Flagship

A well-themed limited edition with faster charging and more RAM and storage, but it is still a 6T underneath, so 6 owners need not upgrade.

The last phone before the OnePlus 5, which marked a major shift in direction.

Similar to the Oppo Find X but with an in-display fingerprint scanner, headphone jack and lower price, making it better value.

The see-through version with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage has an epic design, even if the RAM is overkill.

Touch ID is used as the example of a capacitive fingerprint sensor, about 50 times more secure than 2D face unlock.

Face ID is explained as the most secure biometric, matching a six-digit PIN at one in a million.

Mentioned only as last year's model, which looks plain next to the View20.

Arun thinks the rumoured Find X2 could be a very exciting flagship if Oppo ships its new zoom, fingerprint and charging tech.

Arun points to the R17 Pro as the phone that already has Oppo's Super VOOC charging.

Defies its price with real flair, a Snapdragon 845 and handy software features like full gesture control.

Interested to see how Nokia uses five cameras on its upcoming flagship after a decent job with the Nokia 8.1.

Rumoured to get a big design overhaul and the Snapdragon 855, which has him more interested in a Sony phone than he has been for a while.

Very powerful on paper and cheap, but big, short on features, likely weak camera and probably pricier outside China, so he is cautiously op…

Expected top-tier 5G model that might need a Qualcomm chip or be US-only, since the Exynos lacks built-in 5G.

A proper flagship that is worth the money, with cameras and charging a step behind the Pro but excellent performance and battery.

An odd-looking phone with a very good HDR screen and a much improved camera.

Mentioned as an aside with Super VOOC, one of the fastest charging phones in the world.

Rumoured five cameras are exciting, but he warns to temper expectations after the disappointing G7.

Part of a car-branded phone trend he thinks fills a worthwhile niche for a better all-round experience than a standard flagship.

Arun switched to it as his daily phone and thinks it could be the best phone you can buy for the right user, despite a mediocre camera and…

The weakest camera of the five, with poor dynamic range and no portrait mode, though it has the best super slow-motion and sharpest detail…

Won the test with Touch ID that guides your hand into place and unlocks very quickly, which impressed him.

Second place: controversial screen issues, but great software and his main device for weeks.

He says the Galaxy S8 Plus is an excellent buy right now and a better choice than the Galaxy S9 Plus.
