Was this helpful for you? Yes No. Thanks for your feedback! We would try to be better next time you come. Much like the phones before it, this isn't the absolute best choice but it's very good for the price.
Plus, there's wireless charging in here too if you wanted to opt for a charging pad instead. Camera: This is the big upgrade for the OnePlus 9, and while it doesn't reach the heights of the OnePlus 9 Pro is makes some fantastic true-to-life imagery that you won't be embarrassed to share with your friends. The iPhone 12 Pro takes everything great about the iPhone 12 and elevates it. Then there's the iPhone 12 Pro Max that offers better battery life and a slightly more powerful camera as well as a huge screen.
The extra for the iPhone 12 Pro may not be worth the notable price hike, but this phone pairing was undeniably the best Apple had released until the iPhone 13 range arrived. While the same amount of money could buy you a Samsung phone with a bigger screen and more storage at the base level, most iOS users don't want to deal with Android. Instead, they can look forward to a few key upgrades over the iPhone 11 Pro , like 5G and MagSafe for clipping on accessories as well as wireless chargers easily and securely.
Screen: Apple's 6. Yes, the notch cut out at the top is still here, but we find it to be easy to ignore after a while, even as other phones do just fine with punch-holes in displays. Battery life: This is some of the best battery life we've ever experienced on an iPhone, with further optimizations within iOS and a larger cell inside the phone itself.
It's still not game-changing, but it's better than other Apple handsets and the iPhone 12 Pro Max is particularly notable. Camera: The triple camera setup on the iPhone 12 Pro is fantastic. While the three rear cameras aren't too different than the ones in the iPhone 11 Pro, save for the added LiDAR sensor that supposedly enables portrait mode-style shots even in Night Mode. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the one to go for though if you want the very best camera on an Apple device.
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus was previously the best phone you can buy today, while the smaller and slightly less capable Galaxy S20 is so similar that we've lumped the two together. Why they're ranked 12th: Previously the best smartphones money can buy, the Samsung Galaxy S21 series has knocked the Galaxy S20 range from its top spot but these are still fantastic choices for your next handset. Plus, if you're looking to buy one soon you may find it's cheaper than it was before the Galaxy S21 appeared.
The notches are both centralized like the Note 10, but they're much smaller this time around, and the S20 Plus only has a single lens. The result: more screen. That is, to put it lightly, a lot, and frequently got us through over a day without recharging. Keep in mind that battery life estimate will dip down if you set the refresh rate at Hz, use a ton of 5G connectivity or lend juice with Wireless PowerShare, so adapt accordingly if you're looking to keep your phone going longer.
Camera: The S20 and S20 Plus have truly spectacular cameras. No, not their 12MP main shooters, which are fine — it's the 64MP telephoto that really shines with a 3x optical zoom up from the usual 2x zoom. The camera can also crop zoom to a muddy 30x digital zoom — which means the interim intervals are still a good deal more impressive than the competition. The 12MP ultra-wide performs adequately, while the 10MP front-facing camera works great with fun filters.
Another first-time bonus: 8K 24fps video from the rear camera. Still, with its impressive Hz refresh rate and 6,mAh battery it could appeal to plenty of non-gamers too. Screen: You get a 6. It also has a Hz touch sampling rate — which will benefit gamers in particular. If battery life is a concern then this is a top choice.
The iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 mini aren't technically superior to the iPhone 12 Pro series, but both are priced so well for iPhones and each has most of the key features you'll want from an Apple device — and since the iPhone 13 didn't upgrade much, you can save some money opting for the iPhone flagship.
The iPhone 12 takes the place of the iPhone 11 with the same 6. Then there's the new iPhone 12 mini, which is similar but comes in a smaller package. Why they're ranked 14th: It's not as good of a value as Samsung's top-ranked handset, but the iPhone 12 is a great iPhone for some people simply because it costs significantly less than much of the competition.
And, unlike the iPhone SE , which we also praise for being good value, you're getting most of the features found on the Pro-level handsets like the camera's stunning Night Mode. If you want the smaller version, it has a 5.
For the first year, the more 'affordable' flagship also gets an OLED screen, which is a big perk. It's a brilliant-looking phone, if you don't mind the notch. Battery life: These iPhones can deliver all-day battery life, and it's slightly better than the iPhone 11 battery, which we thought was stellar in What are you going to be missing?
The pricier iPhone 12 Pro series does last a bit longer, but given no phones come with faster chargers this year, you'll have to shell out for Apple's fast charger unit just like the Pro owners.
Camera: This is close to the best iPhone camera, with both a 12MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide camera to cram more into the frame. It's missing the triple-lens camera on the Pro models, which adds in a telephoto lens, but you're getting the two essential cameras from that pairing, and it includes a long exposure night mode that will automatically brighten up dark photos.
The iPhone 11 is getting on a bit now but thanks to Apple's fantastic software support and speedy hardware it's still a great buy. Why it's ranked 15th: The specs here aren't as impressive as they are on the iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max, let alone the iPhone 13 range, but the trade-off in a lower price for this device still makes it a top-buy for many Apple fans. You'll miss out on a faster processor and features like MagSafe by not going with the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 mini, but that's about it.
Screen: The iPhone 11's 6. Like all post-iPhone X Apple handsets, you'll have to live with a wide notch. Battery life: The easiest way to describe battery life on the iPhone 11 is good, but not great. You'll get around a day of usage from the iPhone 11, but it's not as good as the physically larger phones like the 11 Pro Max. If you want the best camera on an iPhone, you'll want the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but it's still an impressive shooter on the rear of the 11 — and crucially, it has an HDR-like Night Mode.

You're at the end of our best smartphone guide, but that doesn't mean we can't help you still - if you're stuck on which model is for you, we've got a tool that can compare all the phones together and you can decide which one suits you best based on the cost.
Overall, another strong mobile from Xiaomi, albeit it one that is rivalled for the price by various other manufacturers, including Samsung, Huawei and OnePlus. Every phone that OnePlus has launched over the last year has been a hit in our eyes, and the OnePlus 8T is in some ways a combination of everything that came before this year: a mix of the OnePlus 8, the OnePlus 8 Pro, and the OnePlus Nord. It combines some excellent features with a very reasonable price in the mid-range section of the market.
The headline features are perhaps the Hz refresh rate on the 6. You can juice up the phone from zero to full in the space of just half an hour or so, and that means you might not need to put your phone on charge overnight ever again.
There are plenty more specs to like as well, including the top-tier Snapdragon processor and plenty of RAM and storage. The camera isn't the best in the business, but it's certainly capable of taking some decent snaps, and that extends to low light and night time photography too.
You do miss out on some flagship-level extras, like IP68 waterproofing and wireless charging, but everything considered including the price this is one of the best smartphones on the market in The Vivo X51 5G represents a new breed of premium mid-range phones that are currently taking the market by storm. They offer plenty of flagship-grade features but do so while costing less as they tend to come with more mid-tier core hardware.
Combined with a lightly skinned Android 10 operating system out of the box, and a price that rings in under the majority of flagship phones, and its easy to see how the Vivo X51 5G asks the question of if you need to spend more for, benchmark scores aside, small gains in terms of usage experience.
Overall, one of the best phones on the market for offering a near-flagship experience but at a noticeably lower price point. There's a huge amount to like when it comes to the Oppo Find X3 Pro , and the premium flagship phone comfortably earns a place in our list of the best phones available right now.
It's polished, it's fast, it lasts a long time between battery charges, it has a fantastic screen, and the camera is great too — was there anything else you were looking for?
The quad-lens rear camera is worth a special mention actually, because as well as offering an ultrawide mode and 2x optical zoom, it also has a microscopic mode that lets you take super-close-ups of fabric, surfaces, and more.
It's a lot of fun to use and it helps the Oppo Find X3 Pro stand out even more. It's fair to say that the handset is on the expensive side, but you get plenty back in return for your money — including 5G connectivity, the top-tier Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm, IP68 protection against water and dust, and plenty more besides.
Absolutely get this one on your shortlist. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is not the best phone for most people. Think of it less as a phone and more of a mobile film or photo studio. The 6. Check out our iPhone 12 Pro Max Review for examples. But if you primarily use your phone for photography or filming, this is the cream of the Apple crop.
Yes, both those phones offer some improvements in terms of specs over the standard S21, but in terms of core usage experience they are very similar. And, well, the S21 delivers everything you would want from a modern smartphone. You get a large Hz display, rapid 5G connectivity, a feature-packed camera system, and a strong all-round internal hardware spec.
You also get the very latest version of Android as an OS, too. The battery isn't the most capacious on this phone, that is true, and you also don't get a charger in its box also, which is an added expense unless you're already outfitted with a USB Type-C wired charger or one the best wireless chargers , but aside from that there really isn't much to dislike at all. Choosing the right phone is no easy task, as there are so many on the market and, truth be told, many of them are very similar.
