The best Android phones for 2025

Unlike Apple , Android offers a world of variety, there’s an Android device out there to suit your needs.

The beauty of Android is its flexibility, with phones with different screen sizes, camera setups, battery life and even quirky extras like stylus support or rugged builds.

Google 's Pixel 9 Pro is the smaller version of the larger, 6.3-inch Pixel Pro , with the same camera setup in both handsets.

The Pixel 9 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro both start at $ 999 .

The base Pixel 9 is still a solid handset for most people.

The Pixel 8a supports the same powerful and versatile AI functions you get on Google ’s flagship phones along with excellent cameras, a gorgeous 120Hz OLED display and great battery life.

Samsung gave the S24 Ultra a more durable titanium frame, faster performance thanks to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

Plus, Google ’s AI image editing tools like Magic Editor give you more control over your photos, and Pixel -only software like Made You Look make Google ’s handset a more compelling foldable. — Valentina Palladino , Deputy Editor - Slick design - Better cameras than the competition - Thinner and lighter than previous model - Runs cooler than before - Still expensive - Some software quirks.
