Customization is important because it helps make smartphones truly our own. But since no two people are truly alike, the most important freedom that Android offers is being able to choose the perfect phone to fit our specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a wide selection of Android phones is a good thing, but with so many Android phones to choose from, picking the right one can become a bit overwhelming. But don\u2019t worry &#8212; Swappa\u2019s here to help you find the best Android phone for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to pick the right Android phone for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many points to consider when selecting your next Android phone \u2013 screen size, processor, battery life, RAM, cameras, software, and more. But not all of these features matter equally to all people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gamers and power users demand the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, whereas those primarily using their phones to browse the web or stay in touch with family and friends can save money on something a bit older. Similarly, large screens and huge batteries are great for content consumption and productivity &#8212; but not everyone wants to lug around a gigantic device everywhere they go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jump to:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><ul><li><a href=\"#hot\">Hottest new Android phones in 2021<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#camera\">Best Android phone camera<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#gaming\">Best Android phone for gaming<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#battery\">Android Phone with the best battery life<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#small\">Best small Android phone<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#budget\">Best budget Android phone under $300<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#cheap\">Best cheap Android Phone under $200<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#recap\">Swappa\u2019s Quick Picks<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hot\">Hottest new Android phones in 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Samsung <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/samsung-galaxy-s21\/\">recently unveiled<\/a> its latest-generation Galaxy S21 flagships at CES 2021.

Both S21 variants feature a great camera with 3x telephoto and ultrawide lenses, 5G wireless connectivity, a visually stunning \u201cContour Cut\u201d industrial design, 8GB of RAM, and the latest Snapdragon 888 processor &#8212; the fastest processor you can find on an Android device today. The Galaxy S21 Ultra builds on this by also offering 10x periscope zoom, a higher resolution 1440p display, a 40MP f\/2.2 selfie camera, and up to 12GB of memory for limitless multitasking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table table-condensed table-hover\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><\/th><th><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/samsung-galaxy-s21-5g\">Samsung Galaxy S21<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/samsung-galaxy-s21-plus-5G\">Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus<\/a><\/strong><\/th><th><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/samsung-galaxy-s21-ultra-5g\">Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra<\/a><\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Processor<\/strong><\/td><td>Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 (8-core)<\/td><td>Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 (8-core)<\/td><td>Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 (8-core)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Screen Size<\/strong><\/td><td>6.2 inches&nbsp;<\/td><td>6.7 inches&nbsp;<\/td><td>6.8 inches<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Display Technology<\/strong><\/td><td>Dynamic AMOLED 2x<br>Infinity-O Display<\/td><td>Dynamic AMOLED 2x<br>Infinity-O Display<\/td><td>Dynamic AMOLED 2x<br>Infinity-O Display<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Display Resolution<\/strong><\/td><td>2400&#215;1080 pixels, 421 ppi<\/td><td>2400&#215;1080 pixels, 394 ppi<\/td><td>3200&#215;1440 pixels, 515 ppi<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Refresh Rate<\/strong><\/td><td>48-120 Hz<\/td><td>48-120 Hz<\/td><td>10-120 Hz<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>S-Pen Stylus Support<\/strong><\/td><td>No<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Rear Cameras<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Wide-angle:<\/strong> 12MP, f\/1.8, 26mm<br><strong>Ultrawide:<\/strong> 12MP, f\/2.2, 13mm<br><strong>Telephoto:<\/strong> 64MP, f\/2.0, 29mm<\/td><td><strong>Wide-angle:<\/strong> 12MP, f\/1.8, 26mm<br><strong>Ultrawide:<\/strong> 12MP, f\/2.2, 13mm<br><strong>Telephoto:<\/strong> 64MP, f\/2.0, 29mm<\/td><td><strong>Wide-angle:<\/strong> 108MP, f\/1.8, 26mm<br><strong>Ultrawide:<\/strong> 12MP, f\/2.2, 13mm<br><strong>Telephoto:<\/strong> 10MP, f\/2.4, 70mm<br><strong>Periscope Zoom:<\/strong> 10MP, f\/4.9, 240mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Selfie Camera<\/strong><\/td><td>10MP, f\/2.2, 26mm<\/td><td>10MP, f\/2.2, 26mm<\/td><td>40MP, f\/2.2, 26mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Storage<\/strong><\/td><td>128GB, 256GB<\/td><td>128GB, 256GB<\/td><td>128GB, 256GB, 512GB<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>RAM<\/strong><\/td><td>8GB RAM<\/td><td>8GB RAM<\/td><td>8GB or 12GB RAM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Battery<\/strong><\/td><td>4000 mAh<\/td><td>4800 mAh<\/td><td>5000 mAh<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dimensions<\/strong><\/td><td>71.2mm (w) x 151.7mm (h) x 7.9mm (d)<\/td><td>75.6mm (w) x 161.5mm (h) x 7.8mm (d)<\/td><td>75.6mm (w) x 165.1mm (h) x 8.9mm (d)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>171g<\/td><td>202g<\/td><td>229g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Water Resistance<\/strong><\/td><td>IP68 water and dust resistance<\/td><td>IP68 dust and water resistance<\/td><td>IP68 dust and water resistance<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Release Date<\/strong><\/td><td>January 29, 2021<\/td><td>January 29, 2021<\/td><td>January 29, 2021<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>MSRP<\/strong><\/td><td>$799+<\/td><td>$999+<\/td><td>$1199+<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Swappa Price<\/strong><\/td><td>$570<\/td><td>$825<\/td><td>$925<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although these premium Galaxy phones come with similarly premium price tags, Swappa can help you upgrade for less.

