We’ve seen an increase in the number and variety of handsets available for 5G since its roll-out in 2019. 5G phone plans are now available for all budgets as coverage increases across the country.
There is so much choice on the market that you might wonder what the best 5G handsets are in 2021. We have compiled a list of potential candidates and each one offers something different.
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is perhaps the most striking member of Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series. It boasts an eye-catching 6.8-inch quad HD display screen with Samsung’s AMOLED 2x technology and a contoured metal frame. This phone is tougher than it looks – Gorilla Glass Victus provides the most robust protection for the back and front.
This Android 11 handset showcases creativity and some first-time features. The quality of photos plays a significant part. The display’s top-facing 40MP camera is hidden, while the rear boasts a 108MP wide camera. The camera is accompanied by a 12MP ultra-wide camera and dual 10MP Telephoto cameras that offer up to 100x zoom for closeups. Super Steady Shot is included with an 8K video, ensuring that you capture the best footage possible when the opportunity arises. This Galaxy S series member is the first to come with an S Pen. It can take notes or draw, plus it serves as an extra clicker for taking pictures or scrolling through documents.
You’ll enjoy 5G surfing longer with a powerful 5,000 mAh lithium battery that charges via either 25W Super Fast Charging, Fast Wireless Charging, or 4.5 Wireless Share.
iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone Pro Max is an excellent choice for iPhone users looking for a 5G-enabled phone loaded with features, high specs, and new tech. The iPhone 12 Pro Max is the largest model in the iPhone 12 range. Its stunning 6.7-inch screen has a sharp 1284 x 2778 resolution. It is the ideal phone for streaming 5G at super-fast speeds and provides the perfect picture to watch movies on Apple TV + and Netflix. MagSafe can increase wireless charging speeds up to 15W and ensures your phone never runs out of juice.
Apple’s A14 Bionic Chip is housed inside, and its operating system is the intuitive iOS 14, all covered by a tough surgical stainless steel exterior and enhanced by frosted glass.
The exterior features grab attention, along with the design. The triple-lens rear setup with a 12MP ultra-wide lens, 12MP telephoto lens, and 12MP wide-angle lens – along with Night Mode – ensures high-quality pictures at any time of day. Deep Fusion, Smart HDR3, and a pioneering LiDAR scanner to capture your photos are just a few of the features available. Video editing is taken to a higher level with the 4K Dolby Vision, a pro-filmmaker endorsement.
