The polls have closed, and after nearly 7,500 of you voted, there was a clear winner that emerged from our 2019 Readers' Choice Smartphone of the Year ballot: the Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL, beating out the OnePlus 7 Pro family.

Understanding just why the Pixel remains the top choice among our readers isn't difficult: clean software with quick updates (well, usually), industry-leading photography performance, and early access to the newest features of many of Google's other products like the next-generation Assistant and Stadia. The editors of Android Police gave the Pixel 3a our pick for 2019 under similar reasoning.
