There are still plenty of phones to look forward to this year, but it's time to reflect and turn the spotlight on some of the best phones available so far in 2023. In addition to flagships like the iPhone 14 Pro and Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra to affordable flagships and best value picks like the OnePlus 11 and the "almost flagship" Pixel 7a, I am also adding budget picks and some other categories to offer a good mix of options. We here at XDA test almost every smartphone that's released to the public, so you can count on this roundup to find the right phone that suits your budget and needs. Let's dive in!

Although Samsung built its reputation off its flagship phones, like the latest S23 Ultra, it has slowly moved its attention to budget and mid-tier smartphones as well. When it comes to handsets, Samsung definitely has a finger on the pulse of what Android users want; the South Korean electronics giant has been launching one banger after the other in recent times.

Best foldable phones in 2023

Looking for a new foldable phone? We have tested all of them and here's our guide on which foldable to get in 2023!

Foldable phones are becoming more prevalent as a serious consideration for the average consumer in 2023, but up until now, it has been mostly Samsung leading the charge. There have been a ton of different foldables debuting in Asian and European markets, but the level of competing in the North American market hasn't been up to par. That is, until now. After a slew of early summer releases, Samsung now has serious threats to its big and small foldables coming from Google and Motorola, respectively. The question is, are those challenges enough to dethrone Samsung as the leader in foldable smartphones in North America?

A fantastic deal on one of the best foldables out right now.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one of the best foldable smartphones out right now and for good reasons. The company has been building foldable smartphones for quite some time, and like clockwork, every year, it manages to produce new iterations in its Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip line, which find their way to the top of many people's "best of" lists. While having impressive specifications is one important aspect of these devices, reliability is another.

Weeks after it was first unveiled at Google I/O 2023, we're still waiting for the Google Pixel Fold to debut, thanks to the five-week waiting period for folks who pre-ordered the company's first foldable. Aside from being an appealing smartphone from Google, it's also the first big-screen foldable to challenge Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 in the U.S. As it turns out, both devices look to be some of the best foldable smartphones in 2023.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 4 is currently one of the best and most refined foldable phones you can buy in the U.S. But what if I told you Samsung doesn't actually make the most cutting-edge foldable hardware? The Z Fold 4's spot at the top has more to do with software polish and rivals' lack of market availability than the actual folding mechanism. Xiaomi's Mix Fold 2, for example, is significantly thinner; Vivo's X Fold and Huawei's Mate X2 have more advanced camera systems, and the Oppo Find N2 has a screen that is virtually crease-free. All of these phones can fold completely flat, while the Z Fold 4 still cannot. The newly launched Google Pixel Fold seems to be having some issues folding completely flat too, but I'll reserve my judgments on that for later.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one of our favorite foldables from last year.

Additionally, it has as many as five cameras in total, so it's quite versatile when it comes to all the shooting modes.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 looks very similar to its predecessor, but it comes with a lot of minor improvements, which is why it's still one of the best folding phones available. The new phone, for instance, has an upgraded display and hinge that are more durable than the ones we got in the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It's still more fragile than the regular slab phones with no moving parts, which is why we recommend getting a case for it. The last thing you want to do is get your device cracked or scratched up with day-to-day usage, right? A good case can not only keep your phone looking as good as it did the day you unboxed it, but it'll also change its overall look and feel. There are a ton of cases out there for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, so we wanted to highlight some solid options that are worth considering. Here are the best Galaxy Z Fold 4 cases you can buy in 2023:
