+Topic: Best Android phones
+Description:
+The best Android phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and the Google Pixel 8 Pro, offer versatile camera setups, flagship power, strong battery life, robust security and extra features including AI support. If you’re seeking the innovative foldable phones, you can’t go wrong with our best foldable pick, the Oneplus Open, which is also our pick for the best smartphone you can buy right now. After extensive research and testing, we’ve chosen the best Android phones you can get today.
+
+Best Android Phone Overall: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
+Best Value Android Phone: Oneplus 12
+Best Android Phone Under $500: Oneplus 12R
+Best Foldable Android Phone: Oneplus Open
+Best Mid-Range Android Phone: Google Pixel 8
+Best Android Phone With Extended Battery: Motorola Moto G Power 5G
+Best Compact Android Phone: Motorola Razr+
+Best Android Phone For AI: Google Pixel 8 Pro
+
+Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
+Display size: 6.8-inch | Display type: 1,440 x 3,120-pixel Dynamic AMOLED, up to 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate | RAM: 12 GB | Storage: 256 GB, 512 GB and 1 TB | Battery: 5,000 mAh | Dimensions: 6.4 x 3.1 x 0.3 inches | Weight: 8.2 ounces | Front camera: 12 megapixels | Rear camera: 12 megapixels (ultra-wide), 200 megapixels, 50 megapixels 5x optical and 10 megapixels 3x optical zoom, 100x Space Zoom | Charging: 45 W wired, 10 W wireless | Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
+
+Best for: Enjoying a bright display as well as a strong, smooth performance.
+
+The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is the most expensive “candy bar” Android phone in the market—and with good reason. There are plenty of AI features on Samsung’s 2024 flagship that make it the top pick, including Circle To Search and Generative AI in its photo library app, Gallery. The latter is better than the Google Pixel 7 Pro at using AI to complete your background when the subject is moved, whereas Circle to Search feels intuitive to use.
+
+Camera-wise, the addition of 5x optical zoom brings in more room to play with different focal lengths in the portrait mode. The high megapixel numbers on the primary camera translate to gorgeous photos that come out sharp in vivid, also in part thanks to AI. The night mode, called Nightography, is much improved, too. However, the 3x telephoto camera is aging, and the difference is noticeable in low-light 3x zoom shots.
+
+The fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor offers smooth performance. Having tested the device, we liked interacting with it better than the iPhone because of the fast animations. The vibrant QHD+ display with an adaptive 120 Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits is enhanced with the new Gorilla Armor protection. It offers a more boxy design that’s comfortable to hold, despite the size, too.
+
+What our editors say: In her review of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, tech editor Rebecca Isaacs says, “By far, the AI integrations, which include analyzing your photos and optimizing them even before you snap them, were my favorite features on this device. I snapped shots of the Winchester Mystery House at night on both the S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra and compared them in real-time. The Nightography looks much clearer and more focused, with high detail and more vivid coloring compared to the S23 Ultra’s lens. I appreciated being able to see the blue gradient of the dusky sky more clearly on the S24 Ultra as well as the bright paint hues on the quirky home’s siding.”
+
+Pros:
+
+Smooth performance thanks to the upgraded processor
+A few AI features make a difference
+Versatile camera setup
+Cons:
+
+Titanium build doesn’t offer a lighter design
+
+Oneplus 12
+Display size: 6.8-inch | Display type: 3168 x 1440-pixel AMOLED, up to 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate | RAM: 12 GB and 16 GB | Storage: 256 GB and 512 GB | Battery: 5,400 mAh | Dimensions: 6.5 x 2.9 x 0.4 inches | Weight: 7.8 ounces | Front camera: 32 megapixels | Rear camera: 50 megapixels (wide), 48 megapixels (ultra-wide), 64 megapixels (telephoto) | Charging: 80 W wired / 50 W wireless | Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | OS: OxygenOS 14
+
+Best for: A versatile Android device that costs less than $1,000.
+
+The Oneplus 12 features a bigger display than its predecessor, the Oneplus 11, but that doesn’t affect the comfortable in-hand feel of the phone. The new design, featuring a textured, Flowy Emerald color variant, feels lighter to hold.
+
+The 6.8-inch AMOLED display is sharp and supports up to 4,500 nits of peak brightness for HDR content, but you only notice it while watching that supported content. For everyday use, it can go up to 1,600 nits, which makes it easy to read your display in direct sunlight. While it has a water droplet-repellant feature called Aqua Touch, which prevents false touches during rainfall or when you’re near the swimming pool, the phone itself only has a IP65 rating.
+
+The cameras showcase detailed images under most conditions. Plus, the portrait mode gives you a better, more natural bokeh than before. And of course, based on testing, the ultrawide camera is one of the best in any phone right now. The addition of the Oneplus Open’s telephoto camera means you get great 3x optical zoom shots.
