Find N5 in Oppo 1,255It is a real shame that the search N5 will not land in the UK or Europe, because the world’s most thin book -style foldable (3.6 mm open) is a beautiful phone. The 6.62-inch cover display and 8.12-inch internal display are excellent, and Find N5 has a top sunset (Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, 5,600-MAH battery, 80 watt wired and 50 watt wireless charging). The triple-linis camera (50-MP man, 50-MP telephoto, 8-MP ultra-wide) is the most obvious compromise, which requires this form element. Little small software and blotware are the only ones, but the potential pain of import will be enough to prevent most people.
Xumi Poko F7 Ultra for £ 549 and F7 Pro for £ 449: Although Poko has traditionally been a budget brand, the F7 ultra is properly taken to the new area. This phone has some flagship surface properties, such as Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip Set with Vision Boost D7 for graphics, a powerful triple lens camera, and a beautiful, high resolution 6.67 -inch display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It also scores IP68 rating and offers up to 50 wires wireless charging. Catch is an increase in prices compared to the previous Poko F series release, but at the expense of the initial birds, the F7 ultra is a compelling bargain. The F7 Pro is more and more according to what we expect from the brand, which has an old processor, limited camera, and no wireless charging. Both Xumi Hypers 2 runs and have a lot of blotchware, but Xiaomi now promises a four -Android version upgraded and six -year security patch.
14 Pro+ for Real 530: The color changing ends can be done, but it is fun, and this phone looks more expensive and feels. There are low altitude on the special sheet. You get a 6.83 -inch OLED display with a triple lens camera, an IP68/69 rating, 6,000 mAh battery, and 120 Hz refresh rate, but the snapdragon 7s general 3 chip set is limited, there is no wireless charging support, nor has no charger in the box. This is still a large bargain and should land in the UK soon.
For the Xiaomi 15 for £ 785: People wanting more than a compact phone more than Zumi 15 ultra can do much worse than their younger siblings. The Xiomi feels beautiful with 15 6.36 inch screen, a decent triple-linis camera, and advanced internals. But it is a conservative design, a kind of expensive, and has ultra -like software and blottware issues.
Honor Magic 7 RSR £ 1,550Designed with Porsche, this soup -up version of the aforementioned 7 Pro contains a phenian design that has a hexagunal camera module, slightly better telephoto lens, 24GB RAM (potentially largely meaningless), 1 TB storage, and a large battery (5,850 mA). It is beautiful but does not work enough to justify the extra emission.
Find X8 Pro in Oppo X 850: The last two OPPO flagships did not formally make a place in the UK and Europe, so the X8 Pro indicates a welcome return. This is a polished phone containing a quad lens camera (all 50 MP), but it seems that last year I used to use small sensors. It’s fast, excellent battery life, sharp wired and wireless charging, IP68/69 protection, and no obvious error. But it is expensive, and flagships should not have blt ware. I would love to wait for the X8 ultra.

Honor 200 Pro for 2 452: I do not like the design of Honor 200 Pro (7/10, Wired Review), but it has a versatile triple lens camera with portrait mode. There are also some useful AI features, and battery life is good, with sharp wired and wireless charging. It costs £ 200 at the time of launch, but at this new low price, it is far more attractive option.
Xumi Mix Philip for £ 639: Xiaomi’s first flip phone is amazingly good, which has two relatively bright bright and waistped screens, solid capacity, sharp charging, and fast performance. It is a shame that Xiaomi did not developed specific features related to more flip screen. This does not help that the Mix Philip was very expensive at the time of launch (0,099), but at this low cost, it is a reasonable scream for people who are folding flip phones.
Nobia Z 70 Ultra for £ 749: Like last year’s Z-60 Ultra (6/10, Wired Review), Z 70 Ultra is a value-filled brick with a 6.8-inch excellent display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip set, versatile triple lens camera, and 6,150-MAH battery. Unfortunately, the camera in the video recording is contradictory and faulty, and this software is flawed (promised only three Android version updates).

Xumi 14 T Pro for 440: Since Zumi’s flagship is a mid -year follow -up, 14 T Pro (7/10, Wired Review) is a slight bargain and since I reviewed it, the price has dropped. The main things are connected to nails with a large screen, good performance, plenty of capacity, and a solid camera. But there is a lack of wireless charging to compete with Bluetware, Xiaomi’s software, and so on.
One Plus Nord 4 for £ 329: With metal UNBD, Nord 4 stands and has a good screen, enough processing power for most people, impressive battery life, and fast charging. The main camera is fine, and here’s a feature of a Nifty Ecuity that allows you to use the phone with wet hands. But there is no wireless charge here, the ultra -wide camera is disappointing, and some are blotchware.
Avoid these phones
These are not necessarily a bad phone, but we think you will be better offered by something above.
Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5g for £ 599: This slim, lightweight midranger is proud of the 6.8-inch screen (shine limited), triple lens camera (solid 50 MP man and telephoto lens with disappointing 8-MP Ultrawide), and proud of an impressive IP69 rating. Battery life is good, and wired charging is fast, but there is no wireless charging. It is full of blotchware but also has AI features and tools that include duplicate, abstract, image modification, and more that can increase the value of some people. According to the performance, it cannot maintain a similar price POCO F7 ultra. After some time with 13 Pro, I am not convinced that it justifies such a large price collision with the 12 Pro (its price extra £ 150) last year, and you can do better than Better that money.
For the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 1,085: Only officially released in China, Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is a stylish folding phone that has a 6.56 -inch outer screen that is open to display a 7.98 -inch internal screen. It also offers concrete performance and battery life, but despite a large camera module of the quad lens, the camera is under influence. The crease is also pronounced, and the use of the Chinese model hurts a little because different things are not translated, and the apps you want to get it.

GT 7 Pro for £ 458: This potential flagship killer has a huge battery of 6.78 inch OLED screen, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and 6,500-MAH. You also get a triple lens camera, but the 50 -megapixel main and telephoto lens have been left down by 8 megapixel ultra -wide. It also lacks wireless charging, and you have to import it in the UK, because it seems to be sales in Germany only.
For the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ 8 348: A attractive, durable design (IP68), 200 megapixel Samsung camera sensor, and superficial charging (120 watts), should be decent battery life to be medalist performance, faulty ultra -wide (8MP) and macro (2MP) lens, and a ton of blotchware. Ultimately, there is much less improvement than last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro+ (6/10, Wired Review), and this is not just that there are better phones for the same amount. There are better Xumi phones.
Xumi Poko F6 for £ 259: When the first time was released, a real bargaining, Poko F6 series (7/10, wired recommendations) is still in greed with a large screen, decent performance, and a beautiful capable camera, but it has limited bltware, showy software, and long -term support. F6 is better than Pro.

Motoroa Edge 50 Pro for MOTER 353: It may decrease the price, but the Motorola Edge 50 Pro (7/10, Wired Review) has to go to an Android upgrade in just one couple. Although the design is compact and is a beautiful display, I found out that it lacks processing power, sometimes with camera performance, and has better options above.
Plus 5g for Nobia £ 419: We had some fun with the newbia Philip 5G (6/10, the Wired Review), and it was worth the cheapest flip folding for a while. The circular cover screen is cute, but it can’t work much. Performance on average was a year ago, and disturbing software and updated policy are major strikes against it.
