Editor's Choice: For a limited time, Verizon has the budget friendly Galaxy S20 FE on sale. Just open a new line at Verizon and the phone is yours. (No trade-in or unlimited data plan is required). The Editor's Choice phone is no longer Samsung's flagship, but still provides excellent value. It packs a a 6.5-inch AMOLED (2400 x 1080) 120Hz LCD, Snapdragon 865 CPU, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage.

If you're looking for value, the Editor's Choice iPhone SE 2022 is hard to beat. It's one of the best phones you can buy right now. In our iPhone SE 2022 review, we called the new phone the fastest phone you can buy for under $500. 

The iPhone SE 2022 is very similar to its predecessor. The main difference is the addition of a new A15 Bionic CPU, which is the same chip found in the iPhone 13 lineup. The new CPU brings better battery life (up to 15 hours) and advanced camera features like Photographic Styles and Deep Fusion. 

Not an iOS fan? The Editor's Choice Galaxy S20 FE packs all the best features of the Galaxy S20 into a more affordable package. Sure, it's a generation old, but this is a killer phone to get for free. It gives you a 120Hz display, 5G support, and triple cameras with 30x Space Zoom.

    New line required. Verizon charges an insane amount of money for plan activation and plans in general. I have trouble believing that this borderline Verizon bootlicking wasn't paid for.
