Top 15 Best Smartphones Early 2021

Top or best smartphones that are available in 2021 so far


The first one on the list may be a very well-known phone from a really well-known brand the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra in fact done a couple of videos on this already but the key takeaways are favorite its 6.8 inch AMOLED displays probably the simplest on the market quad HD plus resolution with 120-hertz refresh rate is incredibly bright vibrant buttery smooth on the scroll all the classic tech clichés you'll say a few phone display it's it's great on top of that you simply have a really solid 5000 MAH battery capacity in terms of camera you've got four lenses to float your boat the ultra-wide-angle lens also doubles as a macro shooter so you'll get really up close and private with the good outdoors and therefore the two optical and periscope zoom lenses at 3 times and ten times respectively offer brilliant stability all the high to 100 times zoom if you opt you'd just like the idea of being a budding astronomer, it’s running on android 11 with Samsung’s latest One UI software with up to 16 gigabytes of ram 512gigabytes of storage and it's an ip68water and mud resistant rating great stereo speakers 8k video and a very nice all-round premium build it doesn't have a micro SD card slot anymore Samsung have dropped that and it's pretty expensive.


Next up, we've the Xiaomi mi 11 and this phone for the cash is awesome it’s approximately two thirds the worth of the Galaxy S21 ultra and in some ways , it’s very similar snapdragon 88 chipsets 6.8-inch Quad HD AMOLED display with 120-hertz refresh rate and a 108megapixel primary camera sensor this is often combined with ultra-wide lenses well as a macro completing the triple optical lens array and while there's no zoom lens here for an optical zoom which may be a bit disappointing on the entire you'll take some really fantastic shots 12 gigabytes of ram 256 gigabytes max storage and a 4600 MAH battery cell with fast wide and wireless charging stereo speakers and it's a very beautiful design if you liked curved edges, of course, subjective the software, is MIUI 12 over android 11 and Xiaomi makes a number of the foremost fluid and feature-rich OS going there has historically been a good amount of bloatware apps on Xiaomi smartphone something that apparently is being checked out with the MIUI 12.5 update apparently, they're reducing this and also it isn't quite as on the brink of stock android as some would like but some people swear by Xiaomi's MIUI one reason impossibly won't devour the Xiaomi mi11 immediately is that there are heavy rumours that a professional variant or ultra-model is on the horizon very soon with an upgraded camera unit.


What’s next in fact the One Plus 9 Pro firstly it seems consistent with the newest leaks one plus for his or her next device a minimum of anyway aren't looking to follow the trend of dropping the charger but outside of that it also seems like there's getting to be a couple of pretty nice refinements from the one Plus 8 Pro without being an enormous overhaul a couple of cores focus mainly on camera and battery tech with all the the2021 upgraded spec bumps snapdragon 8 a quad HD plus AMOLED display with a 120hz refresh rate in a the gorgeous little package sounds a touch weird come on getting to advance i feel the apparent 4500 MAH battery cell doesn’t sound the foremost promising but not terrible and still pretty decent but it's more the camera i feel we may even see some huge improvements and that is exciting there's a robust rumour one plus are going to be partnering with Swedish camera manufacturer Hassel bland to assist take their smartphone camera to subsequent level in fact if you recognize Hassel bland i feel I’ve pronounced that right they create incredibly expensive bits of kit they know what they're talking about so hopefully they will bring a number of that expertise For subsequent One Plus phone 65W fast charging and wireless charging also will be included.


Next up, we are talking about the ZTE AXON 25G specs-wise it's good but not great with a snapdragon 765g chipset and a 4220 MAH battery cell with a 90hz refresh rate full HD OLED panel being again good not great and therefore the rear camera albeit it offers great variety with its four lenses it isn't the foremost amazing so you would possibly be thinking why is that this phone on this list well it's what's under the display that's important here this is often the world's first phone to possess a usable front-facing camera buried thereunder actual display in order that we just have all screen and no pop-up camera or notches or punch holes inside I douse the term usable front camera a touch bit loosely because it isn't the foremost amazing in terms of quality but again the technology to suit a camera that comes through the display and allows you to possess that fully bezel-less experience is basically impressive and makes little question about it this type of technology is being experimented with by the likes of Samsung, Apple, Huawei etc. so yeah to urge there first is great and therefore the ZTE won't finish there because they're apparently within the process of creating the ZTE Axon 30 Pro which can apparently be the primary snapdragon 8a8 smartphone with an under the display camera and on top of that it's apparently getting to have a 200-megapixel rear camera so again excited.


Next up we've a budget monster and this came out late last year but still, immediately I’m struggling to seek out one that's quite nearly as good during this area of the sub-200-pound market possibly could have gone with the Xiaomi mi 10 TLITE or the Redmi note 9 pro or 9S or sort of the important Meat 7 Series phones all have their merits but I’ve gone with this one for this video so what can we get for our 200pounds well for starters, there's a 5160 MAH battery cell massive a QUALCOMM snapdragon 732 chip which is upper mid-tier in terms of performance a 120 hertz full HD plus LCD display and a quad-camera setup which yes isn't amazing but it offers decent versatility to urge creative.


