Oneplus 6T Vs Oneplus 6

At a Glance Our Verdict As is the case with every new OnePlus release, you can’t buy the older phone anymore. If you want to buy a OnePlus phone direct from the company, it will have to be the 6T. It has a larger display and bigger battery, but if you want a headphone jack you might want to seek out a OnePlus 6 second hand online. But the OnePlus 6T is technically the best OnePlus phone ever and its performance in the Android world is second only to that of a Pixel 3....

Oneplus Nord 2 Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Flagship processor Impressive main camera Understated design Strong software Cons Thick body Only 90Hz display Out-paced by rivals on value Our Verdict The Nord 2 makes a strong case for itself. The Dimensity 1200-AI chipset is one of the most powerful you’ll find for the price, the understated design remains appealing, and the main camera will outclass most rivals. While Xiaomi and Realme may deliver better value on paper, the OxygenOS software experience still gives OnePlus an undeniable edge....

Oppo Rx17 Pro Uk Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The RX17 Pro is a great-looking phone with good performance and a lush display. But with a Snapdragon 710 rather than the better 845 it’s just impossible not to compare it to the OnePlus 6T which looks the same, has better software for the western market and, importantly, costs less. If you like the look of Oppo’s interface though then there’s a lot to like....

Parrot Anafi Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict With a 180-degree tilting gimbal, a battery that charges via USB-C and the ability to record 4K HDR video, the Anafi is a well-priced drone. It can capture great 4K HDR video and detailed photos, but hides away other features behind in-app purchases. Best Prices Today: Parrot Anafi We weren’t the biggest fans of Parrot’s Bebop drones which, like the AR Drone before it, had fixed cameras and fixed, non-folding bodies....

Phone Cameras Comparison: Landscape

Phone cameras comparison: landscape Overall, the iPhone does a good job of landscape photos. There’s no noise and detail levels are pretty good: a little soft, but not over-sharpened. Colours are neutral. Phone cameras comparison: landscape This is a 100 percent crop of the previous photo so you can see the detail and sharpness from a section of the original photo. Phone cameras comparison: landscape The 6P shows good dynamic range and although a little underexposed, this is easily corrected either using an app on the phone or in Photoshop....

Pixel 2 Vs Iphone 8

At a Glance Our Verdict Pocketable flagship phones are few and far between, but both the Pixel 2 and iPhone 8 are great choices even if it’s hard to get excited about their designs. They both tick a lot of boxes, including waterproofing and great cameras, and both lack a headphone jack. Software will always be a big opinion divider and if you’ve invested a lot in apps you may be reluctant to buy them again on the rival platform....

Pixel 2 Xl Screen Problems Investigated

If you follow the smartphone world closely you will have noticed that the new Google Pixel 2 XL is hitting the headline for all the wrong reasons. Unlike the regular, smaller Pixel 2, the larger of Google’s new phones seems to have a display deficiency. Now the company is faced with complaints of not only blue tints from certain viewing angles, but burn-in where certain icons leave ghosting marks on the XL’s pOLED display....

Pixel 3 Xl Vs P20 Pro

At a Glance Our Verdict If you’re after a ‘pure’ Android experience then it’s impossible to beat a Pixel phone. You pay a premium for the latest model, and prices have gone up again this year to – presumably – keep in line with Apple and Samsung. That’s a shame after the great-value Nexus years, but nothing stays the same. It means that you have to really want the Pixel 3 XL, and it doesn’t have any really innovative (hardware) features to make it stand out....

Realme’S Cheap C31 And C35 Are Coming To The Uk

Phones don’t come much cheaper than the newly announced Realme C31 and C35, which launch in the UK today and retail from £129 and £149 respectively.

Of course, many corners have been cut to make the cheaper C31 about the same price as a pair of AirPods....

Redmi 6 Vs Redmi 6A: What’S The Difference?

At a Glance Our Verdict They look very alike, but storage, photography, performance and a fingerprint sensor separate Xiaomi’s two cheapest budget phones. Unless you’re on a very strict budget, the Redmi 6 is well worth the extra £8 over the 6A. Best Prices Today: Xiaomi Redmi 6 Xiaomi’s phone line-up can be a tad confusing, especially at the budget end. There’s less than £10 between Redmi 6 and 6A, with both available under £100....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Roborock S6’s vacuuming performance is very good, but mopping isn’t as effective. We’re looking forward to the new app, but for now the old one does the job. Best Prices Today: Roborock S6 Our first experience of Roborock was with the E2. It’s a fine introduction to robot vacuums, but you quickly wish it had a few extra features. Enter the S6, the successor to the previous flagship, the S5....

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Review

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Galaxy Note 8 sure is expensive, but the finest things in life don’t come cheap. The reality is the price will likely have dropped a good hundred pounds by Christmas, and you’ll possibly be looking to buy it on a contract anyway. If you can stomach the price, we are really taken by the Note 8. Until you see it you’ll find yourself wondering why anyone would choose it over the cheaper Galaxy S8+, but the S Pen alone justifies this price difference for us....

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Could Mark The Death Of The S26 Plus

Samsung has just announced the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it may have just spelled the end of the Plus smartphone series as we know it. According to a new report from South Korean website The Elec , next year’s Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge could arrive earlier in the year as part of the wider Galaxy S26 range. That has the potential to annoy any Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge buyers, who will find their £1,099 phone superseded within eight months....
