I test all the best Android phones every year, and these are the ones you should buy in 2025

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-21 08:00:44

It’s a funny thing, this idea of calling something the best. After all, everyone wants to think that their favorite of anything is the best — the best album, book, or cup of coffee — but that can’t always be true. And, when you apply the idea of being the best to a category as wide open as Android phones, which can come in different shapes, sizes, and prices, the task becomes even greater. However, I think I have a pretty good idea of what makes an Android phone great. I test and review dozens

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority After spending a few years setting itself up, Nothing boldly launched the Nothing Phone 3 as its top-tier flagship this week. Coming in at $799, it takes on the proper flagships from Samsung, Google, Apple, and others. While one can argue that it comes out on top against these three, Chinese competitors like OnePlus can give it a run for its money with the OnePlus 13.

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET Nothing's new flagship phone is its most expensive and risky product yet. At $799, the Nothing Phone 3 no longer undercuts its midrange competitors. Instead, the handset takes on the likes of the iPhone Pro, Pixel Pro, and Galaxy S phones of the world with a striking design, functional AI features, and fine software tuning.

Fairphone 6 gets a 10/10 on repairability

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-08-21 09:30:46

The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular than older models in the series, but it’s just as repairable. The phone picked up a perfect score in iFixit’s teardown test, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It helps that the only tool you do need — throughout the phone — is a T5 Torx screwdriver, and only seven screws sit between you and a battery swap. Fairphone itself has shown you can get from shutdown to reboot with a new cell in just two minutes, so it’s still a si
