* BEST MidrangerMidrange
EDITORIAL: Motorola keeps producing excellent midrange (processor) phones with lovely colors and build, great in-hand feel and non-slip surfaces, top ingress and military standard drop protection, bright screens with Pantene calibrated colors and smooth but powerful OS with all the AI works and DeX equaling desktop replacement functionality. Motorola phones donât sell in all markets so consider yourself lucky if you can get one locally.
PROs
good Mediatec 8350 E processor with UFS4.0 performance, a 2-day Si/C 6000mAh long life battery with a sub-1hr 90W wired charging (15W wireless), >1500nits bright P-OLED HDR10+ screen, maximum (IP69 + Military standard) element and drop protection, good imaging (50MP OIS main + 10MP OIS tele + 12MP ultrawide, all PDAF) back camera and excellent and very stable OS package that includes a powerful desktop replacement software
CONs
no AF on selfie, no SDmemory, just 3 years of OS updates (updated May 16, 2025)

* TOP Selfie* TOP Software
EDITORIAL: The small version of iPhone 16 Pro Max is a technological marvel (with a less-than-a-day battery life). It offers outstanding video recoding, top processor, screen and a camera like iPhone 16 Pro Max but trades battery endurance for a one hand size. The new camera control button may be just a gimmick but some of the Apple AI tricks have arrived at the end of October and help make 2024 iPhones that much better.
PROs
smooth A18 Pro chip performance, >1700nits bright (460ppi) LTPO OLED with Dolby Vision, up to 6m of water submersion, the 16 Pro Max matching camera setup: 48MP main and 12MP tele with OIS and PDAF plus a 48MP PDAF ultrawide, a 12MP OIS PDAF Selfie and up to 6 years of updates of already very mature iOS
CONs
lack of innovation in recent years, disappointing AI effort, barely a day of battery endurance, >90min 45W slow battery charging (25W wireless), lack of expandable storage, no Desktop replacement software
