Best Cell Phones and Smartphones 2023
1st – Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Best Cell Phones and Smartphones 2023 Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Samsung displaces all phones on our list, taking 1st place as the best phone. It has impressive quality, both in its performance and in its finish. The processor is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, there is 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage. All this makes the games and applications run very well, without any type of crash. Its AMOLED technology screen is 6.8 inches, resolution of 1440 x 3080 pixels and 120Hz. In it, you can view very well not only movies and series but also all the incredible photos and videos that you can record with the device.
We also couldn’t stop talking about the lithium battery with 4352 mAh, eliminating the need to look for sockets several times during the day. And if you’re one of those people who like to stay organized and productive, you can use the stylus that comes with your smartphone to take notes. The device recognizes the pen and the user’s hand, so if you touch the palm, it will not leave the screen or errors will occur. Best Smartwatch for Man 2023
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is the ideal cell phone for those who want maximum quality in all aspects, whether in photographs, battery life, or even design. The only feature we don’t like is its price, which is around R$7,000, which we consider quite high.
2nd – Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max
Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max According to our review, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is the best iPhone currently available. Apple’s top-of-the-line has monstrous performance, excellent quality workmanship, absurd cameras, and good battery life. The processor is an A15 Bionic from Apple itself, and the cell phone also has 6GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. Don’t worry about speed, no application or game is capable of causing slowdowns on this hardware. Read More
The model is probably one of the highest-performing smartphones today. The screen is 6.7 inches, with 1284 x 2778 resolution, Super Retina XDR OLED technology, and 120Hz refresh rate. It is a really beautiful screen, almost perfect, sharp, and with an excellent color pattern. The cameras don’t disappoint either. They are professional-level lenses, the results are excellent both in photos and in filming.
Apple used to disappoint when it came to the battery life of its cell phones. Well, that has changed, this one manages to stay away from the socket for a long time and is one of the best in this regard among the top-of-the-line. The biggest negative points of the model are, obviously, its very high price and the fact that it does not bring the charger source in the box. So, in addition to spending good money on your smartphone, you’ll need to invest in a charger if you don’t have one.
3° – Apple iPhone 13 Mini
Apple iPhone 13 Mini Many consumers do not like cell phones with large screens, to serve these people we added the iPhone 13 Mini, the best small cell phone, to the ranking. Despite its reduced size, this device has very advanced features, which make it not lose anything compared to larger devices. It has an Apple A15 Bionic processor, 4GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage space. This set allows the iPhone 13 Mini to smoothly run any application, even the heaviest games.
However, the reduced size screen greatly detracts from the gaming experience, so depending on what you are looking for, this can be both a positive and a negative aspect. The display is only 5.42 inches, but the quality is great, with Full HD+ 1080 x 2340 resolution and Super Retina XDR OLED technology. The refresh rate is only 60Hz, but a refresh rate higher than that wouldn’t even make sense on a cell phone with the purpose of the iPhone 13 Mini. We also really like the cameras on this iPhone, there are two 12 MP rear cameras and a 12 MP front camera.
But don’t be fooled by the megapixels, the photographs are of really exceptional quality, as are practical all the brand’s models. The biggest disappointment of this little one in our opinion is the battery. There are only 2438 mAh, which results in autonomy that is not horrible but is well below many competitors. Another weak point of the iPhone 13 Mini is the high price, but we are used to that when we talk about Apple devices in Brazil. And, of course, it also does not come with a charger.
4° – Apple iPhone 11
Apple iPhone 11 In Apple’s catalog, the iPhone 11 is now the best value-for-money iPhone. Its premium standard follows the brand’s other devices, leaving no room for complaints. The processor is an A13 Bionic, with 4GB of RAM and up to 512GB of memory if you’re willing to pay extra for it. The screen is 6.1 inches and has a resolution of 828 x 1792 pixels, which means that you can enjoy the photos and videos recorded with your camera very well.
And speaking of it, the front camera of this cell phone is 12 MP, and the rear is composed of two, each also with 12 MP. One of the biggest advantages of the iPhone 11 is that it does not reach prices as high as the 12 and 13, but it also has new technologies and improvements compared to older versions. Like, for example, improving your battery, which now has much more autonomy.
But its cons are the same as other models: not being cheap and not having a charging source. although it is not the most expensive iPhone, cheap is not a term that fits the model, but despite that, we consider it the best value among them so far.
5° – Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE made the list for being a cost-effective premium model. It is the combination of an attractive price and advanced features, which puts it in a very good position compared to other smartphones. Its processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, it has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, which gives it good performance and plenty of internal space. Performance is great, the S20 FE smoothly runs even the heaviest apps on the Play Store.
On the 6.5-inch screen, Full HD+ 1080 x 2400 resolution, and Super AMOLED technology, you can view your photos, videos, movies, and series well. The colors are very bright and the images are very sharp. And to make it even better, the screen has a refresh rate of 120Hz, great for those looking for fluidity in more hardcore games.
