* BEST Gaming phone
EDITORIAL: Asusâ ROG (Republic of Gamers) phones keep getting better. The 2024 edition refined the already excellent 2023 version and added an improved AeroActive Cooler X Pro. This is an excellent phone with top performance, NTFS storage support, great battery endurance, very bright HDR10 Screen, IP68 protection, gaming triggers, cool mini-LED (85 dot) matrix on the back panel and even decent (if not great) photos from itâs 50MP OIS PDAF main + 13MP ultrawide + 5MP macro lenses.
PROs
top tier SD 8 Elite (UFS4.0) performance, outstanding 2-day battery endurance from the 5800mAh Lithium battery with 45min 65W charging (15W wireless), eye-searing 1900+nits bright 185Hz LTPO AMOLED screen, USB-C ports with Display Port 1.4 and OTG, 3.5mm headphone jack
CONs
227gr big, lack of expandable storage, very short OS update support, no desktop replacement feature (updated Apr 28, 2025)

* TOP Battery Endurance* TOP Selfie* TOP SoftwareMidrange
EDITORIAL: Oppo's midrange Reno phones are known for great battery life and very competent camera setups and Reno 15 is no exception. Oppo decided to save you money by fitting in a huge battery and using a cheaper non-LTPO screen. Cameras cover all basis with a main, telephoto and ultrawide plus an excellent selfie shooter. The last year's SD 7 Gen 4 processor will do the job and don't expect a SD memory expansion (Oppo removed that feature from Reno line last year) but otherwise this is a top-midrange phone if price is right.
PROs
very solid aluminium and glass build, good SnapDragon 7 Gen 4 with UFS 3.1 performance, excellent >42hr endurance from a 6500mAh battery with sub-60min 80W charging, sub-1300nits 460ppi AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, very reliable 50MP 26mm main + 50MP 80mm telephoto (both with OIS PDAF) + 8MP 15mm AF ultrawide, excellent 50MP 18mm AF selfie, 5 years of OS updates, generous retail package that usually includes a charger and a case
CONs
flat side frame is not as comfortable to use, no wireless charging, no SD memory expansion, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (tho it offers OTG)
