T-Mobile likes to cater more towards the tech nerds out there. So you’ll find a lot of phones that are only available on T-Mobile here, like the OnePlus 10 Pro and the TCL Stylus 5G among others. So you’ll see some here that are not on our other lists.
Best T-Mobile phones
T-Mobile has phones that range from around $100 up to over a grand. This list isn’t just Android smartphones – though about 90% Android. So that there is something here for everyone. Now T-Mobile does tend to discount their phones quite often, so you’ll want to check their site for whatever promos they are currently offering. Now, unlike AT&T and Verizon, T-Mobile still does 24 months for its financing. So these prices will appear to be higher than the competitors. But it’s the same price, you’ll just actually be paying it off sooner. All of these prices are per month, for 24 months unless otherwise stated.

Apple iPhone 14
Price: $33.34/month, for 24 monthsReleased: September 2022Where to buy: T-Mobile
Rounding out our best T-Mobile phones list here, we have the iPhone 14. We chose the standard iPhone 14 out of the four models, because it’s the best value. It’s $799 full retail, and offers a faster processor than most Android flagships. That’s thanks to the Apple A15 Bionic, which is incredibly fast. Surprisingly, there’s only 6GB of RAM here, with 128GB of storage. There are 256GB and 512GB models available too. It has a pretty small 3279mAh capacity battery but it will still last you all day, thanks to the insane software optimization that the iPhone has. The kicker here is that this phone will likely be updated far longer than any of the other phones on this list. Apple recently stopped updating the iPhone 6S after more than six years of new iOS updates. Apple iPhone 14 - T-Mobile
