Compact phone that outlasted the larger iPhone XS Max by around 45 minutes, a noticeable real-world gap.

Solidly specced, but its headline features are gimmicky and you can do better for the money.

A niche phone with a small screen and physical keyboard that most people would be better off without.

A flagship-level experience for about half the price, with sensible compromises on camera, speaker and extras.

An older flagship that is a bargain at around $200 to $250, with a great screen, strong performance and a good camera, though audio and the…

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.

Shown with its slower 10W charger and the first fingerprint scanner in the home button.

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

Thinks its design was well ahead of its time and would still consider buying into that form factor.

Interesting free-to-use mesh network concept, but he is sceptical it will gain traction and sees an average $400 phone otherwise.

A OnePlus 6T-inspired budget phone with a big battery, NFC and a headphone jack that he thinks looks like crazy value, though it feels plas…

A huge 7.12-inch phone with a 6,000mAh battery and 30W charging that he found surprisingly likeable, but it is not a true flagship despite…

Well-built mid-range phone that looks as good as flagships and is good value at $299.

Upcoming flexible-screen phone he could not try, though he calls it quite a serious phone on paper.

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.

Hyped $200 phone whose Snapdragon 660 gets crushed by the OnePlus 5's 835 chip.

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.

A well-priced gaming phone that gives most of the performance of pricier rivals, with compromises on camera and screen.

Charming, compact hardware he genuinely enjoyed, but dated software and a badly degraded battery make it unusable as a 2019 daily phone.

Marques likes the idea of a revived RAZR flip phone with a folding screen, but says the tech is nowhere near ready.

Expected to be an early foldable that will not be an instant hit and could cost around $1700.

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