+
+The high-speed storage, latest and greatest Qualcomm processor and fast UI animations work together to offer an amazing experience. Plus, the device has one of the biggest batteries on the market, lasting all-day daily during a weeklong testing period.
+
+What the editors say: Gear editor Cam Vigliotta is also a tech expert and reviewed the Oneplus 12. One of its most powerful features, he felt, is the battery, which, “easily gets through a day of regular use. In my experience, the battery lasts up to 36 hours under normal use, and power saving mode can push that figure to over 48 hours with limited use. I’ve yet to quantify exactly how long a charge lasts, but as someone who regularly uses their phone to stream, text, call and scroll social media, I haven’t once wished the Oneplus 12 had better battery life. It just keeps going.”
+
+Pros:
+
+Brightest display for HDR content
+Fastest wireless charging on the market
+Excellent cameras
+Cons:
+
+Low-light selfies could be better
+IP rating could be higher
+
+Oneplus 12R
+Display size: 6.8-inch | Display type: 2780 x 1264-pixel AMOLED, up to 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate | RAM: 8 GB and 16 GB | Storage: 128 GB and 256 GB | Battery: 5,500 mAh | Dimensions: 6.4 x 2.9 x 0.3 inches | Weight: 7.3 ounces | Front camera: 16 megapixels | Rear camera: 50 megapixels (wide), 8 megapixels (ultra-wide), 2 megapixels (macro) | Charging: 80 W wired | Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | OS: OxygenOS 14
+
+Best for: Getting a well-rounded device with plenty of storage and RAM.
+
+The Oneplus 12R redefines what to expect from a sub-$500 phone. It features a big 6.7-inch display, which offers a good display with support for HDR10+ content. It’s powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, 2023’s flagship chip. While the processor might be last year’s model, it still brings powerful performance to the sub-$500 category. It’s also paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and 128 GB or 256 GB of storage, plenty for daily use. Keep in mind that the 256GB will cost an extra $100.
+
+The 50 MP primary camera snaps decent enough photos but misses out on the Hasselbland color science, which is a given for the price. The other two cameras, an ultrawide and a macro lens, aren’t worth talking about, and you’re likely not going to use them. The 80 W super fast charging is reliable when you’re running out of charge but are in a hurry.
+
+Pros:
+
+Flagship performance
+Affordable
+Decent primary camera
+Cons:
+
+Bad ultrawide and macro cameras
+
+Oneplus Open
+Display size: 6.3-inch (external cover), 7.8-inch (internal folding screen) | Display type: LPTO3 AMOLED 120 Hz | RAM: 16 GB | Storage: 512 GB | Battery: 4,805 mAh | Dimensions: 6.0 x 2.8 x 0.4-inches (folded), 6.0 x 5.6 x 0.2-inches (unfolded) | Weight: 8.4 ounces |  Front camera: 9.5 megapixels | Rear camera: 48 megapixels (main), 48 megapixels (ultra-wide), 64 megapixels with 3x optical zoom, 32 megapixels outer selfie| Inner camera: 20 megapixels | Charging: Wired only | Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 | OS: OxygenOS 13.2 based on Android 13
+
+Best for: Having a powerful tablet/smartphone combination at your fingertips.
+
+Oneplus took the market by surprise this year when it launched its new foldable, the Oneplus Open, and for a first generation folding device, it doesn’t feel like a first-gen. The developers put a lot of thought into its user-friendly software and a nearly creaseless inner screen, and the end result is a premium foldable phone. The battery lasts for up to a full day, and during our testing, we found that the features for the price—around $300 less compared to the competition—balanced out to provide great value.
+
+The camera set also gives you lenses that are strong and provide detailing that will suit for your social feeds or capturing memories, too. While it doesn’t feature wireless charging, the phone offers fast charging that can get you from a low battery to 100% in around 40 minutes. And, something else to keep in mind: the water and dust resistance do not rival what its competitors, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Google Pixel Fold come with.
+
+What the writers say: Forbes Vetted contributor and mobile expert Prakhar Khanna reviewed the Oneplus Open when it debuted, saying “The Open, on the other hand, hits the ground running. The Open comes with a virtually negligible crease. You can hardly feel it, much less see it, when fully open... The new Oneplus phone ticks all of these boxes, which makes it the best book-style foldable amongst the three book-like foldables on the market right now. Weighing 239 grams, the Oneplus Open is lighter than the competition and more comfortable to hold.”
