We fully test every phone we can get our hands on here at Digital Trends, and after conducting hundreds of reviews, we're confident in recommending whether a particular phone is a good buy for you. After much debate and soul searching, we landed on the Apple iPhone 13 Pro as our top pick for the best phone available right now. One phone doesn't fit everyone's needs, so we have plenty of other great picks depending on what you're looking for. Android fans will love the Galaxy S22 Ultra , and those looking to save money, or get a smaller phone, have lots of choices as well. Here’s why the iPhone 13 Pro ultimately triumphed, and our picks for other smartphone categories. Of course, picking the best smartphone is only part of the battle — once you've decided which one is for you, you also need to buy it.

Discontinued for a reason “Since Sony discontinued the Xperia Compact line, no other Android phone maker has had the courage to make a small premium Android phone. It’s up to us to change that,” the page reads. It’s a strange request.
