When purchasing your next smartphone, you might want to consider the latest flagship devices. Today, we want to discuss what the latest and greatest smartphones can offer for your business.

Google Pixel 6 Pro

Although Google hasn’t offered a flagship offering the past two years, their new device—the Google Pixel 6 Pro—might make up for its absence. It runs the new Tensor chip, along with a 6.7-inch LTPO display, 12 GB of RAM, and up to 512 GB of onboard storage. It also comes loaded with Android 12, Google’s latest mobile operating system. By prioritizing processing technology, the device’s performance can be improved. 

Google’s cameras have always been great, and the Pixel 6 Pro’s is no exception. Its three cameras include a 50 MP wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization (OIS), a 48 MP telephoto lens with OIS, and a fixed 12 MP ultrawide angle lens. It also sports a 5,003 mAh battery with 84 hours of battery life, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and 23W fast-charging. 

Available in Cloudy White, Sorta Sunny, and Stormy Black for $899, you can get the Pixel 6 Pro directly from Google or via many of the leading cellular carriers.

Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra

The Galaxy s21 Ultra sports a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 1,440 x 3,200 resolution housed in an aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back, all of which runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chip with 12 or 16 GB of RAM. The operating system, Android 11, runs with Samsung’s One UI 3.1, but it can be upgraded to One UI 4.0 and Android 12.

There are four different cameras on this device: a 108 MP wide-angle lens with OIS, a 10 MP telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom with OIS, another 10 MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and OIS, and a 12 MP ultrawide lens. The front-facing camera is 40 MP, and its security features include an in-display fingerprint scanner. Its 5,000 mAh battery lasts up to 114 hours of life with 25W fast charging. Additionally, the device has IP68 water and dust resistance and s-pen capabilities.

Available in Phantom Black, Phantom Silver, Phantom Titanium, Phantom Navy, and Phantom Brown, the Galaxy s21 Ultra starts at $1,199.99.