+
+Pros:
+
+User-friendly software
+A great camera lens set
+Great two-in-one design
+Cons:
+
+No wireless charging
+Expensive
+
+Google Pixel 8
+Display size: 6.2-inch | Display type: 1,080 x 2,400 pixel OLED Actua display, up to 120 Hz refresh rate | RAM: 8 GB | Storage: 128 GB or 256 GB | Battery: 4,575 mAh | Dimensions: 5.9 x 2.8 x 0.4 inches | Weight: 6.6 ounces | Front camera: 10.5 megapixels | Rear cameras: 50 megapixels (wide), 12 megapixels (ultra-wide), up to 8x zoom | Processor: Google Tensor G3, Titan M2 security chip | OS: Android
+
+Best for: Apps and photography on a smaller, general-purpose Android phone.
+
+Making its debut at Made By Google 2023, the Google Pixel 8 enters the market at a reasonable starting price of $699, making the handset an affordable, mid-range smartphone. The Google Pixel 8 doesn’t come with the larger display, RAM or storage options of the Google Pixel 8 Pro, but it is still a worthy smartphone. It comes with either 128 GB or 256 GB storage and in one of three colors: hazel, obsidian, or rose. 
+
+The camera capabilities are impressive, with a reasonable fixed-focus 10.5 megapixel front camera and two back cameras to choose from: A 50 megapixel wide camera or a 12 megapixel ultra-wide option, both offering 8x zoom. As a bonus, this Android smartphone has an excellent array of security features, powered by the Titan M2 chip. They include a biometric fingerprint reader, face unlock, system intelligence and anti-malware protection.
+
+What our editors say: Tech editor Rebecca Isaacs went hands-on with the device, saying, “I loved the form factor of the new Google Pixel 8 device. It felt light and comfortable to hold in my hand, During my hands-on, I enjoyed snapping quick images with the improved camera for enhanced photos and speedy tap responses powered by the new chip.” If you’re still not sure, you can also read Rebecca’s full review of the device.
+
+Pros:
+
+New, bright 6.2-inch Actua display
+A vast array of security features, by default
+Powered by Google Tensor G3
+Cons:
+
+Lacks telephoto lens
+Limited storage options available
+
+Motorola Moto G Power 5G
+Display size: 6.5-inch | Display type: IPS LCD | RAM: 6 GB | Storage: 256 GB | Battery: 5,000 mAh | Dimensions: 6.4 x 2.9 x 0.3 inches | Weight: 6.5 ounces | Front camera: 16 megapixels| Rear camera: 50 megapixels (main), 2 megapixels (macro) | Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 930 | OS: Android 13
+
+Best for: Extended battery life.
+
+The Motorola Moto G Power 5G phone has one really special feature going for it—an extended 5,000 mAh battery—more than we typically see on a phone. You also get a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. The phone’s stereo speaker system supports Dolby Atmos, too.
+
+The Moto G Power 5G has two throwbacks—a 3.5 mm headphone jack (a rare find these days on phones) and a microSD card slot, so you can expand storage with up to a 1 TB memory card. And for security, you can use the fingerprint scanner, face recognition or a standard PIN. Motorola plans to provide three years of security updates, but only guarantees one operating system update. Another gotcha: Its cameras only capture 1080p video, not 4K. Choose between mineral black or bright white for your phone’s casing color.
+
+Pros:
+
+Inexpensive
+Has a high-capacity battery
+Built-in microSD slot
+Cons:
+
+Water-repellent, not waterproof
+Lacks 4K video capture
+No wireless charging
+
+Motorola Razr+
+Display size: 3.6-inch (external), 6.9-inch (internal, unfolded) | Display type: OLED | RAM: 8 GB | Storage: 256 GB | Battery: 3,800 mAh | Dimensions: 6.7 x 2.9 x 0.3 inches | Weight: 6.6 ounces | Front camera: 32 megapixels | Rear camera: 12 megapixels (main), 13 megapixels (ultra-wide + macro) | Processor: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 | OS: Android 13
+
+Best for: Enjoying a powerful device that can tuck away into your pocket.
+
+The Motorola Razr+ starts as a compact size that fits easily in a pocket, but it flips open to reveal a large 6.9-inch display. It runs Android 13 using the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. While the camera array could offer higher resolutions, this phone easily handles tasks like video calls. It offers a decent IP52 waterproof rating, so the phone can handle some dust and moisture, but it’s not meant for submersion in water.
+
+One improvement? The external OLED display is larger than before. Now a full 3.6 inches, the screen takes up nearly the entire clamshell panel. You can keep the phone closed and still take full advantage of many of the phone’s features. The folding design makes it easy to hold the phone in your hand, or position it on a flat surface while being able to adjust the viewing angle. The 165 Hz refresh rate of the interior 6.9-inch OLED display is impressive, especially when gaming. And if you choose to stream video, you get HDR10+ and DCI-P3 support that enhances picture quality.
