Best Android phone
Redesigned with damage-resistant front and back glass inside a durable frame, the Google Pixel 10 is built to last. It's incredibly smart too. You can ask it for a helping hand whenever you need it with the built-in Gemini AI assistant. Whether you're writing a message, planning an event, or just curious about something new, just press and hold the power button and Gemini will jump in to help out.
The Pixel 10 comes with a triple camera system (48MP main, 13MP ultrawide, and a 10.8MP 5x telephoto lens) so you can zoom right into a subject on the other side of the room and still get a sharp shot.
The camera is loaded with fun editing features too. The 'Add Me' mode that lets you take a group photo and then sneak yourself into it. The Pixel magically blends everything together, so it looks like you were always in the shot.
With 'Magic Editor Reframe', your photos will always be perfectly cropped and framed. It can even expand your images to include more of the scene.
Feeling creative? The 'Magic Editor Reimagine' feature lets you completely transform your photos. So if you want to turn a grassy field into a beach or make the sky pink, just type in your vision, and watch the magic happen!
Best camera phone
The Galaxy S26 is packed with powerful AI tech to make your life easier. From holiday spots to hair styles, Circle to Search with Google lets you find out about anything on your phone screen. There's no typing required - just circle the object you get instant search results without switching apps. If you’re abroad and need to make a local call, Live Translate removes the language barrier. So both people on the call can speak and hear in their own language.
If you're short on time but want to stay on top of the news, Note Assist summarises any written content into easy-to-skim bullet points. And you can hand over note taking to Transcript Assist It writes up conversations, including who said what, leaving you free to listen and contribute in meetings. And when you're looking for a better way to say something, Writing Assist provides suggestions in just the right tone, whether you're messaging a mate or writing a post on social media.
For night shots that show what your eyes actually see, enhanced AI Nightography captures every shade and texture. Can't get as close to that festival stage as you'd like? No problem - the 10MP Telephoto lens brings the action closer with 3x optical zoom. And photos look even better with Photo Assist's Edit Suggestion feature, which makes recommendations for automatic edits - like erasing objects and removing reflections. You can even reposition and re-size objects to get that perfect composition.
Best mid-range phone
Looking for a great phone but don't want to pay premium prices? Then Google's new entry-level Pixel 10a could be the one for you. This affordable phone packs Google's Tensor G4 chip, bringing a whole load of AI features to make your life easier.
Circle to Search lets you quickly find what you're looking for by simply drawing a circle around an image, video, or text. There's also a genuinely handy new addition: Satellite SOS. It lets you send an emergency alert even when there's no mobile signal - useful whether you're out in the wilds or just somewhere with dodgy reception.
The camera also uses AI to make photos looks their best. If someone blinks just as you snap the picture, don't worry. The Best Take feature combines several similar photos into one perfect shot. The Face Unlbur tool sharpens faces, even if the original shot is a bit blurry. Plus, Night Sight helps you take perfect pics late into the evening. It produces photos with great colour and detail even in low light - including bright starry skies with Astrophotography.
Best foldable phone
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 phones are both incredible foldable phones. Here’s a little more detail on what makes each one so special.
Galaxy Z Fold7
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is great for anyone that wants their phone to do a bit of everything. It opens up into a roomy 8-inch display, perfect for reviewing documents, reading comfortably, or running two apps side by side - so you can do things like reading emails while checking your calendar. When it’s folded, the 6.5-inch cover screen is perfect for quick replies.
Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip and up to 16GB of RAM, it easily handles demanding tasks from editing videos to running serious work apps. The 200MP camera captures shots full of detail. And with 3x optical zoom, it’s great for close-ups without losing sharpness.
The Fold7 is also slimmer than before, with improved dust and water resistance (IP48). And it comes in a range of cool new colours - Blue shadow, Jetblack and Silver shadow.
Galaxy Z Flip7
The Galaxy Z Flip7 is perfect for people who want a stylish phone that fits into their everyday life. Its compact shape slips into small pockets and bags, and the upgraded 4.1-inch cover screen means you can check notifications, respond to messages, or control music without opening the phone.
Flip it open for a full 6.9-inch AMOLED display that’s great for watching videos, or scrolling through endless Instagrams. The 50MP main camera takes clear shots in all sorts of conditions (even low light) and you can use the cover screen to preview for your selfies. It’s also handy for hands-free video calls when the phone is propped open on a table.
The Flip7 comes in new colour options like Coral Red and Blue Shadow, and includes handy upgrades like a larger 4,300mAh battery, Exynos 2500 processor, and 12GB RAM.
Mobile phone FAQs
What is the best mobile phone for me? SIM free or pay monthly?
SIM free means you own the phone outright and choose your own SIM deal - great for flexibility. Pay monthly combines a phone and plan into one monthly Direct Debit, usually over one to three years. At Currys you can pay upfront or spread the cost on SIM free phones.
Should I buy an iPhone or Android phone?
Android is highly customisable with 3 million+ apps on Google Play. Apple's iOS is simple, secure and exclusive to iPhones, with iCloud, FaceTime and iMessage built in. Think about which services you already use - that'll usually point you towards the right one.
Should I buy an unlocked phone?
An unlocked phone works with any network's SIM, so it’s useful if you want to switch providers or use a local SIM abroad. All SIM free phones at Currys come unlocked, so you can choose any network you want.
How much phone storage do I need?
If you take lots of photos, download games, or stream offline content, go for 128GB or more. For calls, messaging and light browsing, 64GB is usually enough. As a guide, 50GB holds around 16,000 photos or 50 hours of video.
