As per survey, our best smartphone list brings you 15 of the top phones available right now, but if you already have your mobile OS allegiance set you may want to check out either our ranking of the best Android phones or best iPhones.

If what's on offer in our best smartphone list is a little too pricey for your taste, then don't fear, as we've also got a list of the best cheap phones available right now.

Toward the end of 2019, our best phone ranking witnessed a big shake-up with five new entries appearing in the list. Those included the Google Pixel 4 XL, OnePlus 7T Pro, Oppo Reno 10x Zoom, OnePlus 7T and Asus Zenfone 6. That followed on from the introduction of the iPhone 11 series and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 products.

A shake-up is likely coming again soon with Mobile World Congress and the new Galaxy S20 launch set for February this year. Both those events are likely to see new entries into this list, so you may want to hold off upgrading just yet.

We know that it's not all about the high-cost, super spec phones all the time so we've made you a handy list of all the top smartphones that you can get on the market right now, assessing what really matters to you.

We test these phones rigorously, making sure that we check every angle and feature - but most importantly, considering whether they've got a decent battery, great screen, strong design and a cracking camera.

On top of that, they can't be too exorbitant in price either - not everyone wants or can afford a supercar of a handset, so we've made sure there are plenty of options for you there.

Our best phone list has never looked better, so let's get started on our list of the top 15 handsets. You can see them quickly below, and then we're set to talk you through the very best phone in the world right now.

1- Samsung Galaxy S10/S10 Plus

The best smartphones around

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus (Prism Black, 128 GB)

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the best smartphone available right now, still. That covers both the S10 and the larger Galaxy S10 Plus, as there's very little difference between the two handsets aside from size.

They take the very best of what's on the smartphone market and put it together in a compelling package that we loved testing.

Screen:     The Super AMOLED display has been measured as the very best around, with super colors, great dynamic range and, essentially, the very best viewing experience you can have on a mobile phone. Plus, there's a fingerprint scanner embedded in the display.

Battery life:     The battery life on the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus is an improvement over the S9 series, thanks to the larger batteries inside. They easily reach bedtime with double digits still left in the tank.

They also offer Samsung's Wireless Power Share, allowing you to wirelessly charge other devices on the rear of the handsets.

Camera:      The trio of cameras on the S10 and S10 Plus are among the best on the market, building on the excellent setup on the S9 series by offering more features, shooting modes and overall clarity.

Mini verdict:    The S10 and S10 Plus are packed full of the best Samsung has to offer, and it comes together to give you the best smartphone experience around right now. If we had to pick one, we'd go for the bigger screen, larger battery and dual selfie snappers of the Galaxy S10 Plus, but both phones deserve their best phone crown.
