Your question needs a bit of clarification. Are you asking about Android phones that are only available in the United States, or Android phones available worldwide?
DXOMark.com gives the Huawei P50 Pro highest marks right now. But the phone is banned from sale in the U.S.
The United States banned Huawei's telecom equipment, so did other countries alleging they were spying and sending info overseas to China, thus becoming a National Security Issue. The telecom equipment in question were broadband modems, routers etc (Anything where large amounts of data were going through).
Initially Smartphones were not on the ban, but to be safe Google banned the utilizaton of Android Software on Huawei, which is the OIS for all Android Phones, so that effectively crippled Huawei. Huawei still sells phones along with its subsidary Honor Phones. Honor phones has Android as they were not banned by Google, and Huawei developed its own limited software operating system.
However their cameras still are the best. You can still buy it, it is not illegal to buy it. But to do so, you wont have Android and thus you wont have the Google Play Store plus they are expensive due to their cameras.
Here is a link to buy the P50 pro plus on Amazon via a New Hampshire Store.

Vivo 70 Pro Plus is also an excellent Camera, they have teamed with Zeiss Optics, and in many cases, their images have to be seen to be believed particularly night shots. They are chinese phones as well
