Samsung Galaxy S21 5G

from 19 000 / samsung.com/za

The Galaxy S21 is an improvement over last year’s snazzy Galaxy S20. While the actual features might not be substantially different, the S21 is faster, snappier and features one of the best cameras we’ve seen. Oh, and Samsung is still the undisputed ruler of phone displays.

iPhone 12

from R13 500 / istore.co.za

The iPhone 12 is still a beast of a device but, since the iPhone 13 was announced at the time of writing, we’re expecting the good old 12 won’t hang onto this spot much longer. But it’s still well worth your time, with a blistering A14 Bionic chipset beating at its heart. In fact, Apple hasn’t been as innovative with its phones as usual, so it might be time to embrace the price drop and reward your patience with one of the best phones to spew forth from the mess that was 2020.

Apple’s best smartphone to date, it’s difficult to see how they could top this

MagSafe Charger

Why bother plugging your phone in to charge when you could just have it stick to a magnet? So much easier.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max

★★★★★ from R23 000 / istore.co.za The best iPhone but even bigger, shinier and unfortunately much more expensive.

stated otherwise unless only handset for are quoted Prices ●

Samsung Galaxy S21+

★★★★★ R22 500 / samsung.com/za The Galaxy S21+ is a great phone but for the higher price, it’s not a significant improvement over the S21.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

★★★★★ R23 000 / samsung.com/za An excellent upgrade overall but that price tag makes our eyes water.

Huawei P40 Pro

★★★★★ R20 500 / loot.co.za Look past the lack of Google apps, and this is a premium device with brilliant power under the hood.

Apple iPhone 12 Mini

★★★★★ from R13 500 / istore.co.za It’s the iPhone 12 but much cuter. It’s no less powerful but it’s still adorable!

Apple iPhone 12 Pro

★★★★★ from R22 500 / istore.co.za Once again, an amazing phone that’s only this low because of that outrageous price.

Samsung Galaxy S20 FE

★★★★★ R11 000 / samsung.com/za Looks like a flagship, very nearly is. But it isn’t quite there yet.
