Best unlocked Android phones (September 2016)

Now that an increasing amount of smartphone manufacturers are selling their phones at cheaper price points, it's much easier for consumers to afford an off-contract device rather than purchasing one with a two-year contract. At least in the United States, the way smartphones are priced has changed dramatically, and that's a good thing.

So, what are the best smartphones out there for those who'd like to forgo the standard contract and buy unlocked? We're here to take you through the best unlocked Android smartphones for under $250, under $500 and over $500. As always, if you have anything you'd like to suggest, be sure to speak up in the comment section at the bottom of the post.

Editor's note: We'll be updating this list regularly as new devices launch. It's also worth noting that this article is written for a U.S.-centric point of view, though (since they are unlocked) pretty much all of these devices are available outside of the U.S., at least in some capacity.

Update, September 2016: This month there were no changes to our list. While we would have added the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 here, we want to wait until all the recall issues are fully sorted and the phone returns to the market. At that time, we'll update this post again and bring the Note 7 into the mix.

Best phones under $250

Motorola Moto G4 Plus

Instead of announcing just one Moto G variant this year, Lenovo brought us three different devices – the Moto G4 Plus, Moto G4 and Moto G4 Play.

The highest-end of the bunch is the Moto G4 Plus, and it brings a handful of notable improvements to the Moto G range. It has a big 1080p display, capable processor, expandable storage, and even a fingerprint sensor this time around. While we had a slight problem with the volume/power buttons and the camera in low light, we can honestly say this is one of the best budget offerings in 2016.

Right now you can buy it in the U.S. for $249.99 through Amazon or Motorola.com.

OnePlus X

The OnePlus X is one of the best budget devices you can purchase right now. It's compact, extremely fast, and boasts many of the same software features that come with its older brother, the OnePlus 2. It has an impressive 5.0-inch AMOLED display, a perfectly capable Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 gigabytes of RAM, microSD card expansion up to 128GB and two SIM card slots.

There are a few things to watch out for, though. If you want to activate the device on AT&T or T-Mobile's networks, you may not have great 4G LTE coverage, as the device is missing the appropriate bands. It also comes with no NFC on board, so you won't be able to use mobile payment methods like Android Pay. Oh, and OnePlus has just axed the invite system for the OnePlus X, so you can now buy it from the company whenever you'd like, without waiting in line for an invite!

If you're looking for a budget-friendly smartphone and don't mind spending a few extra bucks, get the OnePlus X. You can purchase it from OnePlus' website for $249.99.

honor 5X

Huawei has finally announced its plans to break into the US market with the honor 5X. The honor 5X was announced a number of months ago, but it was just recently revealed that the dual-SIM budget handset would be coming to the United States for only $200.

Featuring an all-metal build and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, the 5X absolutely comes to market with a few features that we don't normally see on sub-$200 smartphones. It comes with a big 5.5-inch Full HD display, Snapdragon 616 processor, 16 GB of storage and microSD expansion up to 128 GB. It also comes with a 13 MP rear camera, a pretty sizable 3000 mAh battery, and runs Huawei's EMUI atop Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box. Huawei says the device will receive its update to Android 6.0 Marshmallow sometime soon, as well.

You can pre-order the honor 5X from Amazon in Dark Grey, Daybreak Silver or Sunset Gold color options for only $199.99.

Best phones under $500

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 3450 mAh 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!

We've just published our full review of this handset, and come to the conclusion that it's up there with the best of the best.

OnePlus 3

OnePlus did a great job at hyping up its 2015 flagship, the OnePlus 2. After missing the mark in a few key areas like camera and software performance, though, it was very clear the company still had a lot of work to do.

Fast forward to 2016 and we now have the OnePlus 3. Not only does it fix many of the issues we had with the 2, it also brings some new software and camera features to the table that are definitely worth checking out.

With the OnePlus 3 you get a thin, all-metal unibody design, a Snapdragon 820 processor, a massive 6GB of RAM and a perfectly capable 16MP rear camera. The battery is a little smaller this time around, but it does come with Dash Charging technology that will be able to get you a 60% charge in just 30 minutes. Oh, it has NFC too!

The best part? You can buy it right now for just $399 without and invite. That's right – OnePlus has finally done away with the dreaded invite system for good.

Motorola Moto X Style (aka Pure Edition)

With the original Moto X, Motorola proved you don't need to have the latest specs to get a great user experience. With the second generation, the Lenovo-owned company took no chances and double-downed on the spec side as well, packing the new Moto X (2014) with a dense 5.2-inch AMOLED screen, a beefy processor, and a capable 13 MP camera. But with the Moto X Style, Motorola reaches the perfect balance between performance, simplicity, price and… well, style.

By Style we are mostly referring customization capabilities, a factor which has been an integral part of the Moto X experience since day one. Customers can use Moto Maker to manipulate their devices' aesthetics to their will. You can change the color of the metal areas, engrave the back and even choose from a plethora of back options, including materials leather, wood, rubber and other materials.

