What's your pick for best smartphone of 2016? For the first time (well, that I can remember), we're asking you to cast your vote for the phone you think stole the show this year. I've assembled a list of 15 devices that I think stood out in one way or another in 2016, so please note that the list does not purport to be exhaustive - this is, gently, curated.

With that in mind, consider your vote carefully. The tallying will continue through December 16th at 11:59PM PST, at which point the poll will close. We will announce the winner in a separate post the following week, declaring that phone the recipient of the Android Police Readers' Choice Award for Best Smartphone of 2016.

(In regard to the Note7: The Galaxy Note7 will not qualify for consideration in any of Android Police's 2016 awards posts. While we understand the phone did launch and was generally well-received, it has been recalled worldwide and will never go back on sale. We do not believe it appropriate or useful to endorse a product not only that no one can buy, but that is potentially hazardous.)
