Looking for a work cell phone? Want to work from your phone? We’ve got professional smartphone recommendations at entry-level, mid-range and high-end prices.
Stay connected with a phone that lets you do it all. We’re talking email, calling, streaming and running multiple apps at once without everything falling apart. Here’s a rundown of some of the top rated smartphones around for professionals in three price brackets. These phones come ready to work and are made for task management, organization, multitasking and easily keep up with your busy day.
Combining work and personal phone
There’s nothing more annoying than carrying two smartphones, one for home and one for work. With our top three recommendations, you don’t need to sacrifice on the features you want on the weekend. These smartphones with good cameras are also great phones for keeping up at work. It’s your work phone and personal phone all wrapped up in one.
Entry-level: Moto E4 Plus $169 ($11/mo with financing from Affirm)
Want to see what a budget work phone looks like? Meet the Moto E4 Plus. It has a 5.5-inch HD display and a massive 5,000 mAh battery to get you through a couple of workdays. The Moto E4 Plus packs a punch at a great price. What’s more, its advanced front and rear cameras take photos that belie the price.
Mid-range: iPhone 7 $449 ($21/mo with financing from Affirm)
We’ve said time and time again, even though Apple has released several models since iPhone 7, we still love this phone. iPhone 7 features a 12 MP camera with an ƒ/1.8 aperture for great low-light photos and 4K video. It has a 4.7-inch Retina HD display with wide color and 3D Touch. It also comes with Touch ID so you can keep your work email, calendar and documents safe and secure.
High-end: Samsung Galaxy Note9 $999 (from $47/mo with financing from Affirm)
We’re recommending the Note9 for the super smart stylus, a requisite for some professionals who want their smartphone to function more like a pocket computer. Your stylus, S Pen, can be paired with devices and used for slideshows and presentations, which makes this an awesome phone for professionals on the go. You can use S Pen to activate your Note9 camera and even control the camera remotely. Work from home on your phone with this Samsung powerhouse.
