Looking for the Best Android Phone 2022? The smartphone market is a fiercely competitive one, and that’s why there are constantly new phones coming out. Depending on your needs, buying a new phone can be a very good choice.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the perfect upgrade for existing Galaxy Note users, offering the same design language, a built-in S Pen slot and more. Throw in flagship specs including a WQHD+ 120Hz display, one of the best camera setups around and Samsung’s Exynos 2200 and you’ve got a very tempting, but also very premium, smartphone.

When Samsung revealed the new Galaxy S22 range, it was largely business as usual – for the Galaxy S22 and S22+, anyway. The Galaxy S22 Ultra, on the other hand, offers a much more radical change that brings it closer than ever to the Galaxy Note range, with a redesigned chassis and a built-in S Pen.

The question is, does the spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra offer enough to tempt users, especially at such a high price point? While it’s not the perfect smartphone, there’s a lot to love about Samsung’s top-end Galaxy S22 Ultra in 2022.

4. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

Best foldable Phone

galaxy z flip studio shots review thumb

 

Samsung’s first few attempts at foldables were fun, but felt like novelties. With the Galaxy Z Flip 3, the Korean tech giant has unequivocally got it right.

A revamped design not only looks much better, but incorporates waterproofing and is more useful thanks to the larger cover display.

Core specs are solid throughout, with a Snapdragon 888 in tow, and the 12Mp main and ultrawide cameras are solid if not exceptional – though you may miss having a telephoto lens.

The big drawback is battery, with the Flip 3 only just lasting a full day’s use. But if you can live with that, this is the first foldable that feels absolutely competitive at its price point.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has:

  • Stunning design
  • Waterproof
  • Competitive pricing
  • Customisable colours

Why buy Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3?

The 6.7in folding screen is a Full HD+ AMOLED panel – the same as before – but this year has a welcome bump up to a 120Hz refresh rate, which nets you smoother and more fluid animations.

Technical Details

  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 888
  • 8GB DDR5 RAM
  • 128/256GB UFS 3.1 storage
  • 6.7in (2640 x 1080), 120Hz AMOLED display
  • 1.9in (260 x 512) AMOLED cover display
  • Rear camera:
    • 12Mp, f/1.8 main camera
    • 12Mp, f/2.2 ultrawide
  • 10Mp, f/2.4 selfie camera
  • Gorilla Glass Victus
  • IPX8
  • Stereo speakers
  • 5G
  • 3300mAh battery
  • 15W wired charging
  • 10W wireless charging
  • 166 x 72.2 x 6.9 mm (unfolded) or 86.4 x 72.2 x 15.9-17.1mm (folded)183g

5. Oppo Find X5 Pro

Best flagship all-rounder

oppo find x pro thumb

 

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is a phenomenal phone by any measure. The 6.7in 10-bit 120Hz QHD+ panel is one of the best displays in any phone right now and Oppo backs it up with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, a 5000mAh battery, and a top-tier camera that boasts 50Mp sensors on both the main and ultrawide lenses.

You’ll have to live without a periscopic zoom lens – the telephoto here is a measly 2x zoom – but results across all three rear lenses are exceptional. The design is unique too, thanks to a seamlessly sloped camera module built right into the ceramic of the phone’s body.

For pure performance, the Find X5 Pro is also hard to beat, with all of the above plus a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 256GB storage and 12GB RAM. You just have to be willing to pay the price, as it doesn’t come cheap – though the regular Find X5 is a great option that costs much less.

Oppo Find X5 Pro has:

  • Beautiful, unique design
  • Powerful camera combo
  • Brilliant display
  • Great software

Why buy Oppo Find X5 Pro?

The Oppo Find X5 Pro is beautiful, powerful phone that delivers an excellent display, strong performance, decent battery and charging, and a powerful camera – all wrapped in a unique design.

Technical Details

  • Android 12 with ColorOS 12.1
  • 6.7in WQHD+ LTPO AMOLED display, 120Hz, HDR10+
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
  • 12GB RAM
  • 256GB internal storage
  • 50Mp, f/1.7, 5-axis OIS main camera
  • 50Mp, f/2.2 ultrawide camera
  • 13Mp, f/2.4 2x telephoto camera
  • 32Mp, f/2.4 selfie camera
  • Stereo speakers
  • Fingerprint scanner (in-display)

There are better options if you want the absolute best camera experience around, but for most people the Pixel 5A will be an excellent value.

Why buy Google Pixel 5A 5G ?

Google Pixel 5A 5G is the best value for a high-end Android smartphone. It combines the design of the Google Pixel 4A (5G) with a larger OLED display and huge battery to get you all-day power. And for the first time on a “budget” Pixel phone, it’s water resistant.

7. OnePlus 9 Pro

Flagship with a great value

oneplus pro hoyle hero

Flagship phones are usually big, meaty things. Most of the time these super-phones are downright tacky, but OnePlus is trying something different with its latest phone. The OnePlus 9 Pro looks like what some other companies call “premium.” That’s a big word for most people, and that might be putting it lightly, but OnePlus is going for a premium look with this product.

Why buy OnePlus 9 Pro ?

If you’re looking to spend big on a new handset and want the best of the best, then you should absolutely consider the OnePlus 9 Pro – but it’s not going to be cheap. It looks beautiful, for one thing, with a classy design that I think would appeal as much to shirt and tie-wearing business types as it would to plaid-wearing microbrewery owners. Mix in a powerful processor, a great screen and an immensely fast charging ability and you’ve got yourself a great all-round flagship.

What should I look for in a good Android phone?

Android phones are great for just about any situation. But what should you look for? How much RAM is enough? Gotta have an awesome camera. What about storage, battery life, and wireless connectivity?  Here’s a guide to everything you need to know to buy an android phone including whether or not you should root your new device!

  1. Battery
    Battery capacities are usually measured in milliampere hours (mAh). The higher the mAh, the longer the battery is expected to perform. Some apps may work in the background while you’re running other apps or while you’re not actively using your phone.
  2. Memory
     Your phone has two kinds of memory, RAM and ROM. The higher the number of megabytes your phone has built in, the faster it will run and the easier it will be to use.
  3. Camera
    For great photos, a camera isn’t all that matters. Aperture too plays an important role. If you are likely to take a lot of pictures, buy a phone with a 16 MP camera and aperture of f/2.0 or lower. Also look for a phone with at least an 8 MP camera if you think your use of the camera is not likely to be heavy.
  4. Processor
    Great processor performance is the key to a good phone experience. So, before you make your next smartphone purchase, check out the phones with the best processors. Our editors have handpicked these phones for their overall excellent performance and user experience, so you can choose the best device for your needs.
  5. Display
    A phone with a 5.5 – 6-inch HD or QHD display is usually an ideal option. This will allow you to enjoy a rich media experience while being easy to carry in your pocket or purse.

Where to buy a mobile phone in Singapore?

Mobile phone shops are everywhere in Singapore. Some are big chains and others are smaller independent outlets. It’s quite easy to find a mobile phone shop that is close to you. Online stores are also available like Shopee, Lazada, and Amazon Singapore.
