As the year gradually winds down, we observe Android phones that were launched within the year. We had a session where we asked 9to5Google readers to make known their preferred smartphones for the year, and here are the outcomes.

In comparison to the past, there have been fewer new releases in the Android market in 2023. Particularly in the American market, where only a limited number of significant players exist. Given this is a survey from 9to5Google, it would not be challenging to guess the top elected smartphones of 2023.

Google's Pixel 8 Pro and Pixel 8 were the top choices, gaining over 60% of all votes. Trailing closely behind was the Galaxy S23 Ultra, accompanied by the OnePlus Open, a foldable variant, which was the highly rated foldable smartphone.

Completing the top 10 list were the rest of Google's Pixel range released in 2023, along with the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy S23, Nothing Phone 2, and OnePlus 11.

The writers at 9to5Google overall ranked the Pixel 8 Pro and OnePlus Open as our top picks for the year, despite the variety in lists of top five picks from individual team members.

By the time the year is at an end, we have reflected on the Android smartphones that have made their debut during the course of the year. A poll was conducted amongst 9to5Google readers to find out their favorite smartphones of the year, and here are the results that emerged.

With the year drawing to a close, we take a close look at the Android phones that were launched over the year. 9to5Google readers were polled about their favorite smartphones of the year, and these results have been compiled.
