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.



Stock Android software and good design doesn’t have to cost a lot


At $399 and $479, respectively, the Pixel 3A and 3A XL are great deals


Lightning-fast performance at a low price... if you live in the right place

One has a nicer screen, and the other has an enormous battery

China’s camera champion could have been a better phone

It checks a lot of boxes, except the ones that really matter

21:9 displays get off to a bumpy start

Samsung’s smaller S10 is a step in the right direction


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
