With so many great options to choose from, it can be hard to pick the best Android phone from AT&T’s selection. If you’re a little overwhelmed by all of the options and want some help determining which AT&T phone is the right for you — you’ve come to the right place. Here are some of the best AT&T phones available right now!
Best overall
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra
Staff Pick
Need a powerful Android phone that can do it all? Look no further than the Galaxy S21 Ultra. It has a big, brilliant 6.8-inch display, a Snapdragon 888 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 — and even the S Pen stylus.

Best for less
Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
The Galaxy S20 FE offers almost everything you’ll find in the S21 Ultra (minus the S Pen) in a smaller, much more affordable package. You get the same outstanding build quality (albeit with a plastic back, rather than glass), fantastic cameras (though no 108MP sensor or Space Zoom tech here), and even all-day battery life. This isn’t just one of Samsung’s best phones; it’s one of the best deals in the high-end space, offering phenomenal value for the money.

Best wired audio
Google Pixel 4a 5G
For Android lovers in search of an alternative to Samsung, the Pixel 4a 5G is a great option. It has a 6.2-inch OLED display with tight bezels and great colors, and it’s one of an increasingly slim selection of modern phones with a headphone jack. Adding to that, it’s the first in line for any updates Google releases for Android, guaranteed to stay up to date for at least three years.

Constant updates
Google Pixel 5
What better way to stay up to date with Android than to buy straight from the source? The Pixel 5 is the first in line for any new versions of Android, with at least three years of guaranteed software support. You get a great display, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, and some of the best cameras on the market, thanks to powerful AI and machine learning. One of Pixel’s camera’s most impressive capabilities is its Night Sight shooting mode for getting stunning shots in the dark.

Best affordable phone
Motorola One 5G
Not everyone needs to spend upwards of $1000 on a flagship phone. For a fraction of the price, the Motorola One 5G still nets you a large 6.7-inch screen, a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button, a large 5000mAh battery, and even 128GB of expandable storage. Its cameras won’t blow you away, but the value will, as will its battery life and 90Hz display.

Best foldable phone
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 might be the only phone that’s even better for multitasking than the S21 Ultra. It’s a foldable phone with outstanding build quality and a narrow cover display that folds out into a miniature tablet, opening up a ton of room for running split-screen apps or playing games on the largest screen that can magically tuck away into your pocket. It also features fantastic specs, including the Snapdragon 865+ processor and three powerful rear-facing cameras.

Plenty of options for phones on AT&T
Being one of America’s largest carriers has its perks, one of them being the wide variety of devices you can choose from. We’ve narrowed those choices down to what we think are the best AT&T phones money can buy — all that’s left is for you to decide which of those is right for you. If you want the most well-rounded phone in AT&T’s selection, the Galaxy S21 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 makes One UI 3.1 feel incredibly responsive, and the massive camera system lets you take fantastic photos in almost any situation. On the other hand, if you don’t think you’ll make much use of the S Pen and don’t care for “luxury” materials like metal and glass, the Galaxy S20 FE will get you a nearly identical experience for around half the retail price. Don’t let the word plastic scare you away — the S20 FE feels incredibly solid and performs like a champ.
Of course, Samsung isn’t the only brand doing great things. In particular, the Pixel 5 is one of the “friendliest” phones on the market; both the hardware and software are simple and refined, and you’ll be guaranteed to receive long-term software support (including being the first in line for new platform updates) for at least three years. There’s also its Night Site shooting mode, which lets the Pixel 5 capture equally stunning images, day or not.
