Apple iPhone 6S Plus
Featuring a slim and solid design, one of the best phone cameras around and 3D Touch (which lets you interact with its screen in novel ways), the 6S Plus is Apple's latest big-screen offering that will surely please your dad.
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge
If your dad's the type to want the latest and greatest, the Galaxy S7 Edge is on the bleeding edge (no pun intended) of handset technology. It has a brilliant 5.5-inch display, a 3,600mAh battery that lasts a crazy-long time and a nimble 12-megapixel camera. Its also has a few nifty tools that take advantage of its curved edges.
HTC 10
Your dad's a handsome chap -- so why not get a phone as handsome as he is? The HTC 10 has stunner looks, but it's also powerful. It has booming loud dual-speakers, a 12-megapixel camera and a front-facing camera with optical image stabilization.
LG G5
With high-end specs like two rear cameras (a 16-megapixel and a wide-angle 8-megapixel) and a Snapdragon 820 processor, the G5 can also grab your dad's fancy with its modular design. That means he can swap out the handset's bottom bezel for an audio DAC or a camera grip if need be.
Google Nexus 6P
For the dad who's smart about his money, the Nexus 6P is a top-tier handset that is also big on value. Featuring pure Android 6.0 Marshmallow, a 5.7-inch display and a 12.3-megapixel camera, the device is one of the most affordable flagships around.
Motorola Droid Turbo 2
With long battery life, a super-tough 5.4-inch display and a four-year warranty just in case you break that screen, the Droid Turbo 2 has the fortitude to keep up with your father.
