Flagship Android phones, including Find X9 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and POCO F8 Ultra.

It has been a good year for phones, and hardware in general has never been better. Qualcomm is delivering sizeable gains with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, MediaTek did the same with the Dimensity 9500, and even Google got its act together with the Tensor G5, finally switching to TSMC's 3nm node — the same as Qualcomm and MediaTek.

I used five devices with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 over the course of the last month — the OnePlus 15, POCO F8 Ultra, iQOO 15, Redmagic 11 Pro, and the Realme GT 8 Pro — along with four devices powered by the Dimensity 9500: Vivo X300 Pro, X300 Pro, Find X9 Pro, and Find X9. Finally, I tested key devices in the Pixel 10 family, including the Pixel 10, 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