Another point that pleased us a lot was the cameras of the S20 FE: three rear lenses of 12, 12, and 8 MP, and a front of 32 MP. So they have excellent quality both in landscape photos and selfies, with plenty of details and vivid colors. But since nothing is perfect, our opinion is that its battery life could be better. The model has only 4,500 mAh, which it loses compared to competitors in the same price range. But overall, if you’re looking for a premium smartphone and want to pay a fair price, the S20 FE won’t make you regret it.
6° – Xiaomi Redmi Note 11
Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Xiaomi could not be left off our list, the Redmi Note 11 emerges as the best cost-effective cell phone. Its processor is a Snapdragon 680, it has 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. Enough hardware for the vast majority of activities, even for games with slightly more elaborate graphics. The Redmi Note 11 is also not bad in terms of camera quality. For selfies, it has 13 MP, while its rear is quadruple: 50 MP in the main camera, 8 MP in the ultra-wide angle, 2 MP in the macro, and 2 MP in the depth sensor.
The model also does not disappoint in the battery, which is 5,000 mAh. With it, even those who need to be constantly connected will not be overwhelmed, since even ultra-fast charging is present. The screen is 6.43 inches, AMOLED FHD + technology, 2400×1080 resolution, and 90Hz refresh rate. All these features make us see the Redmi Note 11 as one of the best investments in the smartphone lineup, especially since it has a very attractive price, around R$1,200.
7 Samsung Galaxy M23
The Samsung Galaxy M23 is the best value-for-money alternative with 5G in our opinion. The 5G mobile internet technology arrived in Brazil and more and more cities join the list of contemplated. The model we recommended earlier (Xiaomi Redmi Note 11) does not support this technology. So we decided to indicate the smartphone with 5G that we consider the most advantageous purchase at the moment. The Galaxy M23 has a Snapdragon 750G processor with 6 GB of RAM, a set of good overall performance. In addition, there is 128 GB of internal storage and support for micro SD up to 1 TB.
The screen is 6.6 inches, with 1080 x 2408 resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The front camera is 5 MP, while at the rear there are three cameras: an ultra-wide 8 MP, the main 50 MP, and a 2 MP macro. The quality of the photos is quite satisfactory, especially considering the category in which this cell phone falls. It is also worth mentioning the good autonomy of the Galaxy M23, it’s 5000 mAh that can keep the device away from the sockets for a long time. The Galaxy M23 has received many compliments from its buyers, even for its price, which is considered very affordable for everything it offers.
8th – Motorola Moto G22
Motorola Moto G22 If you are looking for a good cell phone, but have a budget of around R$1,000, we recommend the Motorola Moto G22. It has an Helio G37 MediaTek processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of memory with the possibility of expansion with a micro SD of up to 1024 GB. The screen is one of its main strengths, as it is 6.5 inches, one of the largest in this price range.
It has a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which we consider more than enough for its proposal. The front camera offers 16 MP and is Full HD, while at the rear, in turn, there are 4 cameras of 50 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP, and 2 MP. For the price range, both its photos and performance are pretty amazing.
And another strong point of the Moto G22 is its battery life, the less demanding set together with the 5000 mAh manages to push the smartphone for many hours before the need for recharging. But it must be noted that this is an entry-level device, so don’t expect an overall quality similar to that of our first place.
9th – Samsung Galaxy A03
Samsung fans who want to spend less than R$1,000 can bet on the Samsung Galaxy A03. It has an Octa Core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a storage capacity of 64 GB, or up to 1 TB if you opt for micro SD expansion. the front camera is 5 MP, while at the rear there are two: the main one, with 48 MP, and the depth one, with 2 MP.
The cool thing about this second camera function is that you can blur the background of photos in both selfies and landscapes. The screen is 6.5 inches, with a refresh rate of 60Hz and a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, which is simple, but it works. One of the strongest points of the model is its battery capacity, which has 5,000 mAh. This means that it lasts a long time, especially if we consider the most basic hardware of the cell phone. The Galaxy A03 is an excellent choice for anyone
10th – Samsung Galaxy A03 Core
Samsung Galaxy A03 Core The Galaxy A03 Core is the true definition of basic, good, and cheap. We can say that it is a slightly more affordable version of the Galaxy A03, which is also on our list. But it manages to be even cheaper, being found for less than R$600. It proposes to be basic, supporting calls, some apps like WhatsApp and Facebook, and sporadic searches in search engines.
The model’s processor is an Octa-Core, there are 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, which prevents it from running heavy games well and that you to store a lot of data. But you can use a card for an expansion of up to 1024 GB in storage. The A03 Core screen is 6.5 inches, with 720 x 1600 resolution and 60Hz refresh rate, simple but within expectations for the model’s price.
Its front camera has 5 MP, while the rear, has 8 MP. They are Llntes with just enough quality for a few family photos for social networks, nothing more. But there is one aspect in which the A03 Core beats (and wins) cell phones much more expensive than it, battery life. There are 5000 mAh that manage to keep the device on for a long time, thanks also to the most basic hardware that consumes very little battery.