The device is not a bad contender in terms of hardware, either. The larger screen puts the phone up with contenders like the OnePlus 2, Nexus 6, LG G4 and the Galaxy Note series. It may not sport the "best" processor in the market, but the Snapdragon 808 is pretty close to the 810, and Motorola has proven time and again they can make a super fast phone without the greatest chipset. The best part? This phone's price will start at only $399!

It's worth noting that the phone will be sold in most markets under the Style branding, though in the United States it will be sold as the Moto X Pure Edition, an unlocked model that will play nice with all U.S. carriers.

Best phones above $500

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 32 GB 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, 4 GB of RAM, great 12 MP 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?

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 4 GB RAM, a 5.3-inch display, and 32 GB 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."

Samsung Galaxy Note 5

It's hard denying that Samsung has always been the king of large-screened smartphones, and that still holds true today. With its crystal clear 5.7-inch display, powerful Exynos 7420 CPU and killer 16 MP rear-facing camera, the Galaxy Note 5 is one of the best Android phones available on the market right now.

It's an all-around solid device, boasting an all-glass chassis that's similar to that of the Galaxy S7. It comes with an improved S Pen and some great multitasking features that will make it easy to get work done. The software is much more clean and simple than we've seen from the company in the past, too.

With all of that said, though, this device doesn't come without its caveats. Samsung's decision to omit the microSD card slot and removable battery has been a controversial one over the past few weeks, especially among Samsung die-hards. Even with these notable omissions, the Note 5 can still be considered one of the best out there.

If you're looking for a big smartphone and money is no object, you should definitely consider picking up the Galaxy Note 5.

Amazon offering Moto G Play for $99.99, if you don’t mind the lockscreen ads

moto-g-play-amazon

Amazon's attempt to break into the phone market with the Fire Phone proved nothing short of a disaster, but rather than jump out of the market entirely, the e-tailer is taking another route. Back in June, Amazon announced that it would offer the Moto G4 and BLU R1 HD at discounted prices exclusively to Prime members, with the only catch being ads on the lockscreen.

Now Amazon is adding a third member to this growing family, with the Moto G Play.

Better known as the Moto G4 Play in some markets, the handset will be priced at $99.99 and offers decent entry level specs including a 5-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 410 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, microSD, a 2800 mAh battery, 8MP main cam, 5MP front cam, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow onboard. In many ways the G4 Play is the 'direct' successor to older G series phones, while the G4 and G4 Plus offer larger screens and other improvements over the Moto G3.

Probably one of the best things about the Moto G Play is that it supports all four major US networks, so you can take it to AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, or Verizon. It should also play nicely with a number of different MVNOs.

Pre-orders for the Moto G Play start today, with the phone expected to ship on September 15th. What do you think, is this a deal worth getting? Shout out your thoughts in the comments below.

Ever notice Android OEMs seem to avoid talking about the fact they use Android?

Sony Xperia X Compact Hands On-1

If you've ever watched an OEM event like like Samsung's Unpacked, or attended (virtually, or otherwise) a press conference from MWC, IFA, or elsewhere, you may have noticed that for all the things that these companies talk about, there is one subject that often gets avoided entirely. For some reason, many Android handset manufacturers seem to have an aversion to the word "Android".

With Google's beloved OS being the foundation on which the majority of these mobile tech conglomerates have built their success, you'd think that Android would be respectfully, if not lovingly, mentioned during presentations for new devices. After all, they do run on Android in spite of any aesthetic changes made or features added, but you wouldn't know that by listening to how OEMs are presenting their devices.

However, the loss of Android's identity isn't the only problem that this creates. By all appearances, it seems that shifting focus from Android to OEM skins allows companies to launch brand new phones that run outdated versions of Android without having to reduce the cost. If Android's role in the equation is minimal, then it should make no different that the latest $800 smartphone is running last year's version of Android, right?

It's definitely an odd situation, so we did some digging to find out more. By the end of this discussion, you'll better understand why OEMs have downgraded the Android operating system from the centerpiece of the Android smartphone market to mere wallflower.

An identity crisis in bloom

Huawei Nova and Nova Plus Hands On-6

Although there are many differences between Android and iOS, one of Android's most fundamental differences has always worked to its advantage, in that it's an open-source firmware available on a wide variety of devices. If you're an iOS user, your only choice is to get one of just a couple generations of iPhone available at any given time. By comparison, Android has always been a much more fluid operating system, appearing on a plethora of devices with their own unique hardware offerings to complement Google's mobile OS.

Ironically, this is a major factor in one of the greatest weaknesses of Android: With so many different devices running Android, it's hard to keep them all up to date, especially when you consider the changes that most OEMs make to Android. In theory, it could be as simple as flashing the latest version of Android on the day it comes out; instead, OEMs have to rework new releases of Android, meantime creating many different variations of their custom Android so that they can accommodate each of their devices' specifications. And this doesn't even account for the tests and modifications that wireless carriers must make to OEMs' Android updates to make sure they function appropriately on their networks and, of course, to add carrier bloat.

galaxy s7 vs htc 10 vs lg g5 aa (6 of 10)

This process has resulted in something of an identity crisis for Android. The majority of Android users are actually using reimagined versions of Android such as Samsung's TouchWiz, HTC's Sense UI, LG UI, Huawei's Emotion UI, Sony's Xperia UI, and the list goes on. In fact, one of the few opportunities to use pure, unadulterated, or "vanilla", Android has been with Google's own Nexus line of handsets which offer a stock Android experience (although we've heard through the grapevine this may no longer be the case). While this disparity was only incidental at first, OEMs seems to be consciously distancing themselves from Android, preferring to instead refer to the operation system running on their devices by their respective skins.

