If, like most people, you just want the longest-lasting phone possible, the OnePlus 15 might be the best option for you.
For those of you in the UK and wider Europe, where Oppo actually sells its phones, you should absolutely consider the Find X9 Pro. Its camera is great, its battery life is among the best around, plus its processor is powerful enough for pretty much anything you’d want from it.
With the iPhone 17 Pro and 70 Pro Max, Apple has taken what is arguably some of the best cameras you can get on a phone and made them even better.
The Hasselblad X2D II 100C is one of the most accomplished stills cameras you can buy today.
Calling the Phone 3 its first “true flagship” is a risky strategy and one that I don’t feel has paid off here.
If you’re all about having a sleek device with the option of a bigger screen, and a solid camera is one of your top priorities, the Z Fold 7 could be the right fit for you.
It’s odd that I can say something like “This is the best all-around 360 camera I’ve used” and still be somewhat reserved in my actual recommendation of it. Don’t get me wrong, that is a true statement.
[N]either the GR III nor any other camera right now has the X Half’s “fun” factor.
While its high price means this isn’t a drone for those of you simply wanting to add some aerial excitement to your TikToks, the Mavic 4 Pro is a superb option for video professionals who want to add some truly cinematic drone footage to their image-making arsenal.
It's got the power and the looks, but disappointing cameras and battery life mean this $900 phone is lacking.
The Hasselblad 907X is my Ferrari. A dream item built for one thing only: the love of photography.
I've taken a lot of great photos with this, in fact some really good ones, but I have so much more fun taking photos with the Fujifilm X100.
Unless you can get the Pixel 8 for $500 or less at a discount, the Pixel 8A is probably the best choice for Android fans that want to stay well below the $1,000 mark.
By shooting both JPEG and raw, I can capture the original black-and-white JPEG and still have the raw file, which can be turned back to color if I want to as raw files retain that color information.
At $1,300, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is hard to recommend unless you really want a giant screen, a camera with a wide range of zoom options and the S Pen. These are the features that truly distinguish Samsung’s high-end phone from the less expensive Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24 Plus.
The OnePlus 12 has plenty to justify its lofty price tag. It’s extremely powerful, its battery life is superb, and the vibrant, bright screen makes your games and videos pop.
Basically, GoPro continues to pump up the features for pros and enthusiasts. But the Hero 12 Black still adds some new options that’ll appeal to any user.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 further proves that phone-makers are getting closer to answering the question of why foldable phones are useful in the first place. The new cover screen goes a long way in reaching that goal.
Samsung brings incremental improvements to a unique phone that unfolds into an amazing tablet.
Google gets a lot right with its first foldable phone.
The Pixel 7A feels like the best value for Pixel fans right now. While you miss out on certain Pixel 7 extras, like battery share, the camera’s Action Pan mode, a larger screen and slightly faster charging, none of those omissions feels like a deal-breaker.
The Vivo X90 Pro is a solid Android phone — you can’t really go wrong with its dependable cameras, fast performance and that sweet fast charging. But since we don’t have a price just yet for international markets, it’s hard to say whether it’s a good buy in terms of value.
[...] I've been pretty impressed with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