Next up, we've another phone that's on the horizon very soon it's the Huawei P50 Pro while we've been a controversial choice from a software point of view over the last year approximately thanks to us and subsequent Google ban but before we touch more on what's to return from a software point of view with the Huawei p50 pro let's check out a number of the potential hardware cameras is usually an enormous focus of the P Series of Huawei devices and therefore the p50 pro are going to be a no different elite photo of the device has surfaced and if real showcases a glance at a five-camera array by the looks of things made from a primary and ultra-wide periscope zoom lens well as a possible macro and timer flight or depth sensor completing the setup while they always roll their new chipsets from their mate series onto the p series so we'll be seeing the Kiran 9000 an incredible five-nanometer chip hugely impressive and competes with the likes of the newest from Apple and Samsung and QUALCOMM etc. leaked renders suggest the thought first started with the p40 proof course to style the phone with a quad curve display may continue and therefore the launch date is thanks to be in march in terms of that software and elephant within the room the Google ban as far as we all know immediately remains in situ and can still be in situ quite whether that's thanks to change within the coming future months is anyone's guess but immediately it seems they'll be launching the p50 pro in two different variants one with android and one with harmony OS the android of the course are going to be running using the Huawei app gallery and not the google play store harmony OS.


Next, we've the Samsung S20 FE or fan edition for a mid-range price you've last year's flagship chip the snapdragon 865 you've got an excellent multi-functional triple camera with a 12-megapixel primary and eight megapixels ultra-wide and a 12-megapixel telephoto offering 3 times optical zoom it isn't fancy it isn't bells and whistles within the camera department but it does all the main things that the majority people want pretty great standard lens an ultra-wide which everyone seems to be all the craze and using and a telephoto lens what more does one necessarily need during a phone once you then think about it's an a120hz AMOLED display stereo speakers a 4500 MAH battery with fast and wireless charging you've got an excellent contender for best all-round phone budget included still immediately on an identical vein of thought of being great in most areas and an excellent all-around phone.


Next up, The one Plus NORD a very impressive phone for the worth looks and feels really premium great design nice 90hz hamlet display a 48-megapixel camera setup and up to 12 gigabytes of ram yes it doesn't have stereo speakers or an optical telephoto lens for instance and therefore the battery at 4115 MH is quite just okay in terms of capacity but the upper mid-range chip the snapdragon 765gis actually surprisingly really powerful for what most of the people use a smartphone for yes it isn't getting to offer you the newest 800 series performance in terms of gaming for instance but all around it does everything rather well almost as complete because the Samsung S20 FE, on the other hand, it is a lot cheaper also just over 300 pounds I feel immediately I’m unsure but around that kind of figure and the last phone during this mini segment we’ve got lots more to return still but during this mini segment of the simplest quite mid to budget phones.


Next up, The Google pixel 4A you'll contribute the Google Pixel 5 if you'd like ed to spend a touch bit more it's a more complete phone but again for the type of budget to mid-range price of the google pixel 4 8 i do not think you'll fail if you want just about the simplest standalone camera available on the market yes it doesn’t have the bells and whistles again of an ultra-wide or a zoom lens except for primary shots normal shots and portrait shots it's fantastic OLED display clean stock google android and snapdragon 730G chip which is not the most powerful but it handles most tasks outside of maybe heavy gaming extremely well and therefore the phone is pretty power-efficient also in order that the not huge 3140 MAH battery cell actually goes a touch bit further than you would expect I could have included 2020 iPhone fantastic chipset great standalone camera but the battery’s really not that great and it is a really dated design on the front so overall what is the point in having a tremendous chip if your phone dies quite quickly outside of that if the battery's not important to you another good option.


Next up is that the iPhone 12 pro, not the Pro Max because I feel with the new sharp sides the width is ridiculously wide making one-handed use and navigation especially swiping back for instance together with your right unless you're left-handed I still am not getting why you cannot roll in the hay from each side on IOS maybe it is a bit too big on behalf of me and therefore the advantages of the camera on the pro max compared to the pro is negligible I do not think the additional money for the camera is basically worthwhile one thing it does outperform the pro on is a battery in fact but if you would like an excellent battery on an iPhone I might just personally accompany the iPhone 11 Pro Max actually features a better battery then the 12 Pro Max confusing except for me, the dimensions of the professional outweighs the additional battery on the professional Max.


Next up, we've another very exciting phone which is on the horizon and it's the OPPO Find X3 pro the Find X2 Pro from last year remains one among my favourite smartphones around immediately an incredible phone decent the camera looks great brilliant display and therefore the OPPO F5 X3 Pro is looking to create on an already winning formula almost like the one plus 9 Pro we expect a 2021 spec bump snapdragon 888 6.7 inch120 hertz quad HD plus display and therefore the main specialise in the camera with a rumoured 50-megapixel rear primary sensor and a possible 25 times zoom microscope lens whatever that's it sounds great can't wait to undertake it as always super pumped?


Next up, The upcoming NUBIA Red Magic Series 6 if you would like a gaming phone this could be the one to chop when it drops apparently in and around the half of this year again we are thanks to seeing the QUALCOMM snapdragon 888 we're meant TOSEE a very high refresh rate display great for gaming in fact really smooth decent sized battery and in fact some brilliant battery tech in terms of charging also not tons of data on this phone thus far but expect something pretty special if the remainder of the red magic phones is anything to travel by really solid gaming smartphones.
