" is the One Plus 5T. Google Pixel XL 2 earned the people's choice award for best camera.

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
