Best 5G Mobile Phone Deals

5G is the new kid on the block and with it comes Superfast internet and the promise to be able to do so much more with your mobile device. The speed of the 5G network outperforms even that of what is available with home broadband connections and as such this makes it a significant step forward to mobile technology. Whilst 5G speeds are not yet available everywhere in the UK, the upgrade to the network is currently underway and is expected to cover a significant proportion of the UK by the end of the year. 

Most of the major Network operators are rolling out 5G with EE and Vodafone leading the charge. Because 5G is a new network technology you need a mobile handset that can handle the 5G speeds. This means that most users will require a handset upgrade in order to be able to take advantage of this network. The major manufacturers are all bringing out their latest and greatest mobile phones that are 5G capable and we look at some of the best in the business.

The Oppo Reno 5G is the new flagship phone from the Chinese Manufacturers Oppo. This features a stunning design with an amazing 6.6-inch edge to edge OLED screen. That runs at a Full HD+ resolution of 2340x1080. The front display is unsullied by any notch or cut out as the phone is one of the latest to use the amazing pop-up selfie camera technology. 

That makes the front camera appear at the top only when it is in use. Under the hood, there is a top-quality SnapDragon 855 chipset that brings amazing power to the device. This sits with 8MP of RAM and 256Gb of internal storage leaving you with plenty of power and grunt to make the most of the amazing 5G connection. Oppo has been working on 5G alongside Qualcomm for some time so you know that they are going to do 5G right and this will be one of the cheaper 5G handsets on the market. But its quality just shines through. 

Huawei is instrumental in creating the 5G infrastructure in the UK and this means that they certainly know how to create 5G devices. The Mate 20 X 5G is their latest handset to be released and it is completely 5G compatible. The first thing to state is that unlike some of the other recent Huawei phones this one comes with a full suite of Google apps which is a bonus for many people. The phone does feature slightly older components such as the Kirin 980 but is no slouch because of this. Alongside the chipset is 8Gb of RAM and 256Gb of storage.  

As you would expect from Huawei the cameras on this are all top quality and you get a triple-lens set up with a 40MP, 8MP and 20MP sensors that produce pictures of stunning quality. The pop-up selfie camera is a 24MP affair and will give you fantastic quality for your Instagram posts. The screen size on this device is something else at 7.2-inches. This is one of the biggest screens on the market and makes it a pleasure to use whether for web browsing or media watching. All this is backed up by a huge 4,200mAh battery which will give you great all-day battery life. 

OnePlus are another Chinese manufacturer very similar to Oppo (in fact Oppo owns part of OnePlus) and they are well known for producing some amazing high-quality but affordable handsets. The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is a great example of this and takes quality and affordability to the next level. 

The OnePlus 7 Pro 5G is identical to their flagship OnePlus 7 Pro with the only obvious difference the 5G modem to access the new network. This means that you get the same amazing 6.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate for crystal clear images and content on the screen. 

The screen is a complete full screen with no cut out as OnePlus have gone for the pop-up selfie camera as well on this. The rear cameras are fantastic with a triple-lens arrangement that gives you amazing quality pictures no matter the subject or which lens you are using. This is a phone that will impress anyone looking to upgrade to 5G. 

Samsung is coming out of the gate with three 5G versions of some of their best phones. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G and Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G aren’t just 5G enabled versions of their existing phones, these are significant upgrades over their 4G siblings. The phones have been redesigned from the ground up to feature better components and performance all round. This includes upping the battery life so that when you are making the most of the superfast 5G all the time you are not draining your phone quicker. They also both feature even bigger screens than their 4G versions well, so you get some amazing look images, particularly if you are streaming video content on your superfast connection. 

If you are looking for a more budget-conscious Samsung, then the Samsung A90 5G will see you get into the Samsung 5G range at a more affordable price. You still get an amazing 6.7-inch display and an incredible triple-lens camera including the superb 48MP monster along with the same Samsung level of quality and build, just with some of the bells and whistles missing. 

If you are looking to pick a budget-conscious 5G entry without having to give up too much in the way of quality, then the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G is perfect for you. Built to the same standard that Xiaomi offers for all its products this is a phone that doesn’t compromise on quality for the sake of price. You get a near top of the range device at a fraction of the cost. The 6.39inch magnetic sliding display moves with a satisfying feeling to reveal the hidden selfie camera. This means that the display is not compromised and just looks amazing. This is coupled with some serious hardware under the bonnet such as up to 10Gb of RAM and a SnapDragon 855 processor so that you get some serious grunt.
