Samsung's do-everything Android flagship
The most versatile Android flagship — brilliant camera hardware and productivity tools, but Galaxy AI still overpromises. Best for power users who want the S Pen.
Galaxy AI is genuinely useful for translation and note-taking; camera is still the star.
It's the best Ultra yet, but if you have an S24 Ultra there's not much reason to upgrade.
The best Android camera, now with Gemini everywhere.
AI: Buy if you want the best point-and-shoot camera on Android and don't game heavily.
Apple's most refined pro phone
The default Android phone.
AI: Buy for the best mainstream Android experience under $800.
Flagship performance at a subsidized price.
AI: Buy for raw performance per dollar; skip if you need long update support.
Leica quad-camera monster with a variable aperture.
AI: Buy if photography is priority one and you can live with limited US carrier support.
Big screen, big battery, standard iPhone.
AI: Buy if you want an iPhone with all-day battery and don't need 120Hz.
