The month of May is here and we feel now is the best time to present a chart of the best smart devices we have reviewed so far. So far 25 smartphones have been reviewed with each having its own strengths and weaknesses. The scores below are based on the average score of each element of the device. We do not comment on whether a smartphone is "worth it or not" to buy because "worth it" varies greatly from person to person.
We will only announce the best devices at the end of the year as usual. In this list, worthwhile elements will be taken into account in the Best Value Device category later. So below is a chart of the best reviewed smartphones in 2023. Some devices are missing because we didn't receive them or weren't given the chance to review them. Use the chart below as a yardstick of which device is most compatible with your needs and compare it to the price to see if it's worth it or not.
