superphones
Top-tier mobile devices
Superphones are high-end smartphones with cutting-edge specifications—powerful processors, advanced cameras, large high-resolution displays, and premium materials.
The term emerged in the early 2010s to distinguish flagship devices from basic smartphones: The latest superphones rival dedicated cameras for photo quality.
Marketing often applies the label loosely, but it generally signals a device at the top of its manufacturer's lineup.
