Android

The Galaxy S23 Plus makes some welcome upgrades over its predecessor, including much better battery life, stronger camera software and a brighter display. With the new silicon, it’s a powerhouse.

The OnePlus 11 is a great phone with tons of power, better cameras than ever, awesome battery life and an insanely good starting price.

The Moto G Play (2023) suffers from poor performance, lackluster cameras, and an underwhelming display. Save up for something a bit better than this sub-$200 handset.

The RedMagic 8 Pro continues to strengthen the phone maker’s reputation for power and gaming features. But Red Magic really needs to sort out the software and photography experience with its phones.

The Nord N300 makes too many compromises

A small Android update that puts the focus on stability and privacy

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 delivers a more durable design than before, S Pen support and better multitasking features, but the battery life and price could be better.

If you need a midrange phone with a display and photo focus, the Honor 70 could fit the bill, if you don’t mind the lack of performance oomph.

The Nothing Phone (1) is decidedly mid-range, but that’s just fine

The Motorola Edge 2022 enters a very competitive market for midrange phones under $500. And while it does a few things well enough, Motorola’s phone can’t outshine less expensive devices.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is here and at $999 it’s the most affordable phone yet. You get a bigger cover display, enhanced durability and better performance. But the battery life is bad.

An utterly average Android device that shines at the right price.

The OnePlus 10T is a different kind of flagship from OnePlus. It delivers meaty performance, but not much more than that.

The Zenfone 9 may be small, but it packs a serious punch

The OnePlus Nord N20 is surprisingly powerful for a $282 phone. It also looks far nicer than any other budget device. But its cameras and software update policy will let you down.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 delivers better cameras, faster performance and a sleeker design for a lower price, but there's some trade-offs.

The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G could really use more CPU oomph, but this budget phone gives you a display and charging speeds worthy of far more expensive phones.

Battery life and the 90Hz display are great — not much else is

Like the Galaxy S21, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus gets a lot of things right. It’s a big-screen phone with a beautiful display and capable cameras.

The Galaxy S20 FE packs all the best features of the Galaxy S20 into a more affordable package, but there are some trade-offs if you get this phone.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is peak OnePlus. It’s a big, beautiful, and powerful phone that does just about everything right.

Android 12 is a metamorphosis that focuses on customization and privacy

MMGuardian has tons of features, but it's undermined by a terrible user interface.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is a beast of a phone with a 6.9-inch 120Hz display, a 108MP camera with super-long zoom and 5G standard, but its hard to justify the price tag.

The Microsoft Surface Duo feels truly innovative, but its myriad software inconsistencies, outdated hardware and subpar camera — all for an exorbitant price — betray its inspired design.

Though not exactly portable, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is a long-lasting Android tablet that's great for watching movies, playing games, and doing creative work.

The Pixel 4a is a nearly perfect Android phone for the perfect price, though a new phone has taken its place.

If you want 5G connectivity, the Google Pixel 4a 5G delivers in a more affordable package than the similar Pixel 5.

The Galaxy A32 5G is a great cheap 5G option, especially in the US. For $280, you get a big phone that has a lot to offer, despite shortcomings like a subpar display and middling performance.

The OnePlus Nord N200 5G is the best 5G value out there
