Best Android Phones of the Year

44 Comments

1. What about Xiaomi phones?

2. Nice to see Sony get even just a little more spotlight

3. Pixel 7 for my choice.

4. Galaxy S22 Ultra snapdragon world's best smartphone

5. Best Android phone I bought was the Galaxy S2 10 years ago: I felt I received incredible value; something mind blowingly good; amazing display and screen size; fantastic battery life; great camera … it was the bees knees (younger bees that is – everybody knows older bees have bad knees). You just can't get that feel for a new smartphone anymore. And the S3 and S4 made me realize that spec was well outstripping battery capability just to sell new phones a long time ago. As such, just hearing S22 sounds like laughing at Rocky 38 in Airplane to me! Time to change the naming convention me thinks.

6. Hi there I'm looking for perfect android phone for Christmas so please help me find a new phone for
   The holidays before the new year.

7. I dislike the Samsung design. Its plain and has no character. Samsung should up its design game. I mean iphones are distinctive and good looking imo.

8. Pixel 6a

9. This looks like a ad for samsung and pixel. I can tell neither one of y'all picked the OnePlus 10 Pro back up after y'all reviewed it 10 months ago. The camera is better on the 10 Pro than the Pixel 7 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro/Pro max and the s22u. It's a shame how y'all make videos off old data instead of retesting the devices you're claiming is good. OnePlus is winning in every category camera, display, fast charging, battery life feel in hand and software.

10. Lol half video can be cut down to just get s22 or pixel

11. The s22 plus is the most balanced model, in my opinion. But, Samsung has a lot of room to improve it in the s23 line. A little more battery, more megapixels on the front camera and, please, a fast charger.

12. Pixel 7 pro is the best

13. Sony best technology Japan

14. Are you sure Samsung offers longer Android support than Google's own phone??

15. The pixel 7 pro takes the cake for me and am buying it on Christmas

16. Only one phone is android is Google pixel Google owned android Samsung is a brand not android Samsung do business with Google to run your operating system if u didn't know i dont know they people call everything android is a operating system not a phone Google pixel is the only android phone that makes by Google owned android system

17. this is not a good video

18. Samsung is the best Android
    Runner up, google pixels
    

19. I got my s22ultra for a 900 euro new so a great deal

20. the best Android phones in 2022….. if you happen to be a multimillionaire
    .
    I would recommend the Nokia G21,, 4G,,$120,, two OS updates, three years of security patches
    4/64 GB,, NFC,, 90Hz, two sim slots & micro SD,, fingerprint sensor ( used for two factor authentication )

21. S22 Plus is the best choice

22. As a new company nothing phone 1 is a really great midrange phone

23. You could have shared holiday pricing to make video Pretty exciting and value deals available out there

24. If you want a good compact phone get an ASUS Zenfone. You'll pay less than an S22 and get a headphone jack and dual SIM support.

25. It's sad how Android isn't a choice heaving like it used to be. Back in the day, you had Motorola, HTC, and LG. Motorola pretty much fell off so did OnePlus, HTC barely alive and LG mobile division is dead. Sony pricing their phones ridiculously high. You're pretty much stuck with Pixel or the Galaxies, the rest are the Chinese brands. I'm talking about the Western market POV.

28. Feels bad to be a US customer. Feels like you only get to choose from Samsung, Google and OnePlus when it comes to Android. Limited choice

29. Why show the iPhone 14 Pro if this is only for the Best Android Phone of the Year? Is it because even the 2-year-old iPhone 12 outsold Samsung's S22 Ultra, or because Google's worried over even more Android users switching to iPhones instead of buying Android phones saying Nothing? 

30. Enjoying my Z Flip 4. The cameras are not average. Just wish it had a telephoto.

31. S22 ultra

32. S22+ has a horrible battery life; crazy to go from daily driving a 14 Pro Max whose battery barely moves to using my S22+ on vacation and just watching it drain the moment I wake up. Not a bad phone but for $1k, I could've just gotten a 14 Pro. Maybe I'll go S23U for my next Android phone but I don't want two top of the line phones. Pixel burned me after using their horrid Pixel 6 Pro, so I wouldn't touch them for a while.

33. 7:21 Unless you live in the UK or Europe . Everyone else doesn't matter, CNET?

34. As a small phone fan, i have the s22. I run 60 hz and it allows me to get all day battery life. Everything you said was pretty much spot on. I also have the 6a.

35. Great video

36. Sony Xperia phones. Still headphone jack and micro SD card support. Isn't that why we got Android in the first place. Options!!!

37. Using a Pixel 6A for roughly around 3.5 months, best Android experience I have ever had

38. Dear CNET,

    The world of android is not limited to Samsung and Google pixels.

    Sincerely,
    The Internet

39. S22 ultra cameras unrated

40. Was looking for this exact comparison

41. Nice overall recommendations, but it feels somewhat unfair to exclude xiao mi, oppo, & vivo flagships, if nothing phone was included..

42. As far as compact Android phones, ASUS Zenfone 9 for me…

43. Im watching this video on Samsung z fold 4

44. android
