The story
The domain. The pause. The plan.
No filler. No keyword-stuffed listicles. Real review data, short summaries that are labelled as such and link to every source, 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
- 2011
Started as a small blog covering Android and iPhone hardware. It ran for two years and built a modest audience.
- 2013
Quietly retired. The domain stayed registered, the Facebook group stayed open — and nothing else happened for twelve years.
- 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, CNET, Trusted Reviews, Notebookcheck, PCMag, Wired, The Guardian, Android Central, Expert Reviews, netzwelt, SmartWorld, Tweakers, inside digital, PC-Welt and Phonandroid — puts their scores on one scale, and shows where they agree and where they don't.