The current-generation <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/samsung-galaxy-note-20-5g\">Galaxy Note 20 5G<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/samsung-galaxy-note-20-ultra-5g\">Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G<\/a> are the best Galaxy Note devices yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its humble beginnings in 2011, the Galaxy Note has evolved into a productivity powerhouse thanks to its large screen, Wacom-powered S-Pen technology, and innovative software. And since Samsung packs every note with a huge battery pack, you can expect to get over a full day of heavy use on a Galaxy Note without having to recharge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, the best Note is the Galaxy Note 20 5G. Released in August 2020, the Note 20 5G features the speedy Snapdragon 865+ processor, 8GB of RAM, 128 or 256GB of internal storage, and a massive 4300 mAh battery.

With the push towards larger screens, devices with diminutive dimensions have become less popular. However, there are still a few great small phones out there. Our choice of the best small Android phone has to go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/buy\/google-pixel-4\">Google Pixel 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming in at just 147 x 68.8 x 8.2mm, the Pixel 4 is one of the smallest Android phones that you can buy. But thanks to its relatively slim bezels, the Pixel 4 manages to cram in a large 5.7-inch screen running at 1080 x 2280 resolution and up to 90Hz refresh rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we mentioned earlier when highlighting the best Android camera phones, the Pixel 4 is a powerful device that packs plenty of modern features, a phenomenal camera, and the pure Google Experience. And since it\u2019s a Pixel device, the Pixel 4 will continue to get first-party Android software updates months before Samsung, LG, and even OnePlus phones do. With prices starting at under $250, the Pixel 4 is just an all-around phenomenal phone.

Although they are about three years old now, these former flagships offer large and vibrant displays, fast Snapdragon 845 processors, and good battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Galaxy S9 features a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED with an 84% screen-to-body ratio, 4GB RAM for competent multitasking, Intelligent Scan facial recognition, and a 3000 mAh battery for all-day use. The larger Galaxy S9 Plus improves on this with a 6.2-inch Super AMOLED screen, 6GB RAM for even smoother multitasking, and a larger 3500 mAh battery to make sure you aren\u2019t tethered to the wall. Both former flagships carried premium prices at launch, but you can get them on Swappa for well under $200.
