As the year comes to a close, we’re looking back at the Android phones that have debuted this year. As a part of that, we polled 9to5Google readers regarding their favorite smartphones of the year – here are the results.
Compared to years past, the Android market in 2023 is a lot smaller in terms of the number of new releases. Especially in the US, there are really only a handful of major players. That, combined with the fact that this is 9to5Google, it’s probably not hard to predict what the top picks were for best smartphone of 2023.
Google’s Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8 took the top spots, making up over 60% of the total votes.
Just behind that was Galaxy S23 Ultra, and also the foldable OnePlus Open, which was the top foldable pick. Rounding out the top 10 were the rest of Google’s 2023 Pixel releases, as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy S23, Nothing Phone (2), and OnePlus 11.
