Smartphones aren't exactly thrilling purchases. Glass rectangles primarily used for messaging, YouTube, social media, and photos – essential, yes, but expensive if you want the latest models. This guide prioritizes value over price, highlighting the best smartphones available.

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: Our top choice. See it at Amazon

Value is subjective. Some prioritize photography, others gaming performance, or display quality. We've tested phones across these categories, offering a blend of Android and iOS options, balancing features and price without compromising usability. Older models, with price reductions, are also considered.
