The super-fast data speeds of 5G aren’t just limited to the wealthy — we’re now seeing the service become available on much more affordable handsets. What once seemed like a distant dream is now common, with all of the top phones released in the last year, including the iPhone 13<\/span> series and Samsung’s Galaxy S21<\/span>, being fully enabled to take advantage of those 5G phone speeds. The Pixel 6<\/span> arrived recently too, though the picture regarding 5G is rather murky<\/span> for Google’s new flagship phone.<\/p>\n

Though\u00a0it won’t replace 4G in its entirety<\/span>, 5G is the next generation of mobile connectivity.\u00a05G<\/span>\u00a0works fast, and\u00a0many industries will benefit<\/span>\u00a0from the new network, including drones, self-driving cars and the internet of things. Its growth across the US, the UK and the wider world has been fast, but it’s still not everywhere, so make sure 5G coverage is available — or at least coming soon — in your area before you splash the cash on a 5G-enabled handset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember that a 5G phone will still work as normal on a 4G network (albeit at lower speeds) so don’t be afraid of buying a 5G phone like the S21 Ultra even if you’re not in a 5G zone. It’s good practice to future-proof yourself; you may not be in a 5G zone right now, but it may well be that 5G will come to your area in the three years or so you have your phone, so at least you’ll be ready to take advantage of it when it arrives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But with 5G handsets being offered by every major phone manufacturer now, it can be difficult to work out which is best for you. We’ve done some of the hard work and put together our list of our top 5G-enabled phones that you can go and buy right now.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At $899, the Google Pixel 6 Pro undercuts rivals on price while including so much value. It comes with a flagship camera setup, new AI features, a crisp display and a distinctive design. If you only have $600 to spend, you get get the lower-end Pixel 6, which still sports the flagship cameras and a big screen.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S21 Ultra is the best phone Samsung makes right now, packing everything you’d expect from an elite flagship phone. It’s got a big, vibrant screen and an incredible rear camera setup (including a zoom lens unlike anything we’ve seen). It’s absolutely stuffed with power. This Android phone doesn’t come cheap, but it’s the 5G phone to go for if you’re looking for the best of the best in an Android handset.<\/p>\n

Despite its high price tag and being a Verizon exclusive in the US, the\u00a0Edge Plus<\/a>\u00a0is still a premium 5G smartphone worth looking into. This 5G phone features a Snapdragon 865 chipset, a giant battery, an OLED screen with a high refresh rate and multiple rear cameras with heavy-duty specs. As CNET’s Patrick Holland declared, it’s “one of the most wonderful Android phones I’ve tried in a long time.”<\/p>\n

The OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro impressed with their excellent performance, their slick designs and their generally decent cameras. While both are 5G signal enabled, it was the base OnePlus 9 that particularly wowed us, with its much better battery life and its more affordable price tag. It’s the phone to go for if you want a flagship experience but don’t want to empty your bank account to get it.<\/p>\n

The Samsung Galaxy A52 5G sports a 6.5-inch AMOLED display with a high-refresh rate that can be set to either 120Hz or 60Hz. The phone features four rear cameras and the main one is really good. On days with lighter use or when the display is set to 60Hz, you can easily get the 4,500-mAh battery to last 1.5 days. The Galaxy A52 5G is the best 5G smartphone under $500.<\/p>\n

The Xperia 5 II<\/a>\u00a0is a pricey but gorgeous phone for users who like to play games, shoot photos and record video. Its 120Hz display is silky smooth and its quasi mirrorless camera can record 4K 120fps video. And while it can connect to 5G, the US model of the phone cannot.<\/p>\n
