Best AT&T cell phones available right now:
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
iPhone 13 Pro Max
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is, for all intents and purposes, the ultimate iPhone to date. With the largest battery on an iPhone to date and paired up with the large 6.7-inch display, the behemoth iPhone is powered by the super-fast Apple A15 Bionic chipset and is available in 128, 256, 512GB and, for the first time ever on an iPhone, a staggering 1TB version to keep store of all your photos and videos. The cameras are also greatly improved, with faster apertures and improved HDR, as well as brand-new features like Photographic Styles, macro shots, and Night mode portraits.
Google Pixel 6 Pro
With excellent performance, good battery life, superb P-OLED display, and a great camera package, the Pixel 6 Pro brings back the “wow” factor that was somewhat lost in the most recent Pixel phones. The Pixel 6 Pro is certainly a device that isn’t late to the game, but instead up there with the competition, while simultaneously keeping the pricing surprisingly adequate and attaining an insane bang for the buck. Starting at $899, the Google Pixel 6 Pro is the best premium Android smartphone money can buy in late 2021, and certainly the best phone Google has made so far, more than a viable alternative to the iPhones and Galaxies out there.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
This phone truly has it all: a 4-camera system with a long-range periscope zoom lens, a built-in S Pen that doesn’t come at the expense of battery size, the latest and most powerful Android processor, the newest generation Samsung AMOLED display… basically, everything it takes for a blockbuster flagship. Oh, and then add a few bonus features on top like a record-breaking screen brightness, more granular refresh rate and a few fancy colors. Of course, all of that comes at a premium $1,200 price, but not much higher than last year’s model, despite the many new features.
Samsung Galaxy S22
Don’t feel the need to flex with the most expensive iPhone available? The iPhone 13 will give you 95% of the 13 Pro experience for a much lower price. You still get the ultra-wide-angle camera alongside the much-needed camera improvements and the A15 Bionic chip that will ensure your phone will run smooth for years to come. What you sacrifice is mostly the telephoto camera and some storage, even the displays are identical this year. If you’re interested to learn more, check our iPhone 13 review.
iPhone SE (2022)
The freshest iPhone SE, released earlier in 2022, is the most affordable iPhone you could get on AT&T. With the A15 Bionic chipset, it has plenty of power, but its aged design, small display for the size, and just-“okay” camera make it rather hard sell.
Normally, the phone will cost you $11.95 a month for the base 64GB version, while the 256GB version will set you back $16.12 a month. Outright, the price of admission in the iPhone SE (2022) club on AT&T is $429.99. A trade-in could drive the costs down, though.
Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
The fresh new Galaxy S21 FE is available on AT&T starting January 11, 2022. The 128GB will be selling up for $699.99 and the 256 GB one will cost $769. 99. And for a limited time only, you can get the device at $15/mo. for the 128GB or $20/mo. for the 256GB on a qualifying installment plan with no trade-in required.
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.
The phone can be yours for $12.50/month on AT&T for 36 months, or for $449.99 outright. You could shed more off the price by trading-in another device, or even bring the monthly payments to $5 if you have an eligible unlimited service.
