  Aug 13, 2022 briny 0 Comments

  Reviewing the top mid-range Android smartphones for the summer of 2022 that can be purchased for about £400 and have the greatest camera technology, gaming performance, and other features. From Samsung's Galaxy A53 5G and Xiaomi's Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus to the Pixel 6a and Nothing Phone 1, (plus the Poco F4). These are my top picks for mid-range, reasonably priced phones available in the UK!

  Check out my reviews and roundups of the best Android smartphones under £300 and £200 if you're looking for an even more affordable device.

  It was difficult to narrow down my top 10 choices this far out in 2022. A variety of intriguing smartphones are available from manufacturers like Google, Nothing, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Realme for a mid-range asking price. Although competitors like the OnePlus Nord 2T aren't far behind, the Pixel 6a continues to offer the greatest camera performance. Recent additions like the Nothing Phone 1, which has distinctive features like wireless charging, are particularly enticing.

  Although the gaming performance isn't as fantastic as the A52s from last year, the Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is still endearing, so you might be tempted to look back instead. While the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus is a bit of a mouthful, it's still a superb phone with high-end features at an affordable price. You may also purchase the Note 11 and standard Pro for less money (check out my full comparison). A favorite of mine for gaming grunt is the Poco F4.

  It's also worth taking a closer look at Realme's superb GT Master Edition and 9 Pro Plus models. Which among the numerous do you personally prefer?

• Unpacked Samsung Galaxy A23 5G

  Aug 13, 2022 briny 0 Comments

  This week, Samsung introduced a ton of glitzy devices, including the Galaxy A23 5G cheap phone and the Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 bendy blowers. View my in-depth analysis of the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and other smartwatches, as well as comprehensive unboxings and more. The rest of the kit will be available soon.

  

   

  The Samsung Galaxy A23 5G had the least publicized introduction because it was absent from the Unpacked 2022 celebration. But this low-cost smartphone has some respectable features, a 50MP camera with OIS, and Snapdragon 695 brains. Because of this, the Galaxy A23 5G is a significantly more affordable option if you can't buy foldables. While the Z Fold 4 is yet another absurdly large smartphone, the Samsung Z Flip 4 is still fantastic even though it hasn't improved much. Not a single surprise.

  Samsung also unveiled the new Galaxy Buds 2 Pro at Unpacked 2022, which appear to be a good alternative for audiophiles. Additionally, three new sizes of the Samsung Watch, including an incredibly pricey Pro model with a huge battery, were given to aficionados of wearable technology.

• When contrasting Samsung's Galaxy A53 5G, Google's Pixel 6a, the Nothing Phone 1, and each other,

  Jul 25, 2022 briny 0 Comments

  Testing the best mid-range smartphone for photography quality, gaming, battery life, and more in 2022 by contrasting Google's Pixel 6a with the Nothing Phone 1, Samsung's Galaxy A53 5G, and more! It's a difficult decision, as I've used the Pixel 6a, Nothing Phone 1, and Samsung A53 as my primary phones (full review of Google's mobile coming soon). Personally, I'd choose a Pixel, but every smartphone has benefits and problems of its own.

  This trio uses extremely different hardware for their cameras. While the Pixel 6a and Nothing Phone 1 take photographs that appear to be as natural as possible, Samsung's Galaxy A53 tends to make colors stand out. The A53, with its constrained Exynos chipset, shouldn't be your first pick if you're a gamer. For Genshin Impact enthusiasts, Carl Pei's smartphone—which functions well under pressure—is actually the finest option. On the other hand, battery life isn't that great.

  The Nothing Phone 1 is the most expensive phone in this comparison thanks to its Gorilla Glass back and aluminum frame. However, unlike the Pixel 6a and Galaxy A53 5G, it is not water resistant. All three of the mid-range smartphones provide an OLED display, albeit the Google model is regrettably limited to 60Hz. You also get a dual speaker system.

  Which smartphone is your favorite, then? Comment below and let us know!

• Apple's iPhone SE 3 is being reviewed.

  Apr 24, 2022 briny 0 Comments

  Reviewing Apple's iPhone SE 3, a more inexpensive 2022 model that also feels like an antique, with detailed opinions on the camera, gaming performance, battery life, and more. For about a month, I've been using the 3rd generation iPhone SE 2022, and here's why you shouldn't buy it!

  Prepare to be disappointed if you were looking for a smartphone camera experience similar to the 13 Series devices. When the lighting isn't ideal, photo and video quality suffers, yet the iPhone SE 3 is capable of handling modest home videos and the like. The battery life is also a major disappointment. Because my little smartphone was nearly depleted, I found myself stuck in battery saver mode most evenings. You do, however, get wireless charging.

  The iPhone SE 3 2022 delivers excellent performance, albeit it does become hot while playing games like Genshin Impact. You also have the most recent iOS 15 with the promised improvements. Unfortunately, there's more bad news for movie buffs: the little display has ancient IPS technology, with weak contrast and color reproduction when compared to several competitors. The cheapest iPhone SE 2022 comes with only 64GB of storage, no expandability, and no headphone jack, among other features.

  Overall, the iPhone SE 3 is a bad value for money, despite its low price. What are your thoughts on this?
