Until recently, Nothing had only launched two smartphones, and never has there been so much fuss over Nothing in the mobile industry. The Nothing Phone (1) and Nothing Phone (2) were both hyped more than any other new mobile phone in living memory, and the interest from our readers was palpable. But in the shops, …
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra isn’t the phone that most people buy, but we’ve chosen to take a closer look at it as it’s the absolute flagship of the series. Like last – and the previous – year’s Ultra model, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is still a Samsung Galaxy Note in disguise. Ergo, it comes …
The idea is a no-brainer: a pocket and wallet-friendly compact version of the top model – but with just as much power in all key areas. The Google Pixel 8 we’re testing here is built on the same platform as the Google Pixel 8 Pro, which we recently recognised as the high-end smartphone of the …
At the beginning of the year, Chinese company Xiaomi came out with a new top mobile phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor and a camera developed in collaboration with Leica. The Xiaomi 13 Pro had a lot to offer, but the price was high and compared to other smartphones in the same price …
After this year’s big Apple event, the launch of the new iPhone models in September, we had mixed feelings. It felt like the base models got many of last year’s Pro features, such as the bright display and Dynamic Island, as well as the 48MP camera. Whereas the Pro models merely got a new processor …
Earlier this year, we reviewed the Xiaomi 12 Pro, which we called Xiaomi’s first true flagship. It featured Qualcomm’s then-fastest mobile processor, a bright, high-resolution screen and a sleek, almost Scandinavian design. The price was accordingly, for the Xiaomi 12 Pro was also the most expensive smartphone so far from the Chinese manufacturer. However, it …
We’ve called Motorola the ‘King of the Middle Class’ so many times, it’s getting embarrassing. It’s time to find a new way to phrase it. Because of course we’re counting on Chinese-owned Motorola to keep launching affordable, high-quality smartphones. Like the so-called Edge series, of which this year alone we’ve tested two phones – the …
Although the form factor is virtually identical to an iPhone 13, or iPhone 12 for that matter, the iPhone 14 has received enough upgrades that it can be called a new model. But not much more than that, either. At the same time, the price has gone up – by so much that it can …
After a few years of struggles, Samsung finally hit the mark last year with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 foldable smartphone. Whether you’re a fan of the concept or not, you have to tip your hat to the Korean electronics giant for making the foldable format work. The foldable hybrid of a smartphone and a …
In keeping with tradition, Sony is also launching a compact version of their latest flagship phone, the Sony Xperia 1 IV. And just like last year, the compact Sony Xperia 5 IV is very similar to its big brother, but downgraded on a few points so that the price is also easier to swallow. However, …
Sony is unlikely to challenge Apple or Samsung as the preferred mobile brand. Smartphones are by far the biggest product category in the electronics market (most of us carry a mobile phone in our pocket), and Sony is well positioned to attract consumers in droves with its gigantic ecosystem of content, products and technologies. That …
Slowly but surely, Motorola is carving out a place for itself among the mobile manufacturers to be taken seriously. Also when it comes to the absolute top models. Last year’s Motorola Edge 20 Pro was certainly a good phone, combining a sharp price with impressive performance. Still, Motorola didn’t come close to the absolute Android …
Well, what can I say? OnePlus has launched a new phone at the cheap end of the mid-range, and it’s quite nice. Don’t get me wrong. I have been and still am excited about the entire Nord series that OnePlus introduced in the middle of the 2020 corona year, but in my review of the …
Heavy processing is one of the reasons you can get very good image quality from the tiny cameras on the back of mobile phones. But as we often see in our tests, there are limits to how much advanced image processing can correct. Very small image sensors have incredibly small pixels, and although records are …
Actually, I did not intend to test the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 at all, which is why we are somewhat late with this test. When Samsung launched the two new foldable smartphones Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 this summer, I judged that it was most important to focus on the …
