iPhone XS Release Date Tips

Check Out Other iPhone XS Alternatives

While you wait for the iPhone XS make sure you check out alternatives that fall outside of the Apple ecosystem. 

If you aren't married to the iPhone, take a long hard look at the other flagship devices from 2018. They should match up well with Apple's new products.

We recommend starting with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL from Google. They're two of our favorite phones from last year and two of the best iPhone alternatives on the market. 

You should also check out the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the new Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The Galaxy S9 is Samsung's new flagship. 

Other alternatives include the OnePlus 5T, the LG V30, LG's G7, and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. 

When we say check out we don't mean read about their specs online. You'll want to read reviews, sure, but make sure you go hands-on with some, most, or all of these before the iPhone XS is official.
