At a glance

Best overall

It's almost hard to fathom the turnaround OnePlus has had. From near irrelevance just a few years ago to our favorite pick two years in a row, the OnePlus 13 cements the crown of best Android phone by getting the first 5-star review we've ever given to a smartphone.

Central to that score is the supreme build quality and industry-first IP69 rating which makes it more durable than ever. You can put it in a dishwasher, wash it with your clothes in your washing machine, take it in a jet-laden hot tub, or even bask with it in a steaming sauna without worrying about the phone getting damaged. Water Touch 2.0 and a new generation ultrasonic fingerprint sensor even mean you can use the screen with wet fingers.

The display is, once again, one of the most eye-friendly AMOLED displays on the market and this time around doesn't sacrifice quality for eye protection. It was awarded the first-ever Display Mate A++ rating for display quality and features DC dimming options along with 2160Hz PWM to ensure your eyes don't hurt even after looking at it for a long time.

OnePlus monumentally improved the camera, as I laid out in my OnePlus 13 camera review, finally matching the quality of a Pixel or Galaxy phone in every situation. Low light performance is superb and often less noisy than the competition, and capturing crisp photos of pets or kids is finally possible thanks to a new dual exposure algorithm that gets it right even when they won't hold still.

Oxygen OS 15 powers the phone's software experience and is my favorite Android skin. It's got the best animations on any Android phone, a set of AI features that you'll love to use and a customizable UI that you can make your own. Plus, with four major OS updates and six years of software updates promised, you'll be able to use the OnePlus 13 for years to come.

The massive battery inside keeps things powered for well over a day despite being the fastest phone currently on the market, and ultra-fast charging tops it up in less than 30 minutes. You'll never think about battery life again with this phone, and it even comes with an ultra-fast charging brick in the box in most countries. All in all, it's an incredible value and the best phone you can buy today.

Best cheap phone

The CMF Phone 2 Pro addresses basically all of the shortcomings of the first generation model, including the addition of NFC, a third camera on the back, a better display with even more eye-friendly settings, and the inclusion of a new Essential Key on the side.

Our main review praises the incredible value of the CMF Phone 2 Pro, calling it the best budget phone of 2025 "without a shadow of a doubt." Nothing sells the CMF Phone 2 Pro, starting at ₹18,999/219/£249, and through the US Beta Program for $279. While it's annoying to have to go through a special "beta program" to get one, know that I've used it on T-Mobile's 5G network and didn't run into any issues. Just don't expect it to work with carriers like Verizon, though.

The new triple camera system on the back is a big upgrade from the CMF Phone 1 in most ways, offering up substantially better colors and dynamic range, along with crisp details and much better zoom performance. Our CMF Phone 2 Pro camera review compares the phone to the original, if you want to see specific examples.

The display has also seen a lofty improvement, with brighter output, all while retaining DC dimming options at high brightness and improving the PWM rate more than twofold at low brightness. It's an easy recommendation for anyone who is sensitive to PWM dimming.

Nothing also fancied up the design a bit this time around, but the back is technically no longer removable because of the improved IP54 water and dust resistance rating. Still, the company makes a notable number of accessories that'll keep your interest and add great functionality to the design, like adding a kickstand or a lanyard.

Best premium pick

Samsung reserved the best features for the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and the phone has a new design that makes it easier to hold and use. It is noticeably boxier than previous years, but the biggest difference is that it's a full 14g lighter than the S24 Ultra, and that is noticeable once you start using the device.

Samsung also managed to slot in a bigger 6.9-inch AMOLED panel, and it continues to be among the best around. Chinese brands like Honor do a much better job with PWM sensitivity — the Magic 7 Pro has a slew of features in this area — but barring that omission, Samsung hasn't put a foot wrong.

On that note, there isn't anything to point out with the hardware either. The S25 Ultra has one of the strongest packages around, and Samsung once again got a customized version of Qualcomm's latest silicon, which gives it a slender edge.

