Pixel 5, OnePlus 8T, Galaxy FE

Apple’s new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are excellent phones, but some people prefer Android devices.

There are three really good Android phones that have recently launched that you should know about, if you want to upgrade, but don’t want an iPhone 12 they all include 5G like the new iPhone, so you’re future-proof if you If you plan to hold your phone for the next few years, then yourself. They also have a solid camera. And it’s cheaper than the standard iPhone 12, which starts at 99,799.

Samsung’s Galaxy FE was unveiled earlier this month. It offers many of the same features found in Samsung’s more expensive flagship phones, but starts at 9699 instead of 99999 like the Galaxy S20 phones. It’s made of aluminum and plastic – it’s Samsung cut costs in one place – but still has a high-end Qualcomm 865 processor, a sharp and colorful screen, and it’s water resistant. And, like the iPhone 12, it is available in a range of colors like red, blue, purple and green.

It also has some features that the iPhone 12 does not have. It is equipped with a high refresh display, for example, which is easier than on the iPhone 12 for things like scrolling through websites or Twitter. It also has a fingerprint reader under the screen, which is useful for unlocking your phone while wearing a mask (which unlocks facial recognition, like Apple’s FaceID, Strictly). I like that it has a microSD card so I can expand the storage to download more movies and games.

The Google Pixel 5 costs $ 699 and if you want a phone that isn’t too big and easy to use with one hand, this is a great choice. I really like the color screen, great camera and long battery life. It looks really fast, despite being a mid-range Qualcomm processor.

That’s because Google has done a lot of work to optimize the software. On the back is a fingerprint reader – again, useful if you wear a mask – and the iPhone 12 can do some things, like night-mode portrait shots. I also really like the soft-touch aluminum body, which doesn’t burst with fingerprints, and the unique green that Google sells.

After all, the Pixel 5 comes with some Google-specific features that I like that other Android phones don’t have. The voice recorder application, for example, automatically transcribes interviews into text. It can detect if you are in a car crash and dial 911 automatically. It also has spam call screening features.

OnePlus has made a name for itself as a company selling affordable phones with flagship-level specs. Its prices have started to rise sharply in recent years, but the OnePlus 8T returns to the original model, offering high-end specs in the phone starting at just $ 749.

OnePlus phones are also known as Super Speed, and the OnePlus 8T promises that.

It has a colorful and premium metal and glass design, like the iPhone 12, plus a unique feature that I really dig into: it can fully charge in 39 minutes, faster than any other phone I’ve tested. The iPhone 12 charges from 50% in about half an hour. But, you won’t get wireless charging or any certified water resistance rating, I like two things.

Like the Galaxy FE, it has a fingerprint reader that works well and is hidden in the screen. The camera is good enough, but I like the pictures from the Pixel 5 and the Galaxy FA. But, you still get wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle and macro lenses for many types of photos, from pictures of landscapes to really close-up shots.