More alike than different

samsung galaxy note 7 vs nexus 6p quick look aa-12

The skins that are the most well-received tend to be those that most closely resemble Android, but when it comes down to it, OEMs' skins are more similar to Android than they are different. Oftentimes it's mere cosmetic changes that are the defining differences although some skins do add some additional functionality or personalization options. More often than not, a lot of the characteristics that are meant to distance devices' firmwares from stock Android can be downloaded right from the Google Play Store. Take Sony's Xperia line as an example; you can use many Xperia apps on any device with just a simple download. In many cases, the experiences OEMs are allegedly offering by pushing their modified versions of Android aren't always limited to the original devices.

When you consider that the fundamentals of Android remain much the same throughout the Android smartphone market, you might begin to wonder why, exactly, OEMs seem to be avoidant when it comes to mentioning Android by name.

A case of misdirection

Android Marshmallow Android Nougat AA

In addition to vanilla Android, there are many other "flavors" of the operating system with each smartphone manufacturer taking it upon themselves to modify the software, changing the aesthetic or adding additional features. While this diversity gives people options, it has reached the point of being much more a limitation than an advantage. Android is extremely fragmented despite Google trying to take more control over the Android experience.

So far, it's been largely up to smartphone manufacturers to update their devices. This has been a major point of contention because while there have been those OEMs that have updated devices relatively quickly (i.e., Lenovo-rola), the vast majority have been extremely slow to update devices to newer versions of Android. And it's pretty clear the OEMs are aware of this by their reluctance to mention Android by name.

Just over a week ago, Google released Android 7.0 Nougat. That day, Nexus devices either received the update over the air or were able to update their phones manually shortly thereafter. For virtually everyone else, the day Android Nougat was released signaled the start of what could be a pretty long wait for our Samsungs, HTCs, LGs, ZTEs, Motorolas, and many other devices. And for a number more, they will never see an update.

Where this becomes a bit of a problem is when you consider that there have been a lot of really promising devices to be released very recently and we saw an entire lineup of upcoming devices being presented at IFA recently. And you know what's interesting? All these devices are or will be running last year's version of Android.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was officially released just three days before the release of Android Nougat, and while Samsung has assured that the device will see a swift update, in Samsung Speak that means at least a couple months. In other words, this brand new, top-of-the-line, 900-dollar device is running year-old Android. The same thing goes for the phones we're seeing presented at IFA. They're all going to ship with last year's Android Marshmallow, despite the fact that Nougat was released over a week ago; however, by avoiding any mention of Android and calling out that its a "new version" of EMUI, Xperia UI, or whatever have you — these companies are hoping we won't realize that all their new devices are already outdated before they're even released.

Not all Android devices are created equal

flagships aa (9 of 13)

The refusal to mention Android isn't doing anybody any favors. Sooner or later, we're all going to realize which devices are launching with old versions of Android, but that's not even the main issue.

In addition to the software experience, the devices that OEMs make differ in terms of hardware, design, and features. Where Android is currently the unspoken elephant in the auditorium, OEMs should be explaining how Android Marshmallow complements their devices' hardware. Why did they decide to release devices running old Android the month after new Android was released? How did they marry the functionality of Android with hardware? Will these devices they're so excited about be abandoned and stop receiving updates or support in two years? How aggressive will they be with getting us updates?

It makes sense that OEMs would want to spend more time talking about hardware since that's their contribution to the smartphone equation. However, users need to know about the software that's running their devices. Sidestepping the matter is only making users less trusting of Android. Sure, not all OEMs are necessarily that bad at this, and several have even improved their software to make it stock-like in recent times. Still, it seems that even though we are seeing more stock-like software, OEMs seem hesitant to call out Android specifically by name, as it is easier to avoid talking about Android versions than to actually move quickly and keep up with Android updates.

samsung galaxy note 7 vs nexus 6p quick look aa-4

Apple is going to be releasing the latest generation iPhones in the very new feature, and the newest version of iOS. There's no question that the iPhone 7 will be running that new version of iOS. Meanwhile, we must wait until the launch of the LG V20 later today before we see the arrival of a phone that runs the latest version of Android out of the box. And, aside from the Nexus family, we are likely months out before Nougat begins to officially surface on existing phones.

What are your thoughts on this issue? Had you noticed that OEMs seem to be crop Android out of the picture? Do you agree that Android is having a bit of an identity crisis? Is it a big deal that OEMs ship with older OS versions or do their customizations make up for this anyhow? As always, sound off in the comments below.
