Top 10 best smartphone recommendations in 2020: 5G powers the hottest competitors

All operators provide one, two, or three versions of 5G phones, but the speed and availability of 5G networks across the country are still limited. The best choice we listed covers all three network options, so it is the best choice for 5G.

We will definitely see new phones from Google, Apple, and OnePlus in 2020. Apple may not support 5G in 2020, and Android smartphones have the upper hand in 5G. Stunning cameras are also a major feature of today’s flagship smartphones, and the 10 best cameras can help you capture stunning images.
Now it’s easy to find a good phone. The phone is very good. You really don’t need to change the phone every year, but the upgrade procedures of the operator and the manufacturer make this quite easy. Nowadays, smartphones have become a key tool for conducting business, so it is also a reasonable expense to choose monthly installments.

Samsung Galaxy S20/S20 Plus/S20 Ultra

Samsung released the Galaxy S20 series a month ago, and mobile phones are now available to consumers. After using the S20 Ultra 5G for a few weeks, it is clear that this phone is designed for business and has won the crown of the best 5G device today.

The focus of the S20 product line this year is universal 5G and improved camera experience. Samsung is currently dealing with some of the focus issues on the S20 Ultra. Although you may not want to pay more than $1,400 for this phone now, the S20 Plus may be more suitable.

Samsung S20 series is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, AMOLED 120hz refresh rate, display from 6.2 to 6.9 inches, 12GB RAM (with 16GB option), 128GB to 512GB storage and microSD with larger capacity, three rear cameras ( Ultra has unique camera specifications), IP68 rating, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5. The battery capacity ranges from 4,000 to 5,000mAh. S20 does not support high-bandwidth (mmWave) and faster 5G networks, so make sure to choose a device that suits your network needs.

It can be considered that the S20 series is not the best smartphone on the market, but in terms of 5G and the latest technology, they are hard to beat. This price is difficult to prove to be reasonable, but when you realize the performance of this device, the price looks more reasonable.

 LG V60 ThinQ 5G

LG V60 ThinQ 5G was recently released on T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. It may be released on Amazon in the future.

This latest LG V series device will continue to focus on video creation, with a triple rear camera system, 8K video recording, four microphones, ASMR and Voice Bokeh audio technology, and advanced camera software. It is also equipped with a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh and a 1080p display, so it will definitely help you shoot hours of video content.

LG V60 ThinQ 5G is composed of two pieces of Gorilla Glass 5 with a metal frame, which has the impact resistance of MIL-STD 810G. LG's new mobile phone is equipped with a 6.8-inch OLED panel, Qualcomm Snapdragon 865, 8GB RAM, 128GB internal storage (with a microSD card), and 5G support. Comes with a dual-screen protective cover, the price is 900 US dollars, to provide you with a huge working platform.

In addition to 5G and focus on video shooting, LG V60 continues LG's audio excellence tradition, equipped with a 3.5mm audio port, supports four-channel DAC and stereo speakers. The speaker's sound quality sounds great, but the experience with wired headphones is better. This is one of the only phones with a 3.5 mm audio port, so audiophiles will be very happy.

OnePlus 8/8 Pro

Plus, two phones, OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro were launched in 2020, both of which are compatible with 5G networks. T-Mobile will support OnePlus 8, and Verizon will also get a unique version with 5G mmWave support.

This latest OnePlus flagship product provides excellent response performance, it has 90Hz and 120Hz display, fast UFS 3.0 internal storage, powerful memory, and the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 processor.

This phone looks very cute, with interstellar glow, ice green, and other colors to choose from. Every phone has several different RAM and internal storage options. Due to the differences in size and battery capacity between OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro, we also found some differences in the camera, display refresh rate, and wireless charging capabilities.

Galaxy Note 10/10 Plus

For most of the past year, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has been ranked at the top of our list of the top ten best smartphones, and it was at the top of the list earlier this year. Although there is no headphone jack, everything else has been improved on the basis of the 2019 Galaxy Note. Note 10 is now available in two versions, which have a microSD card slot, the main difference between the display size and battery capacity.

Galaxy Note 10 Plus is an excellent business smartphone, equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, large memory, fast internal storage, microSD card expansion, powerful rear four-camera system, and more.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 has a link to the Windows button in the quick control area and supports the latest version of DeX. Extending it to an external monitor with Samsung DeX is quick and easy, while also providing a fully functional desktop experience. Through the wireless charging technology on the back of Note 10, the additional function of charging other devices such as Galaxy Buds provides convenience for users on the road.

The Note 10 with 8GB RAM and 256GB RAM starts at US$949.99, and Note 10 Plus with 12GB RAM and 256GB RAM starts at US$1099.99. These two devices also added RAM and storage options, but the default basic models have been able to provide sufficient RAM and storage space for most users. Note 10 Plus is currently available on Samsung and all carriers. T-Mobile has just launched a 5G version, priced at $1299.99.

iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max

My comprehensive review of the Apple iPhone 11 Pro almost allowed me to give it my first full score of 10. I have been opposed to this ever since Apple introduced an Apple phone with 64GB of RAM. I found that this is unacceptable for a flagship phone that costs more than $1,000 and has a three-camera system. The three-camera system is the best video capture system on mobile phones. Apple has also been working hard to deal with the performance issues of iOS 13, which is why it has not continued to be at the top of this list.

