Oppo Find X3 Pro
£1100 / stuff.tv/X3Pro

In almost every respect, the X3 Pro
is a killer flagship phone. Oppo’s
software has taken a major leap
forward and the hardware is easily
on a par with Apple and Samsung.
If you want the best you pay the
premium... and the Find X3 Pro is
very much one of the best.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro

from £999 / stuff.tv/12Pro

The achievements of the iPhone

12 Pro are evident everywhere...

but who actually needs them?

For some, the camera setup is

the selling point, but an extra £100

bags you an even better one on

the 12 Pro Max; and for the rest

of us, the iPhone 12 will do fine.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

+++++from £1099 / stuff.tv/12ProMax

The only choice if you want to fully Max your iPhone

experience... but not a big upgrade over the 12 Pro.

Apple iPhone 12 Mini

+++++from £699 / stuff.tv/12Mini

A 5.4in-screened cutie packing Apple’s lauded A14

Bionic chip and the same cameras as the iPhone 12.

Apple iPhone 12

from £799 / stuff.tv/iPhone12

The demise of Samsung’s glorious Galaxy S20

5G left a space on the Stuff smartphone throne

(and its replacement didn’t even make the Top

Ten)... but don’t go thinking the iPhone 12 is only

our No1 phone by default. We loved the iPhone

11, and its successor carries a whole host of

improvements. If you can live without the

telephoto camera of the flagship 12 Pro (and

most can), you should save yourself some cash

and get the 12 instead. In many ways it’s the

same phone.
