 Best Smartphones of 2022: The Top 10 Contenders

The best smartphones of 2022 will be the ones that check off all the boxes on your must-have list. They’ll have the best cameras, longest battery life and most stylish design, to name just three things to look forward to in these ultra-high-tech devices down the road. Here are the 10 contenders we’re already excited about at this early stage of smartphone evolution.

1) Introduction:

When you think about the best smartphones to come out in recent years, you probably think of the Samsung Galaxy S7, the iPhone 7 and the Google Pixel. At this point in time, these are some of the most popular models on the market. It's hard to say what will happen by 2022 but we can take a look at some contenders for what might be one of these coveted spots. LG has had many great releases since their LG G6 release including the LG V30 and LG G7 ThinQ. These new phones have received rave reviews from consumers as well as critics. However, it doesn't seem that any phone has been able to reach the popularity of Apple or Samsung as both companies dominate over half of all smartphone sales worldwide according to Strategy Analytics (2018). So let's take a closer look at some potential candidates for top 10 smartphones in 2022.

2) Samsung Galaxy S30:

The Samsung Galaxy S30 will be the successor to the Galaxy S30. It has a large curved screen that wraps around both sides and is rumored to have a triple-lens camera on the back. There are also rumors that it will have an in-display fingerprint reader and a 3D face scanner, but there is no official confirmation from Samsung yet. Although it is not set for release until late 2020, it is already being hotly anticipated by consumers because of its unique design and features.

3) iPhone 13

Rumors have been swirling for months about the upcoming iPhone 13, but there is still plenty of uncertainty surrounding this device. One thing that seems to be certain, though, is that the new model will feature a 6.5-inch screen with curved edges and an OLED display, which will make it easier to hold and use one-handed. It will also come equipped with Face ID, meaning users can log in by scanning their face. 

There are rumors that Apple could introduce two versions of the phone at different price points. It's also rumored that both iPhones in 2020 will have triple-lens rear cameras (with one sensor having a telephoto lens), as well as a quadruple lens front camera.

4) Google Pixel 6

Google Pixel 6 is an Android phone that sports a 6.3 OLED screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 and a pixel density at 538 ppi. It has a very slim bezel, which allows for an 82% screen to body ratio. It has the newest Snapdragon 845 chipset and 4GB of RAM, with 128GB or 256GB of storage. The battery life on this phone is excellent, lasting up to 16 hours on regular use with the power saving mode activated. Other features include an IP68 rating, as well as both front-facing and rear-facing cameras. There is no headphone jack though, so you may need to invest in wireless headphones if you don’t want to deal with Bluetooth or something like Apple AirPods.

5) Huawei Mate 40

Huawei's Mate 40 is the most expensive handset on this list, but it offers a solid mix of features and hardware. With a Snapdragon 855 processor and up to 12GB of RAM, it should be able to handle anything you throw at it. You'll also get a 6.4-inch OLED display with 3120 x 1440 pixel resolution, along with an in-display fingerprint scanner that is accurate and easy to use. The battery life will be strong as well thanks to its 4500mAh capacity, which means all day usage for those who need more power than the average user. Huawei doesn't have a good track record for software updates, though, so keep that in mind if you're considering getting one of these.

6) Xiaomi Mi Mix 4

Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is rumored to be a cheaper variant of the Mi Mix 3. It will not have wireless charging, but will have an in-display fingerprint sensor and a pop-up selfie camera. It is expected to be released in October 2019.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix 4 is expected to release on October 17, 2019 for about $650 USD. It will not have wireless charging and will instead feature an in-display fingerprint sensor and a pop-up selfie camera. It will launch with Android 9.0 Pie and may come preloaded with a custom version of MIUI that is lighter than previous versions and faster than others currently available. 

Mi Mix 4 may come in two colors: silver and champagne gold. 

The phone's power button has been moved to the right side of the device.

7) Oppo Find X3

The Oppo Find X3 is an unlocked phone that's compatible with GSM carriers. It features a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a pixel density of 401 ppi. Powering this device is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, paired with 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. A microSD card slot can be used to expand the storage up to 256 GB, but there are no SIM card slots for adding additional lines. There's also a triple camera setup on the back, consisting of 12 MP main sensor (with OIS), 16 MP wide-angle sensor and 12 MP telephoto sensor. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac dual band support, NFC support, 4G LTE data connectivity and fingerprint scanner on the rear panel.

8) Oneplus 8T

Oneplus is a popular Chinese smartphone manufacturer with the motto Never Settle. They were the first company to release a phone with an in-display fingerprint sensor. Their newest phone, the Oneplus 8T has just been released and is expected to be one of the top contenders for best phone in 2022. It features many similar features as the iPhone XS Max such as the notchless display and Face ID, but at a fraction of the price. It also has a more powerful camera that takes amazing pictures. The only downside is that it only supports Android 9 Pie out of the box. The battery life could also use some work because it’s not too good right now. However, if you are looking for a cheap yet high quality phone this might be perfect for you.

9) Sony Xperia 1 III

Sony's newest contender for the title of best smartphone in 2022 is the Sony Xperia 1 III. This sleek and powerful Android phone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, giving it more than enough power to handle any app or game. Plus, its 6-inch OLED screen is perfect for watching Netflix while you wait at the airport. It also features dual 12-megapixel rear cameras with zoom and autofocus capability, as well as an 8MP front camera with wide angle lens. Add to that a 3240mAh battery, so you can watch all the content you want without worrying about running out of juice halfway through your flight! Sony have finally caught up to Apple in terms of design and processing power with their new model, making them one of the most desirable smartphones on the market right now. If only they could get their act together when it comes to updates...