+
+Pros:
+
+6.9-inch folding OLED display with 165Hz refresh rate
+Portable and compact design
+Dolby Atmos audio support
+Cons:
+
+Water resistance could be better
+Cameras resolutions are less lower than competitors
+
+Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5
+Display size: 6.7-inch (main), 3.4-inch (front) | Display type: 2,640 x 1,080-pixel AMOLED display, up to 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate (main) / 720 x 748-pixel (front) | RAM: 8 GB | Storage: 256 GB | Battery: 3,700 mAh | Dimensions: 6.5 x 2.8 x 0.2 inches (unfolded), 3.3 x 2.8 x 0.5 inches (folded) | Weight: 6.6 ounces | Front camera: 10 megapixels | Rear camera: 12 megapixels (wide), 12 megapixels (ultra-wide) | Charging: 25 W wired, 15 W wireless | Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy | OS: Android 13
+
+Best for: Unique, hands-free camera angles in a full-featured, pocket-size phone.
+
+Traditional phone designs make it difficult to fit in a pocket or prop up on a flat surface without the use of an optional stand. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s design addresses both these issues. When opened, the main screen is a tall, 6.7-inch AMOLED display. But the phone folds closed to fit inside the palm of your hand. That design can prop the Z Flip 5 up as a tent or fold the phone into an L-shape using half of the body as a base. These configurations open up a world of new camera angles, as well as the flexibility to take pictures without having to hold the camera yourself or set it up on a tripod.
+
+The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 features a big cover display like the Motorola Razr+, which makes it the most meaningful upgrade over the predecessor. You can choose from 256 GB or 512 GB of storage with 8 GB RAM. For most users, we recommend going with the base 256GB option. But if you’re a power user, choose the 512 GB configuration to ensure you have plenty of storage for your photos, videos, apps, files and related content. The hinge feels sturdy, and the phone has an IP68 water resistance rating. This phone stands out for its folding design, yet it’s able to do everything a typical Android phone can handle.
+
+What our editors say: In her review of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, tech editor Rebecca Isaacs says, “One of the largest upgrades you’ll find on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is the enhanced Flex Window (the screen that’s facing out when the phone is closed). It has three times more screen compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. As a result, I could respond to texts from that tiny but mighty screen, review my notifications and more. Additionally, Samsung has enhanced some of its widgets to allow you to check your calendar, alarms, the weather and your Samsung health stats without opening the phone.”
+
+Pros:
+
+Compact design with handy cover display
+Solid cameras for content capture
+Tight hinge lets you prop up the device at any angle you want
+Cons:
+
+Less advanced rear cameras
+
+Google Pixel 8 Pro
+Display size: 6.7-inch | Display type: 1,344 x 2,992 pixel Super Actua OLED display, up to 120Hz refresh rate | RAM: 12GB | Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, or 1 TB | Battery: 5,050 mAh | Dimensions: 6.4 x 3 x 0.3 inches | Weight: 7.5 ounces | Front camera: 10.5 megapixels | Rear cameras: 50 megapixels (wide), 48 megapixels (ultra-wide), 48 megapixels (telephoto), up to 30x zoom | Processor: Google Tensor G3, Titan M2 security chip | OS: Android
+
+Best for: Fans of using AI to enhance their screen time.
+
+Google has keenly emphasized the place of artificial intelligence in modern smartphones, and as such, the new flagship device, the Google Pixel 8 Pro, has been designed around the concept. It comes in a variety of colors (obsidian, porcelain and bay blue) and with up to 1TB storage. As it’s set to run AI-powered apps, Google has bumped up the handset’s memory to 12GB RAM.
+
+A focus on AI means that there needs to be a processor able to support them. As a result, the Pixel 8 Pro is powered by the new Google Tensor G3, a chip able to handle advanced natural language processing and speech recognition, thereby boosting the capabilities of Google Assistant. 
+
+Furthermore, you can expect great photo and video capture, supported by AI and Google’s upgraded wide, ultra-wide and telephoto lens selection. 
+
+What our editors say: Tech editor Rebecca Isaacs went hands-on with the device, saying, “Google’s emphasis on AI applications in the Google Pixel 8 Pro mean that pictures will look great and you can easily adjust them before posting on your socials. The display looked bright and I enjoyed how speedy responses were with the new Google Tensor G3 chip.”
+
+Pros:
+
+A bright, modern 6.7-inch display
+Plenty of built-in security features
+Powered by Google Tensor G3
+Cons:
+
+Heavier than other models
+Expensive at higher storage capacities
+

 Topic: The best phones you can buy
 Description:
 With dozens of smartphones on the market today, it's not always easy to choose the best phone for you -- especially if you prefer Android over iOS. That's why ZDNET's done all the work for you. Over the past year, I've tested and reviewed just about every major smartphone released by Apple, Samsung (including the new Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6), Google, OnePlus, and others to curate this definitive list of the best handsets available right now.
