The Android operating system (OS) has come an awfully long way since the first version rolled out back in 2008. While early releases lacked the polish of iOS - Apple\u2019s slick OS for iPhones<\/a> and iPads - it soon caught up, adding features, security, and massive improvements in usability. Today more than 70% of the world\u2019s phones run Android. But with so much choice, how do you pick a winner? Read on and we\u2019ll guide you through the Best Android phones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A brief guide to Android<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

Before you buy an Android phone, it pays to bone up on what\u2019s new in the operating system, and what you can expect from the latest phones. It\u2019s also worth understanding the key differences from iOS.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Who owns Android?<\/h5>\n

While Apple owns iOS, and generally offers free updates for at least seven years, Android is different. Google is the project\u2019s main sponsor and is usually seen as its owner, but technically it\u2019s an open-source project, meaning it\u2019s updated by a community. When you buy an Android phone it\u2019s up to its manufacturer to offer updates - some are quicker than others at rolling them out.<\/p>\n

Do all Android phones have the same user experience?<\/h5>\n

Buy an iPhone, update it to the latest version of iOS, and you\u2019ll get an almost identical experience to any other iPhone. That\u2019s not true of Android, which is often customised by phone makers with their own tweaks. While that can add model-specific features, it\u2019s not always a good thing: some non-standard features work better than others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

When do new Android versions launch?<\/h5>\n

Each new version of Android generally lands around September each year. You\u2019ll find it first on Google\u2019s Pixel<\/a> phones. Android 12 - the latest release - launched on the Google Pixel 6 range in October 2021, and older Pixels got the update just a couple of weeks later. Other devices get updates more slowly, as their manufacturers tweak and test the OS for their own phones.<\/p>\n

Android devices also get a combined bug fix and security update. Again, Google devices get this every month, while some other phones get a cumulative patch a little less often.<\/p>\n

How long will my Android phone get updates?<\/h5>\n

Android phones don\u2019t receive updates for as long as iPhones, although the situation is improving. Again, Google is among the leaders here, backing up earlier Pixel phones with three years of Android updates and security patches. With the Pixel 6 range, this has increased to three years of OS updates, with five years of security.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

To sum up, Android is a similarly slick and much more open alternative to iOS. You can choose from a wider range of phones, and get more apps from a range of sources - not just one \u2018official\u2019 store. The flipside is that there\u2019s a wider range of quality on offer, too. Android is generally at least a match for iOS in terms of ease of use, quality and stability, but Apple is the clear winner when it comes to length of support.<\/p>\n

Boil that all down and the important message is that Android is a great operating system, spanning a greater range of phones - from those which can\u2019t hold a candle to an iPhone, to serious rivals. So which are the best Android phones, and why?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is the top-of-the-line model in Samsung\u2019s flagship S21 range. And with a recommended price north of \u00a31,000, it\u2019s about as expensive as Android phones get. Fortunately it\u2019s got the specification to justify it. its giant 6.8\u201d OLED has a 1,440x3,200 resolution - more than you\u2019ll find on any iPhone. At the back there\u2019s a quad-camera setup featuring a market-leading 108MP wide camera and 10x periscope zoom. With digital enhancement, this will extend to a crazy 100x.<\/p>\n

This phone is designed and built to feel as special as an iPhone and, despite its size, it carries it off. It\u2019s powered by Samsung\u2019s Exynos 2100 processor, which is among the fastest you\u2019ll find on an Android phone. Although it won\u2019t keep pace with a recent iPhone on most benchmarks, it\u2019ll still plough through any real life test you care to throw at it.<\/p>\n

Samsung hasn\u2019t always been best at rushing out Android updates, but the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is expected to get Android 12 in December 2021 - just a couple of months after the Google Pixel line. It\u2019s also slated to get updates as far as Android 14 in 2023, helping to give it some long-term appeal.<\/p>\n

The iPhone 13 Pro is faster and has a better camera overall, but otherwise this phone is a worthwhile alternative. If you want a fast, loaded Android phone with an unrivalled zoom, buy a new or refurbished Samsung S21 Ultra 5G<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nearest iPhone?<\/strong> Priced between the iPhone 13<\/a> and iPhone 13 Pro<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Pixel phones are known for offering a strong set of features at a mid-range price, but with the Pixel 6 Pro, Google is taking aim at Apple. It\u2019s a faster, slicker, sexier Pixel than ever before, with a price that places it midway between the iPhone 13 and Phone 13 Pro. This is a well-specced phone with some cool features - including the latest and best version of Android.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 6 range were the first phones to launch with Android 12. Like all Pixels, they\u2019ll receive three years of OS updates, but Google has also promised five years of regular security updates. While that\u2019s not quite up to iOS standards, it\u2019s as future-proof as Android phones get. Pixel phones are the first to get new versions of the operating system, and they benefit from a near-stock version of Android, enhanced with well chosen Pixel-only features.<\/p>\n

