SUPERTEST SMARTPHONES
Google Pixel 4 XL
The purist’s Android choice, with clean software and a terrific
camera, but not the most dynamic smartphone around.
from £829 / stuff.tv/Pixel4XL
Motorola One Zoom
With features to pique your interest at an excellent price,
Motorola are the mid-range kings for a reason.
£380 / stuff.tv/OneZoom
Asus ROG Phone II
It’s a gaming-centric phone... but the ROG Phone II delivers in
so many areas, how could we ignore it?
£830 / stuff.tv/RogPhone2
Oppo Reno2
This Oppo offers the brand’s best bang for your buck, but
falls agonisingly short in key areas.
£450 / stuff.tv/Reno2
We all know 5G and folding
phones are a thing and will
continue to be a thing in
- Mass adoption of 5G
depends on dropping prices,
better coverage and greater
availability... so watch this
space to see if mobile
makers and networks
actually make it happen.
If you’re looking further
afield, firstly get you... and
secondly head to p68 and
read our exclusive interview
with futurist Matthew
Griffin, where he discusses
everything from graphene
batteries charging in
seconds to 11k screens
with natural 3D.
Otherwise, sticking our
neck out and putting our
considerable reputation on
the line, we reckon this time
next year you’ll be seeing an
iPhone 12 and maybe some
Google Pixels.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro
Is the Pro the best phone Apple has ever made? Yes. It’s just
too super-expensive to top our test.
from £1049 / stuff.tv/iPhone11Pro
Huawei Mate 30 Pro
It’s got all the spec credentials to be a top-three phone, but
losing Google Play grinds our gears just too much.
€1099 / stuff.tv/Mate30Pro
OnePlus 7T
A smooth display, a rapid processor, super-fast charging and
a capable display make this the latest Android to beat.
£549 / stuff.tv/OnePlus7T
Apple iPhone 11
Apple has done the unexpected and produced an affordable
handset that doesn’t really scrimp on specs.
from £729 / stuff.tv/iPhone11
