A freshly updated November 2026 smartphone ranking from German telecom experts Handyhase has delivered a major shake-up at the top of the mobile market. Apple’s flagship iPhone 18 Pro claimed the number one overall spot with an impressive score of 9.78 out of 10, praised for its 2nm A20 Pro processor, variable-aperture camera system, and faster charging speeds. Meanwhile, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra slipped out of the top five entirely, trailing behind fierce competition from HONOR, Xiaomi, and Motorola Signature—which secured the crown as the top-rated Android device this month.
