Everything I've tested.

The best digital frame he has seen, updating automatically from a Google Photos album.

Chosen as the discreet smart home hub controlling the room via Alexa routines.

Fast, foldable 25W wireless chargers that work with magnetic and non-magnetic phones.

Impressed by the set, especially headphones that take over the TV audio with a button hold.

A case with an AirTag slot to stop the Apple TV remote going missing.

Motorised rails respond to a tug and are Wi-Fi connected for automation.

Winner of the grandma's choice award for simple software, helpful tutorials, no bloatware and a forgiving camera.

Best one-handed compact phone with a rear second screen and extraordinary battery life, though the screen brings few big features.

Won the outside-the-box award; the huge 10-inch inner display made him want to switch from his iPhone despite the bulk.

Winner of the budget category and the best value option, with Nothing polish, minimal bloatware and a modular design.

A safe pick for less techy users with readable screens, big batteries, durability and Easy Mode.

A very strong flagship with huge battery life and excellent cameras, and a rear screen that is more useful than he expected, though not all…

Adds 100x AI zoom and better portrait resolution, but the cameras are basically the Pixel 9 Pro's and 128GB is stingy at $999.

A lovely, light and thin phone, but he would be nervous recommending it because of the small battery, the case dilemma and the Ultra-level…

A good but not spectacular update, held up by a much better cover screen and a thinner body at the same price.

Great flip phone with a bigger battery and slightly better camera specs, but ranked just behind Samsung's.

The e-ink display saves power and eye strain, but slow refresh makes apps painful and modern batteries reduce the benefit.

The spec-maxing choice under $300, with a good main camera, bright screen and 6,000 mAh battery.

Best camera phone of the year, which he preferred over a real camera on holiday, but its battery is held back in Europe.

Very well rounded, but the competition was too strong for it to win.

The most stacked Realme ever, with dual-cell 7,000 mAh battery and swappable camera module, at around $750.

Best gaming phone thanks to active liquid cooling and a reasonable price, though the cameras are cut back.

Very well rounded, but the competition was too strong for it to win.

Rated slightly above Motorola's Razr for being thinner, lighter and taking better photos.
