iPhone 15 Pro Max review - 4-1
Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
1. Best smartphone overall

Apple's newest Pro is full of promise and subtle, but meaningful upgrades

As all-round smartphone experiences go, it's hard to top the biggest, most expensive iPhone. It's got a fantastic - albeit a little complicated - camera system with a great zoom, the build and premium design are stunning, as is the display. All with really smooth, fast performance.

Pros
  • Beautiful, premium build
  • Performance is really smooth and fast
  • Excellent camera system with excellent 5x zoom
  • Action Button is very useful
Cons
  • Pricey
  • Camera can be a little overcomplicated

The iPhone 15 series launched in the latter half of 2023 and - among them - as the absolute beast that is the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple has shaved a good chunk of weight off of its ultra-premium device by switching to titanium (instead of steel), but has given the biggest, most expensive model all the bells and whistles too.

The camera trio is fantastic, delivering superb, detailed and colour-rich results, added to further by the new 5x zoom camera which extends the focal length range further than before. It's fast, has a superb display, and the Action Button is surprisingly useful.

The thing that always gets us about the Pro range is how effortlessly it achieves tasks, even if that means running the most demanding games or - even - recording video at really high bitrates in ProRes LOG in the camera. It's the most capable, most powerful and best-made iPhone on the market.

Pros
  • AI-powered photo and video edits are unreal
  • Great software experience
  • Fantastic camera system
  • 7-year commitment to software updates
  • Wonderful display
Cons
  • Android 14 doesn't change much
  • Battery life is nothing special

The Pixel 8 Pro is an absolute top-tier Android phone, delivering some incredible AI-powered photography and video skills in a package that we think still has the best cameras on the market. It also has a really great display that's big, bright, colour-rich and smooth.

Android 14 - out of the box - doesn't offer as many visual, big changes over Android 13, but the commitment by Google to offer 7 years of updates on the Pixel 8 Pro is market-leading.

When you combine that with the attractive design and the promise of regular Pixel Drop software updates delivering fun new features every few months, you're getting a brilliant Android device. And you get all of this just about on the right side of $1000.

3. Best camera phone

The pinnacle of Android phones

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is the biggest, baddest, and most expensive of the S-series flagships in 2023. With a huge 6.8-inch, 120Hz-capable display, a 5,000mAh battery, a brand new 200MP camera, and an included S Pen, the S23 Ultra isn't a massive upgrade over its S22 Ultra predecessor, but the improved efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC will give it a significant battery boost — perfect for gaming or working on the go.

Pros
  • Stunning large display
  • Great design with IP68 water/dust resistant
  • Really versatile camera system
  • S Pen included
Cons
  • It's expensive
  • Lots of software bloat

As far as raw power and software capabilities go, Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra is the pinnacle of Android phones. It's certainly more of a refinement than a reinvention, but it's a heck of a refinement, offering stunning build quality and a gorgeous, large display with fast, smooth refresh rates and support for the S Pen (which is included in the package).

OneUI software adds a lot on top of the standard Android package, delivering lots of potentially very useful features to the phone, but also means the phone comes with a huge amount of bloatware and pre-installed duplicate/redundant apps.

We love nearly everything about the Ultra though. It's a great-looking device, with high levels of water and dust resistance and wireless charging thrown in for fun. It delivers pretty much everything you could want from a phone, and it'd be higher up the list if it wasn't so expensive.

4. Best everyday phone

iPhone finally adopted USB-C charging, and it's glorious

The Apple iPhone 15 Plus delivers brilliance in a number of areas. There's a familiar but fresh design, new colours, and an absolutely delightful new matte and contoured finish. Dynamic Island delivers a different experience for this regular marvel. Add to that the upgrade in processor, huge upgrades in the camera experience and a superb battery life, and you really do have a fantastic everyday device overall in the iPhone 15 Plus.

Pros

  • No always-on display

The everyday phone is one that has reliable, consistent performance, great battery life and good cameras, all delivered in a package that gets things done without much effort or fuss. That's the iPhone 15 Plus to a tee. It's big, has superb battery life and flagship levels of performance all wrapped up in a great-looking chassis with stunning pastel colours to choose from.

