Android devices are known for their variety. Our range of superb phones offer different cutting-edge features – from the latest processors to reverse wireless charging, incredible camera arrays to 120Hz screens. You know which features you need from a smartphone and this guide will help you pick the perfect Android phone for you.
We’ve not just considered the impressive flagship devices on the market. We’ve also covered the best budget Android phones, if you prefer value over features.
Best Android phone cameras
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G’s cutting-edge rear Quad camera system with 108-megapixel Ultra Wide, 12-megapixel Wide-angle and two 10-megapixel Telephoto cameras is paired with a 40-megapixel Selfie camera – we think it’s one of the best camera phones you can buy. The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G, a recent addition to Samsung’s A Series, has a rear Quad camera with 48-megapixel Main, 8-megapixel Ultra Wide, 5-megapixel Macro and 2-megapixel Depth cameras. Both phones have Portrait mode and Night Mode to get stunning shots wherever you are – there’s even a Food mode to snap Insta-worthy treats.
The OPPO Find X3 Pro is just as impressive, with a rear Ultra HD Quad camera setup with 50-megapixel Main, 50-megapixel Ultra Wide, 13-megapixel Telephoto and 3-megapixel Macro cameras that have Beautification Mode for flattering portraits – and Night Mode too. AI Scene Enhancement adjusts colour tones depending on where you are, and Cinematic Mode adds artificial colour reproduction to video, to give your shots a professional look and feel.
The Google Pixel 6 Pro and Google Pixel 6 both come with powerful camera systems to make snapping professional-looking photos a breeze. Both phones come with a 50-megapixel wide and 12-megapixel ultrawide1 camera, and the Pixel 6 Pro comes with a 48-megapixel telephoto camera to capture the smallest details. Both devices come with features including Magic Eraser, which gets rid of unwanted objects in just a few taps2. Motion Mode creates beautiful long-exposure shots with more texture and energy, and Portrait Mode artfully blurs the background to make your subject the focus. Capture brilliant colour and vivid detail with Pixel's computational photography and new pro-level lenses on the most advanced Pixel cameras ever.
If you find an Android phone you love with a triple-lens camera, like the Xiaomi Mi 11 or Sony Xperia 5 III 5G, know that their cameras are just as good. The rule of thumb is that cameras with more lenses are normally superior… but go for the phone with a camera setup that focuses on the features you want. For example, if you want to take close-ups with zoom, a triple-lens camera that includes a telephoto lens might be better than a quad-lens device that’s built for wide-angle photography. It’s not about how many lenses are on the phone - it’s how you use them.
Best water-resistant Android phones
There are several water-resistant Android phones available, although it’s worth bearing in mind that no phone is completely waterproof - always read the manufacturer’s guidelines before you take your phone into freshwater. Devices shouldn’t be exposed to seawater or pool water - so no underwater holiday shots, unfortunately.
Ideally, you want to look for an Android phone with an IP68 rating – these devices currently offer the highest level of protection against freshwater splashes and spills, and is designed to survive underwater for 30 minutes at a depth of 1.5 metres (about 3 feet).
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series and Samsung Galaxy S20 FE series come with an IP68 rating, and so do the Google Pixel 6 Pro, Google Pixel 6, Google Pixel 5 5G, OPPO Find X3 Pro and the OPPO Find X2 Pro.
The Galaxy Z Fold3 and the Galaxy Z Flip3 both have IPX8 water resistance - they're built to withstand submersion in freshwater 1.5m deep for 30 minutes.
The Sony Xperia 5 III 5G has an IP65/68 rating - it’s built to be water resistant and protected against dust, but all ports and attached covers should be firmly closed for full protection.
Best Android phone processors
Hardworking processors mean silky-smooth streaming and high-quality gaming. The OPPO Find X3 Pro, Xiaomi 11T Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 series all come with a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 888 processor - widely seen as the go-to premium processor for 2021. This hardworking chip means faster interactions, better gaming, superb photography and 5G speed◊ with minimal lag.
The Samsung S21 series comes with a Exynos 2100 processor, which offers slightly better CPU performance than the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 888, but a Snapdragon processor has the edge on GPU performance. The Exynos 2100 processor offers powerful computing, gaming, AI, and camera functions. It’s 8K TV-out-ready, so you can watch 8K video shot on smartphones from the sofa.

Best budget 5G Android phones
There’s no denying that flagship 5G devices have it all when it comes to the latest features – however, there are plenty of cheaper options available if you want 5G speeds on Android without the premium price tag. These devices still pack a punch, with impressive displays, powerful processors, and professional-grade cameras.

Choose a cheaper Android phone for great value
Luckily, you don’t need to spend a huge amount of money to buy a budget smartphone. Many of the cheaper 4G Android devices we’ve listed below have the performance and features that would have been standard for flagship devices just a few years ago.
Several Samsung Galaxy A Series phones are dependable, stylish devices with speed, power, and performance to rival newer models. The Galaxy A12 has a 48-megapixel Quad camera, a 6.5-inch display and a 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G
There are several Android smartphones with superb displays, easy-to-use interfaces and the kind of tech which seemed unbelievable a few years ago. However, in terms of best overall Android experience, we’ve gone with the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G.
A stylish, sleek design packed full of incredible features, Samsung’s 2021 flagship device has a 108-megapixel Quad rear camera, a 6.8-inch AMOLED Dynamic 2X display, an adaptable 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and an ultrafast Exynos 2100 processor. It runs on Android 11, which offers better support and security, as well as the usual Google apps and functionality you’d expect from a Samsung device. It weighs just 228g, so slips easily into a pocket or bag, and you can even use the S Pen1 to draw, write, and remotely take photos or control PowerPoint presentations.
