1. Sony Xperia XA2: Full, in-depth review
Like most Sony phones. The Xperia XA2 is a good option but it’s not quite the best out there.
Review Date: 25th April, 2018
2. HTC U11 Life review: Stock Android with a so-so camera
The U11 Life is a solid stock Android experience that’s easy to recommend if you can’t stand all the other options or are particularly drawn in by the design and waterproofing.

3. Oppo R11s: The iClone you know and love, but not quite the one you deserve
As an alternative to the iPhone 8, the R11s is easy to recommend - the performance is good, the camera rig is nice, it’s got a compelling build quality and slick feel-factor.

4. Nokia 6 (2018) review: Simple. Solid. Supreme.
This handset is a double-down by HMD on everything that worked in the 2017 model combined with a number of key improvements.

5. Nokia 7 Plus review: Predictable and plus-sized
Even if it’s a little predictable, not every purchase needs a twist. Sometimes you want something that works as intended, and the Nokia 7 Plus fits that mold nicely.

6. Huawei Nova 3e: Full, in-depth review
Huawei have packed a ton of value into the Nova 3e. However, they’re not the only brand packing a lot of value into that $200-$400 space anymore - and that leaves the Nova 3e outgunned on a few choice fronts.

7. Oppo R15 Pro review: A compelling mid-tier option with lots of value and few compromises
The R15 Pro sees Oppo bring more of that flagship experience to the sub-$800 smartphone space than ever before to generous effect.
