Huawei Mate 20 Pro

£750 / stuff.tv/Mate20Pro

Huawei bumped its own magnificent P20 Pro off the top spot with another flagship phone that’s left Apple and Samsung scrabbling to catch up. The Mate 20 Pro brings back the triple-lens camera of the P20 Pro, only now it’s got a 20MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a new version of its predecessor’s AI-assisted night mode. It’s the most tech-packed phone in the world, yet battery life is a match for any of its rivals. No contest.

A stunning smartphone that makes the competition look lazy in comparison

This is the gentlest of upgrades on the OnePlus 6. It gains an in-screen fingerprint sensor but loses the headphone jack; its selfie camera and screen are tweaked but the cost nudges up yet again. If only the legit top-end vibe will do, the 6T is still killer value.

Apple iPhone XS from £999 / stuff.tv/iPhoneXS

This is the iPhone X with some new bits crammed in. But there’s enough going on here to make the XS a significantly better phone. Namely, it can take better pictures and there’s more power on tap. It’s fast, smart and full of fun features… and a better deal than the XS Max.

Familiar on the outside, hiding treats on the inside: this is the X but better