The only difference between the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max is the screen size and battery capacity. Obviously, the 5.8-inch model suits me best. This phone has many commendable features, it is easy to put in the pocket, and can meet the needs of users with smaller hands. It can be used with one hand. In the benchmark test of the Apple A13 Bionic chipset, Apple once again proved that it is the best among all other mobile phones. It has an incredible OLED screen, a considerable battery capacity, 4 hours longer battery life than last year’s iPhone, and new camera hardware (with improved software), making it a very attractive An eye-catching flagship product. It will continue to be updated regularly (there will be an update within the first week of release), and the iOS application is still better than similar Android applications, although Android phones have also improved.

Face ID is still one of the fastest and safest ways to maintain mobile phone security, and the iPhone 11 Pro version has been improved for better performance. Google may launch an alternative product on the upcoming Pixel 4, but the current ultrasonic fingerprint scanner has proven to be not very reliable.

The minimum price of the iPhone 11 Pro is US$999, while the minimum price of the iPhone 11 Max is US$1,099 with a minimum storage capacity of 64GB. There are some color choices that appeal to users. Compared with iPhone 11, the Pro version focuses more on business users.

Galaxy S10/S10 Plus

Samsung's current flagship product for the mass market is a winner in almost all aspects. Compared with the newly launched Note 10 series, it is still a more affordable and more portable option. In the past six months, the price has also dropped, so you can buy this phone at a good price.

Last year’s S9 Plus was a durable Android smartphone, but the S10 Plus was improved on this device. It is equipped with an ultra-wide camera, longer battery life, better software with a UI, and Can charge other devices wirelessly.

Samsung's S10 and S10 Plus have Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, Super AMOLED Infinity-O display, 8GB RAM (12GB option), storage options from 128GB to 1TB, and a microSD card with a larger capacity, 5 cameras, IP68 rating, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5, ANT+, and stunning design, with gorgeous color options.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus continues to have all the excellent basic Galaxy features, such as high water resistance, fast wireless charging, stunning super AMOLED screen, expandable microSD storage, 3.5mm headphone jack, and more. In addition, extending it to an external display with Samsung DeX is quick and easy, while also providing a fully functional desktop experience. Through the wireless technology behind the S10 Plus, other devices and equipment can be charged, such as the new Galaxy Buds, which is very convenient for people on business trips.

The Galaxy S10 Plus has been on the market for 6 months, which means you can often get special offers from your favorite carrier. Amazon usually offers more affordable prices than Samsung or carriers. The Galaxy S10 starts at $899.99, while the S10 Plus 8GB/128GB starts at $999.99. With the release of the S20 series, Samsung lowered the price of the S10 series by $150.

Pixel 4 and 4 XL

If you want an Android phone that always has the latest firmware and security updates, while also providing a pretty good storage experience, then there is nothing better than Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL. Except for the size and battery capacity, the two phones are the same.

                                Image source – Google| Image by androidauthority.com

Google Pixel 4 XL has a large 6.8-inch 18:9 display, Snapdragon 855 processor, 6GB RAM, 64GB and 128GB storage, dual rear 16MP, and 122mp cameras, 8MP front camera, IP68 dust and water resistance, 3700mAh Battery, dual front stereo speakers. The smaller Pixel 4 has a 5.7-inch display and a smaller 2,800 mAh battery. The remaining specifications are the same as the Pixel 4 XL model.

Unfortunately, the storage space we see is only 64GB, especially when Google no longer provides free unlimited full-resolution photo backup. For Pixel 4 and 4xl, battery life is an issue, especially when compared to other flagship products in this price range, they provide you with at least one day of use. In addition to the software being the focus of Google, the camera is another reason to buy Pixel 4 or 4xl. However, when other phones have three to four rear cameras, Google only added one and used ultra-wide-angle telephoto, so the Pixel 4 camera may not be as useful as your other smartphones on this list.

The smaller Pixel 4 starts at $799, while the 64GB Pixel 4 XL starts at $899. Both phones are equipped with the Android 10 system and will receive a three-year operating system upgrade. The monthly Android security updates are the most important software support for businesses because major firmware updates tend to disrupt performance and become unstable.

iPhone SE (2020)

Apple is not known for producing high-quality and inexpensive phones, but the iPhone SE is a perfect choice for those who want to experience the iPhone without paying high prices. As a person who mainly uses Android phones, this is also a good choice when you want to use the iOS system.

The iPhone SE is smaller than almost all other modern phones and looks like the iPhone 8. However, Apple's bionic A13 processor, IP67 high dust/water resistance, and 12 million pixel camera are its core. At this price point, you can’t find a cheap Android phone with all these features. It’s great to see that Apple offers such an affordable option at this time.

Fans of Apple iPhone may also want an iPhone 11 or later, but this is a good choice for the first iPhone and a good choice for those who don’t want to give up the Touch ID button.
