Best Smartphone 2016

The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is the best mobile phone you can buy in the world today, but it’s far from your only choice. To help you form a purchasing decision we weigh up your best phone options and consider some of the best Android phones, best iPhones and best Windows phones available in the world in 2016 - best smartphone reviews.

 

The smartphone industry is set to grow by 10 percent in 2016 with more than 1.5 billion phones sold (source), but only one of those sales is important to you. We help you choose your new smartphone, with our guide to the 20 best phones you can buy in the UK in 2016. When we review smartphones we take into account their build quality and design, ease of use, features, performance and value, although the latter isn’t always such a big deal when it comes to a phone you are most likely to buy on a contract. Generally speaking a flagship phone will cost between £500- and £600, or between £40- and £50 per month on a contract. If you are buying SIM-free then you should also check out our best SIM-only deals.
Value becomes more important when you consider older-generation phones. For example, we still think the Samsung Galaxy S6 is better than many of the phones in this chart, especially when you consider that it’s now available under £400 SIM-free. However, we move all older-generation smartphones to our best old phones chart, and you’ll now find the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge sitting at the top of this best phones chart. We also have a best budget phones round-up if you're looking to minimise costs .