There are some core questions you should ask yourself before pulling the trigger on a smartphone upgrade, though. Firstly, you need to establish if you're going to buy the phone SIM free as in buy the phone outright upfront or on contract.
Both these options have their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, buying a phone outright, and especially if it is a premium handset, can cost a lot of money, so you need to be able to swallow that. Once the phone is bought, though, then it is yours and you can go about getting one of the best SIM only deals , which offer better allowances for less money. On contract purchases are great in the sense that they often put the phone in your hand for comparatively very little money or even for nothing, but then you need to pay for the phone over the period of your contract, which is tied to a network SIM plan that, most of the time, doesn't offer as good allowances or value as a SIM only one.
Next up you should ask yourself what you budget is, and what you're primarily going to be using the phone for. If you're a gamer then you're going to need to ensure you have a phone with good gaming functionality, while if you're a creative then you could benefit from a phone with digital stylus support. Equally, if you love taking photos then you need to prioritise a phone with a great camera system, while if you're a massive streamer then bagging a phone with a large screen is smart.
If you're a busy working professional who travels a lot, then you'll want a phone with a large battery. Once you've identified your needs and budget you can start to get more granular with your sorting. Next up we'd suggest identifying which OS and phone platform is right for you. Finally, once OS is decided start to add or take away features that you need or don't.
For example, reverse wireless charging is really neat, but not every user will need it or use it, while phones that comes with huge amounts of RAM or storage may be useful for enthusiasts, but would go unused by many others.
These are just a few of the things we recommend people consider before buying a new phone, but we feel that providing each person does their research well something this buying guide can help with , there's an ideal mobile for everyone.
The most sold smartphone of so far is, unsurprisingly, the Apple iPhone This is the phone that is currently top of T3's best phones guide, and as of early September this year it has sold Interestingly, this is then followed by some interesting runners up.
Where you would think Samsung and Huawei would be snapping at Apple's heels with their flagship devices, in fact it is the mid-range Samsung Galaxy A51 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 that follow, with Indeed, it is then nothing but Xiaomi and Apple phones in the remaining top 10 in terms of most sold smartphones so far in , with Apple taking up 5 out of the top 10 slots.
Now, of course, we've still got some big releases to come this year, but considering the gap between first and second in this list, we can't see any other phone dethroning Apple and its iPhone And, to be honest, we're totally cool with that. The iPhone 11 is a superb phone and that's why it is our number one phone recommendation for most people.
As you can see, Chinese phone brands now account for 3 out of the top 5 phone makers in the world, with their ability over the past five years to deliver top-tier tech first, or for a cheaper price, ingratiating them with many users.
South Korean maker Samsung though remains at the head of the top table, though, and has a wide range of phones in its offering, including foldables like the Galaxy Z Flip, as well as 5G phablets like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. Apple remains incredibly popular around the world, too, and currently retains its number two spot in terms of smartphone sales globally. There's a lot to consider when reviewing one of today's best phones, and for T3 we have a detailed five-stage process that each new device goes through.
Firstly, we judge the phone from a build quality and fit and finish point of view, as well as how comprehensive its package is. This stage is very much ascertaining how a phone feels in the hand, how robust it looks and what extras it does or doesn't come with.
If a phone has a cheap plastic backplate and a spongy screen then we'll find out and let you know. Next up we review the phone from a setup and hardware point of view. This stage sees us set up the phone as we would if it were our own, as well as examine exactly what hardware it comes with, such as its processor, RAM, storage and GPU, among other things.
The goal here is to see how accessible setup is and what, on paper, your money is buying you. Thirdly, we then move onto the phone's software and highlight features.
So, for example, on Android we test out how good the phone maker's user interface skin is, as each one if definitely not made equal. Or, for example, if testing a new Galaxy Note phone, we'll absolutely test out its digital stylus.
We also test features like biometric security, fingerprint readers and reverse wireless charging. Our forth stage of testing is dedicated purely to the phone's camera system, as truth be told they are one of the most important parts of a phone today and a primary reason why people choose one model over another.
This stage involved taking photographs with the phone and testing out each of its main shooting modes, as well as analysing what video capabilities are on offer, too. Lastly, we then consider each phone from a purely experiential point of view — as in, how is it like to use on a daily basis?
This is a really important part of our testing as it strips away all the technical jargon and components and is just intended to reveal how good it is use. This procedure takes one to two weeks and often also encompasses battery testing.
Only then, when all five of these phone review procedures are complete, do we award a score to a phone, with 5 stars been the highest rank a product can get. Deputy Editor for T3. You can find Rob's work in magazines, bookazines and online, as well as on podcasts and videos, too.
