The Google Pixel 8 might be quirky, but it's still my new favorite mid-range phone

May 18, 2024 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

The Pixel 8a is a bit of a conundrum. It's not the most powerful mid-range phone, it doesn't have the best display in this price range, doesn't have the best camera hardware, doesn't have the best battery life and isn't even super affordable. You could look across phones at similar prices from Nothing, Poco, Redmi, Motorola, OnePlus and Samsung -- and find areas where it's easily outperformed. And yet, it's one of my favourite mid-range phones ever launched. ...
The Garmin Forerunner 165 offers almost everything a runner could want

Apr 12, 2024 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

Garmin added a new, budget-friendly AMOLED-equipped watch to its Forerunner range. This is the Forerunner 165, which costs around $250 in the US, or £250 in the UK. Technically, this particular model is the Music version, which costs about $50 or £40 more, but either way, it's cheaper than the Forerunner 265 models, and more expensive than the entry-level Forerunner 55. For the money, it's actually brilliant.
The Nothing Phone 2a -- better value than the Pixel 7a

Mar 28, 2024 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

Nothing's approach to tech has been refreshing -- to say the least, especially when it comes to the mid-range, affordable smartphone market. If nothing else, it's nice to see a company doing things differently. In fact, in a lot of ways, I think the Nothing Phone 2a -- with its price tag of around £320 in the UK and $350 in the US, but only as a developer device -- is a much better value proposition than what many regard as the best mid-ranger, the Pixel 7a.
The Honor Magic 6 Pro is an Android paradise for iPhone converts

Mar 2, 2024 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

In the smartphone world, it's easy to go for the obvious top dog. Usually made by Apple or Samsung, but what if there's an alternative from a brand you're not as familiar with? That's what the Honor Magic 6 Pro is. It's a proper flagship phone in so many ways, but it costs less than the big-names.

Feb 1, 2024 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

After the holidays -- you open your fridge -- and you've got the mammoth task of what to do with all your leftovers. You start combining things in ways that maybe you shouldn't and build things that wouldn't normally exist. That's kind of what the Galaxy S23 FE is. It's the post-holiday meal leftovers phone. Among its seemingly disparate parts, is there a delicious day-after sandwich when combined?

OnePlus 12 review

Jan 30, 2024 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

OnePlus 12 offers incremental updates, but it's more than meets the eye. It provides stellar performance, great battery life, and a strong triple camera system. The display of the OnePlus 12 is one of the brightest and best on the market. It has quadHD resolution, smooth animations, and reacts quickly to changes in demand on the screen. The OnePlus 12 is designed for longevity with optimized hardware and firmware. It aims to make the phone feel new even after 2-3 years of use.
Amazon Echo Dot with Clock (5th gen) review: A great all-round package

Nov 28, 2023 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

Amazon's fifth-generation Echo Dot has been on the market for more than a year now, offering better sound than its predecessor and a lot of smarts in a compact, cute, fabric-covered sphere package. It's the most popular Echo for a reason. I've been living with the speaker for the past year, set up in a bedside pair. I've had two variants: the regular Echo Dot and the Echo Dot with Clock.
This cool Samsung One UI trick lets you drag and drop content from your photos

Nov 27, 2023 | pocket-lint.com | Cam Bunton

A couple of years ago, Apple introduced a feature in iOS which allowed you to tap and hold an object in the foreground of any photo in the Photos app, and then either drag and drop it into a document or message. In iOS 17, you can also use it to create a dedicated sticker to use in Messages. It seems Samsung has been inspired by this feature and introduced its own version in One UI 15.1 earlier in 2023.
