iQOO 11 5G
The iQOO 11 5G leads the lineup with Qualcomm's previous flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. It offers a choice between 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM along with 256 GB of UFS 4.0 storage. Featuring a stunning 10-bit 6.78-inch HDR10+ compliant E6 AMOLED display boasting a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels and a swift 144 Hz refresh rate, all shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. Operating on Android 13 with FunTouch OS 13, users can anticipate ongoing updates and enhancements.
OnePlus 12R
The recently released OnePlus 12R also boasts the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip. While the R series phones may not offer all the extravagant features of their pricier counterparts, they remain formidable devices that inherit much from the company's flagship line, all at a more accessible price range. Within this budget, obtaining the top-tier variant of the phone with 16 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 3.1 storage is easily achievable.
Samsung Galaxy S23 5G
The 6.1 in Galaxy S23 feels positively diddy compared to the current crop of big-screen Android rivals. The Galaxy S23 is a safe bet, which puts user experience and an expansive software ecosystem ahead of hardware innovation or uber-competitive pricing. It doesn’t scream value for money as a result. More affordable rivals have taken the lead on charging speeds, and aren’t far behind when it comes to photography.
Apple iPhone 15
For those with older phones from five or so years ago, the iPhone 15 marks a giant leap forward with a fast chip, long battery life, a crisp and bright display and the more useful USB-C port.
The trickle-down effect from the iPhone Pro models also adds a bit of interest. The 48MP main camera captures more detail and the automatic portrait mode is a bit of a gamechanger.