Like the iPhone 15 Pro, it's got Dynamic Island, MagSafe wireless charging, and launches running iOS 17. Although it could be better - by adding an Always-On display and 120Hz refresh rates - it still delivers a fantastic experience. It's the phone to get if you can't justify the cost of the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Pros
  • Stunning QHD display with fast refresh rates
  • Bloat-free software with lots of customisation
  • Fast performance
  • Really quick battery refills
Cons
  • No wireless charging
  • Water proofing and durability not the greatest

With the OnePlus 11, the company took a short step back to focus on what really matters in the OnePlus phone. Rather than try to pack in absolutely everything - Samsung-style - it opted to give us the best of the most important things: performance and display. In those two areas, in particular, the OnePlus 11 absolutely delivers. It's got one of the nicest displays on the market, is super speedy and responsive, and features the signature customisable software we've come to expect from OnePlus. Although, in its current form, it's a slightly tweaked version of the Oppo ColorOS 13 software.

OnePlus also saw fit to implement really fast wired charging, including the power adapter in the box with 100W SuperVOOC rates to give you a full refill from 1-100 per cent in under 25 minutes, which isn't bad at all given the 5000mAh battery capacity. Cameras are decent enough too, although arguably still the one area it doesn't quite compete with Samsung or Google.

In the end, though, when you're paying this little for a proper flagship phone, there are always going to be areas it won't match up to its big-name competition. In this instance, we think it's a compromise worth making.

6. Best fast-charging phone

A non-Google or Apple Pro that deserves more attention for it's overall smooth performance and feel

The Xiaomi 13 Pro is a powerful flagship phone with one of the best primary cameras we've ever seen in a smartphone. Combined with a luxury ceramic back, a 19 minute full charge and a stunning display, it makes for a great device.

Pros
  • Stupendously quick battery charging speeds
  • Primary 1-inch camera sensor delivers great images
  • Big, bright QHD+ 120Hz display
  • Fast, responsive performance
Cons
  • MIUI introduces unnecessary obstacles in software experience
  • Ultrawide and telephoto cameras aren't as strong as primary
  • It's expensive

With the Xiaomi 13 Pro, the smartphone maker has delivered something of a diamond in the smartphone market. It's got the brightest QHD+ resolution display we've seen in a smartphone, delivers exceptional speed and fluidity and has the fastest wired charging currently available through a single port. With its 100W wired charger you can get a full charge from empty in just 19 minutes. When you combine those elements with a device built from ceramic, you get a premium, luxury experience.

The camera experience really makes this phone though, with the 1-inch sensor delivering images with great low-light performance, strong details and realistic textures. If the ultrawide and telephoto lens were as strong, it would be better, and the MIUI software experience introduces some very unnecessarily unintuitive elements to the interface. It can be tamed, thankfully, but it takes a little work. The expensive price tag can't be overlooked either.

Still, its foibles didn't stop us from genuinely enjoying using the phone and wanting to keep going back to it. If only because of the speedy refills and the tools available in the camera.

Pros
  • Top notch performance in compact form
  • Sturdy and durable build with grippy texture
  • Clean Pixel-like software
  • Great primary camera with excellent stabilisation
Cons
  • Rear texture won't be to everyone's taste
  • Ultrawide camera could be better

If you're after a phone that has all the best flagship traits, but delivers it in a compact phone that's easy to hold in one hand, the Asus ZenFone 10 is the one. Its size and fuss-free approach to software means it's a device that slots comfortably into everyday life, and it doesn't have many of the caveats you typically find with smaller devices. There's no "but the battery's rubbish" or "but it's not very powerful" or even "it hasn't got a very good display".

It offers everything you'd want from a top-tier device, but in a phone that's smaller than the norm, and that gives it an edge over the larger devices if you find them uncomfortable to hold or use.

The main camera is excellent and features really effective stabilisation, and even has a design and texture that makes it hard to slip out of your hand or off of your furniture. Plus, it costs less than the Galaxy S23, which has similar specs, but with slightly more high-end build and material choices.