Although the cameras haven't changed this year, continual changes to tuning algorithms means the S25 Ultra is able to take better photos. Vivo's X200 Pro still has the outright lead when it comes to cameras, but that phone isn't available in anywhere as many global markets as Samsung's device.

Like previous years, one of the S25 Ultra's biggest flaws is its price. Thankfully, the best Galaxy S25 Ultra deals will go some way towards making a difference.

Best midrange phone

The OnePlus 12R was our mid-range pick of 2024, and now the OnePlus 13R usurps it as the current 2025 pick. It's not as cheap as it was last year in some regions but it's still the best value flagship phone you can find anywhere. OnePlus delivered a new design, upgraded battery size, and significantly improved triple camera system on the back.

Starting with performance, this phone is basically last year's top-end OnePlus 12 for half the price. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset is blazing fast and the upgraded UFS 4.0 storage inside is much faster than last year's OnePlus 12R. You also get double the storage and 50% more RAM than last year.

The hardware is well-built and very durable, even if it only sports an IP65 water and dust resistance rating. OnePlus's official cases offer great protection and include MagSafe compatibility, which is great since this year's phone is slightly thinner than the OnePlus 12R, making it more case-friendly. I'm not a fan of flat phones but a case helps that a lot.

OnePlus packed a denser battery inside with two-day battery life. The included charger will give it a full charge in about an hour, which is faster than most phones in the U.S. regardless of the price but slower than the OnePlus 13 since it uses a single-cell 6,000mAh battery.

The triple camera array on the back will generally impress you as it sports dual 50MP cameras as well as an 8MP telephoto camera for superb portrait photos. OnePlus also continues to impress with its display technology, packing an LTPO 4.1 120Hz AMOLED in with some great eye-friendly features. The Pixel 8a might have a slightly better camera but it has a much worse display since it uses slow 240Hz PWM dimming, while OnePlus offers proper DC dimming options plus 2160Hz PWM dimming at low brightness.

Best small phone

The Galaxy S25 is virtually indistinguishable to its predecessor, with Samsung not making many changes to the device. Outside of the new Qualcomm hardware, you don't actually get anything new — it's using the same cameras as the Galaxy S22.

That said, it is marginally smaller and thinner than the S24, and somehow even lighter. The tweaks to the design make the S25 the best small phone around, and you still get a usable 6.2-inch AMOLED panel with good brightness levels.

The cameras are annoyingly unchanged, but they still take great photos — if not the same level as the S25 Ultra or other high-end phones. Ultimately, Samsung doesn't see any need to change the cameras on its devices; they will continue to sell just as well with older hardware, so it isn't incentivized to innovate.

On that subject, the S25 still has a 4000mAh battery, and charging is once again limited to 25W. It's getting to the point where the charging tech is a real limitation on the device, and Samsung needs to address it.

Even though the S25 is nearly identical to last year, subtle changes to the design make a difference in usability, and you're still getting the same great seven-year software guarantee.

Best for parents

Google makes some pretty good phones, but the best part of owning a Pixel is the camera. Taking pictures of your kids or pets is a joy with Google's excellent camera software, which uses AI smarts to understand what it's taking a picture of, giving you better results in the end. This was evident when we tested the Pixel 8 Pro's cameras last year, and the Pixel 9 Pro XL takes things to a whole new level.

Features like Best Take ensure that everyone in the shot looks their best by swapping out your face with the best version when you take a group of shots. Add Me ensures that the whole family can get in the photo even if one parent or sibling has to be the one to take the first image. Plus, few phones capture pets or kids in motion like a Pixel.

Beyond that, you're going to love other camera features like Audio Magic Eraser and Magic Editor, which help clean up audio and background objects, alike. Plus great new features like Night Sight Video and Zoom Enhance make taking photos and videos a breeze.

Google's Tensor G4 processor isn't the fastest in town, but it's good enough for most tasks. The phone also comes with a 7-year software update promise, meaning your Pixel 9 Pro XL will see major Android updates until 2031. That's a huge improvement over previous years and longer than most any Android phones.

