It seems that Android phones have always existed – since the launch of Google’s mobile operating system in 2008, dozens of manufacturers of phones have adopted the software to give life to their phones.
Through 17 years and 15 numbered versions, Android has become a pillar of the world of telephone and modern life itself. It is extremely likely that you know someone who uses an Android phone-that is to say if you are not one of the three billion people who use it themselves.
Android is loved by fans for personalization and variety, each phone manufacturer designing a personalized “wrapper” for Android with unique features and aesthetic. With Android 16 at the corner of the street, it seems that it is the right time to ask you, Techradar readers, to share your favorite Android handset so far.
This raises the question of which Android phone is really the best of all time – of course, our guide for the best Android phones can tell you the choices of Techradar for the best handsets currently available, but this is not quite the question we ask here.
Instead, we seek to discover which Android phone is the real people’s champion, taking into account his impact at the time, the heritage he left and the ways he innovated to bring something new to Android experience.
This means that we are not just looking for the best specifications sheet – if that were the case, the current harvest of Samsung, Google, OnePlus and Xiaomi flagship devices would probably come out in mind.
Instead, we want to know which Android phone comes to mind as an example of technological grandeur. Or simply the one you enjoyed the most – that he came out this year, or the entire path of the launch of Android 1.0.
And there is also the simple fact that there were simply not enough of us here in Techradar to say which Android phone is the best Never. A pinch of democracy should do the trick.
Do you already have a favorite Android phone? Do not hesitate to go directly to the comments and let us know.
If you are still undecided, no stress – there are certainly a lot of big phones to choose. Here are some to help you start:
Our choice for the best global Android phone on the market right now is the OnePlus 13, an absolute power of one of the most avant-garde phones.
As mentioned, it is not necessary to limit yourself to the most recent phones – in fact, certain combined years spent by sporting features that you simply do not find elsewhere. There is the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, which was the first handset to introduce a 10x telephoto lens, the LG wing with its strange rotary display, the HTC One Cult-Classic HTC One with its all metal design.
The list continues; The Google Pixel 6 was the first phone properly all Google thanks to its owner chipset, the telephone Nothing 1 was held against the boring phone design with its LED glyphs, while the fold of Samsung Galaxy had such an impact that it generated the folding phone market.
Apple followed a minimalist design philosophy of the very first years of the iPhone, so Android has always been the house of strange and wonderful combinations which push the technical limits and adopt unusual ideas. Above, some reminders, but we have just scratched the surface.
So, whether you are swayed with a new Google Pixel 9 or an imported Xiaomi phone, you can’t wait for the next Asus Rog phone or you hoped for a Samsung Galaxy Note return, we want to hear from you. Let us know your choice for the best Android phone of all time in the comments below.
