Top-Rated Phones, Ranked
If you don’t mind Sony’s design choices, the XA2 is one of their strongest mid-tier phones yet. While it doesn’t excel at any one thing, it offers decent battery life, solid performance, and a detailed — albeit slow launching — camera at a respectable price.
Otherwise, if you want something capable and lighter than the A72, this is comparable in just about every way.
A gaming powerhouse with standout cooling, offering high performance but average camera abilities.
The Xiaomi 12 Pro packs a lot of punch and performance while dropping off the camera game, and because of it, all the battery suffers massively.
If you’re looking for a solid option for everyday use, don’t need powerhouse flagship performance, and are not worried about the weak camera the Moto G6 offers outstanding value and is the sweet spot in Motorola’s latest G-Series lineup.
