iPhone 11
|
2019's iPhone 11 doesn't have a 1080p screen resolution. We wanted to get that out of the way first. Otherwise it's brand new hardware from arguably the best hardware company on the planet and it starts at $700. The screen will be great for the vast majority of users, the processor is top notch, and the camera is great.

Google Pixel 3
|
The Google Pixel 3 takes our top spot **IF** its on sale for less than $500. Otherwise, check out our Honorable Mention the OnePlus 7 Pro. The Pixel 3 has a fantastic camera and Google will back up your pics at full resolution for free until 2022. Stock Android, monthly security updates, wireless charging for under $500 is a great value. Watch for a sale or better yet, ask us to watch for a sale for you. We will monitor pricing and send you a link when the best price is available. We are staying away from the XL version as the notch and price are not preferable.

OnePlus 7 Pro
|
Crazy fast screen, tons of RAM, huge storage, and an all-screen front panel for just $700 (at launch). OnePlus continues to be our "almost the best Android phone you can buy" for 2+ years running. The design on the 7 Pro is impressive to say the least. The mechanical pop-up selfie camera may be a bit of a gimmick but it seems to work well and has held up to durability tests so far. The camera loses to the pixel 3 and you wont't get wireless charging or official water proofing but you shouldn't be afraid of a splash and the warp charger is the fastest on the market.

Google Pixel 3a
|
With arguably the best camera experience available on a smart phone, stock Android, monthly security updates direct from Google, and a price of $399 at launch, the Pixel 3a waltzes easily to the podium as our best budget Android phone. If Google would have crammed wireless charging, more RAM, and unlimited full resolution Google Photos cloud storage into this thing it could have taken the over all top spot. We will have to see how this phone holds up 1-2 years down the line but as of summer 2019 this is a fantastic phone.
