As of August 2, 2020, the Sprint brand is no more. It's been laid to rest as part of the , signaling the end of an era. If you're a current Sprint customer and looking to upgrade your phone, you'll need to do it through T-Mobile. Lucky for you, there are a ton of great options to choose from no matter what your budget is. Here are some of the best Sprint phones to consider under T-Mobile.
Staff Pick
Without a doubt, Samsung's Galaxy S20 is the best phone you can buy on Sprint/T-Mobile right now. Samsung's Galaxy S series impresses every year, and this update for 2020 is especially exciting. The S20 delivers Samsung's first 120Hz AMOLED display, triple rear cameras, and a large 4,000 mAh battery. The 6.2-inch screen size keeps the phone easy to manage in one hand, not to mention the gorgeous Cloud Pink color you can get. And, yes, it supports T-Mobile's 5G network.
While the Galaxy S20 is the best phone for most people, it isn't the most technically-impressive phone in Samsung's lineup. Instead, that title belongs to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The Note 20 Ultra is extremely expensive and overwhelmingly large, but it's also a force to be reckoned with. It has a 120Hz AMOLED display, excellent cameras, frosted glass back, and the almighty S Pen, which adds a ton of extra functionality.
Speaking of the Note and Galaxy S handsets, we have to mention the Galaxy S20 FE. This is a phone that pretty much came out of nowhere, but we sure are happy that it's here. The S20 FE gives you the same core experience found on the regular S20 but for considerably less money. You get the same 120Hz AMOLED display, Snapdragon 865 processor, and great battery life. If you want a good deal, check this one out.
The S20 and Note 20 Ultra are great phones, but they also cost quite a lot of money. If you'd like to get the flagship experience without breaking the bank, the OnePlus 8T is a great choice. Despite its lower price, you still get a ton of features you'll love — including a 90Hz AMOLED display, the ultra-fast Snapdragon 865 processor, really good cameras, and a large 4,500 mAh battery.
For anyone that's buying a phone through T-Mobile, the Pixel 4a 5G is a fantastic option you should have on your radar. It's the middle child of all the Pixels released in 2020, and for a lot of people, it's the easiest one to recommend. You get a 6.2-inch OLED display, fast performance with the Snapdragon 765G processor, and truly excellent cameras. There's also support for 5G, which adds a nice touch of future-proofing at a very reasonable price.
On the subject of affordable phones, another one we'd like to highlight is the Moto E. This is one of the cheapest phones Sprint/T-Mobile sells, and given the ultra-low price, it delivers a good user experience. It has great build quality, a headphone jack, good battery life, and a fingerprint sensor for securing all of your sensitive apps. It doesn't have the best processor or display, but if you need to spend as little as possible, it's worth a look.
Samsung makes some of the best Androids on the market, but oftentimes, the Samsung phones that get talked about the most are the priciest ones. Samsung has a few cheaper options in its lineup, one of which is the Galaxy A71. The A71 offers a high-end experience, though at a much lower price than something like the S20. It has a gorgeous AMOLED display, a huge battery, four rear cameras, and more.
Foldable phones are a reality, and if you're a Sprint/T-Mobile customer, you can buy one of the best that's currently available — the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. The Z Flip looks like a regular phone when it's open, but it can be closed at any time and become half the size for easy portability. It's also paired with the futuristic design are top-end specs, including an AMOLED screen, dual rear cameras, and a Snapdragon 865+ processor.
While we're on the subject of folding phones, another one you should consider is the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. Instead of the flip-phone design found on the Z Flip, the Z Fold is effectively a smartphone and tablet in one single device. You get that radical design combined with top-tier specs across the board, making the Galaxy Z Fold 2 a thoroughly enjoyable gadget in virtually every way.
It's sad to see that Sprint is no more, but thankfully, T-Mobile's collection of Android phones is every bit as impressive as Sprint's ever was. Out of everything the carrier has to offer, we think the is the phone most people should get. Every aspect of the S20 is darn-near perfect, giving you money can buy. It is expensive, but we think the S20 is well, well worth it.
For people that want a flagship phone but can't justify the cost of the Galaxy S20, the is a fantastic alternative. It's built well, is as fast as can be, has great cameras, and comes in at a considerably lower price.
Speaking of price, the brings up the rear as the phone to get if money is especially tight. You have to put up with a fair share of compromises when buying a device this cheap, but for running your apps, making calls, and sending texts, the Moto E does it all while keeping most of your money in your pocket.
