OnePlus 8 Pro Review: Everything you want
The OnePlus 8 Pro has everything you want from a phone, from a stunning screen to wireless charging and water resistance. There's only one thing you won't want.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus review: The one you want
The Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus is a safe bet if you want a great Android phone. It gets just about everything right, and with 5G, it's ready for the future too.
Huawei Mate Xs folding phone review: Flawed marvel
The Huawei Mate Xs is the closest we've got to a true foldable smartphone that becomes a tablet when you want. It's an engineering marvel, but it's also flawed.
LG V60 ThinQ 5G Dual Screen review: Not quite a flagship
The LG V60 ThinQ isn't as expensive as the competition, but it performs well and offers excellent multitasking features. However, there are some trade-offs.
Nokia 4.2 review
The Nokia 4.2 has good battery life, uncluttered Android One software that delivers fast updates, and a design and build that doesn’t match its $189 price tag. But the processor throws all these merits under the bus. That, along with the Micro USB port, make for a phone that’s tough to recommend.
Google Pixel 3 review
Google’s Pixel 3 smartphone is the best Android phone you can buy. It doesn’t have the best looks or the most cutting edge features, but you’ll be hard pressed to find better software and unique A.I. functionalities.
iPhone 11 Pro review: The best camera on the best phone
The iPhone 11 Pro is the best phone money can buy right now. A beefier battery and new triple-camera system with Night mode set the bar for smartphone cameras, and help put the 11 Pro at the top of the pack. But Google's Pixel 4 is right around the corner, and it could steal the camera throne back.
Apple iPhone 11 review: The iPhone for all
The iPhone 11 succeeds the iPhone XR, yet it's even more affordable at $699. Is it worth saving $300 by going for it over the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max? For most people, yes. The upgrades include a second ultra-wide-angle lens, Night mode for the camera, and slightly better battery life.
Google Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL review
The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are Google’s latest phones, and their key selling point is that they bring the same exact software and camera experience from the Pixel 3 and 3 XL to a much lower price point -- $399 and $479, respectively. You also get great performance and battery life.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 Plus Review: Renaissance Phone
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 Plus is here, and it’s the biggest and best Samsung phone ever. Its key feature is its looks, as it has an attractive rear design, highlighted by the new Aura Glow color, but little else has changed. Read our Note 10 Plus review for our in-depth thoughts on Samsung's latest.
iPhone 11 Pro Max review: Turning everything up to max
The iPhone 11 Pro Max is for big-screen enthusiasts, but it's also undeniably the best smartphone you can buy at the moment. It excels at almost everything, from incredible battery life and a fantastic screen to powerful performance and class-leading cameras. This is the iPhone to splurge on.
Samsung Galaxy A50 review: Value flagship
The Samsung Galaxy A50 has a beefy battery, a big screen, a slick software experience, and solid performance. At just $350, it’s an exceptional phone -- but it faces stiff competition from the likes of Google’s Pixel 3a. Here’s our Galaxy A50 review.
Light Phone 2 review: Not the cure for smartphone addiction
Is your smartphone use out of control? Looking for a break? The Light Phone 2 is a basic phone that promises exactly that. Its 4G connectivity means you can place calls and send texts, and you can also set an alarm. More tools like ridesharing apps are on the way, but all of this comes at a high price.
Samsung Galaxy Fold review: Wait for the next generation
Samsung's Galaxy Fold is the company's first foldable smartphone. It boasts two screens, six cameras, and a dual-cell battery. The phone was delayed due to display issues, but Samsung has fixed all its problems, and it's now available. Here's what it's like to use a foldable smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus review: The details matter
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 Plus has anything and everything you’d want in a smartphone. From a gorgeous HDR10+ screen that you can’t stop looking at, to an in-display fingerprint sensor that actually works, it’s awesome. But is it worth $1,000? Read our full Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus review to find out.
Samsung Galaxy S10e review
Samsung’s Galaxy S10e is meant to be the attractive and affordable phone compared to the rest of the S10 and S10 Plus lineup.
LG G8X ThinQ Dual Screen review
Don't call the LG G8X ThinQ a folding smartphone. It's not one of those mega-expensive devices, and it actually has three screens and not two. What is it, then? It's a quirky device for serious multi-tasking. However, like folding smartphones, you're going to have to make some compromises.
OnePlus 7T review: Simple, excellent, and no messing around
The OnePlus 7T doesn't want any drama. It's simple in the best way -- it does everything you want it to, without making life complicated. The screen imports the OnePlus 7 Pro's excellent 90Hz refresh rate, the camera is capable, and the battery charges in an incredibly short period of time. Here's our review.
