T-Mobile is the carrier everyone else is watching out for. They're currently the third biggest mobile service provider in the United States, and they're growing very quickly. Thanks to T-Mobile's "Un-carrier" plan of action, they've been changing industry standards for the better over the recent years. On top of all of the changes they're making, they have one of the widest varieties of smartphones available on any carrier. We've already taken a look at the best phones you can buy on Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, and now it's T-Mobile's turn.

Since T-Mobile has done away with two-year contracts, you'll notice the phones listed here are at full retail price. In some cases it's cheaper to buy them from Amazon, so we've done our best to find you the best deals available. Also, if you don't want to purchase your phone for full price, T-Mobile will let you pay in monthly installments. You can find out more info by visiting T-Mobile.com. Without anymore delay, let's get started!

Editor's note – We will be updating this list as more devices hit the market.

Update, August 2016: We removed the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Moto X Pure Edition to make room for the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 stands out from the competition in more ways than one. Not only is it the best big-screened smartphone out there, it might be the best smartphone on the market right now.

It sports a big, bright 5.7-inch Dual-edge Super AMOLED Quad HD display, a powerful Snapdragon 820 processor, plenty of RAM and on-board storage, an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, and microSD expansion. It also comes with the same great rear- and front-facing cameras that are present on the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. The camera package isn't the only thing the Note 7 borrows form the Galaxy S line. It also features a Dual-edge display, so all of the handy Edge display features found on the S7 Edge are present here, too.

The Note 7's S Pen has gotten a lot more useful as well. Now you can record pretty much anything on your screen and make it into a GIF, and you can also translate text from other languages, magnify certain parts of your screen, and much, much more.

This is a very pricey device, though, so be sure to weigh your options before spending over $800 on a smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge

Samsung did a killer job with their 2015 flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. Design-wise, many would say those two phones were close to perfect. The company forwent a plastic design and instead included glass front and back panels with an aluminum frame. They weren't without their flaws, though. The S6 and S6 Edge didn't offer expandable storage or removable batteries — two features Samsung has been known to include in all its smartphones for years.

Now the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have made their way to the masses, and they fix many of the problems the S6 line introduced last year. While they don't offer removable batteries, Samsung included expandable storage on both handsets in case the 32GB of on-board storage isn't enough. Samsung mostly stuck to the same design this time around, though they did shrink down the camera bumps on the back and made the devices a little thicker to make room for larger batteries.

In terms of specs, these are top-of-the-line smartphones. They come with Quad HD Super AMOLED displays, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processors, 4GB of RAM, great 12MP rear-facing cameras and run the latest version of Android. Instead of featuring the same screen sizes this time around though, Samsung kept the S7 at a smaller 5.1 inches, while the S7 Edge has been bumped up to a larger 5.5-inch panel.

Seriously, these are some incredible smartphones. They are a little pricey, but all in all, we think the high asking price is worth it.

HTC 10

HTC needed a saving grace this year, and the 10 just may be it. The Taiwanese company finally designed a phone that's different enough from its predecessor yet still sports a familiar design language. With an all-metal chassis, front-mounted fingerprint sensor and a new-and-improved speaker setup, the HTC 10 easily made its way to our best Android phones list.

Under the hood, the 10 comes with some killer specs. A 5.2-inch Quad HD display, Snapdragon 820 processor and 4 GB of RAM are in line with most other flagships this year, and it also comes with expandable storage up to 200 GB and a 3000 mAh battery that will have no problems lasting an entire day on a single charge. HTC also improved the camera this time around, which was a big flaw in last year's One M9 flagship.

All in all, the HTC 10 is an awesome device. Great specs and a solid build quality are what you'll get here… what more could you ask for?

Specs

5.2-inch Super LCD5 display with 2560 x 1440 resolution, 565 ppi

LG G5

While the Galaxy S7 series is a minor refresh in terms of design, the LG G5 sees a massive departure from the design language used in the G series, ditching the rear volume/power setup that first debuted with the LG G2. The G5 also adopts a unibody metallic design that has a removable cap for access to the removable battery and a port for modules that allow users to expand the phone's capabilities by adding a camera grip and other special accessories.

The distinctly different design of the LG G5 may not be for everyone, but there's little denying that LG has went out of its way to try and innovate in a market where big changes like this aren't all that common.

Spec wise, we're looking at a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 with 4GB RAM, a 5.3-inch display, and 32GB storage with microSD for expansion. The specs here are certainly impressive all across the board. It's also worth mentioning that LG has revamped its software, making it faster and less bloated. One controversial move with the software, however, is the removal of the app drawer in favor of what LG says is a "simplified experience."

Specs

5.3-inch IPS LCD display with 2560 x 1440 resolution, 554ppi
Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor
4GB of RAM
32GB of on-board storage, microSD expansion up to 200GB
16 and 8MP dual rear cameras, 8MP front camera
Removable 2800mAh battery

Nexus 6P

As the successor to last year's Motorola Nexus 6, Google recently unveiled the Huawei-made Nexus 6P. This device is the higher-end of the two Nexus phones announced at Google's event, and that's incredibly apparent when looking at the spec sheet.

