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.

Really awesome? The Galaxy A54 5G is the poster child for Samsung's mid-range devices. Our review highlights upgrades over last year's model, especially the SoC, display brightness, a new sensor for the main camera as well as eSIM support.

very bright and accurate display, hybrid-SIM plus eSIM, fast microSD slot, long-term updates, accurate positioning, dust and waterproof

no DC dimming, slow charging, no wireless charging, slow memory, poor gaming performance, few audio codecs for Bluetooth

The Samsung Galaxy A54 is a solid mid-ranger that ticks most boxes – it has a great display, premium build, a decent camera setup and a large battery – but slight performance niggles and inconsistent battery life stop it from being an instant recommendation.

Premium look and build, Great 120Hz AMOLED display, Huge 5,000mAh battery, New and improved 50MP camera, You want a solid all-rounder: The Galaxy A54 boasts a decent design, a pretty good display, a capable main rear camera and a large battery.

Inconsistent battery life, No display HDR support, Can be a bit slow at times, Slow charge times, You want the best performance possible: Even with the upgraded Exynos 1380, the Galaxy A54 isn’t quite as powerful as some key rivals like the Pixel 6a.

The Galaxy A54 has a big, bright screen and a big battery, making it a great every-day device, although one which - on balance - seems more expensive than it should be.

Big, vivid and bright display with 120Hz refresh, Strong battery life - almost two days of use, IP67 rated water/dust resistance, Strong main camera

Can stutter and lag at times, Ultrawide and macro cameras aren't the greatest, Lots of software bloat

A return to form for Samsung’s A-series

Great-looking screen, Capable camera system, IP67 water resistance

Clunky styling, No RAW photo capture, No wireless charging

“The Samsung Galaxy A54's colorful design and screen are matched by the colorful photos it takes, and while it's a sensible, good-value buy, it's let down by disappointing battery life.”

Eye-catching colors, It looks like the Galaxy S23, Colorful screen, Speakers sound good, Long software commitment

Battery doesn't last two days, No wireless charging, Camera lacks realism

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
