If you are looking for the most powerful Android phones but without the excesses of the super high range, here we select the best high-end mobiles that we have known during 2020. For this, we will attend to the price range that goes from 450 euros to 899 euros.
The high-end is where manufacturers throw all their meat on the grill, with the most powerful processors, the best finishes, the best settings for photography, and often 5G connectivity as standard. Let’s see what they are being the best high-end mobiles and medium-high range of this 2020.
Samsung Galaxy S20
We begin our chronological review of the Samsung Galaxy S20, one of the first high-end that we met this year and that, despite being the “minor” model of the S20 series, has a deserved position among the best mobiles of the year, standing out among other details for your 120 Hz AMOLED display.
The screen takes much of the role, with the 10 MP front camera and the fingerprint sensor integrated into it, but the terminal also stands out for its 64 MP telephoto triple rear camera and for being one of the few “compact” bets in the high range.

Samsung Galaxy S20 +
In the same price range and for just a few euros more, there is another S20 terminal that fully enters the high-end classification: the Samsung Galaxy S20 +. In technical specifications it does not differ much from the Galaxy S20, the main difference being the largest screen size (and from the terminal). Here is 6.7-inch AMOLED.
For the rest, the Samsung Galaxy S20 + continues to bet on the Exynos 990 and it is also a terminal with 5G connectivity, although the battery capacity rises to 4,500 mAh. The camera is also a bit better, earning a ToF sensor extra.

Xiaomi Mi 10
The Xiaomi Mi 10 is another of the first high-end that we met in 2020, standing out especially for its camera four lenses with a 108 megapixel main sensor. It is a lens less than the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro, although in return it has more battery, 4,780 mAh.
The Xiaomi Mi 10 mounts a 6.67-inch FHD + screen, with the 20 MP perforated front camera and the fingerprint sensor under its surface, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 and 5G connectivity.

Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro
With a name similar to the previous one, although totally different, the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Pro was technically launched in 2019, although it was put on sale at the gates of 2020. Like the Xiaomi Mi 10, it stands out for its photographic commitment, with five lenses and a 108 megapixel main sensor.
With Snapdragon 730G On board, the Xiaomi Note 10 Pro sits on the thin line that separates the more premium mid-range and the high-end, with a large 5,260 mAh battery and a 6.47 AMOLED screen with a drop-shaped notch.

Huawei P40
Despite not carrying the Pro surname, the Huawei P40 stands out for its good construction and design, in addition to having power to spare, with Kirin 990, a versatile triple camera with a 50 MP main sensor and a 6.1-inch OLED screen.
It is one of the few compact high-end you’ll find today, with a height of 148mm. It has a 3,800 mAh battery, 5G connectivity and its Achilles heel is in the software, since pre-installed Google services are not included.

OPPO Find X2 Neo
This year the OPPO Find X2 range has been unfolded in multiple versions and, although the older versions are going out of budget for our compilation, the OPPO Find X2 Neo enters fully. Is a 5G terminal with Snapdragon 765G and a lot of RAM: there is no version with less than 12 GB.
The OPPO Find X2 stands out for taking the screen from edge to edge, curved in between. An FHD +, AMOLED screen and with a refresh rate of 90 Hz. For photography it has a quad camera with a 48 megapixel main sensor.

OPPO Find X2 Lite
Also with Snapdragon 765G and 5G connectivity we have the OPPO Find X2 Lite, another mobile halfway between the most powerful mid-range and the traditional high-end, although cheaper than the OPPO Find X2 Neo we saw before.
The OPPO Find X2 Lite mounts a 6.4-inch AMOLED screen, 8 GB of RAM and a quad camera with 48 megapixel main sensor. The fingerprint reader is located under the screen and the 4025 mAh battery with 30W fast charge.

OnePlus 8
The flagship killer that ended up becoming flagship could not be missing from our list: the OnePlus 8, with Snapdragon 865 and 5G connectivity. One of its strengths is on its 6.55-inch AMOLED screen and with a 90 Hz refresh rate.
On the OnePlus 8 you have great design, great performance, and one of the smoothest layers of customization, Oxygen OS. The terminal has a 4,300 mAh battery and a triple camera signed by Sony, with 48 megapixel main sensor.

Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite
The Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite was launched as an S10 for the masses – with the permission of the Galaxy S10e – and it comes to something like a modern take on last year’s high-end, with the same power and a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen that solves the dilemma of the front camera with a hole in the screen.
Unlike other terminals on our list, we are left with an LTE connection in this Galaxy S10 Lite that mounts a triple camera with 48 megapixel sensor, 12 MP wide angle and 5 MP macro.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite
Samsung’s Note series does not exactly stand out for being the cheapest, but this year we were surprised to meet the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite. The concept is similar to that of the Galaxy S10 Lite, only here based on the Note series and, therefore, with support for S Pen.
Despite what its name might suggest, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite is larger than the original Note 10, which has the side effect of being able to increase the battery at 4,500 mAh. All this with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, with a hole for the camera for selfies.

Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro
For a moment we believed that Xiaomi would not continue its series of high-end mobiles with a very reasonable price, but finally the POCO F2 Pro arrived. A new 5G mobile with Snapdragon 865 and AMOLED FHD + screen at a very attractive price.
The Xiaomi Poco F2 bets on the motorized 20 MP front camera and a quad rear camera 64 + 13 + 5 + 2 MP. All this with a 4,700 mAh battery with 30W fast charge, fingerprint reader on the screen, NFC, infrared and minijack.

Realme X3 SuperZoom
The Realme X3 ZuperZoom is a 2020 high-end with a processor from last year. It has the Snapdragon 855+ on board, still very powerful and allowing to keep the price of the terminal at bay. So much so that the Realme X3 SuperZoom is one of the cheapest phones on our list.
Other noteworthy points of the Realme X3 SuperZoom are its 120 Hz LCD display, the double front camera, 64 megapixel quad rear camera, 4,200 mAh battery and 30W fast charge. All this with 12 GB of RAM.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G
