The 2016 Flagship Phones like the Apple iPhone 7 Plus and the Google Pixel XL may sport tough-to-beat specs but the high price reportedly gave away its sales to cheaper Chinese-manufactured handsets. Apparently, the market this year opted out of the more expensive in exchange for more practical smartphones. In the meantime, the Top 10 trending Chart reportedly shifted a bit in Week 49 with a newcomer.
