I looked at the 20 best-selling smartphones on Amazon, and these are the only 3 I would buy

If you’re buying a new smartphone, there’s a good chance you’ve checked Amazon’s latest deals. Prime Big Deal Days may have already wrapped up, but with the holiday shopping season approaching, there’s no shortage of smartphone deals coming over the next few months.

In case you didn’t know, Amazon also maintains a list of its best-selling smartphones. I recently went through the top 20, and while some of the choices made perfect sense, others left me wondering why people were still spending money on those devices in 2026.
