Smartphones

This page compares the smartphones we track, from budget phones like the Motorola Moto G Play to Google Pixel and Samsung flagships, large foldables such as the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and Amazon Renewed iPhones that offer recent Apple hardware at a lower price. Phones are now good enough that the most important factors are often how long they receive software updates, how well the cameras perform in low light, and battery life.

If you are considering a renewed iPhone, check the battery health when it arrives and make sure it is still within the return window. Foldables are fantastic for multitasking and reading but heavier and more expensive, so think about how you will actually use the larger screen. Our guide explains these trade-offs in more depth.
