10 Best Android Phones of 2019 (New, Unlocked, and Cheap)

You can find all of our latest buying guides here.Updated for October 2019: We've eliminated several phones and added the OnePlus 7T, Galaxy Note 10: the Pixel 3A, OnePlus 7 Pro, and two Moto G7s. The interface is speedy because it runs on a great new midrange Snapdragon processor, and it gets monthly security updates and regular feature updates directly from Google (most phones don't).The only downsides: It's splashproof, not waterproof; it doesn't have a notch (is that bad?); and it has no wireless charging.Works on all four major networksThe OnePlus 7T (9/10, WIRED Recommends) offers a lot of luxury features we'd expect from a top-tier phone in 2019. Most phones won't get Android 10 for another six to 12 months.Works on all four major US networks.Samsung's Galaxy S phones haven't topped a list I've made in years, but the Galaxy S10 series really nailed it (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The OnePlus 7 Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends) comes with 256 GB of storage, 8 GB of RAM, and a cutting-edge Snapdragon 855 processor.Moreover, it has the best display I've seen on a phone, which refreshes at a very fast 90 Hz; extra nice for gaming. We've linked to the OnePlus store, but you can also order it at T-Mobile.Works on all four major US networks.The Moto G7 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) is a cheap phone without as many caveats as you might expect. The camera is also very good for the price, and won't let you down under most circumstances—though it will still have some trouble capturing the best shots in extreme lighting environments like at a concert.In this year's phone, Moto included a nicer display and a lovely glass back that you'll want to promptly protect with a durable case, like most phones.Works on all four major US networks.The Moto G7 Power has less memory and a lower resolution display than the standard Moto G7, but it's still not bad if your needs are basic. But if you cannot find a G7, it's your best option for audio.Works on all four major networksThe Galaxy Note 10 is a ginormous Android phone (8/10, WIRED Recommends).
