Don't get left in the dust! Be ready for the newest and fastest phones equipped with 5G technology. While the realization of 5G technology started slowly, it is now prevalent, with major networks rolling out this new tech. And while 5G phones promise accelerated speed and service, the cost of 5G phones doesn't reflect a big bump up in price. The hottest 5G phones ready to go include the Samsung Galaxy S20, the OnePlus 8 Pro, and the Motorola Edge Plus. Read on to find out more about the latest 5G smartphones, including features and pricing.

Samsung's flagship phone, the Galaxy, once again leads the way. Specifically, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus leads the way for 5G enabled phones. Among many reviewers, there is simply not a more powerful model on the market, including the latest Apple phones. The Galaxy S20 supports all 5G networks types. It has a screen refresh rate of 120Hz and a 64MP telephoto lens, the most powerful on any mobile phone. Many critics believe the Galaxy S20 is worth every penny, but its high cost can't be ignored. Debuting at $1,199.99, it can now be had at most retailers for around the $1,000 mark. One other weakness of the Galaxy S20 is that its power drains the battery quickly. Still, reviewers say its battery last longer than that of an I-Phone, and its Super Fast Charging gets it back up to 100 percent unbelievably fast.

The OnePlus 8 Pro has quitely become one of the best phones on the market. The 5G speeds are just the start of a lineup of great features for the OnePlus 8 Pro, including a 120Hz display, excellent quad cameras, and super fast wired and wireless charging. A knock on the phone is that is only available unlocked, so it can't be purchased through a specific carrier (which means it isn't subject to discounts that often come through a mobile plan). Furthermore, the OnePlus 8 Pro doesn't operate on all 5G network types, meaning that prospective buyers need to be sure that the carrier they want to use is compatible with the phone. If the network type is right, the OnePlus 8 pro is incredible. And the price tag is significantly better than that of the Galaxy S20, at $850. If the OnePlus 8 Pro is excessibely powerful for a potential buyer's needs, the OnePlus 8 could be the right move, as it costs $699 and is not unlocked -- it is sold through both Verizon and T-Mobile.

Reviewers are heralding the Motorola Edge Plus as the best phone made by Motorola in a long time. Exclusively sold through Verizon, the phone might be the perfect alternative to the Samsung flagship for Verizon customers. One fault of previous Motorola smart phones has been the camera, but the company invested heavily in this aspect for the Edge Plus. The phone has an impressive quad-lens camera comparable to that of the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, which comes in at $1,400. The Edge Plus, on the other hand, costs just under $1,000. One break from the norm by Motorola is the headphone jack included with the Edge Plus. Whereas Samsung and Apple hve gone away from the headphone jack, Motorola brought theirs back due to customer feedback. The phone debuted in May 2020, and is expected to be followed by the release of a cheaper, less robust Edge.
