Clean, manageable design ; Excellent performance for the money ; Strong battery life

Red Magic OS still needs work ; Camera is nothing to write home about ; Terrible selfies

The Nubia Red Magic 10 Air is a smart repurposing job that takes last year's Pro gaming phone and repackages it into a leaner, more appealing, and more affordable body. The result is one of the most accessible and inviting gaming phones on the market...

Amazing battery life ; Extremely lightweight ; Stunning screen

Not very many ports ; On the pricey side ; Definitely not a pro level device

A great portable laptop with enough battery to last you days at a time, perfect for those who are looking to commute often. You also get a stunning OLED screen which is lovely to watch movies and videos on.

Good-looking display ; Lots of power for price ; Huge battery

Mediocre cameras ; Full of bloatware ; Some features missing at launch

The Poco X7 Pro ticks all the boxes that a cheap phone should do and then exceeds them. Compared to the competition, it's more powerful for gaming, its display is higher-res and brighter, and its battery is bigger. It’s not going to impress camera...

Unified design that doesn't skimp on Ultra appeal ; Biggest screen of the lineup ; Powerful AI ; Excellent battery life

Generative AI doesn't always deliver ; Samsung still shies away from total photo-reality

The Samsung S25 Ultra deftly manages to meld the consistent Galaxy S series aesthetic with all that made previous Ultras notable, including the S Pen. But this phone is also distinctly different to all previous Ultras, thanks to deep and richly...

More than just a bigger Galaxy S25 ; Sharp display is bright under any condition ; Nice color options, especially if you like blue

Looks just like last year’s phone, and the one before that ; Cameras haven’t improved since 2023 ; Software features fail to deliver on AI promises

The Galaxy S25 Plus is the successful middle child, with the longevity of its big Ultra sibling and the affordability of the Galaxy S25. It's powerful, with a fantastic display and the best battery life on any Samsung phone, plus you can get it in...

Robust ; Decent battery life ; Camping light ; Special reverse charging cable included

Large and heavy ; Poor SoC performance ; Only 4G

I’m not sure who this phone is meant to attract. It has a massive battery and a useful flashlight. Beyond those high points, it has a low-specification SoC and an average camera, and it doesn’t support 5G. I don’t get the concept of a phone to charge...

Impressive battery life ; Speedy performance ; Great camera hardware ; Loud, bassy speakers

No charger or case included ; Image processing is hit-and-miss ; Divisive software

The Honor Magic 7 Pro is an outstanding phone that impresses in almost every area. The screen is one of the best around, the performance is exceptional, and the battery lasts longer and charges faster than most. The cameras are amazing at times, but...

Genuine two-day battery life ; Big, bright, bold display ; Excellent gaming performance

Size is tricky for smaller hands ; Only splash-resistant, can’t be dunked in water ; No wireless charging

The OnePlus 13R delivers in three big ways. First, the sizable 6.78-inch display is bright and colorful, which results in a great viewing experience. Next is the massive 6,000mAh battery – that gets you two days on a single charge. Finally, the 13R...

Durable design can handle the heat and (water) pressure ; Great action mode on the camera takes amazing high speed shots ; Best battery life on any phone I’ve used

Can’t get one free with a carrier agreement ; Cameras aren’t quite as good as the absolute best, but close ; Needs a case to take advantage of MagSafe compatibility

The OnePlus 13 aims higher than ever for OnePlus and it hits the mark. It’s beautiful to hold, pleasing to use, and it performs better than any other smartphone you can buy right now. My old complaints have been pounded into silence by an amazingly...
