1) iPhone 13 Pro – Best iPhone
The iPhone still leads when it comes to video capture, gaining some smart new features like Cinematography Mode, granting greater control over how your footage looks in the moment.
2) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra – Best Android phone
The design is distinctly different from the other entries in the Galaxy S22 range (which is to say very ‘Note-like’) and features an integrated S Pen stylus that expands functionality beyond most rivals, especially in terms of productivity.
3) iPhone 13 – Superb all-rounder
iOS 15 is an excellent improvement on Apple’s already well-respected mobile operating system out of the box; adding wellbeing features like notification summary, that ensure you’re not constantly distracted by your device.
4) Google Pixel 6 Pro – Best user experience
Despite dropping the ‘Pixel XL’ naming convention, the 6 Pro is an undeniably sizeable phone, with a stunning QHD+ curved-edge OLED display that – for the first time in the series – makes the move to a higher, smoother 120Hz refresh rate (just like the iPhone 13 Pro range).
5) Oppo Find X5 Pro – Superb cameras
e Find X5 Pro is also hard to beat, with all of the above, plus a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 256GB storage and 12GB RAM. You just have to be willing to pay the price, as it doesn’t come cheap.
6) OnePlus 10 Pro – Outstanding battery life
With a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and speedy 80W wired charging the 10 Pro has core specs to match anything its rivals offer, and we’re broadly fans of the slick design too – though not everyone is.
7) Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 – Best foldable
The Z Flip 3 is a beautiful expression of the evolution of foldable smartphone tech and somehow manages to incorporate water resistance into its design as well. improved every aspect – from design to performance – and then made it cheaper too!
8) Red Magic 7 – Best for gaming
The stunning 165Hz display endures from the last few Red Magic flagships, while also continuing to outpace mainstream rivals – making it ideal for gaming – and Nubia’s finally addressed camera performance too, which is better than it’s ever been.
9) OnePlus Nord 2T – Best mid-ranger
The Nord 2 misses out on flagship niceties – like wireless charging and waterproofing – but those are really the only compromises made here. Software support is only two years of Android updates and three years of security updates – Samsung, Google, and Apple promise more.
10) Xiaomi 12 Pro – Great for multimedia
There’s a beautiful display paired with a quad-speaker setup and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip delivers impressive performance. For the most part, the camera system is great too, not quite best-in-class but good.
