As Samsung's elite flagship phone for 2021, the Galaxy S21 Ultra features a brilliant 6.8-inch AMOLED display with an ultrasmooth 120Hz refresh rate that also supports Samsung's S-Pen stylus, an awesome rear camera with incredible zoom skills and 5G connectivity for super speedy data. This is the best in mobile technology that Samsung has to offer, and it's the Android phone to go for if you're keen to put cutting-edge tech in your pocket.
Best Android phone for affordable 5G
Google Pixel 5A 5G
Google's Pixel 4A 5G was our top Android pick if you want 5G on the cheap and its successor, the Pixel 5A 5G is a solid replacement. The phone has good battery life and great rear cameras and at $449 it's one of the best, cheapest ways of getting 5G when it goes on general sale on August 26.
Pixel phones have a loyal following and with good reason. Without considering its price, Google's Pixel 4A Android phone has top-notch camera performance that takes brilliant photos. But this Android device is an even better deal as the budget smartphone costs $349 (£349, AU$599). The 5.81-inch handset also features a headphone jack, 128GB of storage out of the box and better battery life than the previous year's Pixel 4.
While OnePlus isn't as well-known as Apple or Samsung, the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro offer a premium experience at a relatively more affordable budget phone price than rivals. Both phones are 5G-enabled, run the most powerful Qualcomm processor and have multilens cameras. The OnePlus 9 is our favorite of the two, with all of the features we love from the series but at the more affordable price and with better battery life. It's a solid option if the lofty prices of the Galaxy S21 Ultra are out of your reach.
Samsung's Galaxy S20 FE packs much of what we've come to expect from its premium S range of phones, including multiple rear cameras, great performance and 5G connectivity, but wrapped it in cheaper materials and brought the price down to a more affordable phone. This Android phone won a coveted CNET Editors' Choice award, and it's the phone to go for if you want a great Samsung phone but don't want to empty your bank account to get it.
Foldable phones haven't really hit the mainstream, remaining instead only in the reach of those willing to spend top dollar on the latest in mobile innovation. Samsung's brand new Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the best folding phone around, offering top-notch performance, a great camera setup and a variety of tweaks to its folding technology that make this Android handset more desirable than its predecessor.
The Motorola Edge Plus has pretty much everything you'd hope for in a premium 5G phone: A Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, a giant battery, an OLED screen with a high refresh rate, and multiple rear cameras with heavy-duty specs. Motorola took features found on other top-of-the-line Android phones, put its own Moto spin on them and built them all into one of our favorite Android phones of the year.
