Best AT&T Phones Android Central 2020

AT&T is one of the most popular carriers in the United States. Unsurprisingly, that means it sells a plethora of excellent Android phones to give customers as much choice as possible when shopping for their next handset. If you're a little overwhelmed by all of the options and want some help determining which AT&T phone is the best for you, you've come to the right place.

Best overall: Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra

Staff pick

Need a powerful Android phone that can do it all? Look no further than the Galaxy S20 Ultra. It's got a big, brilliant 6.9-inch display, a Snapdragon 865 processor, 5G support, and a 108MP main camera backed by a 100X telephoto and an ultra-wide. Of course, it's also water-resistant, and it supports not just wireless charging, but reverse wireless charging, which lets you top up accessories like the Galaxy Buds+.

Productivity machine: Samsung Galaxy Note 10+

The Note 10+ is remarkably similar to the S20 Ultra in a lot of ways. You get the same outstanding build quality, a massive screen, and excellent cameras, along with the uncontested S Pen stylus. With it, you can take notes, draw, or even use the built-in button as a remote shutter for taking photos and videos. Best of all, the Note 10+ features all-day battery life to keep all of these features running.

Best wired audio: LG G8X ThinQ

For Android lovers in search of an alternative to Samsung, the LG G8X is another great option. It has a 6.4-inch OLED display with tight bezels that make the phone mostly usable with one hand, and LG's Quad DAC is unrivaled in wired audio quality. Even more interesting, you can add a second screen to the G8X for an easier time multitasking, gaming, or even taking photos.

Constant updates: Google Pixel 4 XL

What better way to stay up to date with Android than to buy straight from the source? The Pixel 4 XL is the first in line for any new versions of Android and features high-end specs like a Snapdragon 855 processor. It also takes incredible photos using machine learning; one of the most impressive capabilities of the Pixel's camera is its Astrophotography mode, which lets you shoot stunning photos of the stars.

Best affordable phone: LG Stylo 5+

Not everyone needs to spend upwards of $1000 on a flagship phone. For a fraction of the price, the LG Stylo 5+ still nets you a large 6.2-inch screen, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, a large 3500mAh battery, and even a stylus for precise touch input (though it isn't pressure-sensitive like the Note 10's S Pen). It even carries over the same premium feel of the other phones, with a sleek glass-and-metal design.

Best foldable phone: Samsung Galaxy Fold

The Galaxy Fold is one of the first of its kind; a foldable device that expands from a small-screened candybar phone out to a 7.3-inch mini-tablet that fits into your pocket. The Galaxy Fold offers outstanding battery life, plenty of real estate for multitasking, high-end specs, and six cameras for versatile shooting in any condition. You also get half a terabyte of storage and a Snapdragon 855 processor.

Being one of America's largest carriers, AT&T can offer a wide variety of great phones with fairly flexible financing options. Of course, you can also buy outright to keep your monthly phone bill down.

If you want the most well-rounded phone in AT&T's Android selection, the Galaxy S20 Ultra is the obvious choice that meets almost everyone's needs. Its modern metal and glass design feels just as good as it looks, the 120Hz display is second to none, and the massive camera system lets you take fantastic photos in almost any situation. If you value a stylus for pressure-sensitive drawing and precision touch input, though, the Galaxy Note 10+ will suit you equally well.

Samsung isn't the only brand doing great things though; the LG G8X is another well-rounded flagship with a large screen, tight bezels, and the ability to attach a secondary screen that expands its capabilities. If you're after timely updates and a camera that performs spectacularly well in low light, there's no beating the Pixel 4 XL, especially if you like to dabble in astrophotography from time to time.
