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 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
Your best bet for a budget phone with a stylus
Its built-in stylus is useful and enjoyable, but the Stylo 6 is too slow to recommend
The G Power’s massive battery lasts for days, but other features have suffered to make way for it
The Ace offers a large screen and massive battery, but it falls short in some key areas
The processor is updated. The rest? Not so much.
Apple’s biggest iPhone brings along an impressive camera
It’s not the best iPhone for most people, but it’s going to be a favorite for many
It’s better than the original in every way but still costs too much
LG’s latest dual-screen phone flies too close to the sun
You have to get behind the phone’s mission to face its flaws
It’s the one you should get unless you’re waiting for the Max or mini
5G, LIDAR, MagSafe — the new iPhone 12 Pro has a lot of things you won’t be able to do much with right now
Plenty of control, if you know how to use it
Google goes back to its old tricks, mostly for the better
The 5G is nice, but the improved processor matters more
All the essentials for $699
The only 10x periscope telephoto lens around
All the right ideas — but spoiled by buggy software and a bad camera
Two screens, five cameras, one hinge, $2,000
A big bulky phone with a 90Hz display
Stripped to just the phone essentials, but it gets them right
A less expensive OnePlus phone that mostly ticks all the boxes
The camera system is new and intriguing, but the phone is overpriced
LG steps away from the specs arms race — but is it one step too far?
A great-looking device without the internals to match
Samsung’s $399 smartphone gives you what you pay for
When great just isn’t good enough
