At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Good battery life, display and fast performance Cons Terrible cameras and bulky design Our Verdict A good screen and decent performance are marred by very poor cameras and bulky design. Best Prices Today: Oukitel Mix 2 Oukitel might not have the brand recognition of other Chinese companies such as Xiaomi or Huawei , but the company has had some interesting phones in the past. The K10000 Pro is probably its most famous thanks to the enormous battery that lasted up to five days of normal use, or 33-days on 4G standby....

I’ve used the Pixel 9 Pro XL since launch, not through lack of choice, but because I think it’s one of the best Android phones available. I’m a fan, you could say, but I’m not blind to its faults. When the Pixel 10 Pro leaks started, I was initially disappointed: the lack of design changes from the Pixel 9 Pro XL to the Pixel 10 Pro XL made the new phone seem iterative....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Power-efficient and powerful chip Speedy charging Reliable battery life Headphone jack Cons So-so camera system No hardware-level gaming features Limited software support Our Verdict Last year’s model was hard to justify for its non-existent performance uplift. The Poco F5 is back with the power you need, but the price is getting a little hard to swallow.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Although it may sound cliché, Realme is trying to redefine the mid-range phone market with the X2 Pro, offering an unprecedented level of performance that will only be surpassed by much more expensive handsets. We especially like the variety of models and configurations to choose from, something which means you can get a 90Hz screen for under £400. For this and many other reasons which are outlined below, this phone is easy to recommend....

It’s officially the end of an era. As SamMobile reports , the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra will no longer receive software updates, meaning all existing users should switch to a new phone . Released in August 2020, these are the last handsets to bear the Note branding, meaning that the line is, to all intents and purposes, dead. It’s a day we all knew was coming, but it doesn’t make it any easier....

At a Glance Our Verdict If you’re torn between the iPhone X and Galaxy S9, we’re not surprised. Both are fantastic choices, and you won’t be disappointed with either of them. The iPhone is more expensive than even the S9+, so if you’re happy with a single rear camera the smaller Galaxy S9 (which is roughly the same size as the iPhone X) is something of a bargain at over £250/US$250 cheaper....
