Android phones launch throughout the year, so there’s always a new phone to look forward to at any point. Thanks to this never-ending cycle and the ups and downs on discounts, phone recommendations are always in a state of flux—phones that are good to buy right now may not be the best choice later on, and phones that were skippable early in their release cycle can suddenly become insane value after a price drop. With a big chunk of Android flagship releases done for the year, we asked you what you thought was the worst phone to buy in August 2025, and there’s some pretty strong hate coming in for two recent releases: namely, the Motorola Moto G 2025 and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.
With over 15,000 total votes at the time of publishing this, this has been among our most-voted surveys yet. Unfortunately for the Motorola Moto G (2025), it got 3,700 votes for a 24.9% vote share, making it the least popular phone choice for this month.
