This is the seventh annual State Bar of Wisconsin summary of the best currently available smartphones. Attorneys I corresponded with for this article say the top concerns surrounding smartphones are overall performance, battery life, and price.

In this year’s smartphone lineup, manufacturers are addressing camera quality, including phones with multiple cameras and improved features such as better low-light pictures, wide angle, and greater zoom, with improved designs.

Battery-life improvements include faster-charging technology and bigger batteries whenever possible. Processors have increased performance in phones this year as well.
