While there’s no denying that the latest iPhones are great handsets in their own right, long gone are the days of the Android crowd feeling envious of Apple’s output. Our current picks for the best Android phones have stood out from the competition, wowing our team of tech experts.
The best thing about Android has always been (and continues to be) the amount of choice you have on offer. With great options from the likes of Samsung, Google, OnePlus and more, you can decide which phone to buy based on the features that you value the most – something that can’t really be said when shopping for an iPhone.
For example, if you enjoy streaming or gaming on your smartphone, you can opt for a handset with a fast, modern chipset and a gorgeous OLED display. For those who love taking pictures with their smartphone and want the widest array of sensors possible, you’re also covered.
It’s this freedom of choice that makes Android such a great option for consumers everywhere, but it does mean that if you’re not careful, you can get bogged down in the details. Thankfully, that’s where we come in.
With all of the phones you see on this list, they were used as the main handset by the reviewer in question, and then subjected to our series of tests to ensure that the phone holds up under scrutiny. This procedure involves documenting battery drain, charging speeds, chipset performance and camera detail, just to name a few.
Once all these tests are completed, we can provide our final verdict on a phone, along with a corresponding score. Only those that really stood out from the pack are able to make it into this very list.
If you are curious to know a bit more about where iPhones stand against the top Android performers, you should have a read of our best phones guide. For the more budget-conscious among you, we also have price-centric buying guides in the form of the best mid-range phones and the best cheap phones.

Given that 2024’s Galaxy S24 Ultra held this spot until recently, it probably shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to see that its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, has now taken over its post.
While it’s true that the S25 Ultra doesn’t depict a monumental upgrade over last year’s flagship, and that if you do have that phone or even the S23 Ultra then you’re better off staying put for the time being, there’s no getting around how great this display looks on a daily basis.
This time around, the bezels have been shaved down even further to create the illusion at times that one half of the phone is simply all-screen. It certainly means that you now get the most out of its gigantic 6.9-inch AMOLED display when it comes to watching TV shows or indulging in a spot of gaming, the latter of which is a breeze thanks to the included Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset.
The S24 Ultra’s anti-reflective coating makes a comeback here as well, and it does a fantastic job at minimising distraction from nearby light sources. This, in turn, should have a knock-on effect on the device’s battery life as you won’t feel as pressured to up the brightness on your phone when using it outdoors.

There’s no shortage of fantastic camera phones in the Android smartphone market, but the Xiaomi 15 Ultra stands head and shoulders above the competition with some of the best performance across the board.
That’s headed up by a 50MP main camera with a whopping 1-inch sensor that’s larger than anything you’ll find from Samsung, Apple and Google, and allows for phenomenal day-to-day performance. Not only are images crisp and detailed, but the large sensor also allows for stunning performance in low-light scenarios too.
That’s backed up by a 50MP 3x floating telephoto lens that doubles up as a pretty fantastic telemacro lens, complete with a natural bokeh you’d expect from DSLRs, and the 200MP periscope lens captures plenty of detail at the 50x mark and beyond. The 50MP ultrawide is the weakest of the four lenses, but that’s only because the others are exceptional. It’d be considered a fairly capable ultrawide lens if this were any other smartphone.
The Leica tuning is present and accounted for, both in the form of Vibrant and Authentic shooting modes along with a variety of filters and Leica-style bokeh effects when taking portrait photos.
It’s not just a great camera phone either; it sports a curved 6.73-inch WQHD+ AMOLED screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite power and a healthy 5410mAh battery with 90W charging.
The only real chink in its armour is its software; while HyperOS 2 is much cleaner than the older EMUI, the inspiration is still clear, and it’s about as far as you can get from stock Android. It also falls short when it comes to long-term support, with Xiaomi committing to four years of OS upgrades and six years of security patches.

It’s no secret at this point that if you want the cleanest, most iOS-like experience within the Android tent, then you absolutely need to nab a Pixel phone. Google’s stock Android, which is uncluttered and very customisable, is just a joy to use, and compared to some of the bloatware-ridden Android overlays that we’ve come across in our many tests, it really shows off Android in its best light.
While you could upgrade to the Pixel 10 or even the Pixel 10 Pro if you’re budget is somewhat restrained, we’d argue that the Pixel 10 Pro XL is worth the added expense for the feeling of luxury that you get here with its suite of high-end features, the most important of which being its super large 6.8-inch display.
With a 120Hz OLED panel that packs 3300 nits of peak brightness, the Pixel 10 Pro XL’s display is a total feast for the eyes. Not only do all of your favourite apps look great, and scrolling through social media feels buttery smooth, but it’s the incredible colour that the screen is able to show when streaming from the likes of Netflix or Disney Plus that really makes it stand out. If you enjoy using your smartphone as your main entertainment hub, then you’ll appreciate the offering here.
As with any Pixel phone however, beyond the excellent software experience, the real draw is the camera set-up. Particularly when it comes to portrait photography, Google’s computational processing can deliver eye-catching shots unlike any other, and when paired with the XL’s triple-camera array, headlined by a beefy 50MP main camera, you’ll have a hard time taking a bad shot here. Even at night, the 10 Pro XL can still deliver impressive colours, so you can capture that epic night-out with ease.
What’s been great to see is that, in spite of all of the upgrades afforded to the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Google hasn’t neglected arguably the most important factor of all: battery life. From our testing, the massive 5200mAh cell can really go the distance, offering up to two days of use on a single charge, so you’ll never have to worry about needing to seek out a charging outlet before the end of the day.

