Apple iPhone 14 Pro
The new iPhone series from Apple didn't feel very revolutionary overall, but the iPhone 14 Pro stands out among its brothers as the finest in terms of value and innovative concepts. The main change was the Dynamic Island, a new notification and app interaction feature that streamlines accessing background-running programs and makes app notifications less intrusive. Additionally, it's the first iPhone to include an Always On Display. It's the best new iPhone to come out this year, particularly if you want to play around with the initial taste of brand-new tools that Apple will undoubtedly enhance in the upcoming years.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra continues the Galaxy Note series' tradition in a S series device that is highly functionally adaptable. On its 6.8-inch AMOLED display, its five cameras match the best Samsung has produced and are vivid. Fans of the Note may still scribble and write to their hearts' content using the bundled S Pen (complete with its own little sheath). When you combine that with the enhanced Samsung device compatibility, you have a good choice that is even better for people who are already deeply ingrained in the Samsung ecosystem and who have a soft spot for the clunky productivity-focused Galaxy Notes phones of yore.
Google Pixel 7 Pro
Now that it is aggressively pursuing its entry into the smartphone industry, Google is demonstrating its mettle once again. The Pixel 7 Pro is the brand's greatest phone to date, combining a top-tier camera array with 4K 60fps video recording capabilities thanks to Google's exclusive Tensor G2 engine. The Pixel line continues to provide high-quality products at prices lower than its most challenging rivals. Google and Samsung will continue to compete for the title of Android benchmark, but it is still amazing how quickly the Pixel line has risen to become one of the top Android device lines. Check out our comprehensive Pixel 7 Pro review.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
The drive by Samsung to revive the flip phone is still a little goofy, but it gets less so with each year that goes by. And 2022 seemed to be the year that the business finally got the Galaxy Z Flip right to the point where it was prepared to stand on its own beyond the novelty. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 offers simple controls and easy uses in all of its forms, which improves the smartphone user experience. Its excellent mobility also makes it ideal for taking hands-free pictures and movies. The goal of bringing the flip phone into the smartphone era is finally accomplished thanks to a redesigned screen and folding mechanism that reduces the screen crease to its least noticeable state yet. See our complete review.
Google Pixel 6A
The Google Pixel 6A is without a doubt the greatest Android smartphone under $100, and it might possibly be the best in its class overall. The Pixel 6A's performance is top-notch for the class and boasts a camera array that outweighs its sub-$500 price tag thanks to the Tensor chip featured in the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. You won't feel pressured to leave with it unless you're eager for an upgrade because Google continues to maintain the budget range of Pixel devices with upgrades for years. The Pixel 6A makes just minor sacrifices in comparison to flagship handsets, making it the ideal Android phone for individuals who don't want to spend $1,000 on a new phone. Obviously, some functions are missing here.
Apple iPhone SE (2022)
Apple's foray into the low-cost smartphone market is as tried-and-true as what its constant design conveys. Apple tossed in the A15 Bionic chip seen in the iPhone 13 series from a year ago, enhancing its performance and enabling 5G connectivity, even though it still has the same body factor as an iPhone 8. All of the fundamentals expected of a non-flagship iPhone are present, and its single back camera is more than competent of taking everyday pictures. The finest entry point into iOS phones remains this year's model, especially at half the cost of a premium iPhone, despite speculations that there won't be a new iPhone SE in 2023.
Nothing Phone 1
Nothing's arrival into the smartphone industry this year achieved exactly that; sometimes you need something to shake up a market where the same names are always mentioned. The company's Phone 1 is a welcome addition to the portfolio of low-cost phones that prioritizes aesthetics and the possibility of innovation above all else. The Phone 1's transparent glass and Glyph LED interface make it an eye-catcher in terms of aesthetics, making up for its serviceable cameras and processor that can't compete with other entries on this list. Users may receive notifications from apps, battery life, and even specific contacts, thanks to the LED array. Although the NFT Gallery app's inclusion is a little eye-roll-inducing, Nothing is being creative in how it approaches the smartphone game.
Asus Zenfone 9
The Zenfone 9 is a capable mid-range smartphone from Asus, a brand that isn't well recognized for its mobile devices. It demonstrates that bigger isn't always better. The device has a long battery life, an excellent screen refresh rate, and an innovative image stabilization feature that maintains crisp visuals. Although its 5.9-inch display is somewhat smaller than average, it has exceptional brightness. The Zenfone 9 is a comprehensive package, but there are some cons, including the fact that Verizon users cannot use it and that upgrades don't last as long as they do for other devices.
OnePlus 10T
The OnePlus 10T from this year continues OnePlus' tradition of producing high-quality smartphones in both the flagship and mid-range segments. The 10T rates among the best displays available for less than $700 thanks to its excellent 6.7-inch display and 120Hz refresh rate. It also has 5G connectivity and runs the most user-friendly version of Android on a third-party handset thanks to OnePlus' upgraded OxygenOS. Additionally, the connected charging speed is really quick.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
The Galaxy Z Fold4 is still a showpiece in Samsung's array of smartphones. As its introduction heavily emphasized the capacity to multitask, this year's entry is once again positioned as the supreme handheld productivity machine. Users now have the option to save and launch preset app combinations that they frequently use together, as well as rapidly navigate between their most used and most recently used apps, thanks to a new toolbar. Improvements were made to the phone's design as well. The phone is made lighter and the hinge is slightly smaller thanks to a new hinge design and screen retooling.
The dual-screen display is better integrated with the under-display camera, which still makes use of Samsung's upgraded nighttime photography equipment (or Nightography). Though having a little tablet in your pocket is a compelling selling feature, the Z Fold4's starting price still makes it a large ask despite the significant upgrades.
