It has a similar size and feature set, and despite being a \u201cbudget\u201d phone, its upgraded hardware will be a huge boost to performance. It\u2019s also amazingly efficient with its size, and it\u2019s a battery champ among Android devices. And on top of all that, its value is unbeatable, with a retail price of just $350.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nThe Best Pixel at Any Price<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Pixel 4a 5G is the alternative if you want the larger \u201cXL\u201d screen size\u2014it also has 5G and a secondary rear camera. It\u2019s $500, a $150 upgrade over the smaller 4a, but that seems fair given its extra screen space and battery power. The 5G is icing on the cake, though I doubt it will be a huge factor in everyday use.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nThey Really Meant the Pixel 4a XL<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pixel_5_Premium_Splurge\"><\/span>Pixel 5: Premium Splurge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_63942\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-63942 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/thumbcache\/0\/0\/6d7e4f1fedb4c4bb00ce4a00abb99683\/p\/uploads\/2020\/12\/x3fa51950.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.yuuCPvfS-D.jpg\" alt=\"Pixel 5\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" data-credittext=\"Cameron Summerson\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cameron Summerson<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Pixel 5 sounds like it\u2019s a year \u201cnewer\u201d than the budget-focused 4a, but that\u2019s just Google\u2019s weird branding: it came out only a few months later. It\u2019s a freakin\u2019 fantastic Android phone, and it\u2019s in the same price range as the Pixel 2 was back in 2017. That said, the extras that you get over the similarly-sized Pixel 4a\u2014wireless charging, 90Hz screen, slightly better camera, and water resistance\u2014don\u2019t seem like they justify double the price.

But the customized software from OnePlus is a close second\u2014some users actually prefer it\u2014and the OnePlus 8 Pro is a fantastic high-end phone. While it can\u2019t quite match the camera quality of Google\u2019s software-enhanced sensors, it comes with a bigger, smoother 120Hz screen and gee-whiz features like 30-watt wireless charging and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. It also has a noticeably faster processor than the Pixel 5, and it was quickly updated to Android 11.

This year is a great time to do it: the iPhone 12 rocks, in pretty much all of its variations. The iPhone 12 Mini is the closest in size to the Pixel 2, with the standard version being pretty close to the Pixel 2 XL. Splurge on the iPhone 12 Pro if you want an unbeatable camera setup. While they\u2019re pricey, that extra money gets you wireless charging and the very cool MagSafe accessory system, a new ceramic glass screen, and super-smooth performance.<\/p>\n<p>But iPhones really shine if you\u2019re all-in on the Apple ecosystem, with particular emphasis put on the Apple Watch. It\u2019s far and away the best wearable on the market, years ahead of any options compatible with Android. Switching over to Apple is an expensive proposition, even if you don\u2019t care about tablets or computers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box\">\nYeah, it&#8217;s really that good<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>setTimeout(function(){!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','1137093656460433');fbq('track','PageView');},3000);<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