If sheer power is what you’re after, then the OnePlus 15 is a great option. Not only does it run on Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the chip of 2026, but OnePlus worked with mobile game developers to enable the full 165Hz gaming experience offered by the 1.5K display.
In fact, gaming on the OnePlus 15 feels especially seamless as you can now play at up to 165fps in the likes of Call of Duty, giving you the edge when playing online.
Although we touched briefly upon the display earlier, it’s worth mentioning just how feature-packed it is. The 6.76-inch AMOLED panel delivers vibrant colours, a rapid 3200Hz touch response rate and impossibly thin 1.15mm bezels too.
Flip the handset over and you’ll note that the OnePlus 15 looks exceptionally similar to Oppo’s Find X9 Pro. However, the exact camera hardware on offer with the OnePlus 15 is different.
While on paper it may seem like the OnePlus 15’s cameras are unchanged from the OnePlus 13, as both are fitted with the same 50MP trio, there are a few notable differences to keep in mind. For example, the main 50MP camera now has the same sized sensor as the iPhone 17 Pro Max while its telephoto lens has a larger 1/2.75-inch sensor too.
While the cameras might not be quite as impressive as the Find X9 Pro, it’s worth remembering that is a camera-focused handset – and more expensive too. Generally we’d say the OnePlus 15 is a decent all-rounder, able to make light work of most scenarios and does a better job of surpassing the 3.5x zoom mark than even the Pixel 10.
With a mighty 7300mAh cell, the OnePlus 15 alleviates any battery anxiety you might have. Even busy days with over five hours of screen time still saw us end the day with up to 40% battery remaining.
Thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, mighty battery capacity and brilliant gaming support, the OnePlus 15 is truly one of the best all-rounders for 2026.

Honor AI is still a mixed bag -
Arguably the most dull-looking flagship phone
Although at first you’d be forgiven for thinking the Honor Magic 8 Pro looks the same as its predecessor, a closer inspection shows some welcome updates. While the camera module is larger than before, the handset is thinner and lighter than the Magic 7 Pro, at just 8.4mm and 213g respectively, and now sports the AI Button at the right-hand side.
Not only that, but the display is smaller too at 6.71-inches compared to the Honor Magic 7 Pro’s 6.8-inch. Even so, we still found the OLED panel delivers vibrant colours and contrast, with its LTPO 120Hz refresh rate helping everything feel delightfully smooth.
Flip the handset over and you’ll be greeted by the impressive trio of rear lenses, including a 50MP main, 50MP ultrawide and a beefy 200MP 3.7x telephoto lens too. All three lenses are consistent and result in matching contrast, highlights and colour too. While the ultrawide did have a tendency to capture darker and slightly distorted images, and certainly doesn’t match the Oppo Find X9 Pro, it’s still enough for everyday snapping.
There’s also plenty of presets and filters to choose from too, if its neutral setting is slightly too pale and over-exposed for your liking.
Where the camera particularly excels is with Honor’s SuperNight capabilities which is able to extract impressive amounts of colour and detail even in darker conditions.
Powering the Honor Magic 8 Pro is the flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, which will likely be behind most of the best smartphones of 2026. Naturally, we can confirm that everything from replying to emails, social media scrolling and gaming feels lightning fast, without a hint of lagging.
Finally, the Magic 8 Pro supports 100W and 80W wireless charging. Yes, you will need Honor-branded chargers to benefit from such speeds, but even without you can still expect impressively fast recharging. For example, we concluded that with a 65W adapter, the Magic 8 Pro saw a full charge in just 70 minutes and got to 50% in under 30 minutes too.
Overall, if you want a brilliant flagship Android that not only runs smoothly but impresses with its night photography prowess and speedy charging, then the Honor Magic 8 Pro is a brilliant option for most.

