Top 10 Best Smartphones of 2019 | Camera, Battery, Budget & more

My top 10 favourite smartphones released in 2019 which I’ve personally reviewed, including the best for camera hardware, battery life and to suit your personal budget. Here’s the greatest mobiles of the year so far, but let us know your own pick in the comments.

We start with a look at the best camera phone of 2019, and I’ve chosen Huawei’s P30 Pro (and P30) for this one. The different viewpoints, including that excellent 5x optical zoom, offer incredible flexibility – while photo and video quality can’t be beaten. Props to Samsung’s Galaxy S10 Plus too, which is also one of my favourites.

If you’re after long battery life, the Moto G7 Power is one of the top choices of the year. The 5000mAh cell and stock Android means the Power keeps going and going!

I then run through my pick of the best smartphones at certain price points: under £500, £400, £300 and even £200. Here I’ve gone for the Honor View 20, Sony Xperia 10 Plus, Moto G7 Plus and Honor 10 Lite/Huawei P Smart 2019 respectively.

As for the most anticipated upcoming handset, I’m personally looking forward to the Sony Xperia 1 (as well as the OnePlus 7, Poco F2 and plenty of others!)

Check out my round-ups of the greatest battery life phones, camera smartphones and other top handsets here on Tech Spurt.

    Moto g7 power or moto one power?
    (I think one power wins)

    I think you forgot the amazing Honor 8X. You said it was a crazy value for money (i.e. Honor 8X vs iPhone XS).

  15. John Taylor on April 22, 2022 at 7:13 pm

  16. Regala, Cyril Jordan on April 22, 2022 at 7:15 pm

  18. Moe x on April 22, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    The U.S. government sucks, I want the heuwai P30/Pro



  19. ReviewtheMidwest on April 22, 2022 at 7:16 pm

    Ulefone worst company ever, couple of years ago bought Ulefone Armor 2 the looks seem to carry on to the Armor 6, first it was the charge port which is more of a design flaw, the screen started coming apart after about 6 months rubber edges for shock..Yeah they work for a bit, but if you put your "Tough phone" in your pocket often those will fail you too. Finally the battery is pure trash, would like to see more people reviewing Ulefone to drop a BUYER BEWARE, with all the cheap smartphones and all the reviews out there its easy to get the wrong end of the deal spending 300 or more on a brand that’s trash! Love your vids bro



  20. shaolin95 on April 22, 2022 at 7:17 pm

    There is nothing brilliant about 21:9 making phones with an even dumber aspect ratio than the current fad



  21. Bálor Club on April 22, 2022 at 7:18 pm

    Plz do a camera review on Huawei P30 lite.



  22. Eveline S. on April 22, 2022 at 7:19 pm

    Moto G7 PLUS lacks band71, I experience a lot of problems connecting to European networks and keeping a steady connection, otherwise perfect budget phone I agree ! Great videos you’re making.



  23. The Spark on April 22, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    Multiply all prices by 1,5 if you are in Denmark.

    … or order from "various suppliers abroad" and hope you don´t get caught.



  24. Blake Chandler on April 22, 2022 at 7:20 pm

    Google pixel 3a is definitely looking great for a budget phone. Surprised you didn’t mention it.



  25. HEIP EVER HURT NEVER on April 22, 2022 at 7:22 pm

  30. Yazan Sakran on April 22, 2022 at 7:27 pm

    You accidentally showed the Honor 10 instead of the Honor 10 lite



  31. Alex Fu on April 22, 2022 at 7:29 pm

  32. Oliver Lorenz on April 22, 2022 at 7:30 pm

    Can you review the UMIDIGI S3 Pro and UMIDIGI F1?



  46. Banglaz Bless on April 22, 2022 at 7:45 pm

    What did I just watch, a Huawei sponsored video? You fanboys are getting worst and worst by the day. Smdh!



  47. cssun on April 22, 2022 at 7:46 pm

    U missed so many phones 😰



  48. Man Sla on April 22, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    Love these reviews, gives you all the info you need in a clear way but now I am totally confused! Help me decide! Need something £200 ish, not too big (needs to go in pocket or very often poked down my bra as I dont have pockets!), good battery life v important, fast charge, robust, speedy but I dont game ever, never take selfies so main camera more important. I was hanging out for the Moto G Power for the battery but am worried camera is not too good? Honor Play?



  49. Thomas Lee on April 22, 2022 at 7:47 pm

    I think the Samsung Galaxy S10+ is the best



  50. TYRUSMUSIC on April 22, 2022 at 7:48 pm

    Sony 10plus😍
