Verdict The Nokia C32 has almost everything you really need. As a spare work phone, cloud gaming device, or the first smartphone for a kid or elderly family member, it’s more than enough, and a real sign of how quickly yesterday’s flagship features can trickle down in cost. It may be slow at times, but […]
Verdict The design looks a bit dated, but the Pixel 8 otherwise represents a great buy with impressive camera performance, unique AI-infused features and all-day battery life that make it a joy to use. Pros Impressive camera performance with unique AI features Solid 6.2-inch OLED display All-day battery life 7 years of OS upgrades Cons […]
Verdict If you like the spacious screen found on the Tab S9 Ultra but want the portability of the Tab S9, the Tab S9 Plus is the obvious compromise. The AMOLED display is bright and vibrant, making it fantastic for streaming TV shows and movies, and the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy means it […]
Verdict The Onyx Boox Tab Ultra C is an impressively constructed jack of all trades, offering a large, colourful canvas for reading alongside a sharp note-taking facility. However, for web browsing, media playback, and pretty much any other function, you’re still better off with a regular smart device or laptop. Pros Premium build Access to […]
Verdict There are upgrades across the board for the iPhone 15 – even if we’ve seen them on other iPhone models before.

It’s also just an Apple Watch power user’s dream, and offers all the latest gesture features, a gorgeous titanium build and, finally, an end to battery anxiety. For true adventurers and athletes Garmin still rules, […]
Verdict The Oppo Reno 10 hits all of the marks for an acceptable mid-range smartphone experience. Its display, performance, stamina, design, and camera all fall somewhere between ‘good’ and ‘good enough’. Other than its rapid charging and a dedicated telephoto camera, however, it doesn’t really stand out in a particularly competitive field. Pros Strong stamina […]
Verdict Even with a top-notch screen at an attractive aspect ratio, the Xperia 10 V forgets what is keeping other budget phones in our hands years after purchase. This is one that feels sluggish out of the box, with its old trick of relying on its camera not really carrying the weight in the face […]
Verdict The Xiaomi 13T Pro is a smartphone that looks and feels the part, and capable hardware, including a 144Hz AMOLED display, triple camera system and 120W fast charging tech that further bolsters that experience. However, as with most Xiaomi devices, it’s let down by EMUI 14, offering a rather frustrating flavour of the Android […]