The design of the Pixel 9 Pro XL is unlike any of Google's earlier efforts, and the phone looks a lot like an iPhone now. The build quality is better, and the camera island at the back is still distinctive, but it misses out on some of that unique Pixel charm.

Google also still has a lot of work to do on its displays. While the company boasts some of the best technical scores for display quality, they use some nasty tricks to achieve these metrics. Primarily, that includes using slow 240Hz PWM dimming which can lead to headaches, eye fatigue, and other problems. Meanwhile, phones like the OnePlus 13 only resort to PWM dimming at low brightness and, even then, use a much better 2160Hz frequency, instead.

Best foldable phone

This year, Motorola is changing things up by offering a third Razr model instead of just two. It's the first Ultra-branded Razr model in the U.S. and it changes things up in a big way with a top-end flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a triple 50MP camera system, and more style options than ever. It's also more expensive than any Razr before it, but the best Motorola Razr 2025 deals at least help soften the blow a bit.

In an era where Samsung still hasn't fixed the limited cover screen of the Z Flip series, and is rumored to be giving the Z Flip 7's processor a downgrade, the Razr Ultra (2025) shines supreme. It's edge-to-edge cover screen is a delight to use full apps on, giving you the ability to quickly respond to messages or navigate without flipping open the phone.

It also means this is the most pocketable type of phone you can find today. It's got the same amazing form factor that made the Razr Plus (2024) so great, plus a bevy of new style options like wood and Alcantara that make the phone a sensory delight.

When you're ready for a bigger display, just flip the phone open to reveal the incredible 7.0-inch pOLED display that features Motorola's trademark vision-friendly flicker-free technology, something that's substantially more eye-friendly than Samsung's use of slow 240Hz PWM dimming on its Z Flip series.

Of course, what good is a conversation about flip phones if you don't bring up the cameras? Flip phones are great for group photos and selfies because they can stand on their own, and fun tricks like camcorder mode and the 50MP ultrawide sensor ensure you get a great capture no matter what you're doing.

And I can't forget Motorola's recently refreshed Hello UX, which is based on Android 15 and has the very best features you'll find on any flip phone, including a host of new Moto AI features that you're going to have a great time playing around with.

Best premium foldable

While the Oppo Find N5 is technically the best foldable phone ever made, that phone doesn't have the best availability internationally. Thankfully, the OnePlus Open is available everywhere else and it uses the same software as the Oppo Find N5, meaning you won't feel left out just because the OnePlus Open isn't the newest hardware on the block.

The best way to think about the device is as a phone and tablet in one. When the OnePlus Open is closed, you're treated to a 6.31-inch 120Hz AMOLED display that you can use for anything you'd like — checking email, scrolling through Twitter, watching YouTube videos, you name it. OnePlus made its outer display wider than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold line and it makes everyday use so much nicer. Essentially, it feels like a "normal" phone when it's closed.

Then, when you need a tablet-sized screen, you just open up the OnePlus Open to reveal a gorgeous 7.82-inch AMOLED panel with 120Hz LTPO 3.0 tech. It's a lot like having an iPad Mini that you can fold up and take with you wherever you want, and if you ask us, that's pretty amazing. It's also a lot more eye-friendly than any of Samsung's foldable phones as it uses a higher PWM rate and several eye-friendly enhancements, despite being a Samsung-made display.

And, unlike Samsung's foldables, the display crease on the OnePlus Open is barely noticeable. Plus, OnePlus equips its phone with better battery life and faster charging. That means you can go for much longer on a single charge and take a lot less time to top it up when it needs some juice.

OnePlus' OxygenOS is super customized for the Open, as well. There's a taskbar on the bottom of the larger display, making it operate more like a tablet or laptop than a phone, and great multitasking features because of it. You can tap and drag any icon in the taskbar to perform split screen, or simply tapping an icon on the bar to open any app installed on your smartphone within one tap. Now that's multitasking at its best.

