Top Cell Phones 2023

The SoC upgrade and the improved cooling of the Xiaomi 12T Pro make for excellent runtimes.

A truly stunning mid-range phone offering so much more than you would expect by simply looking at the price tag. This is arguably the best combination of screen and main camera you can get for under £250 – you just need to be ok not having 5G.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra delivers a high-quality superzoom camera that truly works, supports Samsung's excellent S Pen, and sets the bar for smartphone features in 2021.

An impressive blend of affordability and performance that’s hard to beat. Although not the best, the camera setup is versatile and the user experience is better than previous iterations. Speed is the real talking point here; with its Snapdragon 865 chip, 5G, UFS 3.0 storage and 65W ‘SuperDart’ fast charging being excellent inclusions. You won’t find better for the price, not by a long shot.

With solid power, great software and an inviting design, the Moto G6 is everything a budget phone should be.

The Huawei P20 Pro one-ups the camera phone competition by adding a third telephoto sensor, giving you improved long-distance firepower.

The Poco F5 Pro delivers on that Poco promise of great specs and performance at a superb price.

Google's Pixel 6 Pro is a class-leading flagship phone thanks to killer battery life, fast performance, excellent cameras, and unbeatable Android software.

The OnePlus 7T for T-Mobile has terrific performance for its price, but it occupies an uncomfortable place in the company's phone lineup.

The Pixel XL has top-notch hardware, the latest Android software, and guaranteed support from Google, making it one of the best big-screen Android phones you can buy.
