Phones Reviews

Easily the largest mobile telephone service provider in Australia, Telstra offers excellent coverage but middling value.

Samsung's cheaper phones continue to offer great value with more of a premium design, but it can't hide the fact that there aren't many meaningful upgrades this year.

There's a lot to love about the Nothing Phone 4a Pro, like strong cameras and battery life, but I wish Nothing hadn't made such radical changes to its appearance.

I tested the Pebblebee Halo for nearly a month and it's the best GPS tracker I've come across since it includes a live alert service for emergency situations.

Squeezed in the middle of the almighty Ultra and the compact base model, the Galaxy S26 Plus struggles to find a niche.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 gains a larger display, battery, upgraded Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, and more Galaxy AI features — but it also costs $100 more.

The Apple iPhone 17e gains new upgrades like an A19 chip, double the storage at 256GB, Ceramic Shield 2 cover, and MagSafe connectivity to make it a worthier affordable phone.

Hey, Apple — you have some work to do

The Google Pixel 10a has the smallest hardware upgrades in any new phone, but it does prioritize the software to make it even more feature rich — and the price can't be beat.

The Apple AirTag 2 shares the same cost and design as the original, but benefits from a second-gen Ultra Wideband chip for better Precision Finding accuracy.
