You may already have a good idea of which you want to be your next smartphone. But there are more concrete options available than ever, the decision is not as cut and dry as it did. Although the decision is slightly easier if you know that you want an iPhone, there is a significant change between these new models that you may have to think about it longer. If you are an Android person, you have more options to choose – including foldable – and more questions to answer before spending no money.
In the enzygate, we regularly review the phone and experience dozens in many years. Whether your eyes are on one of our existing top lunches, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 phones, a cheap phone or any other device, we are present to help you decide what is the best phone to buy this year.
Android or iOS?
When you are looking for the best smartphone, it becomes clear that every OS has its own profession and favorable. Apple’s narrow ecosystem makes it easier to share data between iPhones, iPads and Max, or without interruption hand -off phone calls or music from one device to another. At the same time, you are effectively turned off, as services like Apple messages are not available on other platforms.
As far as Android is concerned, there is a very wide range of handsets by companies like Google, Samsung, Sony and more. However, Android phone software does not enjoy such a length of support and often has less value to trade. In short, there is no wrong answer. However, you would like to consider how your phone would fit with the rest of your devices. So unless you are really tight with an OS and are not ready to learn the other, maybe changing the iPhone to Android phone (or vice versa) may not have much meaning – especially if everyone in your home is using the same platform.
Camera
Since your cellphone often draws double duty as your basic camera, to find out what kind of photo tools you want is key. Nowadays, practically every mobile phone can take an excellent picture in bright light. But if you want a long optical zoom, you probably have to upgrade to the more expensive device.

Mid -distance phones often contain only two rear cameras (a primary wide angle lens and a secondary ultra -wide camera) and sometimes struggle in low light conditions. Each phone maker also has different features that can better fit your style, Apple has offered four different colors on the latest iPhones, while Google’s Pixel comes with 9 Pro clean tools such as dedicated long exposure and action paw methods.
Will you get MMVO 5G or WiFi 7?
The good news is that in 2025, most phones have a minimum Wi -Fi 6 or Wi -Fi 6E and support some 5G contact. However, if you want the fastest wireless speed, this will cost you a little extra. For example, on some networks, MMVO offers 5G gigabite download speed, low delays and better bandwidth. But the MMVO 5G also needs more sophisticated (and price) modem, which means its support often disappears on less expensive devices.
On the bright side, the MMVO is not widely available like the other version of the 5G5G, so it depends on where you live and what network you are on, if you buy a phone that doesn’t support it, you can’t get more and more. This is the same situation for Wi -Fi -7, which is available on some high -end handsets like the Galaxy S25, but difficult to find on cheap devices. You also need to have a synchronized router for Wi -Fi 7, so unless you know that you need it or you have to keep in mind a particular use issue, MMVO should not be a Dell breaker when looking for a new phone to find a new phone.
Other features to consider
Because not everyone agrees what the best phone makes, you should think about any other sunglasses that can be extra important to you. Mobile gamers will almost definitely appreciate the 120Hz refresh rate that you get on the phone like the Samsung Galaxy S25 or Apple iPhone 16 Pro. As an alternative, if the longer battery life is important, you will probably want to go with a large iPhone or an Android phone with a battery with a size between 4,000 to 5000 mm. Meanwhile, if you find yourself a lot of equipment, it may be great to have a phone that supports reverse wireless charging, which allows the company’s galaxy watches to recharge on the Samsung phone.
Other smartphones we have experienced
Samsung Galaxy S. 25 Ultra
Like your predecessor, the S25 ultra is an incredibly versatile phone. It is one of the few handsets that comes with a beautiful 6.9 -inch emulated display, titanium frame and 5x telephoto camera added styls and premium properties. It also has excellent performance and strong battery life. The problem is, except for the better AI, this year’s phone does not offer much more than the previous model (or before), and starts with prices 3 1,300, we think it needs to be more and more to get a high choice space.
One Plus 13
Although OnePlus 13 includes some basic AI features, such as Google’s Circle Two Search and Gemini Assistant, it is really just an old -fashioned flagship. The reason is that instead of focusing on machine learning, OnePlus reduced the phone with a ton of top number hardware. It plays a 6.8 -inch OLED display, with an incredible peak brightness up to 4,500 knots. The OP13 Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip as well as 16GB RAM and 512 GB storage also offers excellent performance. There are also three 50-MP cameras, one of which is a 3X telephoto zoom and a large-scale 6,000 mAh battery that is practically larger than you get in all its rivals.
One Plus also did not reduce the design of the phone, as the OP13 still comes with the company’s signature alert slider. In addition, if you choose blue or white colors, you will find a sustainable and highly touching wagon leather waist that helps the phone stand in all your glass brick rivals. But the best thing is that starting at $ 900, its price is less than Galaxy S25+.
Normal questionnaire
How can I know which smartphone is the best for me?
While choosing the best smartphone can be difficult, it is mostly about how you plan to use the device. All the best phones available now understand the basics – you can access calls, text and internet without many hiccups. If your smartphone is your most used gadget, you would like to consider paying a device at the high end of the price spectrum. This will give you better performance, high quality camera and a phone that will continue for many years. If you do not use your phone for everything, you may be able to compromise on performance and additional facilities and still spend less on capable handset.
How much is a smartphone?
Smartphones cost more than $ 300 to $ 1,500. Now the best budget phones available will usually compromise on additional features to keep overall performance, design, camera capacity and costs lower. Flip side, the most expensive phone will have a powerful processor, triple camera rows and even flip or fold designs. Most people will get a phone that meets their needs somewhere in the middle of this wide price range – we find that most of the best smartphones available now are priced between $ 500 and $ 1,000.
What can you do on a smartphone?
Smartphones are mainly small, portable computers that allow you to work like check email, social media, follow map directions, contact lace payments and more. All this is at the top of the basics such as phone calls and texting, which we expect in all modern cell phones. Smartphones have also changed most compact cameras because of their high quality, built -in shooters, and the fact that today most smartphones as portable, if not much, like a compact camera.
How long do smartphones go?
Smartphones can pass last year and people are Holding on your phone More software update and battery life are the two biggest factors that can affect the longevity of the phone. Apple promises five -year software updates for its latest iPhones, and Google also promises for its pixel phones. Samsung phones will receive four years of Android updates from the time of launch. As far as the speed and battery life are concerned, your phone can be damaged over time when you use your phone on a regular basis and recharge.
