The Best 5G Phones of 2026

The Galaxy S21 Ultra has been described as one of the best phones ever made, and it’s got the luxury features to back it up: as much as 512 GB of storage, a 108-megapixel camera, 8K video capture. Thanks to its intelligent usage monitoring, the battery could also last up to two days on a full charge. It comes in at least five different color options.

Some reviewers are calling the iPhone 12 Mini a triumphant return to form for Apple’s flagship line of devices. From its tough-as-nails Super Retina display to its 4K HDR video recording, there’s a lot of high-end performance packed into this little throwback-sized phone. It’s got the same proprietary chip as the iPhone 12 Pro.

The OnePlus 9 offers plenty of storage space, built-in Alexa integration for Amazon smart-home devices, and quick charge times for both wired and wireless charging. Some users have also claimed that it has a tendency to overheat, however. It’s available in four attractive color schemes.

The Note 20 Ultra’s massive display makes it ideal for things like gaming and use with a smart stylus (like the included “S Pen”). It’s got a 64-megapixel camera and plenty of storage, too, but you may find the battery life lacking as a result of the high-performance processor.

The 2021 Motorola Edge may lack wireless charging or a dedicated headphone jack, but it makes up for it with sharp looks and high-end features reviewers love. From its smooth 144 Hz display to the 108-megapixel camera, it’s hard to go wrong with this option.