Pros
  • Fast, consistent performance for long periods
  • Big, bright and colourful display
  • The best smartphone speakers around
  • Long battery life
Cons
  • Big and heavy device
  • Expensive
  • Second and third cameras aren't great

Gaming phones have historically been something of a niche product, but with the ROG Phone 7, Asus has improved an already winning formula. So much so, that we'd recommend it to anyone whose main priority is a great media and gaming experience.

The loudspeakers on either side of the display are simply the best on any phone currently on the market. Each is individually powered and, combined, they offer loud, well-balanced sound with lots of bass and good stereo separation. Add that to a fantastic, big, bright display, and you can't really go wrong.

It's got lots of power too, delivering fast and lag-free performance regardless of what type of game you want to play on it. With the improved cooling and thermal efficiency, it will deliver that performance for long periods without choking.

There are a couple of downsides though, namely: its hefty build and the hefty price tag that comes with it. It's got one good camera, but the other two aren't really up to scratch from a flagship point of view, but it's been an absolute joy to use.

  • Durable and water-resistant build
  • Larger outer display makes it cover screen much more useful
  • Wireless charging
Cons
  • Questions remain over flexible display longevity
  • No optical zoom lens
  • Could charge faster

Of all the folding phones on the market, it's the Z Flip 5 which we think delivers the most compelling option for buyers. It's as much a fashion item as it is a piece of tech, thanks to its cute design and plethora of colour and style options. Add to that the solid aluminium frame and IPX8 water resistance, and it's a phone that can last.

Our only long-term concern from a durability standpoint is the internal flexible display. Previous generations have often worn or peeled apart with months of use, and we're yet to see if that's the same for the latest generation.

With the flagship processing power, decent battery life, a vibrant display, lots of customisation in the software, and camera performance, it's a very strong package and one that lets you have your cake and eat it. You can have a folding phone, without suffering any significant compromises on the feature/performance side. Plus, it's not eye-wateringly expensive.

Pros
  • Nice design and build
  • Incredible, bright display
  • Powerful hardware
  • Impressive camera performance
Cons
  • Some design choices will divide opinion
  • 4K video is limited
  • Still some bloat

The Honor Magic 5 Pro shows - more than anything - that Honor is back in the game. Its attempts at challenging the big-name Android manufacturers have resulted in a phone which is hugely powerful, has a stunning display and three great cameras that perform well across the board.

With its huge camera island on the back, and top-heavy feel, the design will certainly divide opinion as will the slightly heavy-handed approach to software and bloat, but the Honor Magic 5 Pro gets a lot more right than it gets wrong.

Given its specs and capabilities, the price puts it comfortably under what similar big-name devices, making it great value for money especially when you consider the fact Honor will give you three major Android updates and up to five years of security patches.

The bottom line: What is the best phone to buy right now?

Due to its big, bold, and beautiful display, the best phone we've tested is none other than Apple's latest and greatest plus-sized Pro, the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Editor's Choice

Apple's newest Pro is full of promise and subtle, but meaningful upgrades

As all-round smartphone experiences go, it's hard to top the biggest, most expensive iPhone. It's got a fantastic - albeit a little complicated - camera system with a great zoom, the build and premium design are stunning, as is the display. All with really smooth, fast performance.

How to choose: What smartphone is best for me?

When looking for a new flagship phone, there's a lot to consider. Below, then, we'll have some advice on what you should be looking for in each of the key hardware areas, as well as whether an iPhone or Android phone is right for you.

An Android or Apple iOS: Android's big advantage over Apple is the wide variety of options. There's a greater range of manufacturers, meaning many different price points and designs, but all with the familiarity of the underlying Android software, so there's no real learning curve when it comes to using it.

Android manufacturers are often more aggressive with new technologies, pushing new camera features in advance of Apple, but often only keep a design for one year, before releasing a new and different model. Android also isn't as consistent with software support.

Although most devices will get two or three versions of Android, the timescales are never as tight as they are for Apple - but prices do fall faster, so good deals on newer models are frequently available.

Displays and sizes: The display will define the size of the device you get. Larger displays are great for consuming content, ideal for watching TV or movies and often preferred by gamers.