Plus, you can pick up the Oppo Pen if you'd prefer to use a stylus. It's a little on the expensive side and the Pen isn't available on Amazon, but it's not too hard to find if you look around the web. And let's not forget the cutting-edge camera system which uses a massive sensor to achieve photo quality unlike any other foldable. It's so good, OnePlus used it in the OnePlus 12, as well.

Best gaming phone

Nubia RedMagic phones were already our favorite gaming phones, and the RedMagic 10 Pro ups the game in substantial ways. First off, the actively-cooled Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor inside is an absolute beast, and the ICE-X "liquid metal" cooling system inside keeps the phone cool even during long gaming sessions thanks to a massive heat sink and an actual fan.

While we noted that the ASUS ROG Phone 9 Pro eeks out slightly better performance, that phone isn't available in as many places as the RedMagic 10 Pro. Plus, the RedMagic 10 Pro is quite a bit cheaper while offering almost the same specs.

That bright and liquid-smooth 144Hz OLED display is also quite eye-friendly with DC dimming at high brightness and 2592Hz PWM Dimming at low brightness. RedMagic bumped the battery size up even further, making it feel like a giant battery attached to a gaming phone. Plus, fast charging speeds ensure that you'll be powered up in no time even if you forget to plug it in.

Amazingly enough, it's got an actual headphone jack, which means you can use your favorite pair of lag-free wired headphones while gaming. The pair of 50MP rear cameras are better than the previous generation even if they're not quite top of the class, which is always nice to have.

Even under-display selfie camera got a huge upgrade this time around, with quality that actually looks good, unlike all previous under-display cameras we've tested. That ensures your entire screen is used for glorious gaming and no punch hole nonsense gets in the way of the UI.

Other products we tested

The picks above may be the best Android phones that money can buy today, but the list isn't set in stone. There are plenty of other devices that could have easily made the list if conditions were slightly different, and some that may earn a spot in the coming months. As we all know, some tech may be impressive straight out of the box and begin to falter with long-term use.

There are other devices that we may not have had the opportunity to perform comprehensive testing on just yet, while other models may simply lack the broad appeal that typically earns products a spot on this list.

Below you'll find a list of phones that I feel comfortable recommending; even if they aren't necessarily the best Android phones released this year, they still deserve a look if the picks above don't cut it for you.

How to choose

What is the best Android phone?

Why you can trust Android Central Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

There are many contenders for the best Android phones, but I think the OnePlus 13 is the best option for most people. OnePlus has rebuilt Oxygen OS into something special and includes six years of promised updates to match. Excellent Hasselblad cameras on the back pair nicely with epic battery life, charging speed, and performance. Plus, the eye-friendly display is a joy to look at day or night.

If you enjoy features on top of features, it's hard to beat a Samsung phone. The Galaxy S25 Ultra came out recently, and it's the go-to choice if you need a phone with one of the best hardware packages around. Plus, the One UI 7 software is filled to the brim with useful extras, and you get seven years of promised software updates.

Folks looking for a compact phone with few or no compromises have a surprising amount of choices, which is a breath of fresh air compared to previous years. The Galaxy S25 and Pixel 8a are two of the best smaller phones you can get in the U.S., and folks who live outside of the U.S. and want a small phone would be remiss if they ignored the older Asus Zenfone series.

Plus, now with Nothing making great budget-minded phones, you can get away with spending as little as $280 on a new unlocked CMF Phone 1 and still feel like you got something modern with excellent cameras, performance, and a bright OLED display.

How do I pick the best Android phone?

Android phones have never been better than they are right now. So regardless of whether you can afford a flagship device or one of the best cheap Android phones, you can go out and buy a phone that you'll be thoroughly happy with. Out of every single phone on the market, however, I have to give our top recommendation for the best Android phone to the OnePlus 13.

OnePlus's latest flagship has all the essentials you want, including a brilliant 120Hz AMOLED screen, powerful cameras that take great photos in any lighting, fast charging, reliable internal hardware that powers through even the most intense gaming sessions, and clean software with six years of guaranteed Android OS updates.

What size screen should I get for my Android phone?

