September 22, 2020 *

Is it time for you to start shopping for a new Android smartphone? If so, you might find the vast spectrum of choices beyond dizzying. Since you have already narrowed your options down to Android, omitting iOS, you are in a good position to make a quick decision. A few of the top new Android phones for 2020 are the Google Pixel 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 20.
