iPhone 17 — Price and Full Specifications

The strongest "standard" iPhone so far — the gap to the Pro model has narrowed noticeably this year thanks to the display, the selfie camera and the chip. An excellent choice unless you specifically need the Pro telephoto lens.

+The first standard iPhone with a 120Hz display and Dynamic Island
+Very strong performance from the A19 chip
+An all-new 18MP selfie camera

−No separate, true telephoto lens
−No charger in the box
−A big enough upgrade to leave iPhone 16 owners genuinely torn

ZTE nubia Neo 5 Max Review: Full Specs, Pros, and Cons

A unique and ambitious "PadPhone" experience aimed squarely at gamers who want a very large screen and a massive battery in one device instead of carrying a phone and a separate handheld console — but its very large size and lack of official availability in the Arab region right now make it a niche pick for a specific type of user.

+A massive 7.5-inch display, unique in its class
+A huge cooling system exceeding 30,000mm²
+7,100mAh battery with an emergency gaming mode

−IPS, not AMOLED, display
−Misleading marketing of actual RAM capacity
−No wireless charging
