We're gonna start with three of our favorite and the least-favorite phones of the year.

We're gonna start with the year 2016, which we're happy to call the "Year of Future Bias." We're already getting a lot of great buzz from other tech journalists, like Ars Technica's Steve Zavala and The Verge's Jon St. Clair. We're also going to be talking about some of the best phones of the year, such as our favorite iPhone 1 and iPhone 2, which are probably the most talked about of the year.

As for the list of the Top 10 Best Innovations of 2017, we're already pretty sure what we're talking about here.

Now we only have to say one thing: What is it about the future that makes this year so special?

1. Android, the next big thing

In the years to come, Android will be the new smartphone. In 2017, Google will be trying to make something new, something new that is entirely new for the smartphone industry. From the very beginning, Android has been a huge success this year, with more than 80% of the devices sold in 2016 being Android smartphones. With Android being the new flagship smartphone, it is a no-brainer to make a new version of Android in 2017.

But we've got some bad news for you.

You've gotta admit, Android is pretty bad.

In fact, Android has been worse than many of our other phones of the year, with a big hit to the market in just the first few months of 2017. The average Android device sold in the first quarter was only about $7—a pretty penny in a country where Android is much more common than Apple phones. That's right: Android is the second-worst smartphone in the world according to the Android Market Research Institute.

When you look at the average Android price in the U.S., the average Android phone sold in 2017 was $9.

That's a lot less than expected, but it's still not cheap. In fact, over 30% of the devices sold in the U.S. in 2016 were a little higher than the average price of any other smartphone. It's no wonder that we're seeing this year's Android smartphones get so bad at getting better.

But this year, it's even worse. The average price on the average, Android-based smartphone in the U.S. in Q1, 2017 was $7.

This is an interesting statistic, because it's one of
