Tech Advisor90

One of the few worthwhile compact flagships, with excellent speed, battery and charging plus a capable camera system.

A well-rounded compact flagship with a huge battery and strong cameras, easy to recommend although not a big leap over its predecessor and with shorter software support.

Hardware is excellent, with great power, stamina and cameras, but the software is annoying and rivals such as Samsung's compact flagship are lighter and more polished.

A pocketable flagship with few compromises, standing out for huge battery, speed and cameras.
