Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

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

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

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 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 can best be described as an iterative upgrade. Sure, it fixes long-time issues with the Fold series by getting rid of the gap and impressive software support, but it’s near-identical in most other areas, making the £100/$150 price hike a particularly hard pill to swallow.

Large 7.6-inch foldable display, Most powerful foldable phone around, Better app support than other book-style foldables, You want to use the foldable display to its fullest: Samsung’s exceptional push to get developers to integrate support for the boxy inner display shines through, with plenty of...

Very similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, £100/$150 price increase, Identical camera setup, You want the best photography experience: Boasting the same camera tech as the Z Fold 4, the foldable delivers fine (but not particularly exceptional) images, especially compared to the Google Pixel Fold .

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 is a minor upgrade over the Z Fold 4. But it's a more polished package than the Pixel Fold or Honor Magic Vs – Samsung's main competition in the West – and it's also the only foldable with stylus input.

Loads of power and all-day battery, Bright, high-quality displays, Reassuringly solid hinge, IPX8 water-resistance, S Pen stylus input

Narrow cover screen feels cramped, Modest upgrades versus Z Fold 4, Mediocre cameras for the price, Still undeniably expensive

Critic Rating 4 Back in August, when launched the Galaxy Z Fold5, it came as a surprise among people how similar the Galaxy Z Fold5 looks and feels compared to the Galaxy Z Fold4, in terms of design. For many, there was nothing new apart from that 2.4 reduced thickness at the thickest point.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
