81.5% of Iraqis use Android mobile phones to stay in touch, get driving directions, catch up with the news, and shop for our favourite items. 

If you’re looking for a new Android handset, read on to find out which might be the best Android on the market for you. You’ll find out about some of this year’s top models as well as some low budget and mid-market choices.

The best Android phone of 2025:

The best Android of 2025 is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Many reviewers believe this handset leads the pack, thanks to its cutting‑edge performance and premium features. 

Under the hood, the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip drives this very capable device. You get ultra-fast performance whether you're gaming or using multiple intensive apps at the same time.

Its 6.9‑inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is vibrant and sharp, offering stunning visuals in Quad HD+ resolution. This makes it ideal for watching films on the go and for work tasks like video calls and document editing.

The camera system is a noteworthy featured. It countenances:

  • A ground-breaking 200‑megapixel main sensor.

     
  • A 50‑megapixel ultra‑wide.

     
  • A telephoto lens including a periscope lens offering 5x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom.

The camera captures incredible detail in every shot, even in low light. Plus, it supports UHD 8K video recording and multiple slow‑motion modes.

Memory-wise, you can choose 256GB, 512GB or a massive 1TB of storage. The phone comes with 12GB of RAM and a robust 5000mAh battery that lasts up to 31 hours of video playback.

Other high-end phones you might want to consider are:

  • OnePlus 13: This handset is lightning-fast and critics admire its smart Hasselblad camera. Great for people who want to be on the phone constantly - the battery holds its charge well and the phone can go from 0% to a full charge in just 36 minutes. 

     
  • Xiaomi 14 Ultra: This is another great device that’s ideal for photography buffs. The 14 Ultra delivers top-quality, detail-rich images, even in low light, thanks to its Leica‑branded optics. Not only its camera but also,  advanced internal cooling feature makes for a super-fast user experience, even when multitasking.

     
  • Oppo Find X8 Pro: Fans appreciate the premium build quality and the near bezel-less design. The 6.78" OHD+ screen has a refresh rate of 120Hz, excellent for dynamic gaming and virtual/augmented reality apps.

Best Android mid-market phones:

If you want a mid-range phone with high-ticket features, the powerful OnePlus 13R is a great choice. It's great for streaming and gaming, thanks to the remarkable visuals of its 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display.

The 13R’s battery life also makes this handset stand out. You can get two days use from it and when it's running low, the rapid 80W charging tops it up fast. Be aware there's no wireless charging, if that's important to you.

You could also consider the Samsung Galaxy A53, another impressive mid-range handset. Like the 13R, the display on this good-looking phone is a highlight - a 6.5", FHD+ resolution, 120Hz AMOLED screen.

While the camera is not high-end, it's very competitive for this price range. Samsung's One UI software also works particularly well on this phone, making it a pleasure to use.

Best Android budget phones:

There’s a lot of impressive Android budget phones available from 2023 onwards and four that made an impression on us were:

  • Motorola Moto G Power (2024): Its sturdy battery means this phone holds its charge for a long time. The superior performance belies the low-price tag as does the sizable, bright display.

     
  • Samsung Galaxy A14: The A14 comes with two years of Android updates and four years’ security updates. Samsung boosted the 6.6” screen’s pixel density on this upgrade, making the display a lot sharper and more vivid. The camera is surprisingly good, too. 

     
  • Xiaomi Redmi 12C: Not so long ago, entry-level phones were poor. Hence, handsets like the Redmi 12C that have changed people’s perceptions. This is a capable, solid mobile with a dual SIM slot, great battery life, and a decent set of cameras.

     
  • Doogee V Max 5G: The V Max has four inbuilt cameras and is capable of 4K video quality. This ruggedised phone is great for worksites thanks to its toughness and it doesn't stint on performance.

Best Android phones by value for money:

The Android phone that offers best value for money is Google Pixel 8a.

Colours on the 6.1” OLED screen are punchy and the display operates at 120Hz, great for videos and gaming. For a phone at this price point, the phone feels smooth and fast, making it seem more like a mid-range phone than a budget handset.

Buy the phone new and you’ll get a full seven years of security and system updates from Google. The battery should also last you through the day without the need to recharge.
