best smartphones blackberry key2 hands on feat

BlackBerry Key2 review

The KeyOne, which launched last year, rode a wave of nostalgia, but it’s back to business for BlackBerry. Its latest phone is the BlackBerry Key2, which succeeds its predecessor in every way -- especially with the keyboard, which is now practically perfect.
sony xperia xz2

Sony Xperia XZ2 review

Sony’s current flagship smartphone is the Xperia XZ2. It costs $800, and it’s quite comparable to Samsung’s Galaxy S9 in many ways. Does that mean you should drop your hard-earned money on it? It’s a tough question, as the XZ2 checks off a lot of boxes. We find the answer in our review.
moto g6 play

Moto G6 Play review

For years, Motorola G-series phones have been the go-to choice for budget phones. This year's Moto G6 Play is Motorola's newest budget offering, featuring an all new design and upgraded specs.

posche design huawei mate rs back

Porsche Design Huawei Mate RS review

When Porsche Design was tasked with beautifying the P20 Pro, it came up with this, the Mate RS. It’s very pretty, and does everything the P20 Pro does; but comes with some superfluous tech you really don’t want. Oh, and a massive price tag. Is it worth the extra? Here’s our Porsche Design Mate RS review.
Alcatel 3V review

Alcatel 3V review

The Alcatel 3V offers an impressive package at a price that undercuts the competition. Just $150 buys you a 6-inch screen, a dual camera, a big battery, and a modern look -- but there must be some compromises, right? Learn exactly what this phone has to offer in our Alcatel 3V review.
moto g6 review hands on 16

Moto G6 review

The Moto G6 is Motorola’s latest low-cost phone that looks and feels like it should cost a lot more than it does. A glass body, dual-lens camera, and a big screen make it tempting, but should you buy one? We’ve been trying it out to see if it’s more than just a pretty face.
Moto G6 Plus Review

Moto G6 Plus review

Motorola has ruled the budget roost with its G series for a few years now, but we are seeing more cheap phones worth buying coming onto the market. In our Moto G6 Plus review, we examine whether the fresh design, dual-lens camera, and all the extras are enough for the Moto G6 Plus to claim top spot again.
Nokia 6.1 smartphone

Nokia 6.1 review

Months after showing off the Nokia 6 at Mobile World Congress, HMD has brought it to the U.S. under a new name -- the Nokia 6.1. For its $270 price tag, the Nokia 6.1 offers exceptional value. Both beautiful and powerful, the Nokia 6.1 is the latest budget phone to beat.

Honor 10 review

Erupting in a kaleidoscope of color, the glass-bodied Honor 10 costs way less than you’d expect, and still has the excellent camera we’ve come to expect from the company. We’ve had it in our hands to see if it can live up to those initially very strong impressions. Here’s our Honor 10 review.
sony xperia xa2 ultra review feat

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review

Sony may be embracing a new design, but that doesn’t mean it’s not selling a phone with an older design theme. The mid-range Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra costs $450, and a lot of compromises, which is unusual for a mid-range smartphone. Is it worth buying? Find out in our Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra review.

Huawei P20 Pro review

The Huawei P20 Pro proves three isn’t always a crowd with its innovative triple-lens camera system, that turns out to be something way more than a gimmick. It’s also just one aspect of this brilliant new smartphone, that takes the fight for Android phone supremacy right to Samsung and Google’s door.
