Find the right phone

One outlier is noise. Four reviewers saying the same thing is signal.

Read the public methodology →

01 — Read

Every major review

New reviews from 15 publications are picked up automatically, and every one is linked from the phone's page.

02 — Calibrate

One common scale

Each publication scores differently, so every verdict is adjusted for how that publication usually scores before a consensus is computed.

03 — Flag

Disagreement, surfaced

Where reviewers diverge, the phone is marked — so a high average never hides a split verdict.

Entry rule

Two reviews minimum

A phone joins the rankings once at least two publications have reviewed it. No single opinion makes the list.

The domain. The pause. The plan.

No AI-generated filler. No keyword-stuffed listicles. Real data, and a public scoring method anyone can inspect.

Owned and operated by the same person since 2011. The original Facebook group is still around. Say hello: hello@bestsmartphone.com

  1. 2011

    Started as a small blog covering Android and iPhone hardware. It ran for two years and built a modest audience.

  2. 2013

    Quietly retired. The domain stayed registered, the Facebook group stayed open — and nothing else happened for twelve years.

  3. Now

    Back as an aggregator. Rather than competing with the major review publications, it reads them — Tom's Guide, TechRadar, Engadget, Digital Trends, Tech Advisor, Android Police, Pocket-lint, The Verge, Trusted Reviews, Notebookcheck, PCMag, Wired, The Guardian, Android Central and Expert Reviews — puts their scores on one scale, and shows where they agree and where they don't.
