First up is the Google Pixel 9, as the Pixel 10 is coming on August 20 with a 5x telephoto camera, Tensor G5 chip, and Qi2 charging promising major upgrades.

The Pixel 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Pro Fold should also wait for the Pixel 10 Pro, which is expected to have a larger battery, faster charging, and a high-frequency PWM display. (Photo: Android Authority)

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is criticized for poor heat dissipation, weak battery, slow charging and may soon become obsolete when Galaxy S26 Edge launches with 4,400mAh battery. (Photo: Android Authority)

Although the Galaxy A36 5G has an AMOLED screen and a good battery, it is rated as having poor performance, a slow fingerprint sensor, and difficulty in providing a smooth experience. (Photo: Android Authority)

Joe Maring recommends users wait for the upcoming new models to get more upgrades at a reasonable price.

Buying a smartphone at the right time saves money and gets you a device with the latest technology.
