The ReviewGist pick for the best cellphone with GPS is the Samsung Galaxy S7 and its 'edgier' cousin, the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. The Galaxy S7 comes with not only the assisted GPS (A-GPS) for faster satellite lock-in but can also use satellites from both the Russian GLONASS and the Chinese BDS for additional accuracy.
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigation system based on satellite communication. It is widely available and free for commercial and individual use. Most present-day smartphones have a GPS receiver which helps in tracking the phone, accessing location based services and most importantly gives turn-by-turn directions for easy navigation.
Another feature seen in some of the best GPS enabled smartphones is the A-GPS i.e. Assisted GPS. This system uses network resources to locate and utilize the satellites faster as well as better in poor signal conditions. Thus it decreases the startup response time.
The best cellphones with GPS for 2018 also come with what is known as GLONASS. GLONASS is a Russian equivalent of the GPS satellite network and phones supporting it are able to access additional satellites which are part of the GLONASS network. This increases accuracy as well as start-up times for locking in.
