Everything I've tested.

Best budget phone of 2021, shockingly well-rounded for about 250.

A slim, affordable phone with a fun finish that plays tricks with light.

Best gaming phone of 2021, avoiding the Red Magic's software issues while nearly matching the Asus on performance.

Feels like a 700 phone for 400, but reports of exploding units make him hold off recommending it.

Realme's highest-end phone, stacked with specs for 500, though specs are not everything.

Crowned ugliest phone of the year for its chaotic alphabet-covered design.

Just-announced budget phone given an honourable mention.

The most extreme gaming phone, topping a flagship in almost every spec, but it costs 1500.

Standout design with an even, uninterrupted screen thanks to a decent in-display selfie camera.

Ridiculous value at 500 with powerful hardware, but the phones feel rushed with half-baked software.

Honourable mention in the budget category as one of two pretty special phones.

More capable than he expected and tracks as much as a smartwatch, but the new subscription is a downside.

Paper plane with app-controlled propellers that took 15 minutes to build and was hard to control, ending with a lost plane.

Tiny working handheld with an OLED screen that was cooler than he expected.

Mouse with a built-in fan that is silent but weaker than he expected.

Clean, slick charging system with a self-reinforcing loop that is almost idiot proof.

Open-ear design that stays put, sounds nice and lasts 12 to 16 hours, but he is unsure about the looks and there is no noise cancelling.

Cheap and effective fix for frayed cables that seals, insulates and waterproofs.

Magnetic levitating bulb with a wireless charging base that he loved enough to keep set up permanently.

Swinging the tray with four hot teas did not spill a drop.

Folding seven-display laptop he has not yet used but calls completely next level.

Metal speaker with surprisingly good bass for its size, though he doubts the audiophile claim.

Turns an ordinary laptop into a triple-screen setup using just two USB cables, and he ranked it number one.

Speaker shower head he thought was a poor idea, with a weak magnet and an incident that scarred him.
