The 6.7-inch device Samsung introduced at the IFA Electronics Show in Berlin is equipped with three rear cameras, including a 48-megapixel lens and one 32-megapixel front camera. It is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 platform with the X50 5G modem.
For the first time in Series A, you can connect your phone to a monitor or PC using Samsung DeX and the Microsoft Your Phone app.
As a result, the Galaxy A90 5G turned out to be a real budget flagship: high-performance, with an excellent bright screen, a good rear and excellent front cameras, as well as support for ultra-fast wireless technology.

Although Nokia is no longer the phone giant it was 15 years ago, its gadget line also has a good 5G smartphone.
At the MWC event, it was announced that Nokia 8.3 will offer the widest range of compatibility with various 5G networks around the world, while the phone will cost half as much as 5G devices offering less wide compatibility.
Nokia 8.3 is powered by the Snapdragon 765 processor, the first Qualcomm processor to integrate the brains of a 5G modem phone into one integrated module and is specifically designed for mid-range 5G phones.
In addition, the smartphone boasts an excellent rear camera with Zeiss optics, a main module of 64 MP, a wide-angle module with a viewing angle of 120 degrees, and support for Super Pixels technology for creating high-quality images in low light conditions. Another useful feature of the camera is shooting video with a “movie resolution” of 21: 9 sides.
Pros : there is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a separate button for launching Google Assistant.
Cons : no wireless charging, only fast 18 watts, no optical stabilization, no waterproof housing.
2. Xiaomi Mi 10 5G Smartphone
- smartphone with Android 10
- screen 6.67 ″, resolution 2340 × 1080
- four cameras 108 MP / 2 MP / 2 MP / 13 MP, autofocus
- 256 GB memory, without memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 8 GB RAM
- 4780 mAh battery
For less than 50 thousand rubles, you get a flagship smartphone with 5G support, a display with a refresh rate of 90Hz, a powerful battery and even a 108-megapixel rear camera.
The Mi 10 has a large AMOLED screen, gracefully curved edges and ultra-thin bezels. The manufacturer did not hide the selfie camera in the “bangs” or tear-like notch, but placed it in a tiny hole in the display on the left side.
The biggest advantage of the Mi 10 is its amazing 108 megapixel camera. Although an increase in the number of megapixels does not necessarily lead to better photos, the key advantage of such a camera is that the image retains clarity when zoomed in.
It is not surprising that the Mi 10 can catch the details that the human eye will miss, and under certain lighting conditions it will capture more details than other flagship smartphones, the latest in 2020 with 5G.
For the most part, these characteristics allow the Mi 10 to be considered the “flagship killer” of 2020. But he also has disadvantages. The Mi 10 series does not have an IP rating for water resistance. The phone does have some degree of water resistance, but an IP rating would give users more peace of mind.
In addition, the global version of Xiaomi Mi 10 only works with 1 SIM card. This is "cured" by buying a dual SIM tray (for example, on Aliexpress) and flashing it. Or by buying a Chinese, not a global version of the device.
Pros : super-fast charging, there is also wireless charging, high-quality (loud and clear) sound.
Cons : no 3.5 mm audio jack.
1. HUAWEI P40 Pro 5G Smartphone
- smartphone with Android 10
- dual SIM support
- 6.58 ″ screen, resolution 2640 × 1200
- four cameras 50 MP / 40 MP / 12 MP, autofocus
- 256 GB memory, memory card slot
- 3G, 4G LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC
- 8 GB RAM
- 4200 mAh battery
The best camera phone of 2020 can also be called the best smartphone with 5G support. Unless, of course, you can come to terms with the lack of Google services, instead of which HUAWEI offers its own branded app store.
Highest performance in applications and heavy games such as Real Racing 3, Need For Speed: No Limits and Gangstar: Vegas is provided by the HiSilicon Kirin 990 5G processor paired with the Mali-G76 MP16 video processor.
Huawei claims that thanks to a combination of hardware and software, the phone can achieve 100x magnification, although pictures taken in this way often look too blurry. Nevertheless, even with difficulty, they can even distinguish text (for example, signs), which the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra does not boast 100x zoom.
Like its predecessor, the P30 Pro, the Huawei P40 Pro also copes well with low-light photography.
The front camera has not only the main 32 MP sensor, but also a ToF sensor, and allows you to unlock the smartphone in the face of the owner.
Pros : waterproof housing according to the IP68 standard, there is wireless charging, a non-marking coating of the lid, the best camera among smartphones at the moment.
Cons : except that the lack of Google services and the lack of 3.5 mm audio jack.