It comes with a big 5.7-inch Quad HD AMOLED display, super fast Snapdragon 810 processor, a giant 3450mAh battery and an impressive 12MP rear-facing camera. Want to get your hands on one? The Nexus 6P is pretty cheap, considering the specs and build quality. You can purchase it from the Google Store starting at just $499!

This is really one of the best Android handsets we've ever seen. If you have a few hundred dollars to spend and aren't keen on the best from Samsung or LG, get the Nexus 6P.

Specs

5.7-inch AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 resolution, 518ppi
Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor
3GB of RAM
32/64/128GB of on-board storage, no microSD card expansion

LG V10

If you aren't completely satisfied with the LG G4, perhaps the V10 will suit your needs. It has the same powerful Snapdragon 808 processor and 16MP rear-facing camera as the G4, but with a few extra features included. Most notably, the V10 sports a secondary "ticker" display LG calls the Second Screen. This extra display aims to provide its users useful information without the need to turn on the main screen. It will display app shortcuts, notifications, and even weather and battery percentage information. Although the placement is a bit wonky, we're sure you'll be pretty happy with the added benefit of having a secondary display.

The V10 also has two front-facing cameras for wide-angle selfies, a fingerprint scanner that's actually really reliable, a MIL-STD-810G Transit Drop Compliant rating for shock absorption, and a 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC electronic processor with support for Qualcomm's QFE2550 closed-loop antenna tuning solution. It's also the first smartphone ever to come with a manual mode for taking video.

Both the V10 and the G4 are great smartphones. If you aren't concerned with spending a bit more money, though, you should buy the V10. It's available now from T-Mobile for $599.99.

Specs

Main display: 5.7-inch IPS Quantum Display with 2560 x 1440 resolution, 513ppi
- Secondary display: 2.1-inch IPS Quantum Display with 160 x 1040 resolution, 513ppi
Hexa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor

64GB of on-board storage, microSD expansion up to 2TB
16MP rear camera, 5MP Dual Lens front camera
Removable 3000mAh battery

Duo icon teaser

I know, it's tough to say so on launch day because Google Duo is barely a few hours old, but hear me out. Google has had this new video chat app in development for months and yet when it finally does launch it has a grand total of one feature: Knock Knock. Which only works on the Android lock screen (you have to be in the app on iOS for Knock Knock to work). Meaning Google's great FaceTime competitor has a grand total of nothing unique about it on iOS. That's half the battle lost already.

Now, I'm all for simplicity, so if Duo can prove to be the stable, reliable video chat app Skype never quite managed to be, then I'm all for it. Especially if it works as well as Google says it will in areas of weaker reception or poor network speeds. After all, an app that does one thing and does it flawlessly is perfectly acceptable. This is, perhaps, Duo's best chance for longevity, but first it needs users.

Duo's best chance for longevity is if it proves to be a stable, reliable video chat app, but first it needs users.

As with all social apps – whether a social network like Google+ or a chat app that relies on your friends installing it like WhatsApp – you need critical mass to make it viable. Even with Google forcing Google+ on us for years it still failed to catch on, and it had plenty of good features. So what, other than the novelty of yet another new chat app, makes Google think that people will install and stick with Duo?

When a new app launches with essentially one feature (that only works properly on one mobile OS), no desktop app, no support for multiple devices, and no particularly compelling reason to get people on iOS to install it (the other 'feature' Duo could be said to have is cross-platform support), then it sounds like a recipe for disaster. Simplicity is fine, mobile-only is OK, but there's clearly a lot missing here.

Tying the app to a phone number means there's no possibility to use Duo on multiple devices. This may not be a problem for a lot of people, but it also requires you to have phone numbers for all of your friends in order to Duo them. I don't know about you, but I have plenty of friends I speak to all the time that I don't have numbers for. Admittedly, this hasn't stopped WhatsApp from taking over the world, but there's also no web-based version of Duo or other fun features like stickers, group chats, AR overlays (or anything else really) to convince your friends to get on board.

Duo is the very non-definition of a must-install app.

So if you can't use Duo on multiple devices or even a computer, your iPhone-owning friends are pretty unlikely to install it because the one cool thing it does doesn't work on iOS unless you're already in the app, you can't chat with half your friends because you never updated their number after they lost their last phone, you can't just block annoying people in Duo alone because it's tied to contacts, your friends all need to install the app first and you're all already skeptical of Google's attempts at new messaging apps….you get where I'm going with this. Duo is the very non-definition of a must-install app.

Google Duo verify phone number

While I don't want to call Duo dead in the water just yet – I firmly believe it might carve out a niche if it can deliver solid stable video chat – I just can't see it being part of the new wave of Google messaging apps (along with Allo) that will unify and ultimately replace all of Google's other failed attempts.

Are you really willing to forego established apps like Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Skype and WhatsApp for an app that only does (good) video? I doubt it. The fact that Duo does video alone also means that even if it's outstanding it can't ever be anything but a supplement to other apps. Skype's connection quality has been terrible for a decade and I still use it, plus everyone already has Skype.

A pared-down Skype with none of the fun stuff and none of the users is a pretty hard sell. Duo's best chance of success is if it becomes a system app with Android 7.0 Nougat – but even then it's going to have a very tough time of things – just as Hangouts did before it.
