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 very similar to the iPhone 13, which itself was very similar to the iPhone 12. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad phone — it’s just less of an upgrade for anyone using a phone that’s only two years old.

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

Stylish, robust design; Impressive camera performance; Gorgeous display; Three-year warranty;

Performance is lacking for the price; No true stand-out feature compared to the competition;

No charger in box - more cost, Mono speaker, SD695 is not really in this class/price, There are more cost-competitive alternatives

Nokia X30 5G is the greenest phone from Finnish HMD, but the performance is not impressive.

It is quite green. The phone is made mainly of recycled materials, and Nokia promises three years of updates. Full 5G support.

Apart from selfies, the cameras are mediocre and the zoom is downright poor. Performance is behind most competitors.

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

The X30 5G is Nokia’s first premium handset in years, and it makes a good initial impression. As it boasts a polished design, a good screen, the promise of continued software updates, and decent battery life, this positive impression carries on with everyday use.

Decent battery life, Long software lifespan, Sturdy build quality, You want decent camera performance . The camera on this device won’t knock your socks off, but you can count on it for decent snaps.

Mono speaker, Camera produces middling results, Some issues with reliability, You like bigger smartphones . If you want to cram more content on your screen, then this phone isn’t for you.

Traditional brand. Nokia is stepping up its game once again. The X30 5G is the Finnish manufacturer's fastest smartphone so far and is also supposed to be the most sustainable. The mid-range smartphone makes a strong impression terms of features, accompanied by a 3-year warranty and equally long...
