Mobile Phone Reviews

It’s the phone to choose if Pro-level specs don’t matter much to you.

It's the best value iPhone to get.

It's almost impossible to describe just how light it feels.

Apple’s design refresh and subtle refinements hit the mark, but that price tag still stings.

The Pixel 10 Pro might be one of the better Android phones for anyone who's not a power user or serious gamer.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 ‘Fan Edition’ is a great mid-range smartphone, but there's one big drawback.

Samsung finally nails it this year.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge feels incredible to hold and offers top-notch performance. But once the novelty fades, its limitations start to stand out.

It's a top-tier Android phone.

The S25 Ultra is still an Android powerhouse - blazing fast, seriously powerful, and packing an upgraded camera that’s easy to show off.

Apple’s levelled the playing field with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, making them an easy pick for anyone not deeply invested in Pro cameras.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are top-tier phones I’d recommend in a heartbeat if your budget allowed. But Apple Intelligence is best left on the sidelines for now.

Verdict: After a solid test run, I’m hyped enough to make the Pixel 9 Pro XL my new personal phone.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is definitely up there among the best if you’re into foldable tech. But the improvements from last year's model are too modest to justify an even higher price tag.

Verdict: The Pixel 8a is everything you’d want in a mid-range phone and more.

The Galaxy A55 ticks the majority of the boxes of what we’d want from a mid-range phone.

The S24 Ultra is hands down one of the best phones around. But is the hefty price tag worth it?

Not a whole lot sets the Galaxy Z Fold 5 apart from its predecessor.

The iPhone 15 Plus is a beautiful, albeit pricey handset, that finally has legs to stand on its own.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max delivers in so many ways, but is it worth the expensive price tag?

The iPhone 15 is a solid option for those that aren't fussed about gaming and graphics.

The iPhone 15 Pro packs a lot of power in a sleek, lighter body.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra looks an awful lot like the S22 Ultra, but Samsung has made some big changes in camera quality and performance.

Motorola’s lagged behind Samsung in the foldable stakes for years now, but the Motorola RAZR 2022 flips that script, delivering an excellent (but expensive) foldable with great battery life.

ASUS’s ROG Phone 6D Ultimate is an amazingly capable gaming phone at an equally jaw-dropping price.

If bigger phones leave you exasperated but you crave power, there’s a lot to like about the ASUS Zenfone 9 – with a few limitations along the way too.

The Oppo Reno8 Pro is a good phone, but it’s not a great phone, and that’s not enough to justify it at the price Oppo asks for it.

Apple’s iPhone 14 Plus falls into the same slightly-too-pricey category as the iPhone 14, but that’s because it’s just a big iPhone 14.

Motorola’s Edge 30 Neo has some nice design style and colour choices, but there’s little that really stands out in performance or camera features to get excited about.

Google's Pixel 7 Pro continues the search giant's journey through premium phones, offering good performance and a strong, AI-guided camera.

The iPhone 14 delivers Apple's usual quality and speed but at a price point that makes it almost impossible to recommend.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is a big phone with plenty of appeal to pro photographers

Apple's updates to the iPhone 14 Pro are likely too subtle to be worthwhile for everyday users.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip4's mediocre cameras and unimpressive battery life make it hard to recommend unless you love its folding phone style.

Samsung’s fourth generation Fold is still the best foldable money can buy – but you’ll need quite a lot of money to buy one.

Google’s budget Pixel 6a returns to the core values of Google’s A-series handsets, providing key Pixel features, although the design is plain and the screen could do with improvement.

The Samsung Galaxy A53 is an entirely adequate phone, but it doesn’t compare well against other phones in its price class – or even cheaper options like the Galaxy A33 5G.

It’s not quite Samsung’s cheapest Galaxy A series phone for 2022, but it might just be Samsung’s best value A series phone this year.

There's nothing quite like the Apple iPhone SE 2022 in its price range. If you want iOS, lots of processor power and upgrades for years to come, it could be good buy.

We were prepared to hate on the Samsung Galaxy S22, but its small frame is misleading.

Samsung is experimenting with this Note and S hybrid with the S22 Ultra. But with a high price tag and some specs we already saw last year, is it enough?

The Samsung Galaxy S22+ isn't the innovative reimagining of phones that Samsung promises.

The Nokia XR20 is a seriously tough phone, not just in terms of its endurance, but also in its general appeal.

Google's back in the true premium phone game with the exceptional Pixel 6 Pro. The larger size and shelf-style camera bump won't suit everyone, but if you want the best value Android flagship right now, this is it.

With that camera, battery and performance, the Pixel 6 Google reminds us yet again that it can do quality at an incredible price.

You don't need to upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro if you're using the iPhone 12 or 11, but if you do, you're going to get a seriously impressive handset.

Apple's upgraded iPhone 13 isn't quite its most desirable model, but it strikes a fine balance between price and features if you're firmly in the iPhone camp and looking for an upgrade from a much older handset.

Samsung has made some much-needed improvements to the Galaxy Z Fold's durability and price point, but it's well worth considering what else you can get for less money.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 3 is here, and we've gone hands on with the company's more affordable, more durable folding phone.

The TCL 20 Pro 5G delivers solid performance for its price range, but you can get a better camera phone for the same price.

The Oppo Find X3 Neo lacks the utter flagship features of the Find X3 Pro, but you will enjoy its lower price point.

If you want a fast processor in a smaller handset at a good price, the ASUS Zenfone 8 delivers, although it would be nice if it had more flexible cameras.

The realme C21 has some attractive style and onboard NFC, but it’s otherwise overshadowed by more powerful phones in the budget space.

Nokia’s budget-centric G10 offers great value for money, especially thanks to its three-year warranty and two years of upgrades built in.

The cheapest member of Motorola’s e7 family appeals due to its extra large battery and appealing design.

The Aspera R40 takes the tough feature phone challenge laid down by the Nokia 800 Tough and delivers a very similar product at a much cheaper price point.

The Motorola Moto e7 primarily sells on the fact that it’s rather cheap, and with that comes a well-balanced set of compromises.

If you can stand the price point, there’s an awful lot to like about Samsung’s highest tier Galaxy S21 handset.

It’s not particularly powerful or equipped with a fancy camera, but if you want a low-cost Android handset with some reasonable durability, there’s value to be found in Aspera’s latest phone.

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 delivers a more affordable flagship experience in a very nice form, although the lack of a charger, microSD expansion and Qualcomm’s best chips do mean it’s not quite the perfect smaller flagship phone Samsung says it is.
