Android fans will absolutely love what Google's cooked up here. The Pixel 11 Pro puts Google's Tensor G6 chip inside a 6.3-inch body with an OLED display that adjusts from 1Hz to 120Hz and reaches up to 3,600 nits of peak brightness. For photos, its triple camera has a 50MP main sensor, a 48MP ultrawide lens, and a 48MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom. There's also a 42MP ultrawide selfie camera on the front. Google added a HiLight notification light with this iteration of the phone as well, and the 4,850mAh battery supports 30W wired charging and 25W Qi2.2 magnetic wireless charging. It's a great all-rounder, but especially good on the photography front.

Not every phone has to cost an entire paycheck to function as a reliable piece of tech. The Moto G Play LTE has a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling, and its stereo speakers support Dolby Atmos when you're watching videos or listening to music. It has a Snapdragon 680 processor and 4GB of RAM to keep things running smoothly, with a 5,000mAh battery that recharges at up to 15W. Its 50MP rear camera uses Quad Pixel technology to pull in more light, and if the 64GB of built-in storage fills up, you can add more with a microSD card. Plus, it's an attractive phone that'll look unlike much of the competition for much, much less.

If you're looking for a premium phone, this one should more than do the trick. The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED screen with a built-in privacy display. When it's on, the screen looks normal straight ahead but gets harder to read from the side. You can even set it to switch on automatically when notifications arrive, when you type a password, or when you open specific apps. A 200MP main camera with an f/1.4 aperture sits alongside a 50MP ultrawide and two telephoto lenses at 3x and 5x, and the S Pen slides right into the phone. It also comes with a slew of Galaxy AI features.
