Best Metro by T-Mobile phones, a summarized list:
Best overall value iPhone at Metro by T-Mobile
Apple iPhone 13
The iPhone 13 carries on with the winning formula that made the iPhone 12 so successful, but improves key aspects that certainly make a difference. It has the same flat design that many have grown to love, boasts a brighter OLED display, has a faster chipset, a better ultra-wide camera, and most importantly, noticeably better battery life. It’s more than a worthy upgrade over its predecessor, and arguably, one of the best value-for-money devices you can get right now.
Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max
Тhe iPhone 13 Pro Max is certainly the most advanced iPhone you can get this year. With even better cameras, 120Hz smooth OLED display, much faster A15 Bionic chip, and significantly improved battery life in comparison with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the largest entrant in Apple’s 2021 lineup is definitely in a category of its own. Not only the best iPhone you can get today, but also one of the best phones, period.
Best value Android phone at Metro by T-Mobile
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
Galaxy S21 FE
The Galaxy S21 FE is a peculiar case as it mostly overlaps with the Galaxy S21 and S22 series in terms of features and is priced pretty near between the two, so it’s a bit harder to recommend this one than its predecessor at its time. However, all things aside, the Galaxy S21 FE is a neat option for those who don’t necessarily need the latest flagship phone, but would very much appreciate the value that the Galaxy S21 FE holds.

Apple iPhone SE (2020)
Best budget 5G phone at Metro by T-Mobile
Samsung Galaxy A53 5G
The Galaxy A53 is Samsung’s latest attempt at solidifying its mid-range presence around the globe. Admittedly, the A53 5G isn’t a perfect device, suffering from the lack of a headphone jack, unflattering haptics, and a slow fingerprint scanner. Still, it’s an excellent offering with good battery life, solid camera performance, and an exotic microSD card slot, even.
Best budget phone at Metro by T-Mobile
Motorola Moto G Stylus (2022)
If you want a relatively new phone with a stylus in 2022, you have a few options before you: the exceptional Galaxy S22 Ultra, the slightly aged Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, or the foldable Z Fold 3 (which requires you to buy the S Pen separately), but if you’re really on a tight budget, then you have another option ahead of you: a phone with a large, 6.8-inch 120Hz display, battery that just lasts, a triple camera setup, and a rather comfortable stylus… Sounds fairly good, but is it actually so?
You can get this one for just $9.99 if you open a new line with Metro and opt to keep your number, otherwise the phone will set you $320 back.
