The best mobile phones with 5G you can buy in 2022

After 2020’s disappointing Galaxy S20 Ultra, Samsung has finally earned some respect with a sequel that offers just about everything you’d expect from a 5G Android flagship, albeit at a price only a select few can afford. allow and in a form factor that will just be too big for some.

The camera is now probably the best of any phone, with a 108MP main lens supported by two telephoto lenses with different zoom levels.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra’s large 6.8-inch display offers both high WQHD+ resolution and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and with new S Pen support, it also comfortably fills the Galaxy’s productivity niche.

The Pixel 6 Pro is a powerful phone with a phenomenal camera system and possibly the best Android experience yet.

On the other hand, it is big and heavy, and its striking design is always controversial: it has its fans, but also many detractors. You should also support trickle charging by Android standards, with no charger in the box.

For many, those trade-offs are worth the vastly improved Pixel camera. For the first time, you have a prime lens, ultra-wide-angle, and periscopic telephoto lens in a single Pixel phone, and with AI capabilities powered by Google’s new Tensor chip, it’s capable of taking photos that no other phone can take.

If you still think foldables are a fad, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 might be the phone to change your mind.

Thanks in part to an aggressive price drop that makes it a true rival to other flagships, the Z Flip 3 feels like a phone with few compromises.

Top specs are combined with flagship features like water resistance and wireless charging, and the new design is second to none.

The camera is average – not bad, but nothing special – and the battery life is disappointing, but those are the only reasons not to opt for this phone over a traditional phone.

Apple is already on its second generation of 5G iPhones, and this time it’s the Pro model that we’ve chosen.

It’s the first iPhone to support a 120Hz display, which should have happened a long time ago, in the 6.1-inch form factor that’s best for most people, although the 13-inch Pro Max is also available if you prefer a larger phone.

The triple camera has been revamped from last year, and while it still lags behind some Android rivals – especially when it comes to HDR – it’s certainly one of the best cameras out there. any phone today, especially when it comes to shooting.

Battery life has also been improved, and that ultimately doesn’t seem like a downside – it’s as long-lasting as any flagship, although charging is still slow.

The Oppo Find X3 Pro is a great phone no matter how you look at it. Its 6.7-inch QHD+ 10-bit 120Hz display is one of the best screens you’ll see, and Oppo backs it up with 65W wired charging and 30W wireless charging, a 4,500mAh battery, and a top camera with 50 MP sensors. both in the main lens and in the ultra wide angle.

You’ll have to live without a periscopic zoom – the telephoto here is a miserable 2x zoom – but Oppo instead includes a new micro-lens camera capable of super-micro close-ups.

That’s not the only quirk, as the design itself is totally unique thanks to a perfectly angled camera module embedded into the glass of the phone’s body.

In terms of performance, the Find X3 Pro is hard to beat, with all of the above plus a Snapdragon 888 chip, 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM. You just have to be prepared to pay the price, because it’s not cheap.

OnePlus’ second Nord phone is a worthy follow-up, sporting a custom version of MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 chipset with 5G capability.

The Nord 2 also has a 90Hz AMOLED display, a large 50MP main camera and 65W fast charging.

From a software standpoint, the company’s OxygenOS user experience is also a highlight, bringing responsive interactivity and a clean interface that lends itself to the phone’s feel of power and quality.

OnePlus also recently launched the Nord CE 5G, which takes most of those excellent specs but wraps them in a plastic body, with a few other key improvements elsewhere. Overall, we prefer the Nord 2, but the CE 5G is worth it if you’re on a tighter budget.

The Realme GT is the big flagship of 2021 that should have been the OnePlus 9.

The best specifications -a Snapdragon 888 5G, 65W charger and a 120Hz AMOLED pantalla- están encerradas en un fenomenal design a rayas de cuero vegano amarillo (omite los dos aburridos modelos de cristal) que asegura que el Realme GT parezca tan rápido como it is.

You won’t get wireless charging or a water resistance rating, and the camera is a bit basic, but for performance per pound, there’s nothing better yet.

The Asus ROG Phone 5 offers one of the best experiences video game for mobile, with built-in triggers, a gorgeous 144Hz AMOLED display with impressive touch response times, impressive sound and incredible power under the hood with the Snapdragon 888 and up to 16GB of RAM.

There are plenty of accessories available, from Switch-like Kunai 5 controllers to the AeroActive Cooler 5, which keeps the phone cool during long gaming sessions.

the Software It’s also top-notch, offering granular per-game performance tuning as well as system-wide performance modes.

However, while the large screen is great for gaming, some may find it too big to use effectively one-handed, and at 238 grams it’s significantly heavier than most 2021 top-ends.
