The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

The release of the newer S24 Ultra doesn’t detract from the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra remains a strong all-rounder; it has a stellar display, a top-notch stylus experience, blisteringly fast performance and very good camera performance, even if it can’t quite compete with its...

200MP camera delivers in both well-lit and low-light conditions, Top-notch performance from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, All-day battery life, Stunningly detailed 6.8in 120Hz display

Very expensive, Relatively slow 45W charging, Difficult to use one-handed

A tougher build, faster memory and storage, a more efficient battery, a custom-tuned chipset and a new 200MP main camera hidden behind a familiar design; the S23 Ultra is a more substantial upgrade than you might first realize.

Bespoke Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, More base storage than predecessor, Functional refinements

Faster charging would have been nice, Looks identical to predecessor, Seriously expensive

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is a solid all-rounder, but it’s outdone in both the sound and picture departments by Apple and Sony 120Hz display Next-generation camera Fantastic build Expensive Minimal AV updates over last year Tough competition

The Galaxy S23 Ultra may be expensive but it’s also a massive upgrade on last year’s best Android phone

Huge performance boost, Monstrous battery life, Stunning, colour-accurate display

Expensive, Price increase this year, Few changes elsewhere

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.

Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)

Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less

The iPhone 14 is better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the world’s best Android smartphone.

Samsung’s premium glass slab offering with an S-Pen and DeX, 200MP camera is about bragging rights but generally lives up to the promise, Fast processor, RAM, and storage, Excellent battery life, 2+4+5 warranty/OS upgrades/security patches

No charger inbox and only up to 27W charging from third-party chargers, Base model 8/256GB – this is supposed to be a premium phone., An 8-bit/16.7m colour screen is inappropriate for a premium flagship.
