Here are the top premium smartphones you should totally consider buying

The decade of 5G has officially begun in 2020 with the launch of many phones by brands like Samsung and LG. Although 5G is still at a rudimentary stage, low, mid, and high-band networks are available by all top carriers. With so many smartphones launching every year, it’s difficult to choose a phone that’s ideal for you. The best option now would be to pick the latest smartphone with 5G support so that you don’t have to worry about upgrading anytime soon. Here we have listed some of the latest smartphones launched by top mobile brands.

1. Samsung Galaxy S20 Series

Samsung recently announced its Galaxy S20 series in February; their phones are now available to everyone. With the S20 series, Samsung became one of the first brands to introduce 5G technology. At Samsung’s Galaxy UNPACKED 2020 event, the company launched three new devices, namely Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20 Plus, and Galaxy S20 Ultra. Samsung also launched an innovative foldable phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip smartphone.

All of Samsung’s S20 smartphones are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 chipset, AMOLED 120Hz displays ranging from 6.2 to 6.9 inches, 12GB RAM (S20 Ultra has a 16GB variation), 128GB to 512GB inbuilt storage with a microSD for extra storage, and IP68 rating. The battery capacity ranges between 4,000 to 5,000mAh. Although S20 and S20 Plus are equipped with a great camera, the camera specifications of S20 Ultra are unbeatable. The S20 Ultra features a 12MP Ultra Wide-angle, 108MP Wide-angle, 48MP telephoto camera, and an OIS DepthVision camera.

Although the Galaxy S20 series may not be the best smartphone ever, when it comes to 5G and other latest technology, they are tough to beat. Also, if you’re not sure whether the S20 Ultra is worth $1,400+, then buy an S20 or S20 Plus as they are great smartphones, too.

2. Apple iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max

The iPhone 12 is one of the most anticipated phones and is expected to be the brand’s first phone to support 5G. However, as of today, the latest iPhone available in the market is the iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max that was launched on September 10, 2019. The iPhone 11 differs from the Pro only in terms of its display size and battery capacity. The Pro Max, however, is equipped with a larger 6.5 inches display and a more powerful 3969 mAh battery.

The iPhone 11 features a 5.80-inch display with a resolution of 1125 x 2436 pixels at 458 pixels per inch (PPI) density. The phone is powered by the Apple A13 Bionic processor with hexacore CPU. It comes with 4GB RAM with the option of 64GB, 246GB, and 512GB inbuilt storage. As far as the cameras are concerned, the iPhone 11 Pro features a 12MP (f/1.8) wide camera, 12MP (f/2.4) ultrawide camera, and 12MP telephoto camera on the rear and another 12MP (f/2.2) front shooter for selfies.

As face ID remains one of the fastest and most secure methods for phone security, the technology in iPhone 11 Pro has been improved for quick and better performance. While iPhone 11 Pro starts at $999, the Pro Max starts $1,099. Please note that compared to the iPhone 11, the Pro version focuses more on business users.

3. OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren

OnePlus launched its latest flagship, OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren in December 2019. This OnePlus mammoth offers an incredibly smooth performance with a 90Hz refresh rate display, fast UFS 3.0 256GB internal storage, and 12GB RAM. The phone is powered by the superior Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus processor and an octa-core CPU.

The camera setup comprises a triple rear camera with 48MP, 8MP, and 16MP wide, telephoto and ultrawide shooter, respectively. In the front, the 16MP camera ejects from the top exactly when you require it. The phone has a fabulous 6.67-inch AMOLED display, a powerful 4,085mAh battery, and Warp Charge 30T capability. However, OnePlus decided against including the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Like several phones today, there is no camera notch or hole-punch in the display. The front-facing shooter extends and retracts only when in use. This new display design makes the phone ideal for documents and spreadsheets. You also enjoy watching movies during your commute.

The phone runs on the latest version of Android 10 and is regularly updated with Android security updates. There are also distinct Papaya Orange highlights in the phone’s design and other McLaren software features. The OnePlus 7T 5G Pro is an extremely powerful phone at the price of $899.99.

4. LG V60 ThinQ 5G Dual Screen

LG’s latest giant V60 ThinQ 5G was announced recently. While several smartphones and launch events have been delayed in recent weeks, LG launched its brand new phone on March 20, 2020.

The standout feature for LG’s latest is its detachable dual-screen design. This design essentially adds an extra screen to double the built-in 6.8-inch OLED FHD display. The phone is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 865 chipset and a massive battery with a capacity of 5000mAH. It features a 64MP primary rear camera, 13MP wide-angle camera, 117-degree FOV Z camera, and 10MP front shooter. The phone has an inbuilt internal memory of 128GB, which can further be expanded up to an unbelievable 2TB with a microSD card.

With two screens, it’s presumably the best phone in the market when it comes to multi-tasking, getting work done swiftly, and playing heavy games. LG’s V-series phones are focused on video creation and this latest V60 does not break this trend. It is equipped with stereo speakers, featuring four high-performance microphones and AI camera software with advanced video options. It also has an 8K video recording capability to compete with the Samsung S20 series. Unlike several latest smartphones, the LG V60 ThinQ has retained the 3.5mm headset jack, which supports 32-Bit Hi-Fi Quad Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). The amazing LG dual-screen phone starts at $899, which is less than Samsung’s latest flagship.
