Phone Reviews

It’s a real battery-power powerhouse.

It’s a super-slim phone that doesn’t compromise on battery life.

With a 7,500mAh battery, this phone killed my battery anxiety for good.

The third-gen Rotom Phone’s handy zoom and beefed-up safety features make for a solid upgrade.

Google’s latest folding phone isn’t afraid of a little sand. Ask me how I know.

There’s a price to pay for a thinner phone.

This year’s iPhone is more useful, has more storage, and starts at the same price. What’s not to like?

But most people should buy the regular iPhone 17.

A great, basic Android phone — now with magnets.

Thin is in, but the big battery is the V5’s real magic trick.

Magic Cue mostly lives up to its name.

The most repairable Fairphone yet is also the first I can easily recommend — but only if you live in Europe.

More cover screen is indisputably better.

Nothing’s ‘first true flagship’ has some stiff competition.

It’s thinner and lighter, but you’ll need some deep pockets for this foldable.

But it’s still a big phone.

This feels like a form factor that’s here to stay.

It’s gorgeous and fun to use, but is calling it Ultra a little much?

A good midrange phone that lacks mass appeal.

A phone for tariff-ying times.

It’s a much better, more powerful, still extremely minimalist smartphone. Light is getting close to nailing the formula.

A basic iPhone for unfussy people.

The thinnest foldable in the world might mark the start of diminishing returns.

There’s something very familiar about this year’s S-series phones.

Still big. Still great. But Samsung is losing the plot on what makes the Ultra so extra.

After several attempts, OnePlus made a great high-end phone.

The S24 FE feels less like a ‘Fan Edition’ and more like an exercise in retail positioning.

I’m not saying you should buy a new phone for a single camera setting... but I’m not not saying that, either.

It’s a good year for Apple’s basic iPhone, even if its AI is MIA.

The Pixel Fold’s successor features an updated format that makes it a joy to use.

The Pixel 9 is the Android flagship for anyone who just wants a dang phone.

The AI is inconsistent, but the hardware is oh so good.

It’s not the most fun, but reliability goes a long way.

Samsung’s flagship foldable is as good as ever, but it feels anything but fresh.

The bigger, better cover screen is a delight to use — but familiar problems persist.

At $499 with all the essential features, Google’s Pixel phone starts making sense.

It’s bigger for sure, but is that really better?

Time for Samsung and Google to make some room in the midrange.
