After Samsung announced the new Galaxy S series, its biggest flagship yet - the Galaxy S25 Ultra quickly took over the overall best phone rankings.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra (starting at $1,199) benefits from hardware improvements, but it's the AI that really makes its mark. And if you don't want to spend a fortune on a flagship, the Samsung Galaxy S25 is a solid option that still offers AI features at a lower price.
Along with that, the iPhone 16 series is also highly appreciated. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is only 1 place behind Samsung's flagship. This iPhone model is also the largest iPhone in history, with an extremely high selling price - from 31.09 million VND (256GB version). Its official title is the best iPhone of the first quarter of 2025.
Pixel 9 Pro: The smartest phone. Not the more expensive models in the series like the Fold or Pro XL. This premium phone is worth buying for users who love neatness. With Apple's AI shortcomings, Google AI deserves credit, and of course, it's smartest when running on Google smartphones.
Pixel 8a: Best under $500 - Last year's Google smartphone has no competition in the segment. With a long-term software support policy, Google Pixel smartphones always get the latest operating system updates. The Tensor G3 chip is still powerful enough for heavy tasks and has an attractive price.
OnePlus 13: The best value Android flagship phone. OnePlus takes this title thanks to its top-of-the-line flagship configuration, not inferior to any other smartphone model, but only costs about 15,900,000 million VND. This price, to compare, the lowest price of Samsung S24 is 19,500,000 VND.
iPhone 16: Best Value iPhone - The lowest-spec smartphone in the series has all the features of the iPhone 16 Pro/Promax at a much lower price. The only difference is the addition of a telephoto camera. This makes the iPhone 16 worth buying and the money spent compared to what you get is quite reasonable.
Nothing Phone 3a Pro: The best value alternative phone - At just over 8 million VND, this stylish transparent phone deserves to be a backup device worth every penny. Although it is criticized as the "ugliest on earth", this design style is not pursued by any company, so Nothing Phone still maintains a separate space in the eyes of consumers.
Galaxy S25: Samsung's most affordable flagship - Despite being more expensive than similarly specced smartphones from Chinese manufacturers, the "regular" S25 is still Samsung's most affordable flagship as they've aggressively slashed the price and offered up to 7 years of software support. The S25 can do everything the Ultra can, except for the 5x Zoom, but still has 3x Zoom, which is better than the iPhone 16.
OnePlus Open: The best foldable phone - Don't be surprised if Samsung's Z Fold or Pixel Fold can't compete with One Plus in the foldable phone segment. Although it is the company's first foldable model, running on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, it has impressive smoothness and more comfortable RAM and memory. In addition, the convex camera cluster provides image quality that far surpasses its competitors, and is also certified by Hasselblad.
iPhone 16e: the most affordable AI smartphone - Owns the chassis of the iPhone 14 Pro, but has only 1 camera and is upgraded to the powerful A-18 chip. Although Apple Intelligence is currently a disappointment, with a good hardware platform supporting AI, this cheap iPhone model is just waiting for the iOS 19 puzzle to complete.
