The RedMagic 8 Pro continues to strengthen the phone maker’s reputation for power and gaming features. But Red Magic really needs to sort out the software and photography experience with its phones.

The Nord N300 makes too many compromises

A small Android update that puts the focus on stability and privacy

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 delivers a more durable design than before, S Pen support and better multitasking features, but the battery life and price could be better.

If you need a midrange phone with a display and photo focus, the Honor 70 could fit the bill, if you don’t mind the lack of performance oomph.

The Nothing Phone (1) is decidedly mid-range, but that’s just fine

The Motorola Edge 2022 enters a very competitive market for midrange phones under $500. And while it does a few things well enough, Motorola’s phone can’t outshine less expensive devices.

The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is here and at $999 it’s the most affordable phone yet. You get a bigger cover display, enhanced durability and better performance. But the battery life is bad.

An utterly average Android device that shines at the right price.

The OnePlus 10T is a different kind of flagship from OnePlus. It delivers meaty performance, but not much more than that.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 delivers better cameras, faster performance and a sleeker design for a lower price, but there's some trade-offs.

The Galaxy S20 FE packs all the best features of the Galaxy S20 into a more affordable package, but there are some trade-offs if you get this phone.

The OnePlus 9 Pro is peak OnePlus. It’s a big, beautiful, and powerful phone that does just about everything right.

Android 12 is a metamorphosis that focuses on customization and privacy

MMGuardian has tons of features, but it's undermined by a terrible user interface.

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra is a beast of a phone with a 6.9-inch 120Hz display, a 108MP camera with super-long zoom and 5G standard, but its hard to justify the price tag.

The Microsoft Surface Duo feels truly innovative, but its myriad software inconsistencies, outdated hardware and subpar camera — all for an exorbitant price — betray its inspired design.

Though not exactly portable, the Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 is a long-lasting Android tablet that's great for watching movies, playing games, and doing creative work.

The Vivo x60 Pro, the phone maker’s most fully-featured flagship, brings back a unique miniature camera gimbal that stands out among other hit-and-miss features.
