If you’re looking for one of the best unlocked phones and money is no object, treat yourself to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, which offers a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED display, Snapdragon 888 Plus processor and optional versatile S Pen stylus, all for $1,199.

It’s big, it’s beautiful, and it’s very powerful. Despite its size, it’s also a well-rounded phone with excellent photography performance, too. It’s a battery life champ despite having a high-res, high refresh rate display. It also can use the newly redesign S Pen stylus.

And that S Pen helps you get more from apps like Samsung Notes, which now syncs across a multitude of devices and allows for appending audio recordings to written or typed notes. The S21 Ultra’s wireless DeX Mode and Windows Your Phone projection also helps you get more out of it on bigger displays.

Overall, it’s one of the finest handsets you can buy unlocked and take to any network.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 is one of the best unlocked phones you can buy in 2021. Not only does it look really good, but it also offers an excellent camera experience with its triple lens setup. That means you get better portraits and the extremely impressive Space Zoom feature, which can give you 30x zoom photos. But that’s not all that the Galaxy S21 has to offer.

You also get the newest processor from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 888, which means improved speed and more power efficiency. The 1080p display can now clock up to 120Hz, making for a buttery smooth user experience. That refresh rate is also variable, meaning that the phone can adjust it to save battery life as the need arises. If you don’t care about having a higher frame rate, you can lock the display at 60Hz and leave it there.

Of course, to hit the $799 price tag — which is $200 less than last year’s S20 — Samsung cut some corners. The body is high-quality plastic instead of glass, which ultimately feels less premium. There is no charger included in the box and the microSD card slot is noticeably absent. While some may question these decisions, rest assured that you’re still getting a top-tier phone with the Galaxy S21.

When it comes down to it, sometimes you just want a phone that will handle the basics and last all day, if not longer. That’s where the Moto G Power (2021) comes in with its mammoth 5,000 mAh battery and power-efficient specs. This phone looks quite nice and runs laps around some of the top-tier devices in terms of battery life, going for more than 14 hours in our testing. That’s just about 4 hours longer than the average.

Last year’s Moto G Power was already set at an attractive price, but Motorola one-upped itself for 2021. If you’re okay with skimping a bit on RAM and storage, you can get yourself one of these phones for a mere $199. If you want to bump up to 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, you need only fork over $50 more. Talk about an incredible price for an unlocked phone.

The iPhone SE and iPhone 12 may be some of the best unlocked phones you can get, but they’re not the only unlocked phones available from Apple. If you’re looking for something a little larger, now at $100 cheaper than ever before, the iPhone 11 is the way to go.

The iPhone 11 Pro Max has a bigger screen, and the iPhone 11 Pro models have more cameras. But the lower price tag on the iPhone 11 — it starts at $599, which is $100 less now that the iPhone 12 range has been announced — is too attractive to ignore. Besides, you’re not giving up that much for those savings. You still get two rear cameras that offer the same features found in the iPhone 11 Pro series, like better photos in low light.

The powerful A13 Bionic processor is the same, too, and the iPhone 11 actually outlasts the iPhone 11 Pro in our battery test. The modem in the iPhone 11 isn’t as fast, and while it supports fast charging, you’ll have to buy your own charger, but these are small sacrifices to make for an otherwise top-notch phone. You can order an unlocked version of the iPhone 11 from Apple.

If the Galaxy S20 is a little too rich for your blood at $999, why not save $300 by opting for the Galaxy S20 FE? It’s got many of the same key features — a Snapdragon 865 processor with 5G compatibility and a display with a 120Hz refresh rate — but without the high price. The trade-offs you make are more than acceptable for many users: you’ll get a phone made out of a plastic case instead of glass and metal, and the telephoto lens on the FE doesn’t pack as many megapixels. Otherwise, it’s the same experience.

You can buy the Galaxy S20 FE unlocked from Samsung as well as other retailers, but do know that if you plan on using it with Verizon, you’ll need to the the version specifically designed for Verizon’s mmWave-based 5G network. Otherwise, this unlocked phone will work just fine with either AT&T or T-Mobile 5G.

Of course, for $100 more, you get the newer Galaxy S21. That’s worth keeping in mind.

TCL has been making smartphones for years under the Alcatel and BlackBerry brands, but the TCL 10 series marks its first global handset release under its own marque. The most powerful model, the $449 TCL 10 Pro, is our favorite of the trio, because it combines a high-quality glass-and-metal design with solid performance and amenities like 128GB of built-in storage, as well as a headphone jack.

The TCL 10 Pro’s biggest concession concerns its quad-lens camera system. It comprises wide-angle, ultrawide and macro optics, but doesn’t take photos appreciably better than those you get from the likes of the iPhone SE or Pixel 4a in most cases. Still, if you can see past that, this is a compelling option in the realm of mid-range unlocked handsets — not to mention a strong debut for TCL as a phone maker in its own right.

How to choose the best unlocked phone for you

• Find a phone that works on your carrier: The vast majority of unlocked devices operate on GSM networks in the U.S. These include AT&T and T-Mobile, as well as discount carriers that run on those networks, such as Cricket Wireless, Metro by T-Mobile and Straight Talk. Some so-called multimode unlocked phones also work with CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon, such as all of Apple’s iPhones, and the Google Pixel 4a.
• Make sure the coverage map fits your needs: In terms of coverage area, there’s less discrepancy between networks than ever before, but there are still gaps, especially in less-populated areas.”Make sure [the phone you’re buying] works on a carrier that offers good coverage in your area,”advised Avi Greengart, research director for consumer platforms and devices at market research firm Current Analysis.
• Shop around, and don’t be afraid to go used: Because some unlocked phone makers skip the carriers to sell their devices, they can often pass those savings onto you. However, don’t be afraid to entertain buying one of the best used smartphones, as you can often find very tempting offers on previous-generation flagships from sites like Swappa, Decluttr and even Amazon for refurbished examples.

How we test unlocked phones

Every smartphone Tom’s Guide evaluates is tested for days in real-wo rld use cases and benchmarked with a gamut of performance-measuring apps. We use a light meter to ascertain display quality data, like brightness and color accuracy, and our proprietary battery test determines longevity on a charge by streaming webpages over a 4G or 5G network.

We explore the software, test gaming performance and conduct live camera comparisons with rival handsets. We also factor in network compatibility, so you can be certain whether a device will be operational on your carrier before you buy. Each of these factors plays a part in our comprehensive verdict.
