Asus Zenfone 8

Asus has found a niche with the Zenfone 8. The company has released a smaller Android phone with top-tier specs, but it doesn’t come at a price tag to match. While it lacks the bells and whistles of the more expensive models, it still offers a great screen and speaker, plus a nice mix of performance and smart design. However, before we go further, let’s see what makes this phone stand out from the crowd.

Google Pixel

The Google Pixel line of phones was launched in 2016, following the Nexus line. Google first co-created the Nexus line, which was a series of Android phones that shipped with stock Android. After the Nexus line, Google started to manufacture its own phones and the Pixel line was the first of its kind. These phones feature a skin on top of Android known as Pixel UI. This UI is similar to stock Android, but adds features made specifically for the Pixel line. These phones also come with pre-installed apps.

Motorola G31

If you’re looking for a great stock Android phone that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, the Motorola G31 may be for you. This phone is equipped with a great battery life and has plenty of features, but lacks some key features of more expensive smartphones. Moreover, it runs a bloatware-free version of Android. While the phone’s display may seem old, it is a decent choice for those who don’t want to deal with the bloatware that plagues most phones in this price range.

HMD Global’s Zenfone 8

The Nokia 6.1 is the first phone from HMD Global to be announced at MWC 2018. While the device’s display is somewhat disappointing and the processor is somewhat slow, it is very durable and is a great choice for starters. At around $85 MSRP, it is not an expensive option but may not be as useful as you might think. The camera is a bit lacking and the phone is not as sharp as some rivals. However, it does have a large battery and a good battery life.

However, it lacks the stock Android experience you’re looking for. It lacks stereo speakers, but it compensates with the Motorola Audio Effects tuning software. You can tweak the sound with the included software to achieve a better balance between bass and treble.

Moto G40 Fusion

The Moto G40 Fusion is a great option if you want a near-stock Android experience. This phone runs Android 11 right out of the box and will be eligible for an Android 12 update in the future. It will also receive two years of security updates. The biggest upside of this phone is its overall performance. It has a Qualcomm SM7150 Snapdragon 732G processor that delivers outstanding performance. The battery life is good, too. We’ve found the Moto G40 Fusion to last nearly two days on a charge.
