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.


The 10th Galaxy S phone feels familiar, but is still excellent




A 48-megapixel camera, all-screen display, giant battery, and a humane price




But what’s on the inside matters, too

What was good is still good; what was missing is still missing


Huge battery, slick design, and a superb processor, constrained by bad software and international relations


Is a gaming phone better than a ‘regular’ phone?


The V40 gives you a camera bag full of lenses in one device


This slick slider has the price, but not the quality, of the best smartphones


Big screen, old parts, and a far-off promise of 5G






HTC still does a lot of things well, but its new ideas miss the mark

OnePlus’ latest is still a great value, but still has the same old problems

I went searching for the perfect minimalist phone, but I ended up back with my iPhone

If you’ve been waiting for a phone that can upset the Apple-Samsung duopoly, this is it

The Galaxy S9 is all of the good and all of the bad we’ve come to expect from Samsung


Huawei’s premier smartphone is let down by bad software
