Looking for a good phone with 5G? Nowadays, almost all decent phones come with 5G. It's not just the expensive ones; even midrange and budget phones have it. This is great because it means you have more options at different prices, so you don't have to spend too much.

Many phones have 5G because it's easier now to get 5G coverage from major carriers like T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon. T-Mobile has the biggest network, covering over 330 million people with its fast 5G service. AT&T and Verizon are also expanding their coverage and speeding up their 5G.

So, it's a good idea to get a phone that can connect to 5G. The best 5G phones not only download things faster but also have great cameras, big screens, and long-lasting batteries. Here are some of the 5 best 5G Phones in UAE you can get right now, no matter your budget.

1. iPhone 15 Pro Max

Specifications

• Screen size: 6.7 inches
• Processor: A17 Pro
• Size / weight: 6.3 x 3.0 x 0.32 inches / 7.8 ounces
• Battery life (Hrs : Mins): 14:02
• 5G networks supported: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon

For the best 5G phone, look no further than Apple's iPhone 15 Pro Max. This big phone, with a 6.7-inch screen, has the fastest chip we've ever tested, called the A17 Bionic. It can handle any app or task easily and its battery lasts over 14 hours in our tests.

What really makes this iPhone stand out is its improved telephoto camera. Apple upgraded it to support a longer 5x zoom, compared to the previous 3x zoom. This means even better photos, especially at night and in portrait mode.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max now costs more than before, but you get more storage in the base model. Plus, there are new features like a shortcut-triggering Action button, so you're getting your money's worth with this phone.

2. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

Specifications

• Screen size: 6.8 inches
• Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy
• Size / weight: 6.4 x 3.0 x 0.35 inches / 8.2 ounces
• Battery life (Hrs : Mins): 12:22
• 5G networks supported: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon

Normally, the Galaxy S23 Ultra would be the top pick on the list. But it's tough to suggest it to everyone now that the Galaxy S24 Ultra is out there, and you can already preorder the Galaxy S24. The S24 Ultra has new features, but it also costs more.

Still, the Galaxy S23 Ultra has its charms, especially because of its Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, made just for Samsung's S23 phones. While iPhones usually have the best chips, this Snapdragon chip is pretty close. It's also very efficient, so the S23 Ultra's battery lasts around 12.5 hours.

The camera on the S23 Ultra is great too, with a 200MP main sensor for more detailed photos. The front camera focuses quickly, and Samsung added AI to improve low-light photos. When we compared it to other top camera phones, the S23 Ultra held its own.

3. Google Pixel 8 Pro

Specifications

• Screen size: 6.7 inches
• Processor: Tensor G3
• Size / weight: 6.4 x 3.0 x 0.3 inches / 7.5 ounces
• Battery life (Hrs : Mins): 10:03
• 5G networks supported: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon

The Google Pixel 8 Pro is a showcase of what AI can do on a phone. Its new Tensor G3 chip uses advanced AI to make tasks easier. For example, the Google Assistant can now screen calls and tell you why someone's calling, helping you decide if it's important. It also helps with on-device translation and summarizing web pages.

But the real magic happens when you're editing photos. The Pixel 8 Pro's Magic Editor makes it easy to adjust photos, and the Best Take feature ensures everyone in a group photo looks their best. Plus, the Magic Audio Editor removes unwanted noise from videos.

The camera is also impressive, with a better ultrawide camera and improved low-light photos. Google's reputation for making great camera phones continues with the Pixel 8 Pro.

4. OnePlus 11

Specifications

• Screen size: 6.7 inches
• Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
• Size / weight: 6.4 x 3 x 0.3 inches inches / 7.2 ounces
• Battery life (Hrs:Mins): 13:10
• 5G networks supported: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon

The OnePlus 11 is a great comeback for the phone company, offering a strong chip, long battery life, and better cameras. But what really stands out is the price. In the UAE, it is available within the price bracket of AED 3,199:00 to AED 3,893:00.

Like the Galaxy S23, the OnePlus 11 uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which gives it great performance and over 13 hours of battery life. The days of 5G phones draining batteries too fast seem to be over, and the OnePlus 11 is the best example of this for Android phones.

It would be nice if the OnePlus 11 had wireless charging, and while its cameras are good, the telephoto lens could offer more zoom. But these are small issues compared to the great value you get.

Another thing to note is that the OnePlus 11 will be replaced soon, just like the S23 lineup. 

5. Google Pixel 7a

Specifications

• Screen size: 6.1-inch OLED (2400 x 1080)
• Processor: Tensor G2
• Size / weight: 6 x 2.8 x 0.4 inches / 6.8 ounces
• Battery life (Hrs : Mins): 10:05
• 5G networks supported: T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon

You don't need to spend a lot on a Pixel flagship if you're impressed by what the Tensor G2 chip can do. The Pixel 7a uses the same chip and has the same features, but it's much cheaper.

You're not missing out on much with the lower-priced Pixel 7a. Like the Pixel 7, it has a screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and supports wireless charging. The cameras are better too, especially the 64MP main one. Plus, the Pixel 7a has good battery life, especially when the screen refresh rate is set to 60Hz. It's a great budget option if you want a 5G phone.
