Pixel 9

For Google Pixel 9 $ 699, Pixel 9 (9/10, wired recommends) is a great smartphone, but between Pixel 9A and Pixel 9 Pro series, it struggles to stand out. It shares many features with its pricier brothers and siblings, but you can get one Very Similar experience with Pixel 9A saving hundreds of dollars. If you love design and want new smart software features, don’t let me stop you!

Galaxy S25 Edge

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge for $ 1,100, Samsung’s latest innovation smartphone is surprisingly dropped up to 5.8 mm. It is not as impressive as the phone from the past, but the Galaxy S25 age (6/10, recommends wired) is still impressive when you keep this light 6.7-inch phone in your hand. It maintains many characteristics from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, except that there is no pen stylus, there is no telephoto camera, and the battery life is not good for this size and price phone. I had to keep it at the top of the day regularly. But if you are average to the light user, you can find it enough, and perhaps you will be able to appreciate even more thin and light shape.

Nothing for $ 379 call (3A) And Phone for $ 459 (3A) Pro, Here is another well round smartphone that does not have a high value. Nothing is the phone (3A) and the phone (3A) Pro (8/10, wired recommendations) are sub-$ 500 Android phones, and they are both fantastic. They are similar in every way except cameras, where the Pro model has little benefit in zoom and low-light capabilities. I think the phone (3A) looks good and has a better value. Run through the list of glasses and you have to work hard to find a mistake with hardware. The performance is surprisingly smooth with its 120-hurts fresh rates, and it has no struggle to look into the sun. Performance is ficked, battery life is reliable, and the quality of the camera is decent for money. There are some shortcomings-these phones are only IP64-rated, so do not leave them in the pool. There is no wireless charging, and connectivity is not comfortable. Although it will work best on T-Mobiles, you will only get 4G on Verizon and AT&T until you ask the carrier to whiten the device for 5G access. This process is disappointing.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Fe for $ 650, Samsung Galaxy S24 Fe It is now a better purchase that is difficult to find for the major Galaxy S24 chain sale. It is a fully capable smartphone with triple-camera array (including 3x telephoto camera), and it offers good performance. It has wireless charging, IP68 is water resistant, and has a day -long battery life. It is a shame that the design is a bit. Alternatively, you can try to find the major Galaxy S24 series on sale: Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+And Milky Way S24 Ultra There are still excellent equipment, but make sure you do not spend anywhere with their MSRP.

Moto G Power 2025

Motorola Moto G Power 2025 for $ 300, The new Moto G Power (7/10, wired recommendation) is not as great as its predecessor, and it comes down from a reason: due to the low chipset, there is a slight hit in the performance, and it makes a slightly more dull to use. However, the performance is quite good that you won’t feel disappointed. Outside it, it is a notable $ 300 phone. The green impure leather back leaves the luxury, and it is nice and thin. The cameras are solid, and the 6.8-inch LCD screen has a 120-martz screen refreshed rate and becomes very bright. Best of all, the company retained the wireless charging launched in the previous year’s model, one of the only sub-$ 300 phones with this feature. Another area of improvement? It is IP68/69- Rated, so you will not have to have a child near a pool; It can handle a dip properly. Motorola has also increased the software update on the Moto G series, which promises two Android OS upgrade, with a similar 3 -year security update. There is a proper amount of blotware, but you can remove most of these pre -gentle apps.

ROG phone 9

Asus Rog Phone 9 for $ 1,000, The ROG phone series is for serious gamers. There are two USB-C ports, so you can also call comfortably when using it in landscape mode for gaming. It has a headphone jack and a wife of accessories, which you can attach as a cooler and mobile controller to increase gaming experience. Unfortunately, other aspects of this phone struggle to match the high price – the software can feel clunk, and the cameras are not at all that you will expect at this price level. I also ran into some annoying insects while using Phone 9 Pro,

Minimum phone

Minimum phone for $ 399, Is it difficult to curb your screen on time? Instead of going to cold turkey with something like light phone III, try the minimum phone (6/10, wired review). It is an e-paper Android phone with a physical keyboard. The goal is to let you reach the normal Android apps, but because the screen video and most social media are ill, you will naturally be able to avoid those distractions. It is successful in this task, but continuously reduces screen ghosting and plastic manufacturing experience.
