Best unlocked phones on Amazon for every budget 2022

Staff Pick

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is one of the most versatile and powerful phones on the market. You get top-end specs across the board, plus all of the hardware features you expect: an incredible 120Hz display, waterproofing, bilateral wireless charging, and of course, the S Pen. The 108MP primary camera is incredible, and 10MP sensors offer both 3x and 10x native zooms.

Google's finest

The Google Pixel 7 Pro brings true refinement to Google's Pixel lineup. This flagship has stunning cameras, a bold design, a fluid software experience, and some powerful specs under the hood. On top everything, it costs significantly cheaper than most other Android flagships.

Value flagship

The Galaxy S22+ offers incredible value, bringing the core Samsung flagship experience to a more affordable price. You even get the same top-tier processor and cameras you'd expect. The only sacrifice here is the lack of a gigantic battery like the S22 Ultra.

Best under $800

The Pixel 7's shining feature is its stellar camera setup. As a result, it produces stunning photos in all lighting conditions, blowing away phones twice its price. The rest isn't too shabby either: excellent software, a solid hardware build, and guaranteed updates from Google. Perhaps best of all, it runs Android 13 right out of the box.

Best under $300

Nokia has defined the sub-$300 segment with the Nord series, and the Nord N20 5G continues the trend. Again, you get a solid build with a big screen and specs that will get the job done, and more importantly, the phone comes with a 4,500mAh battery coupled with 33W SUPERVOOC fast charging.

Best under $200

The Nokia G20 has a fantastic Nordic design with subtle but eye-catching finishes, a quad-camera system, a bright and large 6.5-inch display, and it runs a clean build of Android 11 with the promise of timely, continued updates for three more years. You even get a huge 5,050 mAh battery that lasts for days. For much less money, that's a lot of phone and an incredible value.

Best under $600

Some say that the glory days of OnePlus are behind us, but the OnePlus 10T begs to differ. This elegant phone comes with a stunning 120Hz Fluid AMOLED display and a sleek metal body. The OS is much better now and the battery life is insanely good. You'll be very pleased with the consistently great performance.

Bringing back flip phones

Samsung made foldables mainstream with its Galaxy Z Flip series. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is by far the best modern flip phone we have seen, with robust internals and water-resistance to boot.

Ultimate gaming

The RedMagic 7S Pro is an absolute unit with actual RGB fans inside as part of its nine-layered cooling system. This phone sports ultrasonic shoulder triggers, a gigantic 5,000mAh battery, and 65W fast charging paired with a gorgeous AMOLED panel. To deliver the ultimate mobile gaming experience, the insides include the SD 8+ Gen 1 chip and 18GB of RAM.
