The best smartphone of 2018: 15 top mobile phones tested and ranked

If you're after the best smartphone right now - we'll save you some trouble. It's the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus... just scroll down the page and you'll see all about just why we think that.
However, before you do that, today is the launch of the one of most powerful phones around - the Samsung Galaxy Note 9, so we urge you to check out all our lovely coverage of its arrival.
But, if you're after a phone you can buy right now, then check out the rest of this list. How did we arrive at the decisions? Well, we can tell you it's not an easy process. What matters about a smartphone is a little different to everybody - so we make sure we know these phones inside and out.
We test the quality of the screen, the battery life, the feel of the phone in the hand and the power of the camera (and plenty more besides) to find out which phone we think blends all of these together - and doesn't cost too much.
If you want something that's based entirely on price (and don't want to spend a huge amount) then we suggest you check out our list of the best budget phones of 2018 for some great ideas.
Maybe you know which operating system will suit you - in that case, look at our best iPhone or best Android phone guides. Maybe you're more of a brand loyalist though, in which case go for our list of the best Samsung phones.
Still here? Still thinking about which phone to go for? Don't worry... there are 15 excellent options to choose from.
