Samsung did very well with the Galaxy S8, and just as well. After the disaster that happened with the Note 7, another huge mistake would be catastrophic for the company. So, Samsung played it safe under the spotlight by continuing the evolution of the S series' design by making one of the most...

Design, Display, User interface, Performance

Moderate battery life, Fingerprint scanner position, Bixby assistant

Samsung has taken the best phone around and made it even better with an impressive Infinity screen and premium design. It ticks a shedload of boxes - as you'd expect from a flagship. It's one of the best phones of 2017, and is nearly half the price of the iPhone X. But the biometrics are a let down. If you want a slightly larger screen and battery, then the S8+ also gets our approval. Though now, the OnePlus 5T offers staunch competition on specs and price.

A truly wonderful phone that you'll want to own, but the fingerprint reader frustrates.

Brilliant display, Blazing fast performance, Bluetooth 5 and dual audio

Rear fingerprint reader placement, Face recognition hit and miss, Bixby needs to differentiate

Still an excellent phone with a great camera, lovely design and a fantastic display. It's not the Samsung flagship anymore, but don't let that put you off.

Awesome display, A phone that feels like the future, Stunning camera, It’s actually innovative

Awfully placed fingerprint sensor, Bixby is a bit of a dud

The large, bezel-less display is truly iconic and beautiful, and the screen quality excellent. The fingerprint scanner being placed on the back is a poor decision from Samsung, as well as the iris scanner / facial recognition not working well enough to be a real consideration.

Amazing, large display, Huge power, Great camera

Irritating biometric unlocking, Very expensive at launch, Bixby pointless

Samsung Galaxy S8: The Samsung Galaxy S8 was the best phone of 2017, but is it still top dog?

Incredible camera, Brilliant display, Sumptuous design

Expensive, Awkward fingerprint reader placement, Battery isn't as good as Galaxy S7

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

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

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

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
