Both the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini are powered by the same A15 Bionic processor, which keeps things moving suitably speedily. And they have 4GB of RAM – that’s nowhere near some of their rivals, some of which boast 12GB. But it’s all you need for these particular handsets. Why? It didn’t give a reason, but it was probably because S20 sounds more advanced than S11. And the S20 launched the same year as the iPhone 12, made by Samsung’s arch rival Apple. If you saw a Galaxy S11 next to an iPhone 12 on a shop shelf, chances are you would assume the iPhone 12 was more advanced, going on name alone. And obviously Samsung doesn’t want that happening.

You need fast charging: The iPhone 15 Pro Max offers reassuringly-solid battery life and functionally-fine charging, but rivals from every angle offer much faster speeds. In fact, its cameras are so significant they create quite a bump on the rear of the device, which makes it a bit top-heavy to hold. It’s not a deal breaker, but you might think twice before letting any particularly butter-fingered friends hold it. However, while our experts rank these handsets as the best smartphones right now, these mobile phones might not be the right choice for your needs. The OnePlus Open is the newest phone on this list, and we consider it to be among the best foldable phones (if not the best foldable phone) money can buy right now.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

So on paper, it’s the better phone. But in the flesh it’s a different question, and most people will find Apple’s handset easier to use. Although handset choices may be restricted, these options provide flexibility and an opportunity to improve your credit score by responsibly managing your phone usage.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 actually followed the Galaxy S10. Confused? It’s simple really: in 2020, Samsung changed its naming convention. Whereas previously it had called its S series phones Galaxy S, S2, S3, S4 etc, in 2020 it decided to adopt the year of the phone’s launch into the name. So the S10 was followed by the S20 in 2020, then the S21 in 2021. Usually phone contracts last from 12 to 36 months. A longer contract allows you to spread the cost over a longer term, so you won’t have to pay as much every month for your phone - but you'll usually pay more in the long run than shorter contracts.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max

These might be last year’s iPhones, but they’re anything but yesterday’s news. Because while they might not be the latest and greatest Apple has to offer, they still have plenty going for them.

Heroes of Goo Jit Zu is now in its 5 th year, with the Goo Mobiles simultaneously launching alongside Deep Goo Sea and King Hydra which have also started exceptionally well” Mark Hunt, Marketing Director, Character Options For starters, the Google Pixel 6 is the first phone to feature Google’s own processor. The processor is the brains of any phone. Called Tensor, this chip is significant because it’s the first time Google has made its own processor for one of its own phones, instead of relying on one made by another company. With Google owning the hardware and the Android software that runs on the phone, it has complete control over every aspect of the Pixel 6, much like Apple does with its iPhones (Apple makes both the iOS software and chips that power the devices).Apple's App Store is also the preferred launch platform for top-tier developers, ensuring early access to high-quality apps, making the iPhone the go-to choice for running apps. As ever with Samsung’s Ultra series, the price is excessive, but in almost every other way the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a superb phone, from its screen to its cameras, performance, battery and beyond. For us, this the first tablet foldable phone that simply feels right. All the ‘Folds’ that came before feel wrong. They’re shaped funny when closed: the Galaxy is too narrow; the Pixel too squat. The Open, however, hits the design sweet spot, and it's the most important improvement OnePlus could have made to the foldable form factor. If you’re paying twice as much for a phone, you shouldn’t feel like it’s the wrong size half the time.

For starters, this is an undeniably beautiful handset. The iPhone 15 Pro boasts a gorgeous titanium design that can withstand unwelcome drops more effectively than its predecessor, and the addition of a USB-C port makes this a more versatile device, too (in terms of both charging and compatibility).To compile our best phones of 2022 list, our experts have researched, tested and reviewed the leading handsets on the market right now.
