Apple iPhone Duo 9/10
The iPhone Duo is a genuinely impressive first attempt at a foldable iPhone - with the best internal display in the category, great battery life, and a portrait mode experience that's unlike anything else.

The OPPO Find X10 Pro Max is an exceptional flagship that once again raises the bar for smartphone photography. Three 200MP cameras, a colossal battery, and a genuinely impressive teleconverter kit make it one of the most ambitious Android phones money can buy.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max don't feel that different from the previous generation. They don't feel very different from the generation 2 years ago, but they are the best iPhone Apple has ever made.
If you’re after a flagship with a great design, build quality, camera performance, display, and operating system experience (not to mention AI gubbins, at which Google remains one of the best), it’s hard not to recommend the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is one of the most exciting phones in years — its passport-sized form factor feels fresh, the battery impresses, and the internal display is genuinely useful.
Buy the 17T Pro if you want a flagship-feeling phone with a long-reach telephoto, the biggest battery in the category, and you’re not bothered about a 219g phone in your pocket.
The camera system, guys, on this phone is the best smartphone camera system I've ever used.
In terms of the camera system, guys, I've got lots more testing to do, which is on the way, but it's very, very good and it's flagship worthy.
If you're not up for Oppo, if you're not up for Vivo, if you don't want a Samsung device and if you hate the thought of having an iPhone, this is a very good way to start the year.
For me, the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is still the most likable foldable on the market, and what more do you need?
For the price, it is incredibly impressive. Honor keeps driving down the cost of smartphones, and they don't do anything to the quality to make you feel like you're being short changed.
We are clearly in the era of Galaxy AI; the S24 series does enough to add weight to Samsung’s lofty claim.
[T]he Z Fold4 is a fast, handsome smartphone. Powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, it never feels pegged back (vitally important for this kind of device) and looks every bit a premium smartphone.
I think it's quite simple actually: if you want the absolute best Android experience without any compromises, just get yourself the Pixel 7 Pro. This is an absolutely stonking phone; I love it.
I’m therefore always a little cautious when I get to try an Android phone that isn’t using the most common flagship chip. But I needn’t have worried about the Pixel, because the TensorTitan M2 is clearly up to the task.
Whenever I review a foldable smartphone, I make one thing clear: you have to *really want* *one* before dropping what is an awful lot of money on such a device.
I’m going on record with this: the Vivo X200 Pro is the best Android smartphone I’ve used in 2024.
The Pixel 9a has once again set the standard in the midrange smartphone market.
If you’re looking for a new Android smartphone in 2025, the Find X9 Pro should be right at the top of your list. It’s another masterpiece.
The OnePlus 15 is yet another extremely impressive phone that should be near the top of any new phone shopping lists; the display is immaculate, the cameras are excellent and the battery is revolutionary.
The Z Fold7 finally feels like Samsung has nailed the folding formula thanks to a much thinner design than ever and a flagship-worthy 200MP main camera. It would be nice to have more optical zoom though, and if the price could come down a bit.
If you want an Android phone that is all about the camera and you don’t mind giving up some of the weight savings of the slimmer, smaller camera-bumped alternatives, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra delivers in spades.
The Pixel 10a is basically the same phone as last year, but that doesn't make it any less of a budget powerhouse with a great camera system for the money and solid specs all round.
The Vivo V70 is yet another solid mid-range phone that exceed it’s price tag in many areas.
