Sony's Xperia 1 III offers a Snapdragon 888 5G platform, improved cameras and a 4K OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. There's a lot to like if you're into photography, video, gaming or media consumption, but battery life could be better.
Realme's 8 Pro offers a 108MP main camera, good battery life, fast charging speed, a nice AMOLED screen and dual SIM support, all for under £300. You'll have to look elsewhere for 5G support though.
Don’t expect much in the way of screen or camera quality from the Moto G50, but you’ll get a capable and long-lasting 5G phone at a good price.
Huawei's Mate X2 is an astounding device, with top specifications, a solid build and an 8-inch inner screen that's simply amazing. But it will command a very high price when launched outside China, and will still be hampered by the absence of Google Mobile Services.
The OnePlus Nord CE 5G offers premium features such as 5G, a 90Hz AMOLED screen, excellent battery life and fast charging at an attractive price, but there are some missing pieces too.
The Moto G100 offers good performance and decent battery life, plus a dock and desktop-mode capability. It's an attractive package, but the mid-range 5G handset market is crowded.
The Nokia X20 offers good battery life, dual SIM support, 5G and a no-frills Android 11 installation, with three years of security updates guaranteed. For all that, it doesn't really do enough to earn a top spot in the competitive mid-range 5G market.
Despite its impressive specifications, including a second screen at the back and 120x digital zoom, Xiaomi's new flagship doesn't beat the Mi 11 on value for money.
Samsung's 6.5-inch Galaxy A52 5G offers a good set of features at an attractive price point, including a 120Hz Super-AMOLED screen, but only two of the four rear cameras really pull their weight.
