The best Android phones for 2023
From budget to flagship, we have picks for every price range.
Sam Rutherford has been covering tech since 2013 when he started at Tom’s Guide and Laptop Mag. In 2017, he joined Gizmodo before moving to Engadget in 2022. He has reviewed hundreds of phones and laptops while also covering a wide range of other devices including VR headsets, cameras, cars and more. Quotes from his work have been seen everywhere from billboards at the World Trade Center to the Super Bowl. Before getting into tech, he taught archery and looked after penguins at the New England Aquarium, and when he’s not writing he’s probably gaming or testing out a new recipe.