When buying a new Android phone, you should consider many different things, and it all starts with the display. This is the component you interact with more than anything else, so you must get one that you'll enjoy using. Things like the resolution and refresh rate of a screen are worth talking about, but more so is the size.

Smartphones come in different shapes and sizes, and the biggest determining factor for that is the display. A 6.8-inch screen results in a much larger phone than one with a 5.8-inch one, and because of that, you need to know how big or small you're willing to go.

Take the Galaxy S25 Ultra, for example. Of the traditional smartphones on this list — that means a phone that doesn't fold in half — the S25 Ultra has the largest display and, therefore, is a phenomenal canvas for watching movies, playing games, and browsing the web.

Any content consumption looks better on a larger display because the more room you have, the bigger and easier it is to see your media. The downside, however, is that phones like the S25 Ultra can be somewhat unwieldy. Especially if you're someone with smaller hands, managing a phone like that can be a pain — sometimes literally!

A phone like the OnePlus Open solves this problem a bit by giving you an even larger display that can fold in half. It's even got a world-class camera system that blew us away.

If you'd rather have a smaller-sized phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra are phenomenal choices depending on what form factor you want. These are substantially easier to manage and can be used with one hand, but you have less room for your movies and games on the flip side. It also means you can fit less content on the screen at one time, and if you're someone who likes to increase your font size, things are easier to read, which could result in you having to do a lot of scrolling.

And, of course, there are plenty of phones that fall somewhere in the middle between these two extremes. If you're really concerned about whether or not a phone will be too big or small, your best bet is to honestly go hands-on with it yourself at your local carrier store or Best Buy before making your purchase.

Are software updates on my phone important?

It's easy to compare displays, processors, and cameras, but something that's just as important to talk about is software updates. Android is constantly evolving and getting better, and while it's nice to get updates that keep your phone feeling fresh and new, security updates are far more important than feature updates.

Samsung and Google offer seven years of software updates for their phones — the most of any smartphone company today. OnePlus, OPPO, Xiaomi, and Vivo come in second place with four Android OS updates and two extra years of security updates for their flagship phones, totaling six years of support.

But the number of years supported doesn't paint the whole picture. Companies like OnePlus and Motorola have historically delivered bi-monthly security updates — so you'll get six security updates per year — while Samsung and Google often update every month. This isn't normally a big deal but could make a difference if you regularly use public hotspots or hotel Wi-Fi.

Google also always updates its Pixel phones to the latest version of Android first, something that makes a lot of sense considering Google makes Android. The downside to this is that the Pixel can sometimes be a little too cutting-edge and has been known to introduce bugs into the experience from time to time.

Generally, the more you spend on a phone, the more often (and longer) it'll receive software updates. Most $200-300 Android phones will only receive one or two major software updates, while $1,000 phones will see five to seven years of updates.

So, how important is it that your phone gets software updates? That ultimately depends on how much you care about new Android features and how long you plan to use your phone. Google releases a new version of Android every year, and while these updates don't tend to be that drastic from year to year, they give your phone important features and security settings that help keep it running in tip-top shape for a long time.

If you keep your phone for years at a time — often five or more years — these updates will ensure that you can continue to use new apps. Over time, Google discontinues support for older versions of Android because it becomes too much of a problem for developers to test compatibility with older phones as well as newer ones.

How do I choose a smartphone camera?

Over the last couple of years, there's been a trend with certain phone companies to throw as many cameras onto their devices as possible. As it's become more common for phones to ship with two, three, or even four cameras, there's something of an expectation that phones have to have multiple camera sensors to be any good.

Spoiler alert — this isn't true.

Let's look at the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It has a 200MP primary camera, yet the Google Pixel 9 Pro with its 50MP main sensor is known for taking better photos. The biggest difference lies in the software — Google's is best for capturing objects in motion like pets and kids — and the secondary lenses that add more abilities to a phone's camera.

And while having those extra camera sensors can be a lot of fun, it's only worthwhile if they're high-quality. Far too often, I see companies throw in a lot of extra cameras on their phones only to have these secondary lenses not be very good. But, of course, the primary camera sensor is always the most important, so that's the one you want to pay attention to the most.

