Tech Roundup: Top 5G Phones You Can Buy Right Now

5G phones are popping up everywhere now. If you’re looking to update your phone and get one that can connect to the 5G network, you’ll want to check out these five great devices.

Apple iPhone 13

The best iPhone for most people is the iPhone 13, which combines the right balance of price, size, and performance. It also has major battery life improvements over previous iPhone models.

Pros – Long battery life – Smooth performance – Fantastic photo quality

Cons – Minor upgrade over the iPhone 12.

The iPhone 13 is a medium-sized, medium-priced, and medium-powered smartphone. It has roughly the same 5G signal strength as the iPhone 12 but with a much longer battery life, so you can forget that “turn 5G off to save battery” silliness.

Samsung Galaxy S22+

The Samsung Galaxy S22+ packs top-notch performance and connectivity into a compact, feature-packed device that’s hard to beat.

Pros – Top-notch performance – Excellent cellular reception – True 3x zoom camera

Cons – Photos may be a little washed out – 45W charging is helpful, but it won’t make a big difference in speed

The Galaxy S22+ and the S22 Ultra outperform last year’s phones, as well as current iPhones and Pixels, in 5G performance.

Google Pixel 6 Pro

When it comes to flagship phones, Google’s Pixel 6 Pro is at the top of its game. The phone has killer battery life, fast performance, excellent cameras, and unbeatable Android software.

Pros – Fantastic battery life – Smart, Pixel-exclusive features – Excellent durability – Solid connectivity

Cons – Certain camera features aren’t easy to use

The Google Pixel 6 Pro’s 5G reception isn’t as good as some other devices, but the phone’s overall performance makes up for it. The Pixel software is faster and smoother than any other variant of Android, and the AI-powered camera stack is terrific.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

With the best camera and battery life of any iPhone, the 13 Pro Max is the ultimate mobile content creation machine.

Pros – Excellent cameras – Super-long battery life – Gorgeous display

Cons – Big and heavy – New camera isn’t much of an improvement

If you’re going to shoot many photos and videos and do some editing directly on your device, the 13 Pro Max is a solid option. It has a larger screen and better cameras than the base iPhone 13 and the longest battery life we’ve seen on an iPhone.

Apple iPhone 13 Mini

The iPhone 13 mini offers fast connectivity in a pocket-friendly package.

Pros – Powerful, pocket-sized smartphone – Beautiful build – Better battery life than iPhone 12 mini

Cons – Shortest battery life of all iPhone 13 models

The iPhone 13 mini is a small 5G phone, but it still manages to stay connected and has decent battery life.
