What are the best high end cellphones of 2020?

If you really want the best of the best, they're not necessarily going to be the phones that are advertised in the commercials you usually see. What you need to be looking for is the higher end models that they're not telling you about in the ads. After all, how often do you see a Bugatti car commercial?

The top of the list for 2020 is the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, which as the name implies is better and more expensive than the regular S20.

Note also, much of what you are buying when you buy a high end phone is the fancier camera and the larger hard drive. Hence why the Google Pixel 5 makes this list, because it has a fancy camera that can do Astro-Photography and other fancy stuff.
