The Sony Xperia Pro-I is the perfect smartphone for photography lovers.

Of course, nothing beats viewing such incredible photos than viewing them on an equally incredible screen.

And with Android 12 straight out the box, your gear arrives with the latest operating system and features.

But, that doesn’t mean it lacks features.

Want to take intricate photos?

Unfortunately, this is where the Moto G Stylus falls short.

Google Pixel 6 Pro

Perfect for day-to-day tasks.

It handles everything so well.

Of course, with a name like Pro Max, you might expect a large 6.7-inch screen.

Granted, the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is an expensive investment.

Nokia XR20 5G

This Qualcomm-powered smartphone comes 5G-enabled and is shockproof and water resistant.

It’s Nokia’s most rugged smartphonethe Nokia XR20 5G.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in all colors

It’s just a shame the price tag is a little too high to warrant the rugged appeal.

Samsung Galaxy A53

Want a more affordable Samsung Galaxy smartphone?

Enter the Samsung Galaxy A53.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 02

It’s pretty much a stripped-down version of the Galaxy S22 at a cheaper price point.

On the back, the four cameras are probably the best you’ll find at this price.

The thing that really draws the Samsung Galaxy A53 back is the slow charging.

Moto G50

One of the cheapest ways to jump into 5G connectivity is with the Moto G50.

Alongside this, it boasts a 90Hz refresh rate, Snapdragon 480 chipset, and decent battery life.

There’s not really much to say that stands out on this phone.

It’s got a decent 6.5-inch display which is let down by the poor 720x1600 resolution.

Everything about the Moto G50 is just okay, but it doesn’t stretch much further than that.

It’s got a decent OLED display, generous storage which is expandable, and a decent 4500mAh battery.

Google Pixel 6 Pro CPU

The Snapdragon 695 CPU combined with 6GB of RAM delivers a smooth experience overall.
