Won the battery test with 8h41m, a very good score, but only level with last year's Snapdragon Note 20 Ultra.

After over a month with it, he found the ROG Phone impractical, with a barely overclocked chip and expensive accessories.

The pinnacle of smartphone photography in many ways, but let down by poor availability.

The first Google-made phone with HDR+ was a leap in computational photography, though sales started slowly.

Given as an example of great-value budget Android phones.

Cited as the eco-conscious Android end of the spectrum.

His foldable pick, ahead on software for the extra screen space and the only one globally available.

Named smartphone of the year 2021 and best mid-range phone, praised as a delightful phone with a great camera at a very good price.

A solid refinement of the Mi 11 that lasted 7 hours 34 minutes despite having the smallest battery of the Androids.

Named the worst phone: dated camera and chipset and no Google Play Store at £1,100, so it makes no sense to buy.

Wins his design award for its hardware, but its software, especially the camera, trails rivals.

The other Android all-rounder winner: slightly weaker camera and screen than the S22 Ultra, but cheaper, with ceramic build and a charger i…

Mentioned as the current model that the coming 12 Ultra should be a big step up from.

Supposedly has the best camera system on a foldable, but one to watch rather than buy.

A worthwhile, slightly more camera-focused alternative to the Poco.

Flagship power for about $600 with retractable triggers and very fast charging.

More powerful again, with an internal fan and under-display selfie camera, and now an easy recommendation as the software improves.

The most eco-conscious phone, highly repairable with a five-year warranty and an e-waste recycling promise.

A thoughtful, media-focused flagship with a great 4K screen and speakers, but weaker camera processing, battery and software support than S…

Slow to charge with the bundled 5W charger, taking 3 hours 6 minutes, and fast charging does not rescue it.

Fourth in the test, but strong for a 120Hz phone and could top the table at 60Hz.

Excellent spec-heavy flagship with a standout display and very fast charging, with some camera software and battery questions still to sett…

Far better cameras than the Redmi Note 11 Pro+, though his first unit arrived dead.

Generous box with a case and 65W charger, but plastic build and mid-range limits.
