Polling our panel of Android enthusiasts, the consensus is that not much has changed at the top of our Best Phones list. There’s a good reason: last year brought us perhaps the best crop of Android smartphones we have ever seen, and major manufacturers have been riding that success out, staying quiet in terms of earth-shaking announcements. That all changed last week with Mobile World Congress and the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9.
Those devices (along with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge) promise to force us to rethink our rankings come next month. Both will be on the market by early April, and our initial time with the devices has us with one impression: it’s going to be hard to find a better phone than the Galaxy S6 or One M9 come next month.
We’ve got the lowdown on all of these upcoming devices, rumored phones like the LG G4, and, of course, our list of the best Android phones currently available, all as part of Phandroid’s Android phone guide.
