\"People'sJeffrey Hazelwood\/CNET<\/p>\n

Your phone is essentially a miniature computer. They help us stay connected with friends online, organize our schedules and even stream our favorite shows. And you probably have a strong opinion on how your phone performs, its battery life and which features are actually useful \u2014 and which aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

This month, we\u2019re asking which phone you rely on. You can take our two-minute survey<\/a> to share your experience with your device\u2019s camera quality, battery life, durability and value. The top picks will make it to our roundup, so be sure to check back in a few weeks to see if yours made the list.<\/p>\n

Why we want to hear from you<\/p>\n

Spec tables on retailer sites don\u2019t capture the full story about a phone. How your phone performs every day, your experience with the camera in dim lighting and whether the hardware holds up over time are invaluable insights for others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been reviewing phones at CNET for a decade and my absolute favorite part of my job is meeting readers and hearing about what they love about their handsets and what annoys them. I\u2019m incredibly excited to hear from you and encourage you to share your experiences with us,\u201d says Patrick Holland, director of content at CNET.<\/p>\n

Whether you go for budget phones or prefer devices with all the bells and whistles, you can help other CNET readers find a phone that\u2019s actually worth their money by sharing your thoughts.<\/p>\n

How to make your voice heard<\/p>\n

This survey<\/a> is open through mid-August and takes only a few minutes to complete. After we gather enough information, we\u2019ll tally up the numbers and publish the winners.<\/p>\n
