The Pixel 8a is the under-$500 smartphone to get, and I’m not talking just Android. The product’s design, performance, camera quality, cutting-edge Android experience, and immaculate futureproofing leave rivals that cost the same (or less) in the dust.
I spent more than a week testing Galaxy S23 Ultra — and I can genuinely say that it’s today’s finest, most feature-packed big-screen Android phone by a massive margin.
The Pixel 7 Pro is hands down the best big-screen Android phone under $1,000. Its design, camera performance, and Android experience are better than what any rival in its price range has to offer.
The Pixel 6a is a solid upgrade from its predecessor and is worth every penny of its $449 asking price.
The OnePlus 10 Pro is the best alternative to the finest Samsung and Google Androids. Hardware specs are always important when shopping for an Android phone, and if you're looking for the best under $1,000, you should definitely consider the 10 Pro.
Its standout design, top-tier performance, and years’ worth of guaranteed timely updates — all at a lower price point — make it a phone worth upgrading to.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are a technological tour de force with best-in-class craftsmanship and hardware performance, as well as an iOS 15 platform that’s designed to take full advantage of their advanced capabilities.
As nice as it is having a smaller-sized phone that’s easier to handle and pocket, what I love most about the iPhone 13 mini is that it doesn’t require you to compromise on features or performance.
The newcomer is a legit Android powerhouse, and comes with an elegant design, too, creating a perfect marriage between performance and build (the camera bump alone is a bona fide masterpiece).
