The Pixel Fold takes Google's phones in a new direction, embracing the next-gen screen tech and presenting a premium PIxel option. It's a great quality phone, but it's clear there's still work to be done on app optimisation to enhance the experience.
-
In fact, the V10 feels decidedly underpowered next to pretty much all of them, and its faults are likely to frustrate anyone who bought it expecting a major step up over a smartphone.
-
If you're looking for a video powerhouse that can slip into your pocket, we think the ZV-1 II is one of the best options around. It's a shame that so many compromises are involved, but for the most part, it's a better experience, and it's still easy to recommend.
-
If you have $2000 to spend on a full-frame mirrorless body, we think the Lumix S5II is the way to go, especially if you shoot a lot of video. No one else is offering as much for the money, it's a wonderfully well-rounded camera.
-
The Pixel 7a is a great offering in the mid-range offering performance that sits it in a competitive place.
-
We think the Mavic 3 Pro is the best consumer drone that money can buy, just like the Mavic 3 that came before it. It doesn't make the standard Mavic 3 obsolete, by any means, they are essentially the same drone, after all.
-
We've really enjoyed our time with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II, it's an impressive camera in almost every regard.
-
The Canon R7 is an extremely capable and well-priced camera but it's let down by its lack of lens options. If Canon releases some more compelling glass for the RF-S system, it'll be much easier to recommend.
-
There's no denying the appeal of the ZV-E1. Having stuffed so many of its best features into such a small body, Sony has created a super-portable powerhouse of a camera that's also - as Sony cameras go - simple to use.
-
Xiaomi's latest Pro model is a fine device, combining fantastic performance with an exceptional camera, great battery life and a stunning display.
-
The Vivo V27 Pro offers great performance and excellent photography at an affordable price point. If you take a lot of selfies, this is one that's definitely worth checking out, provided you can get your hands on one.
-
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra on face value doesn't make many changes from its predecessor.
-
The Vivo X90 Pro is an excellent phone in almost every aspect, but the camera system shines above all else. If you're into mobile photography, this is an option that shouldn't be ignored.
-
In an everyday performance sense, the OnePlus 11 5G is the most complete flagship OnePlus phone experience the company has delivered so far.
-
That's exactly what Poco has managed to do with the X5 Pro. By skimping a little on design and build, it's managed to make a phone that - in many ways - acts like a more expensive device.
-
The display is excellent and the cameras are powerful and easy to use, so there's no doubt you're getting a stunning phone if you get the Apple iPhone 14 Pro, but in the end it's those little unexpected things I found myself using it for more.
-
The Fujifilm X-T5 is an excellent camera that puts photography first. If you're a stills shooter who likes a bit of a vintage feel and a tilting screen, then this may be your perfect match.
-
The Fujifilm X-H2 is a very compelling hybrid shooter.
-
The X-H2S is one of Fujifilm's most impressive cameras to date. Huge strides in the video department make it a compelling option for hybrid shooters - particularly those with the need for speed.
-
For anyone seeking an affordable smartphone with a capable camera, the Vivo V25 Pro is well worth a look - particularly if you take a lot of selfies.
-
Seeing as the Hero 10 Black was already our favourite action camera, the Hero 11 is extremely easy to recommend.
-
At its core, the DJI Avata is a specialised filmmaking tool that excels when it comes to flying in tight spaces and around people. It won't be the right drone for everyone, but for those who need it, it's a bit of a gamechanger.
-
The OnePlus 10T is a great value phone for the money, offering high performance specifications, a great display and at least one good camera for a very reasonable price.
-
So the Google Pixel 6a is an ideal phone for someone looking for a compact and powerful device, offering great value for money with the bonus of 5 years of software support.
