Is the iPhone 16e worth it?
- Released: February 2025
- Smartphone type: Budget
- Screen specs: 6.1” Super Retina XDR Display
This phone is a great option for older generations because it behaves just like a normal Apple iPhone, except it has less features including no Cinematic Mode on camera and lack of camera control depth. Because of this the phone is cheaper, however it still has a lot of recent features including Apple AI. So if you’re looking for a cheap smartphone that still has most of the latest features, the iPhone 16e is a great choice.
Is the Pixel 8a worth buying?
- Released: May 2024
- Smartphone type: Budget
- Screen specs: 6.1” OLED touchscreen.
The Google Pixel 8a is possibly the best choice for an Android budget smartphone. It has an incredible price tag whilst still operating many of the great Google Pixel features like excellent software, gorgeous camera and beautiful colour options. Again, if you’re an Android user in need of a budget device, we recommend the Google Pixel 8a.
Is the Samsung Galaxy S24+ a good phone?
- Released: January 2024
- Smartphone Type: Plus model
- Screen specs: 6.7” dynamic AMOLED 2x
The main difference between this smartphone and the regular S24 is it’s screen size. Whereas the S24 is 6.2” the S24+ is an impressive 6.7”. So if you’re an older user struggling with eyesight and seeing smaller screens, we can’t suggest the plus model more!
Does Z Flip 5 have screen issues?
- Released: August 2023
- Smartphone type: Flip smartphone
- Screen specs: 6.7” (Full) AMOLED 2x
Perhaps you miss the old iconic flip phones from the past? With Samsungs Flip smartphone you can bring the nostalgia back. The Samsung flip models are great as they still provide gorgeous screen quality whilst being able to minimise and maximise in size.
