Mobile phone reviews: Reliability

To find out which tech brands are the UK’s favourites, every year we ask almost 10,000 Which? members to tell us about the technology products they own – from how happy they are to recommend a brand, to how reliable the products are once they’re home.

Our research shows that mobile phones are very reliable.

One brand clinches the top spot in our survey, with a commendable reliability rating of 95%, and most of the rest of the field isn't far behind. A few brands rank lower, but still have decent reliability scores.
