1) Apple iPhone 13 Mini

Key Feature	Advanced dual-camera system
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13
Price	$1,199

Apple has a model of iPhone 13 Mini for you if you just can’t handle the size of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro, or iPhone 13. An iPhone 13 Plus is essentially just a shrunken-down iPhone, yet it comes with its own set of perks and drawbacks. The A15 Bionic is Apple’s top phone, and it has the same outstanding power as the A15 Bionic, but on a smaller screen with a smaller battery as a result.

Key Differentiators:

• Advanced dual-camera system
• A15 Bionic chip
• Up to 19 hours video playback

2) Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G

Key Feature	Max. zoom up to 100x camera
Where to Buy	https://www.samsung.com/au/smartphones/galaxy-s21-5g/buy/
Price	$1,549.00

The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is comparable to a Note phone in that it features the company’s S-Pen stylus for work and creativity, albeit you’ll have to spend extra for it, as it isn’t included. We’re also anticipating more development in the Note sector with the S22 Ultra mobile, so if that’s something you care about, hold out a little longer. Samsung has put a lot of effort into its camera technology, and while the 100x Space Zoom isn’t particularly remarkable, almost everything else it does for both stills and video recording is.

Key Differentiators:

• Max. zoom up to 100x camera
• 2.9GHz max. CPU speed Octa-core processor
• 512GB/256GB/128GB storage

3) Apple iPhone SE 2020

Key Feature	Touch ID
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-se
Price	$719

The iPhone 13’s release, and particularly the miniature iPhone 13 Mini, has a lot of attention on Apple’s popular smartphones’ affordability. Apple has faster processors in pricier phones it’s true, but the A13 Bionic can fly through just about any app need you have got while giving you easy access to the app store and the wider Apple ecosystem. You even get TouchID if you’re not a fan of Apple’s FaceID biometrics.

Key Differentiators:

• Touch ID
• Up to 15 hours video playback⁴
• Single-camera system

4) Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max

Key Feature	120Hz capable “ProMotion” display
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13-pro
Price	$1,849

The iPhone 13 Pro Max sports an Apple-certified 120Hz “ProMotion” display. There’s also a good case to be made that in order to get the most out of high refresh rates, you’ll need a big screen to view them on. There simply isn’t a greater or better iPhone display at 6.7 inches. The iPhone 13 Pro Max also has a significant boost in camera capabilities, with some of the best low-light and macro shooting performance we’ve seen from any phone thus far.

Key Differentiators:

• 120Hz capable “ProMotion” display
• 6.7 inches display
• Great battery life

5) Google Pixel 6

Key Feature	Up to 120 Hz Smooth Display
Where to Buy	https://store.google.com/au/product/pixel_6?pli=1&hl=en-GB
Price	$999

The Pixel 6 is identical to the Pixel 6 Pro in terms of design. It shrinks it down to a more hand-friendly 6.4-inch frame, which is roughly the same size as last year’s model. As a Google phone, Pixel 6 has all of the benefits of a clean Android experience, 3 years of OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches that you’d get with any other Google device. That’s something no other Android manufacturer can offer.

Key Differentiators:

• Security made simple
• You’re in control of your privacy
• Up to 120 Hz Smooth Display 

6) Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3

Key Feature	512GB / 256GB storage
Where to Buy	https://www.samsung.com/au/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold3-5g/buy/
Price	$2,049.00

With the Galaxy Z Fold 3, it appears to be improving significantly, with a combined smartphone and tablet that is genuinely useful and excellent from its front display through to its interior tablet.The inclusion of S-Pen support opens up a world of possibilities for what you can do with that built-in screen, but it’s annoying that an S-Pen isn’t included, and previous S-Pens may not work on its display.

Key Differentiators:

• S Pen compatibility
• 512GB / 256GB storage
• 10MP Front Cover (HID), 4MP Under Display Camera (UDC)

7) Google Pixel 6 Pro

Key Feature	Highest rated for security
Where to Buy	https://store.google.com/au/product/pixel_6_pro?hl=en-GB
Price	$1,299

Google’s Pixel phones have typically been excellent, but they’ve rarely been unrivaled. The Google Pixel 6 Pro is the larger of Google’s flagship phones for 2021. Its spectacular 6.7-inch 120Hz display is just as stunning, and with variable refresh rates down to 10Hz, it’s also quite energy-efficient. The Pixel 2 XL outperforms it in CPU terms, although it is the best GPU performer we’ve seen in a flagship Android phone this year.

Key Differentiators:

• Wireless charging with twice the power
• Highest rated for security
• Made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™

8) Oppo Find X3 Neo

Key Feature	Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 865
Where to Buy	https://shop.oppoaustralia.com.au/products/oppo-find-x3-neo
Price	$999.00

The Oppo Find X3 Neo 5G is the Chinese phone maker’s most affordable model, and it isn’t its current top-of-the-line smartphone, which is the far more costly Oppo Find X3 Pro with its unusual microscope camera. The Oppo Find X3 Neo’s Snapdragon 865 CPU isn’t the most powerful on the market, but it is more than capable of handling most Android applications. Oppo’s ColorOS user interface is a bit of a contentious issue; some may enjoy the basic and extremely bright design, while others may be concerned about the large number of permissions it requires for simple programs.

Key Differentiators:

• Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 865
• Sony IMX 766 camera
• Vibrantly Rendered Video

9) Apple iPhone 13 Pro

Key Feature	All-screen OLED display
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13-pro
Price	$1,699

Apple has typically hidden the greatest functions of its phones from its full-size Pro Max models, but that isn’t the case in 2021. On the other hand, instead of adopting a lot of its features from the bigger Pro Max, Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro has essentially the same CPU and cameras as the smaller Pro Max.

Key Differentiators:

• All-screen OLED display
• Pro camera system
• Up to 28 hours video playback

10) Apple iPhone 13

Key Feature	Advanced dual-camera system
Where to Buy	https://www.apple.com/au/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-13
Price	$1,349

The iPhone 13 is a fantastic choice for those who want the best of the best, but who can’t quite afford anything better. You get Apple’s fantastic A15 Bionic processor, and while it lacks the GPU cores of the Pro versions, it’s still the equivalent of strapping a rocket engine to your phone because this thing is seriously powerful. Despite being the same size as the iPhone 13 Pro, it has a larger internal battery and typically provides better battery life in actual usage.

Key Differentiators:

• Advanced dual-camera system
• 6.1″ or 5.4″ All-screen OLED display
• Up to 19 hours video playback
