Smartphones

In everyday use, smartphones differ mainly in real battery life, photo quality in low light and how long the manufacturer keeps providing updates. Screen size and grip matter too, especially if you often use the phone with one hand. Raw power matters less than people think: most recent models comfortably handle everyday tasks such as messaging, browsing and video.

Price brackets by tier

Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.

Under €250

A decent screen for everyday tasks, but battery life and low light photos stay limited, and software updates stop sooner.

€250 to €600

Battery life holds up better through the day, the screen feels smoother, and night photos improve noticeably, with roomier storage.

Over €600

Screen and camera reach their best level, RAM keeps up with heavier use, and manufacturers commit to updates for far longer.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose a smartphone Two smartphones at the same price can last very different amounts of time or shoot photos with unrelated sensors. Battery life, screen, camera, storage and power together set the real differences between models, well before the design of the case. Read the guide
