The best Android phone for 2025

We test every phone in the real world scenarios that focus on its features, design and performance, cameras, battery life and total value. We are documenting the results we have reached in a preliminary review that is updated periodically when there are new updates for software or comparison with new phones from phones from competitors such as Apple, Samsung, Google and OnePlus.

Photography

Photography is the main axis of most phones these days, so we take pictures and videos of various topics in a variety of settings and lighting scenarios. We try any new camera modes such as the Slow -up 4K 1k 120fps mode that first appeared on the iPhone 16 Pro or the AdD Me Photo tool launched with the Google Pixel 9 series.

Battery life

The battery test is done in several ways. We evaluate the duration that the phone lasts during a typical day of use, and we notice how it works during more concentration sessions of video calls, media and games. We also perform a video playback test, which is not always included in the initial review and is later added in an update.

performance

We use measurement applications to measure performance, as well as our anecdotal use of the phone using our review. It is worth noting how graphics and animation looks. Is it soft? Or are you backward or affected? Take a look at the speed of the phone’s speed between the horizontal and vertical trends and the extent of the speed of opening the camera application and is ready to take a picture.

We perform heavy treated tasks such as photo editing, export videos and play games. We evaluate whether a newer version of a specific phone includes sufficient features to make it worth upgrading from old models.