Google Pixel 4 review: Smooth, but lacking stamina
The Google Pixel 4 is a slick, smooth, charmer of a smartphone, but it may run out of steam before you do. In this Pixel 4 review, you'll find a deep dive into the new software tricks, air gestures, and the wonderful camera, but there are flaws here in the design and the battery life.
Nokia 7.2 review: Nokia aims high but misses the mark
HMD Global's latest phone in the U.S. is the Nokia 7.2, and not only does it look sophisticated, but it also has some killer camera specs. There's a 48-megapixel camera, along with a wide-angle and depth-sensing lens. But can it dethrone the Google Pixel 3a, which remains the best camera on a phone under $400?
Sony Xperia 1 review: One for the fans
Sony’s Xperia 1 smartphone is svelte, tall, modern, and powerful. The 21:9 aspect ratio means you get a cinematic viewing experience. It’s too bad there are several other shortcomings, such as a lackluster camera, unimpressive battery life, and far too high of a price tag. Here’s our Xperia 1 review.
OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition hands-on review: A looker
Sure to become the most desirable, and certainly the rarest, of all the new OnePlus 7T series phones, the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition has a key design feature that's unexpected to say the least. It makes this high performance phone standout, and even more of a conversation piece than expected.
OnePlus 7T Pro review: A real beauty, inside and out
Sleeker, more stylish, and with some tempting tech upgrades, the OnePlus 7T Pro is everything the OnePlus 7T is and then a little bit more. There's a slightly bigger battery inside along with 3x optical zoom in the camera. But is that enough to recommend you pay more for it?
Motorola One Zoom review: Four times the photography fun
With an incredibly versatile quad-lens camera, stamina for days, and a snazzy purple finish, the Motorola One Zoom is a midrange marvel at $450. But there has to be a compromise somewhere, right? Find out how well it performs in the wild as I put it through its paces in this Motorola One Zoom review.
Asus ROG Phone 2 review: The power to change your game
Asus is on a roll in 2019, having started out with the Zenfone 6 -- a welcome surprise and a great phone -- and now the ROG Phone 2. This gaming smartphone is a performance powerhouse, from the processor to the battery, and the stunning screen is a joy.
Huawei Mate 30 Pro hands-on review: Tempting and talented, but sadly stifled
The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is what we've come to expect from Huawei, a highly capable camera-orientated smartphone with a stunning screen and some interesting (and sometimes unsuccessful) additional features. But this time it doesn't have Google apps or services. How has this affected the phone?
Huawei Mate X hands-on review: The future in our hands
Want to see into the future? Here it is: The Huawei Mate X. Despite a longer than expected wait for its final arrival, it's almost ready to go on sale, and it's still as exciting as before. The frightening price tag hasn't changed, and there are new concerns over the software, but we still want one.
Moto Z3 review
Motorola’s flagship smartphone of 2018 looks exactly like its mid-range smartphone of 2018, and it’s powered by a processor from 2017. It may sound odd, but this $480 Verizon-exclusive device is a strong performer, and will be the first upgradable 5G smartphone next year.
Sony Xperia 5 hands-on review: Compact, colorful, but not quite a winner
Is Sony's Xperia 5 a true successor to the much-loved and now mostly deceased Compact series of Sony phones that packed winning specs into a smaller, more easy to handle body? Almost. It certainly wins on the design, style, colors, and size; but there are concerns over the camera and a true reason to buy.
ZTE Axon 10 Pro review: Great performance for $549
The ZTE Axon 10 Pro is the Chinese company's first flagship phone to make it to the U.S. in two years, after the U.S. ban that lifted in 2018. It doesn't support 5G, but it does bring killer specifications at an affordable $549 price point, giving OnePlus and the OnePlus 7 Pro a run for its money.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Review: The Note for everyone else
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 is one of two phones launched at Unpacked 2019, alongside the Note 10 Plus. Of the two, this one is smaller, has only one storage option (and no MicroSD slot), as well as a smaller battery. But it’s still has a lot going for it, including its beautiful sleek design.
Motorola One Action hands-on review
Motorola’s latest phone is called the Motorola One Action, and it wants to end vertical videos once and for all. The unique action camera lets you film in portrait orientation, but you still get landscape video footage. Sadly, in the U.S. this phone won’t be a part of the Android One program.
Huawei Mate 20 X 5G hands-on review
The Mate 20 X 5G is Huawei’s first mainstream 5G endeavour, and it hasn’t been subtle, as this is a super-sized, super-fast phone that is more tablet than phablet. However, the great design means it’s never ungainly, and the 5G speeds it can achieve are what we want from the next generation mobile network.
Moto E6 hands-on review
Motorola’s latest is the Moto E6, its most affordable phone this year, and a follow-up to the Moto E5 series from 2018. The Moto E6 is unremarkable. It doesn’t have many features worth talking about. Why? Motorola says it focused on improving the fundamentals.
