Other good international phones

These phones deserve to be considered if you don’t see something you want.

Oppo Find N5 for 1,106 poundsIt is a real shameful matter that Find N5 will not land even in the United Kingdom or Europe, because the thinnest of the books in the world (3.6 mm open) is a beautiful phone. The 6.62 -inch cover screen and the interior screen is 8.12 inches excellent, and Find N5 has higher specifications along the road (Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage, 5600 MB battery, wire charging 80 watt and 50 watts). The triple lens camera (50 megapixels, 50 MB, TV, and 8 MP) is the most obvious medium solution, and the need for this factor. Budgy and Bloatware is a little bit of other critics, but the possible pain of import will be enough to stop most people.

Xiaomi Poco F7 Ultra for 649 pounds sterling and F7 Pro for 499 pounds sterlingWhile Poco was traditionally a budget brand, the F7 Ultra takes it to a new area. This phone features some leading features on the pioneering level, such as the Snapdragon 8 ChipSet collection with VisionBoost D7 for graphics, a powerful three -lens camera, a beautiful 6.67 -inch screen with a 120 Hz update rate. It also records the IP68 classification and provides wireless charging up to 50 watts. Fishing is the high prices on previous POCO F versions, but at the early bird price, F7 ULTRA is a convincing deal. F7 Pro is in line with the brand we expect, with an older processor, limited camera, and no wireless charging. Both run Xiaomi’s Hyperos 2 and have many huge programs, but Xiaomi is now four Android versions and six years of safety corrections.

Realme 14 Pro+ for 530 eurosThe variable end of colors may be paid, but it is fun, and this phone looks and feels more expensive than it is. There are the highest levels of its lowest levels on the specifications sheet. You can get a three -lens camera, IP68/69 classification, 6000 mAh battery, 6.83 -inch OLED screen with 120 Hz updates, but Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 group is limited, and there is no wireless charging, and there is no charger in the box. It is still a deal completely and must land in the United Kingdom soon.

Xiaomi 15 for 899 pounds sterlingPeople looking for a more tight phone than Xiaomi 15 Ultra can do much worse than his younger brother. Xiaomi 15 looks beautiful, with a 6.36 -inch screen, a decent triple camera, and a first -class interior. It is a conservative design and a kind of price and has the same code and luxury problems as Ultra.

Honor Magic 7 RSR for 1550 pounds sterlingThis Porsche version of 7 Pro Above is designed by a jam with a hexagonal camera unit, a slightly improved television lens, a random access memory 24 GB (it is likely to be significantly meaningless), 1 TB of storage, and a larger battery (5,850 mAh per hour). It is beautiful but does not do enough to justify the additional expenses.

Oppo Find X8 Pro for 1099 pounds sterling: The last two OPPO pioneers have not officially reached the United Kingdom and Europe, so the X8 Pro represents a welcome return. This is a polished phone with a quad -lens camera (all 50 MP), but it seems to be a reduction from Find the X7 Ultra that you used last year Because of the smaller sensor. It is fast, with excellent battery life, fast wireless and wire charging, IP68/69 protection, and there is no clear neglect. But it is expensive, and the leading pioneers should not have. Best waiting X8 Ultra.

Honor 200 Pro for 499 pounds sterlingI don’t like the design of The Honor 200 Pro (7/10, wire review), But it has a multi -use triple camera with a capable image. There are also some useful artificial intelligence features, the battery life is good, with a fast wire and wireless charging. It costs 200 pounds at all, but at a lower new price, it is a more attractive option.

Xiaomi Mix Flip for 749 pounds sterlingXiaomi First Flip is amazingly good, with relatively bright and spacious screens, solid durability, fast charging, and fast performance. It is a shame that Xiaomi did not make more features of the screen. This does not help in the Mix Flip is very expensive at launch (1099 pounds), but at this reduced price, it is a decent trend for people who are eager to a foldable phone.

Nubia Z70 Ultra for 749 pounds sterlingLike Z60 Ultra last year (6/10, wire review), Z70 Ultra is a value -packed brick with an excellent 6.8 -inch screen, Snapdragon 8 slices, a multi -use triple lens camera, and a 6,150 mAh battery. Unfortunately, the camera is inconsistent with video recording, and the program is bad (with three Android versions only).

Oppo Reno 12 Pro for 395 pounds: There are a few reasons to consider Reno 12 Pro: the camera and the battery life. The main camera and a telephone lens, both are evaluated on 50 MP, are rare at this price (there is also a 8 -megapixel selfie and a 50 -megapixel selfie camera). But I do not like the plastic design, there is an abundant Bloatware, and the performance is fine.

Xiaomi 14t Pro for 470 pounds: With the mid -year continued for Xiaomi pioneering 1414t Pro (7/10, wire reviewIt is a small deal and has decreased in the price since it reviewed it. The basics were bent, with a large screen, good performance, a lot of endurance, and a solid camera. But there are BLOATWARE programs, Xiaomi software, and no wireless charging to confront it.

OnePlus Nord 4 for 369 pounds: Through a monochrome body, Nord 4 highlights and also features an excellent screen, adequate treatment force for most people, impressive battery life, fast charging. The main camera is fine, and there is an elegant dark feature that allows you to use the phone with wet hands. But there is no wireless charging, the Ultrawide camera is disappointing, and there are some huge programs.

Avoid these phones

Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 for 1085 pounds sterlingXiaomi Mix Fold 4 is only officially released in China, which is an elegant folding phone with a 6.56 -inch external screen that is open to detect an internal screen of 7.98 inches. It also provides strong performance and lifetime of the battery, but although there is a large four -lens camera unit, the camera is disappointing. Classification is also pronounced, the use of a Chinese model is some pain where different things are not translated, and there is a work in obtaining the applications you want.

Realme GT7 Pro for 774 pounds: This pioneering murderer has a 6.78 -inch OLED screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, and a huge battery of 6,500 meters per hour.

Motorola Edge 50 Pro for 399 pounds sterling: It may decrease in the price, but Motorola Edge 50 Pro (7/10, wire reviewOnly two Android promotions to go. Although the design is compressed and there is a beautiful view, I found that it lacks the treatment force, with the slow performance of the slow camera, and there are better options above.

Nubia Nubia 5G for 419 pounds sterlingWe enjoyed some fun with FLIP 5G (FLIP 5G)6/10, wire review), The cheapest folding is available for a while. The circular cover screen is nice, but it cannot do much. The performance was average a year ago, annoying programs and modernization policy are great strikes against it.
