Smartphones come in many shapes, sizes and prices. That doesn’t make buying a new phone much easier. That’s why we test ourselves at WANT completely rotten and we try to help you.

5 best smartphones of 2021

September is also known as Techtember in the industry. That has to do with the fact that a lot is announced in this month. We’re almost halfway there, so I thought it would be a good idea to take a look back at what the market has to offer so far.

If you a new If you want to buy a smartphone in 2021, as far as I’m concerned, there are five options from which you can choose the best (so far). The list is not in order, but simply shows the five coolest smartphones. There is something for everyone and you may soon be walking around with your perfect smartphone.

#1 Samsung Galaxy S21 (Ultra): three wonderful smartphones

With the Galaxy S21 series, Samsung has launched three smartphones that I can actually recommend all three to you. If you are looking for a good Android smartphone, you will be fine with one of the three devices. In that regard, it is therefore good to do research into what the Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra have to offer you.

All in all, the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra is the absolute top device on the market at the moment, but you also have to do quite a bit for that. If money doesn’t matter to you, that is without a doubt a must, although I understand all too well that not everyone feels that way. That is why it is certainly smart to take a look at what the Samsung Galaxy S21 has to offer you exactly and to what extent you can handle it.

# 2 OPPO Reno6

The OPPO Reno6 was announced last week and is without a doubt a genius smartphone. The device was unveiled at the same time as the Reno6 Pro, but immediately wipes its more expensive brother off the map. The smartphone looks incredibly stylish, feels great in the hand and has a lot to offer the consumer for € 499.

A fast processor, impressive battery and an impressive display: they all belong to the new OPPO Reno6. As far as I’m concerned, it’s highly recommended that you’ll be hearing a lot more about in the near future.

#3 Apple iPhone 12

When it comes to smartphones that you should buy, last year’s iPhone 12 should definitely be in there. Especially due to the fact that the new device will arrive next week. Because no matter how big the upgrade will be, it won’t get as impressive as the iPhone 12 anytime soon.

The “standard” models of the iPhones have been in the shadow of the Pro devices for years, but that came to an end last year. For at least €912 you get a smartphone with an impressive display, a powerful camera system and an incredibly good processor. The device will last for years to come and is without a doubt highly recommended.

# 4 OnePlus Nord 2

With the OnePlus Nord 2, OnePlus released a very pleasant successor to the Nord this year. I even called the device “proof that flagships are less and less needed”. As with the previous model, OnePlus makes the right choices to ensure that the smartphone does not become so expensive. But it is very powerful and pleasant to use.

OnePlus Nord 2: the proof that flagships are needed less and less

The best part is that the device is a significant improvement on the OnePlus Nord from 2020, but has not become more expensive. For €399 you get a really good deal that you can enjoy for years to come.

#5 Samsung Galaxy Z Fip 3

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 may feel like an odd duck, but it is highly recommended. This is the first foldable smartphone that is really worth it. Especially, because you can already get it for the price of a regular flagship.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3: they’ve finally done it!

For €1049 you do not make any major concessions except for the camera system, but you do get a full-fledged flagship with one genius functionality: the smartphone folds. The future is coming and this is the first big step to make that future really accessible. It’s nice to actually have that product at home.
