Reviewing the best stock Android smartphones you can buy in 2023, including the Pixel 7a, Motorola Edge 40 Pro and other top handsets for camera tech, gaming and battery life. My favourite stock Android phones list includes flagships like the Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, as well as budget-friendly mobiles like the 7a, Nothing Phone 1, Moto G82 and Nokia X30.

If you want a completely stock Android smartphone, then one of the best options is that Pixel 7 series. The affordable Pixel 7a boasts Google exclusive features and some of the best camera phone action in 2023 for the price.
The Nothing Phone 1 is a strong rival on a budget, however. While the Pixel 7a is slightly better for the camera fans, this smartphone offers wireless charging and some other cool features for the price. Just bear in mind the Nothing Phone 2 isn’t far away.
I’m also a massive fan of the Asus Zenfone 9, one of my favourite and ultimately best compact phones even now in 2023. Again, here’s hoping that Zenfone 10 is out soon and doesn’t disappoint!
