We can expect Snapdragon 855 SoC-based phones to release early this year, and the powerful SoC may shuffle this list in the coming months. The OnePlus flagship are all expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 855 processor, with the last confirmed to do so. For now, the Kirin 980 SoC and the Snapdragon 845 seem to enjoy most number of worthy mentions for the top 10 list of December 2018.
