Smartphones

There's stepped up competition for the best bargain phone, thanks to the iPhone SE and Galaxy A53. But the Google Pixel 6a tops both, thanks to its great photo features and a new Tensor chipset.

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.

Oppo's Find N2 Flip is a small foldable with fewer compromises, using a larger outer display and other enhanced specs to increase the usefulness of its flexible design.

The Pixel 7 Pro is the ideal follow-up to the Pixel 6 Pro. This year, the design is refined, the cameras are better, and video gets a major boost. This is Google’s best effort yet.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 delivers a better multitasking experience and improved cameras in a (slightly) sleeker design.

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 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 Nord N300 makes too many compromises

Sony's cheapest phone fulfills a lot of niche needs, but the Xperia 10 IV is missing the overall quality to beat the best in its price bracket.

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.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra delivers a built-in S Pen, brighter display and lots of camera upgrades in a sleek design.

The Galaxy S22 Plus takes everything we loved about the Galaxy S21 Plus and refines it to a new level. From the design to the beautiful display, the Galaxy S22 Plus is a very good Android phone.

The Google Pixel 5a packs a serious punch, even after Google has unveiled its new Pixel 6 handsets. This is the phone to get if you want the best photography experience under $500.

The 6.1-inch Galaxy S10 is a powerful and compact smartphone with a beautiful display.

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 Samsung Galaxy S10e packs great performance and a vivid display into a compact design for an affordable price

The Samsung Galaxy S20 is a powerful flagship phone with a smooth 120Hz display, 5G and advanced cameras in a compact design.

While pricey, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 delivers nearly everything you could want in a foldable phone.

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.

Unless you're in the U.S., Xiaomi may have a Pixel 7 Pro challenger on its hands with the Xiaomi 12T Pro, which offers some of the fastest charging and highest megapixel counts we've seen.

The iPhone 13 Pro more than lives up to its name

While pricey, the DxO gives you DSLR-quality photos on your iPhone without the bulk.

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

The OnePlus 10 Pro is sleek, powerful, and equipped with the best cameras OnePlus has ever made. And the price makes all of this even sweeter.

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 Find N easily goes head-to-head with Samsung’s foldable

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