It scores higher than most on pure specs, but the design
doesn’t quite match the price.
from £719 / stuff.tv/GooglePixelThese handsome handsets
are as cutting-edge as it
gets right now, and constant
software tweaks and
operating system upgrades
should mean they won’t
be left behind once newer
models roll around. The latest
version of Android is already
in developers’ hands (even
if we don’t know what sweet
treat the ‘O’ stands for just
yet), and Apple is set to
talk all things iOS at its
own developer conference
in June.
But we’re not finished with
new hardware yet. Now that
Samsung and LG have kicked
off the tiny-bezel trend,
expect the rest of the world
to follow suit – including
Apple. It’s the iPhone’s 10th
birthday this year, so expect
something special to arrive
in September.
And that’s just the start:
they probably won’t arrive
until 2018, but smartphone
screens that can bend and
fold are already in the works.
Now that’s the kind of phone
future we really want.follow Tom:

The gap from the big boys is widening in terms of tech specs,
but this phone is still untouchable for sheer value.
from £399 / stuff.tv/OnePlus3TLG G6
It narrowly loses out to Samsung in the style department,
but the G6 is a stunner of a phone.
