The back is made of Gorilla Glass 5 and the frame is aluminum with a matte black finish, providing a nice grip-free feel.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro

The Apple iPhone 12 Pro boasts several upgrades over its predecessor. The device features a larger screen with improved durability, powered by a significantly faster chipset that also supports 5G connectivity. Portrait photography has seen an improvement, thanks to enhanced depth mapping provided by the new lidar camera, which enables more precise subject separation and better detail in portrait shots. The iPhone 12 Pro's camera system also includes a wider-angle ultra-wide lens, which now supports night mode for improved low-light performance. The device's selfie camera is capable of capturing detailed images with good contrast and color balance, and it can take high-quality selfies even in low light conditions. When shooting video, the iPhone 12 Pro delivers excellent quality, particularly when using the main or telephoto lenses. However, the ultra-wide lens produces mediocre results, and low-light footage from this camera is especially poor. One notable omission is a charger; users will have to provide their own. Furthermore, the device's display still lags behind in terms of refresh rate and resolution compared to some other smartphones on the market. In comparison to the standard iPhone 12, the Pro model offers two key upgrades: an optical zoom feature that allows for more versatility in camera shots, and a lidar camera that enhances depth mapping. However, the price difference between these models varies depending on the region; while it may be worth paying extra for the upgraded camera system in some markets, others may find the standard iPhone 12 to be the better value proposition. Overall, the Apple iPhone 12 Pro represents an incremental upgrade over its predecessor, offering improved performance and features without a significant price increase. Whether or not these upgrades are worth the investment will depend on individual priorities and needs.

OnePlus 10 Pro

The OnePlus 10 Pro is a new flagship smartphone for 2022, boasting a fresh design and chipset, but also retaining many similarities with its predecessor, the 9 Pro. With a bold square camera bump and sleek matte finish, the device stands out visually, but not necessarily in terms of innovation. The phone features a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, and advanced thermal management, making it a solid choice for gamers. But does it live up to its potential?
