Find N5 for £ 1,255: It is a real shame that N5 will not even enter the UK or Europe, as the world’s most impure book-style foldable (3.6 millimeters open) is a cute phone. The 6.62-inch cover display and 8.12-inch internal performance are excellent, and the Find N5 has top glasses in all ways (Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, 5,600-mAh battery, 80-vat wired and 50-Whats wire hanging). Triple-lens camera (50-mp main, 50-mp telephoto, 8-mp ultravide) is the most clear agreement, a requirement for this form factor. Slight buggy software and blotware are only other inhibitors, but the potential pain of importing will be sufficient to stop most people.

Xiaomi Poco F7 for Ultra £ 549 and F7 Pro for £ 449: While Poco is traditionally been a budget brand, the F7 Ultra name appropriately takes it to the new area. This phone consists of some flagship-level features, such as Visionbost D7 for graphics with Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset, a powerful triple-lens camera, and a beautiful, high-resolution with a 120-hartz refresh rate with 6.67-inch display. It also scores an IP68 rating and provides up to a 50-wireless charging. The catch is a price increase on the previous Poco F series release, but at the expense of the early bird, F7 Ultra is a compelling deal. The F7 Pro corresponds to whatever he expects from the brand with an old processor, limited camera and no wireless charging. Both run the Hyperos 2 of Xiaomi and have a lot of blotware, but Xiaomi now promises four Android version upgrade and six -year security patch.

Realme 14 Pro+ € 530: Colorful finish can be finish, but it is fun, and this phone looks and looks much more expensive. The imagination is much higher than the climb on the sheet. You get 6.83-inch OLED display with an triple-lens camera, an IP68/69 rating, 6,000-mAh battery and 120-hurts refresh rate, but Snapdragon 7S General 3 Chipset is limited, no wireless charging support is limited, and there is no charger in the box. This is still quite a deal and should soon enter Britain.

Xiaomi 15 for £ 785: Xiaomi 15 people looking for more compact phones can do much worse than their younger brother -in -law than the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Xiaomi 15 looks cute, with a 6.36-inch screen, a decent triple-lens camera and top-internal internal. But this is a conservative design, a kind of price, and has the same software and blotware issues as ultra.

Honor Magic 7 RSR for £ 1,550: Designed with Porsche, this soup-up version of 7 Pro has a hardcore design with a hexagonal camera module, a little better telephoto lens, 24 GB RAM (possibly a large extent meaningless), 1 TB storage and a large battery (5,850 mAh). It is cute, but is not enough to justify the extra outlay.

Search X8 Pro for £ 850: The last two Oppo flagship did not officially make it in the UK and Europe, so X8 Pro marks a reception return. It is a polish phone with a quad-lens camera (all 50 MP), but it feels like a downgrade from Find X7 Ultra that I used last year due to small sensors. It is rapid, with excellent battery life, rapid wired and wireless charging, IP68/69 security, and no clear lapse. But it is expensive, and the flagship should not have blotware. I would like to wait for X8 Ultra.

Honor 200 Pro for £ 452: I do not love the design of Honor 200 Pro (7/10, Wired Review), but it has a versatile triple-lens camera with a competent portrait mode. There are some useful AI characteristics, and the battery life is good, which has a fast wired and wireless charging. Its price in launch is £ 200 more, but at this new low price, it is far more attractive option.

Xiaomi Mix Flip for £ 639: Xiaomi’s first flip phone is surprisingly good, with two relatively bright and room screens, solid stamina, fast charging and staggering performance. It is a shame that Xiaomi did not craft more flip screen-specific features. It does not help that the mix was very expensive in the flip launch (£ 1,099), but at this low price, it is a decent shout for people craving a folding flip phone.

Nubia Z70 Ultra for £ 749: Like last year’s Z60 Ultra (6/10, Wired Review), Z70 Ultra is an excellent 6.8-inch display, Snapdragon 8 elite chipset, versatile triple-lens camera and a price-pack brick with a 6,150-mAH battery. Unfortunately, the camera recording is inconsistent and poor in the video, and the software is inferior (only three Android versions are promised with updates).

Xiaomi 14t Pro for £ 440: As a follower of the mid-year of Xiaomi’s head 14, 14T Pro (7/10, Wired Review) is a bit of a bargaining and since I reviewed it, the price has declined. Basics are not with a large screen, good performance, a lot of stamina and a solid camera. But there is a lack of blotware, Xiaomi’s software, and wireless charging.

OnePlus Nord 4 for £ 329: With a metal unibody, the Nord 4 stands out and claims an excellent screen, adequate processing power for most people, influential battery life and fast charging. The main camera is fine, and is a Nifty Aquatouch feature that lets you use the phone with wet hands. But there is no wireless charging, the ultravide camera is disappointing, and there is some blotware.

Avoid these phones

These are not necessarily bad phones, but we think you will serve better by something above.

Oppo Reno 13 Pro 5G for £ 599: It claims slim, lightweight midwrong 6.8-inch screen (brightness is limited), a triple-lens camera (a disappointing 8-mp ultravide with a triple-lens camera (solid 50-mp main and telephoto lens), and an impressive IP69 rating. Battery life is good, and wired charging is sharp, but no wireless charging. It is packed with blotware, but transcription, summary, image editing, and more covered AI features and equipment that can also add value for some people. Performance-wise, it cannot keep up with equally priced Poco F7 Ultra. After some time with the 13 Pro, I am not sure that it justifies such a large price collision on the previous year’s 12 Pro (it costs £ 150), and you can do better for this money.

Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 £ 1,085: Only officially released in China, Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is a stylish folding phone with an external screen of 6.56 inch that opens to reveal the 7.98 -inch internal screen. It also provides solid performance and battery life, but despite having a large quad-lens camera module, the camera decreases. The crease is also pronounced, and using a Chinese model is a little pain because different things are not translated, and work in achieving your intended apps.

Realme GT7 Pro for £ 458: This possible flagship killer has a 6.78-inch OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip, and a 6,500-mH battery. You also get a triple-lens camera, but the 50-megapixel main and telephoto lens are allowed down by 8-megapixel ultravide. It also lacks wireless charging, and you have to import it to the UK, as it only seems to be on sale in Germany.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ £ 348: An attractive, durable design (IP68), a 200-megapixel Samsung camera sensor, and decent battery life with superfast charging (120-wat) should be balanced against middle battery life, poor Ultravide (8 MP) and Macro (2 MP) lens and a ton of blotware. Finally, last year’s Redmi Note 13 Pro+ (6/10, Wired Review) has improved slightly, and it’s not just that there are better phones for the same money; Better Xiaomi phones are.

Xiaomi Poco F6 for £ 259: A real deal when released for the first time, the Poco F6 series (7/10, wires recommendation) is still breathtaking with a large screen, decent performance and a beautiful enabled camera, but there is blotware, inferior software and limited long -term support. F6 is a better value than Pro.

Motorola Edge 50 Pro for £ 353: It can fall in the price, but the Motorola Edge 50 Pro (7/10, Wires Review) is only for some Android upgrade. While the design is compact and a cute performance, I found that it lacks processing power, sometimes with dull camera performance, and above there are better options.

Nubia Flip 5g for £ 419: We had some fun with Nubia Flip 5G (6/10, Wired Review), and it was the cheapest flip foldable available for a while. Circular cover screen is cute, but it cannot do much. The performance was average a year ago, and annoying software and updated policy are major attacks against it.