This pure Android experience is a big part of the draw, but there\u2019s plenty more to enjoy in the Pixel 6 Pro. It\u2019s powered by Google\u2019s own Tensor processor, giving it much more poke than previous Pixels - it\u2019s one of the fastest Android phones in 3D benchmarks. More importantly, Tensor powers exciting new AI-enhanced features, such as Magic Eraser - which can automatically touch photobombers out of your selfies.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 6 Pro looks and feels different. While it\u2019s not quite a match for the iPhone 13 Pro, it\u2019s a genuinely distinctive alternative. If you\u2019re looking for an Android phone that will hold its value - and your attention - this is a great iPhone alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nearest iPhone?<\/strong>About the price of a new iPhone 12<\/a>
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Pixel 6 launched alongside the Pixel 6 Pro in October 2021. It\u2019s a de-specced version of the flagship handset, with a smaller, more basic OLED screen, a less impressive selfie camera, and no telephoto lens on the main camera. In most other respects it\u2019s a match for its pro-level sibling.<\/p>\n

This phone is powered by Google\u2019s Tensor processor, which supports neat features such as live on-phone translations, along with a range of exciting photo features. Like other Pixels, it\u2019ll be one of the first phones to get the latest, purest version of Android - it already has 12, and will probably go all the way to 15 before updates end in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Pixel 6 undercuts the entry-level iPhone 13 by almost \u00a3200 - it\u2019s about the price of a new iPhone 12<\/a>. Despite this it offers unique tools you won\u2019t yet find on iOS. Among these, Google\u2019s Personal Safety app offers features including car crash detection - where the phone can contact emergency services if you fail to respond after a big impact.<\/p>\n

Serious photographers and filmmakers should probably look elsewhere, but if you want a mid-range phone balancing features and performance with a pure Android experience, the Pixel 6 has you covered. It\u2019s a great choice for iOS converts who want a painless Android introduction. But if you want a similar experience on the cheap, snap up a new Pixel 4a<\/a> while you still can.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

OnePlus 9 Pro

Nearest iPhone?<\/strong>iPhone 13 Pro features, but nearer the iPhone 13 on price <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

OnePlus has something of a history of making phones that punch well above their price, and the OnePlus 9 Pro is the best example yet. Sure, it\u2019s more expensive than anything the brand has offered before, but with a top-end spec and a seriously upgraded camera, it still offers great value.<\/p>\n

This phone is built around a 6.7\u201d display offering a greater resolution than anything you\u2019ll find on an iPhone. At the back, a quad-camera setup offers a 48MP wide camera, an 8MP telephoto camera, and an unusual 2MP dedicated mono camera. There\u2019s also a 50MP ultra-wide. Co-developed by photography legends Hasselblad, this is one of the best cameras you\u2019ll find on a phone - the ultra-wide lens in particular is unrivalled.<\/p>\n

The OnePlus 9 Pro lags behind the latest iPhones for performance, but it\u2019s just about the fastest Android phone on Geekbench 5, which assesses number-crunching power. It\u2019s not quite the fastest for 3D graphics, but it\u2019s in the top handful of handsets.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a downside, it\u2019s that this phone doesn\u2019t offer a particularly pure Android experience. OnePlus phones run OxygenOS, a bespoke version of Android offering extra features such as Private Safe secured storage, and the OnePlus Shelf for shortcuts. The extra features aren\u2019t to everyone\u2019s taste, and OnePlus has previously been criticised for slow updates that don\u2019t continue for as long as they might. This seems to be changing - the OnePlus 9 Pro will get three years of Android support and four years of security updates. Meanwhile OxygenOS 12 - based on Android 12 - entered beta stage in October 2021.<\/p>\n

If you can live with OxygenOS - and some people love it - this is a fantastic flagship phone at a truly competitive price. If you want features to rival the iPhone 13 Pro, but the flexibility of Android, you can do a lot worse than seek out one of our OnePlus deals.<\/p>\n

Why buy?<\/strong>The best small Android phone<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nearest iPhone?<\/strong>iPhone SE (2020)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

It probably seems rude for us to add yet another Google Pixel to the list - especially one that\u2019s more than a year old - but the Pixel 4a is here for good reason. Its 5.8\u201d screen makes it one of the smallest Android phones out there - an important choice for people who value portability above big-screen movies and games. It\u2019s also reasonably cheap.<\/p>\n

Released in August 2020, the Pixel 4a was always a mid-range phone, and with age it\u2019s slipped further down the order. It\u2019s missing 5G or waterproofing, and it\u2019s got a comparatively basic single 12MP camera on the back. Its biggest weakness is probably its Snapdragon 730G processor, which is well behind the best Android competition - let alone an iPhone.<\/p>\n

Despite all this, the Pixel 4a remains a great Android phone. It\u2019s already on Android 12, and should live to see at least Android 13 before support runs out in August 2023. Like all Pixels, it offers a pure Android experience, enhanced with a few well-chosen Pixel-only features. These include Google\u2019s Recorder app, which automatically transposes speech, and Cinematic Pan for ultra-smooth handheld panning videos.<\/p>\n

This phone\u2019s OLED screen is only 1,080x2,340, but that\u2019s a massive improvement over the 4.7\u201d LCD you\u2019d get in an iPhone SE (2020) - which costs more and isn\u2019t that much smaller. An iPhone 12 mini<\/a> is both smaller and better than the Pixel 4a, but it costs \u00a3230 more - at least if you go by Google and Apple\u2019s prices.<\/p>\n

All told then, the Pixel 4a is a good value small-rounder. While it can\u2019t match any iPhone for processing power, it\u2019s better overall - and cheaper - than an iPhone SE (2020). If you want pure Android and a good feature set on a compact phone, a new or refurbished Google Pixel 4a<\/a> is ideal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
