Verdict By itself, the Samsung Galaxy S23 FE looks like a tempting option with flagship S23 DNA and the right compromises to fit its £599/$599 price tag – but with the regular Galaxy S23 already dipping beneath the FE’s RRP, it seems like it’s too little too late for Samsung’s premium mid-ranger.

Verdict Privacy is something that is hard to put a price on, but the Volla Phone 22 tries. It offers the opportunity to keep your data out of the hands of Google, but with a usability trade-off. That this trade-off isn’t as steep as might be expected is a big triumph. But for better cameras, […]

It fixes the big complaints with the original while offering performance similar to that of flagships that cost much more. It also looks pretty cool with Nothing’s signature transparent LED-infused rear. Pros Unique LED-laden design High-end 6.7-inch OLED display Snappy […]

The Nokia G21 is a smartphone with a few big weaknesses and only really its good endurance in its favour. The display has a high refresh rate but poor brightness and low resolution, its processor struggles to keep up, and its camera produces poor results. Pros Great battery life Long software updates Sturdy build quality […]
The Mate Xs 2 looks almost identical to the original Mate Xs at a glance.