But larger displays mean a bulkier phone - and you might find it's just not as practical to use. Many manufacturers, however, make the biggest phone their best phone.

Not all flagship devices offer top resolutions of Quad HD or 4K, with some sticking to an ample resolution, like 1080p. That's fine, though, as you have to look closely to see the difference in detail. What's more important is display quality.

With most flagship phones offering an OLED display, there aren't huge differences, but some offer curved edges which can make a larger phone easier to use.

What's emerged as a more attractive option recently is the refresh rate. Top phones are now pushing 120Hz in an attempt to make all content look smoother. It's not just about gaming, it's about supporting scrolling in apps and home screens, too.

Core hardware and storage: Flagship phones will typically have the latest hardware in them. While Apple offers its own hardware, Android chooses from a range of suppliers - but many offer Qualcomm. Samsung will use Exynos and Qualcomm, and some might range into MediaTek - although this is usually reserved for mid-range or entry-level devices.

Storage is important, too. Low storage will bring the price down, but fewer and fewer manufacturers are offering microSD card expansion these days. That means you need to buy a device with enough storage - considering that the option of 4K and now 8K video is using up more storage than ever.

Of course, cloud storage is a lot more integrated these days, but remember that nothing is free - if you want to store a lot of photos, you'll have to pay for it.

Cameras: Cameras are where phones can differ the most, and, often, the camera is the most discussed aspect of any phone. Flagship devices have the best cameras. From Apple to ZTE, top phones have more or better cameras.

The most important thing to consider, however, is a good main camera. If the main camera takes good photos, that means most of your pictures will be good. If you can't get a good normal photo from it, it's no use having lots more cameras that also give you weak photos.

Ultra-wide angle is easy to use and creates great effects, telephoto lenses get you a lot closer - but the quality of telephoto cameras varies significantly.

Periscope lenses are becoming more common, meaning 5x and 10x zoom is now a great option on some models, as well.

But also remember that megapixels don't automatically make a better camera. Many mid-range phones use a high-resolution main camera which results in poor photos. More important is how the images are processed, with AI and computational photography now able to make a huge difference over the core hardware.

There are always a lot of gimmicks, too - pro modes you'll never use, and capture options you'll never bother with. The most important thing remains the point-and-shoot performance, as that's what you'll use most of the time.

Battery life: Flagship phones often aren't the best performers when it comes to battery life. Designed for performance, the aim is to deliver the best experience, not to keep your phone alive for a week.

There will always be phones in the mid-range that perform better - lower power, smaller display, lower resolution or lower brightness - along with a physically larger battery, to outlast flagship phones.

But faster charging means that, with the right charger (which you might have to buy separately), you can get your phone back to full charge in no time at all.

What is the latest iPhone?

The 2023/24 family of Apple's smartphone is the iPhone 15. Like in previous generations, the iPhone has several models to choose from - Plus, standard, Pro or Pro Max - but the experience is fairly similar across all the devices. That's true of older iPhone models, too, with strong support on the software front and consistent use of design for several generations of devices.

Read more: All the things that Apple didn't announce at its September Wonderlust event

That means that if you buy the iPhone 15, for example, you know it's going to be supported for many years. You also know that the hardware features on it aren't going to change drastically the next year, as Apple looks for consistency across its devices.

That also means that buying an older iPhone model remains a good option.

Is it easy to switch from iPhone to Android?

Switching between Android brands is easy - as long as you're backing up to Google - and switching between Apple and Android isn't too hard, either. Sure, there are some Apple services you can't get on an Android phone, like iMessage, but on the whole, most apps are the same.

If you're already embedded within the Apple ecosystem, you'll likely be convinced to stay there, but, it's worth looking at where you save your data and what services you use, as third-party options make switching platforms a lot easier.

You can also check out our guide to Samsung Smart Switch, which lets you easily jump from iPhone, as well as our wider Android v iPhone comparison. Apple on the other hand has Move to iOS, an app that lets you move from Android to iPhone.

If you already know which phone operating system you'll be going with, you may find it easier to zoom in on our best Android phone or best iPhone guides. And if the prices of the picks below are a little steep, you may want to consider checking out a mid-range smartphone or entry-level mobile device.
