If you are looking for a great smartphone, check out our list of 8 best call quality smartphones in 2018. It’s sure to come in handy, especially if you need a phone that can do lots of good quality calling.

Because whether you’re using it for conference calls or late night chats with your girlfriends, it’s important to have a phone that manages talk time well. After all, that’s the whole point of a phone in the first place. Sure, smartphones have adapted to do a million other things, like snap amazing photos and browse social media, but their basic function has always been communication, specifically through a good old-fashioned phone call. But you won’t be spinning that wheel to dial a number or holding a receiver to your ear next to a wall; these are the latest and greatest phones with the newest technology.

But what good is a phone if it has bad to mediocre call quality? Of course, this also depends on your carrier and the kind of service it provides. You can have the best mobile phone in the world and still get terrible reception simply because of your carrier. But having a better smartphone certainly helps.

To come up with our list of 8 best call quality smartphones in 2020, we consulted many recent lists from reputable tech sites, such as Pocket Lint‘s Best Smartphone 2020, Tom’s Guide‘s Best Phones of 2020, T3‘s Best Smartphone 2020, Trusted Review‘s Best Smartphone, and PCMag‘s Best Phones of 2020.

Each time a certain phone was mentioned on one of the lists above, we gave it one point and formed our points system from there. Additionally, since we’re specifically focusing on the best call quality phones in this list, not just the best smartphones overall, we gave each phone that was said to have good call quality an extra point. But remember that the “best” phone could greatly differ from person to person. We all know about the great Apple versus Android debate, so if you’ve been an Apple user for a long time and you decide on one of the Androids below, you might not consider it the best. We don’t want to start any arguments; we just want to show you the general consensus of the tech sites above about the best call quality smartphones this year so far.

2. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus

The screen on this phone is massive, for optimal movie viewing, or just social media browsing.

1. iPhone 11 Pro Max

This is probably the best phone out right now, although there were some complaints regarding how long battery lasts. Apparently, with heavy usage, it lasts barely one day. But don’t worry, many of these glitches are at least partially fixed in the updates they consistently release.