If you want an ultra-slim, lightweight flagship with a fantastic 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, you’ll find no better than Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.
At 5.6mm thick and 163g, it’s incredibly thin and light compared to most of the flagship competition, especially big-screen alternatives like the S25 Ultra, which makes for a fantastic in-hand feel. It’s super light yet durable, boasting a titanium frame and IP68 dust resistance, with no significant design compromise to achieve its ultra-slim dimensions.
However, it is very much a design-first smartphone. For example, there are only two cameras, lacking the telephoto lens present on much of the competition. It can also struggle to keep the top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite cool, especially when gaming.
The most significant compromise is undoubtedly battery life, as the 6.7-inch QHD+ screen is simply too much for the small 3900mAh cell, resulting in a struggle to last all day.
That said, if you’re willing to compromise and possibly carry around a power bank, the experience of using the S25 Edge is unlike anything else on this list.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line might’ve popularised the modern clamshell foldable, but it’s not the best around. That award goes instead to the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra.
While this year’s release doesn’t reinvent the wheel compared to the 50 Ultra, the refinements are meaningful. A tougher titanium hinge and improved IP48 dust and water resistance make it more durable where it counts.
That core experience remains slick and satisfying, and given that this is the best flip phone we’ve tested, that’s high praise. The standout feature remains the generous 4-inch cover screen, which handles both widget and full Android apps with ease, letting you do more without flipping it open.
When you do open it, you’re treated to a vibrant 7-inch pOLED display wth Pantone Validated for spot-on colour accuracy. It’s a great panel for everyday use, and while the crease hasn’t vanished, it’s shallower and far less distracting than what rivals offer.
Under the hood, you’ll find the Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage as standard. Battery life similarly impresses, lasting all day without a charge, and 68W fast charging tops it up in under an hour.
Yes, Motorola’s combination of three OS upgrades and four years of security patches lags behind Samsung’s seven OS upgrade promise, but overall, it’s the most capable and polished clamshell you can buy right now.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 marks a genuine leap forward for Samsung’s book-style foldable, finally delivering the ultra-slim, lightweight design many have been waiting for.
Shedding much of the bulk and weight of its predecessors, the 4.2mm-thick Fold 7 is now among the thinnest foldables around, and at 215g, it’s both lighter than the book-style competition and even the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It makes it a joy to handle, and it’s almost unnoticeable in the pocket as a result.
Samsung has also nailed the usability of both displays this year. The wider 6.5-inch cover screen is genuinely practical for everyday tasks, while the 8-inch internal panel feels more solid with a way less intrusive crease. Both screens are bright, vibrant and ideal for everything from gaming to multitasking.
Camera performance is another highlight, with the main 200MP sensor borrowed from the S25 Ultra delivering sharp, detailed shots that put the Fold 7 on par with regular bar phones. General performance is equally impressive, thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite and up to 16GB of RAM.
Battery life and charging remain the main drawbacks with a 4400mAh cell and 25W charging falling far behind rivals. Still, for most users, the Fold 7 will comfortably last a day, and the overall package is compelling enough to make it the standout book-style foldable of 2025.

The Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition may not be the most rounded Android phone on this list, but it excels at its main point of interest: gaming.
There are oodles of gaming-centric features here, from the AirTriggers that allow for gamepad-esque controls to the Armoury Crate software that enables you to fiddle with the performance settings and display frame rate, temperature and GPU workload figures as you play your favourite mobile games.
The real highlight is the Snapdragon 8 Elite found within. Despite being succeeded by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, the 2025 flagship chip combined with Asus’ top-notch internal optimisations including an impressive cooling system that sustains gameplay for way longer than regular smartphones.
That’s all well and good, but plenty of gaming phones offer similar performance-focused features. Where the ROG Phone 9 Pro Edition stands out is in the design department by, well, not looking like a gaming phone at all.
Instead, the phone looks not too dissimilar from your regular flagship smartphone with a glass and matte frosted finish on the rear, slimmed down bezels and even a 3x telephoto camera to bolster the rear camera setup. There are still a few gamer-centric design features, like the AniMe panel that can display text, graphics and more, but that disappears from view when not in active use.
The only major stumbling block for this phone is that it’s incredibly expensive, requiring a sum beyond the £1000/$1000 mark. As a result, it may be worth sacrificing a couple of features and opting for the older Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro (with a fairly similar spec) instead.

The Pixel 9a is a compact Android phone with an excellent camera, Google’s fantastic software and a price tag that won’t break the bank.
The Pixel 9a breaks tradition and sports a different look to the Pixel 9 or Pixel 10, ditching the iconic camera bar for a near-flush dual camera housing. Combined with its flat edges and flat screen, it’s a joy to hold and use, though it does have that plasticky feel on the rear.
The Pixel 9a also has an impressive camera setup. Its 48MP primary camera, like those that came before it, is capable of capturing excellent images in various lighting conditions and accurately captures skin tones. Google really does continue to dominate the mid-range camera space.
Then there are all the AI smarts; in addition to all the AI features on previous ‘a’ series devices, including Best Take, Magic Editor and Magic Eraser, you’ll benefit from the Add Me tech introduced on the Pixel 9 last year. There are other AI-infused elements throughout the OS too, allowing the phone to transcribe recordings and even take calls for you in certain regions.
Plus, with a whopping seven years of OS upgrades guaranteed, it’ll continue to get even more features and functionality over time. That’s a massive boost compared to the three or four upgrades you’ll get from competitors, if you’re lucky.

