If you’re trying to figure out which are the very best smartphones to buy in 2022, we have the answers.
We’ve ranked and rated the top performers from our extensive phone reviews in one definitive list. Whether you typically prefer Apple’s iPhone, want to check out the latest Samsung flagship or fancy something different from the Android realm, this guide can help you figure out which phone should be at the top of your wishlist.
If you already know which phone operating system you’ll be going with, you may find it easier to zoom in on our best Android phone or best iPhone guides. And if the prices of the picks below are a little steep, you may want to consider checking out a mid-range smartphone or entry-level mobile device.
As with every buyer’s guide, the picks below are the result of countless hours of testing by the Pocket-lint team. However, a phone’s performance isn’t the only thing that we consider when putting together these rankings; we place a strong emphasis on the price tag and overall value of a device, too.
Our picks change regularly, given that new phones launch all the time, but below you can find the latest rankings.