There are so many other factors that come into play with phone cameras, so don't let the megapixel count be your only factor for judging them when you're out shopping. Read reviews, look at camera samples, and you'll have a much better understanding of what kind of camera you're dealing with.

What size should my phone's battery be?

Battery life isn't the most fun thing to talk about with smartphones, but ultimately, it's one of the most essential components. Your phone can have the best display and processor around, but if it's constantly dying throughout the day, what's the point?

There are many different battery capacities for all of the phones on this list, and if you don't regularly keep up with them, it can be challenging to know what a good size is and what isn't. So, here's a general rule of thumb. If you're buying an Android phone, the ideal capacity is 5,000mAh or larger. As phones move toward larger displays with faster refresh rates, more battery is needed to keep them powered throughout the day.

Of course, this can vary a bit depending on the type of phone you're buying. Phones with smaller screen sizes and lower display refresh rates can still get through a full day of use without a hitch because they generally draw less power than phones with more impressive specs. The best Android phones often have extremely fast charging speeds, and phones like the OnePlus 13 will get an entire day's worth of battery life with just a 20-minute charge.

These are factors you'll need to consider when shopping for your phone, but generally, more mAh means more battery life.

What other features should I look for in a smartphone?

Last but certainly not least, there are a few smaller features and specs that can be easy to overlook when doing your shopping — a prime example being NFC. NFC stands for Near Field Communication, and it's the chip in most phones that allows you to pay with your smartphone with Google Pay at grocery stores, restaurants, etc. All of the phones on this list support NFC, but many cheaper phones often lack the feature. You may not care about Google Pay, but if you do, it's worth double-checking that the phone you want to buy does have NFC.

Another spec to check for is an IP rating. This is a seal of protection many phones have, and it ensures they're protected from a certain amount of dust and water. So if you get caught outside in the rain or take your phone to the beach, a higher IP rating ensures that the phone should survive just fine. IP69 is the highest dust and water resistance rating — only the OnePlus 13 and Honor Magic 7 Pro sport this — while cheaper phones might have something like IP53 which means some water and dust but not full submersion.

Some phones lack this IP rating yet boast water resistance or have a coating that gives them some protection. Those devices are also probably fine to get splashed with water here and there, but you don't have that same guaranteed protection. The best-case scenario is to avoid getting your phone wet whenever possible, but if you happen to be around the water a lot, it's probably worth getting something with that IP68 protection.

I should also address a trend going through the smartphone space for a few years now — the death of the headphone jack. The vast majority of new phones coming out these days no longer have the port, but few holdouts continue to offer it. It's certainly nice to have if you're someone who primarily uses wired headphones or earbuds, but if you've moved on to the wireless bandwagon, it's not something you need to be all that concerned with.

I know that's a lot to take in, but once you understand the kind of phone you're looking for and the budget you have to work with, I hope this guide makes you feel better equipped to make the right decision. There are so many good phones out there, and I wouldn't recommend one on this list if I didn't think you'd be happy with it. Happy shopping, and enjoy your new phone!

How we test

Testing phones at Android Central involves much more than simply booting up a device to ensure it works. We can use phones with a consumer mindset because we are consumers, in addition to Android enthusiasts and product testers. Unlike some sites that rely solely on benchmark programs and lab tests to verify performance, we use smartphones in real-life scenarios to better understand how a device will perform during normal, day-to-day use.

This involves personally hitting the streets to see how a phone's camera holds up during the day and night, and comparing pictures from two devices side by side to see how they differ. Our testing involves running multiple performance-heavy apps simultaneously to see if a phone will overheat or swiftly lose battery life. It involves booting up graphics-intensive games at the highest settings to see if the images will lag or stutter, and it means draining the battery of a phone to zero to test the speed at which it will recharge.

This barely scratches the surface of every testing metric we apply to each new device, so check out our guide to how Android Central tests and reviews phones to learn more.
