The latest and largest from Apple is a killer update packed with all the features you need for content creation.

Bottom Line

An excellent phone that packs in a wide variety of features at a reasonable price point.

Pros

This phone zips through tasks powered by the peppy Titan M2 chip. A popular phone for influencers, the Pixel 7 Pro has a 3-lens camera system that catches distant and close-up objects with great clarity. Its adaptive battery can run for over 24 hours. Features improved data security.

Cons

The screen scratches more easily than buyers expect.

This older model from Apple still has all the power and screen space you could need.

Pros

The new Dynamic Island transforms the necessary notch into a multi-function part of the display, shrinking and growing as needed to display more information or increase your screen real estate. It comes in four colors and in four data storage sizes, from 128 GB to 1 TB.

Cons

It’s the most expensive iPhone yet, even with only 128 GB of data.

This is Samsung’s latest, greatest, most powerful 5G-capable phone.

Pros

It can be tied to a big carrier or left unlocked to be used with a smaller one. It comes in eight colors and three data storage capacities. It has four camera lenses on the back to take advantage of a range of camera options. We love how quickly you can navigate and load different apps with this option.

Cons

It doesn’t have an SD card slot and it has less RAM than previous models.

The 8K camera and 5G connectivity are great for pixel-perfect photos and mobile gaming.

Pros

It has 5 cameras and impressive photography options, including crystal-clear night photo mode. It captures immersive 8K video, and its 5G connection is perfect for streaming and gaming. The battery life is excellent, and it's the first Galaxy phone with a built-in S Pen.
