Hate iPhone? Here are some of the best Android alternatives

OnePlus 6

When it comes to value, the OnePlus 6 is currently the best mix of price and performance. With the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, a modern 2018 design with a 6.28-inch edge-to-edge display (with a notch), solid cameras, headphone jack and 64GB of storage make for an all around, speedy and impressive device that stacks up nicely to Apple and Samsung's latest.

At a starting price of $529 unlocked (a model with more RAM and 128GB of storage is $50 more, one with 256GB of storage is $629), it also is significantly cheaper than those phones.

Yes, it has drawbacks such as no wireless charging or water resistance. And as with earlier OnePlus phones, carrier support is limited to AT&T, U.S. Cellular or T-Mobile's networks. But for those who want to save money and get a top-of-the-line device, the OnePlus 6 is hard to beat.

Moto X4

One of the big benefits of Android devices is their affordability. Whereas Apple's new iPhones generally start above $600, a number of capable Android phones are priced well below that price. 

Motorola's Moto X4 is one such phone. At $299.99 unlocked (or $249.99 if you have Amazon Prime), it offers a large 5.2-inch HD display, has dual cameras on the back, fast charging, water resistance and comes with 32GB of built-in storage. It works on any of the four major wireless carriers. 

While it was released last year, its Qualcomm 630 processor is still solid, and Motorola has a good track record of updating its phones. The company has already promised to update the phone to the latest version of Android, called Pie, this fall.