MagicOS is still a letdown
The Honor Magic V5, to some degree, feels like one of those technological marvels that shouldn’t exist. Until this phone came out, there was always an understanding that while book-style foldable phones could be a boon for productivity and entertainment, there were plenty of compromises elsewhere (such as in the camera department) that needed to be factored in. With the V5 however, there isn’t a single compromise in sight.
Just take a glance at the specs sheet for the Magic V5 and you’ll notice very quickly that this phone takes its flagship credentials seriously with genuinely high-end features across the board. For starters, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, just like with every other phone we’ve tested that has the chipset, performs beautifully, which means you can really stretch the V5’s multitasking capabilities by having plenty of apps open at the same time.
In fact, the only reasons why you might consider a different phone to the Magic V5 are the price – £1699.99 will no doubt be out of a fair few people’s budgets – and an understanding that you don’t really need the larger internal display, otherwise it’s an absolute must buy, especially when that same display has had a massive upgrade.
Unlike the Magic V3 that preceded it, the V5 now boasts visual parity between the outer and the inner displays, with the latter having had its peak brightness boosted to 5000 nits. This is perfect for when you’re working on the move and there’s plenty of natural light around you, as you’ll still be able to see what you’re working on without needing to squint.
What’s arguably most impressive about the V5 from a technical standpoint is that, not only is it super slim at just 8.8mm thick, it also has a massive battery life that can run for up to two-days on a single charge. It’s a level of engineering that completely blows our minds, but it means that consumers now have plenty of great options within the Android space when looking for a new foldable phone.

As phones continue to advance with AI features and numerous software tweaks, Sony’s Xperia range has remained steadfast in its efforts to appeal to a smaller group of consumers: those who appreciate a more traditional approach that comes with its own unique benefits. To that end, the Sony Xperia 1 VII is another excellent addition to this strategy.
Not only do you get a 3.5mm headphone jack on this phone, but there’s also a dedicated microSD card slot, both of which are so rare in the current smartphone market that they’re almost nonexistent, but their inclusion here means that you can enjoy two key features: lossless music playback and the ability to upgrade your storage at any time.
On the former, ask any audiophile about trying to get the best-sounding music from your favourite streaming service, and they’ll all agree that it can only be done if your headphones are connected via a dedicated cable (sorry, Bluetooth). This prevents any detail from being lost, which can typically happen over a wireless connection.
When it comes to storage, we’ve largely come to accept that you have to choose your preferred amount from the get-go and then just make do with cloud storage any time your phone’s local storage reaches full capacity. By having a MicroSD card slot, you don’t have to worry about that, as you can swap in a new card anytime you need to.
In typical Sony fashion, the camera system onboard is meant for the grownups in the room who know how to use manual mode. There’s no hand-holding like with other modern handsets, but you can get some incredible shots if you know what you’re doing, and the inclusion of a dedicated shutter button replicates the tactile feeling of holding a digital camera in your hands.

There’s no getting around the fact that the Oppo Find X9 Pro and the OnePlus 15 look remarkably similar to one another, with both handsets sporting the same flat edges, rounded corners and rear module to house the cameras. However, there are plenty of differences that might sway you either way.
Firstly, the Oppo Find X9 Pro boasts a seriously mighty battery capacity. At 7500mAh, it’s one of the biggest currently available. With such a high capacity, it’s unsurprising that the handset is easily a two-day device – although exact longevity will vary depending on your usage.
When it does come time to top up, 80W SuperVOOC and 50W wireless AirVOOC speeds means you won’t need to wait around for too long.
Another key difference between the Find X9 Pro and OnePlus 15 is with their respective cameras, with the former taking the win. With three rear lenses, including a 200MP 3x periscope, 50MP main and 50MP ultrawide, you can expect crisp yet true-to-life shots that are still eye-catching and vibrant.
As you might imagine, the 200MP zoom lens is especially useful as it allows you to get up to 6x zoom without sacrificing quality. If you do need a bit more oomph, then you can always purchase the Hasselblad Teleconverter accessory which twists onto the periscope lens and gets you closer to the action.
Finally, the Find X9 Pro runs on MediaTek Dimensity 9500 rather than Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Although it may not result in as high benchmarking results as the Qualcomm chip, everyday use is still speedy and lag-free.
Anyone who wants a camera-focused Android with a mighty battery and fast charging support will be blown away by the Oppo Find X9 Pro.
