The year isn’t over yet, but the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will be ZDNET’s top pick for best phone of 2024. The big selling point with the Ultra model is its maximalist approach to being a smartphone, giving you all the features you could need, including a built-in S Pen stylus, upwards of 1TB of storage, and a quad-camera system.

While the OnePlus 12 launched before most flagship phones this year, it’s stood the test of time with its performant Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits, 256GB of storage, 65W fast charging, and slim design. Its curved edges may not be for everyone (and every screen protector), but the flagship Android phone has almost no other hardware flaw.

One of the best flip phones on the market, you can buy Motorola’s latest foldable for $200 off after Cyber Monday. For the money, you get a compact handset with dual cameras, dual screens, and your choice of charmingly bold color. The new Razr Plus model is also Samsung’s most durable one yet.

The Google Pixel 9 is the phone I recommend to most people in 2024. It doesn’t have the flashiest features, like a dedicated telephoto lens or LTPO display, but it’s a well-rounded package that holds up against phones that cost hundreds of dollars more. With seven years of software support, Google AI features, and a very capable camera system, you’ve got one of the safest, best-value phones on sale after Cyber Monday.

Are phone deals really better on Black Friday and Cyber Monday?
Which retailer will have the best smartphone deals?
That said, I’d highly advise scanning the catalogs of the manufacturers themselves, such as Samsung<!–>, Motorola–>, Google<!–>, and Apple–>. Beyond discounts to the retail cost, manufacturers often bundle free wireless earbuds, chargers, and other accessories with your purchase. Since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’ll also have a direct line with their customer support, should any problems with the product arise.
