Phone Reviews
Phones are all but vital to our modern existence, so choosing a good one is important. As they become thinner, more feature-packed, and inevitably more expensive, you’ll find the final word on the latest smartphones, both budget and flagship, Android and iOS, right here. For The Verge’s thoughts on everything Google Pixel, Apple iPhone, Samsung Galaxy S, and more, you’ve come to the right place.
Just a good, slab-style phone that doesn’t quite stand up to the category heavyweights
Yesterday’s iPhone, today
The high-end Android phone of choice in 2022 — just go easy on the battery
A great affordable handset that feels more Oppo than OnePlus
You should probably buy the Pixel 6 instead
This $160 4G phone is good enough for causal users
No one should suffer for a $300 budget 5G phone.
Google’s software makes the Honor 50 a contender rather than competitive
The new Pixels are the best phones Google has ever made
Microsoft’s second attempt at a folding phone rights a lot of the original’s wrongs, but doesn’t fix everything
A modular smartphone that (mostly) feels like a modern device
Smooth operators
As good as foldables get, but is that good enough?
Third time is maybe the charm
A midrange phone with a big screen, huge battery, and all kinds of 5G connectivity
Fast charging and elegant software offset a so-so camera
From its screen to its fast-charging, the Nord 2 has it where it counts
A good camera system and top-notch features, but it’s priced too high to recommend
The 20 Pro 5G includes premium features you’d be hard-pressed to find in another $500 phone
The ZenFone 8 delivers flagship-level build quality and performance in a small package
If you’re on the Un-carrier, the N200 offers 5G and a high-quality screen for the right price.
For $399, it doesn’t do enough to stand apart from the less expensive 4G-only version
A sub-$300 phone that’s ready for the future
A pricey phone built to withstand the elements
A legit flagship from one of China’s biggest brands
If you’re already invested in a wireless charging lifestyle, the Blade 11 Prime is a budget phone to match it
A good phone for the price, but if you can spend a bit more you’ll get some worthwhile upgrades
It’s not the cheapest budget phone, but it will go the distance
The 8 Pro uses a new 108-megapixel image sensor that could bring better photo capabilities to the midrange class
The OnePlus 9 gives up a few of the 9 Pro’s features but costs $240 less
It’s a mystifying phone with a steep price tag
