Android phones

Apps stalling? Battery crawling? Can’t get through the day without a charger in your pocket? That’s a hard no from us. The right Android phone doesn’t flake on the basics, and you’ll find exactly that and more right here.

As Australia’s go-to for mobile phones, JB is loaded with the best Android phones from all the big names. Whether you’re chasing everyday smarts or want a new phone with a bit more grunt, there’s one or two here that’ll do the job.

Android phones are mobile phones that run on Google’s operating system. Unlike closed systems, Android is open-source, which means it runs across heaps of devices from the biggest brands in the game.

• Lots of choice in form factor. Android phones come in way more shapes and sizes, from pocket rockets to massive OLED screens for multitasking. Some even pack in a stylus so you can sketch, sign or scribble straight on the screen.
• A “personal” experience, literally. Customise the lot, from shortcuts, widgets, alerts, lock screen, layout, the works. Some have dual SIM or eSIM functionality, so you can juggle work and personal stuff or switch networks on your terms.
• Smart AI integration. Android smartphones pack in AI features that do the work for you, from cleaning up your photos to helping you write a message.
• Future-proof performance. Think Qualcomm Snapdragon or Tensor chips to handle multitasking, streaming, gaming and everything in between. Most handsets run Android 16, so you’re set for the latest features and updates straight out of the box.
• Smooth connectivity. Android phones make it easy to move files and plug in accessories like keyboards, smart watches, earbuds and more. With USB-C, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you can charge or sync without the usual roadblocks.
• Price points for everyone. Doesn’t matter what your budget is. At JB, we’ve got everything from flagship phones to budget bangers that punch above their price.

Android runs across heaps of different brands. But you don’t have to chase them across different sites. Whether you want full-blown flagship power or a simple phone that just works, JB’s got the best Android phones from the brands people actually rate, including:

• Samsung
• Google
• OPPO
• TCL
• HONOR
• Motorola
• Nokia
• NOTHING Phone
• HMD

What’s right depends on how you use your phone. Some want raw power, while others want the best camera phone, something different or just a solid all-rounder. Whatever you’re into, JB’s range has an Android for every kind of user.

• Want speed and power? Go straight to the flagships. The Samsung Galaxy S26 Series brings the grunt, with the S26 Ultra, S26+, and S26 base model all packing fast chips, high refresh rates, all-day battery life and wireless charging. Prefer a powerhouse from last gen? The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra still goes hard. Or, check out the Pixel 11 Pro XL from the Google Pixel 11 Series for sharp performance, clean software and speed when it counts.
• Love phone photography? Nail every shot with the Google Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro, with clever Gemini AI features that clean up your pics before you even hit edit. The Samsung Galaxy S25+ gives you a sharp selfie camera and a tidy main camera setup, all wrapped in a slick finish.
• Want your phone to fold or flip? Done. We’ve got foldable phones that bring the wow and still pull their weight. From the Galaxy Z Flip8 to the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, these Samsung phones pack big-screen specs that actually work day to day. The Motorola Razr throws it back with that retro flip-phone vibe, while the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold comes stacked with clean Google smarts.
• Chasing value without dropping specs? The Samsung Galaxy S24 Series still packs in the good stuff, while the Galaxy S25 FE brings the grunt with fast performance and handy extras. The Google Pixel 10 Series also brings smart tools and solid camera power, even as an older gen.
• After a phone that just works? Easy. Samsung’s Galaxy A Series covers the basics without feeling basic. Think USB-C, decent cameras and no weird slowdowns. If you’re in the Pixel camp, the Google Pixel 10a and Google Pixel 9a are great picks that don’t miss the essentials.

Don’t just scroll through life. Power through it with the hottest Android phones at JB. Night shots? Editing on the fly? Stream shows without a hitch? These phones can do it all, and then some.
