Do you really have to spend big to get stunning smartphone photos?
Xiaomi12TPro
Look, we get it – size isn’t everything. And neither is pixel count. But you can’t deny 200MP is impressive. The 12T Pro’s main cam is leagues ahead of its meagre secondary snappers, capturing incredible detail in all conditions.
The glass and plastic construction betrays the 12T Pro’s more wallet-friendly nature, but the display is gorgeous and it gives up nothing in performance. Battery life is decent, and 120W wired charging brings sub-20min top-ups.
You don’t get any kind of IP rating, and the design is a little lacking in personality – rear logo aside, you’d have a hard time telling the 12T Pro was a Xiaomi. Still, the in-display fingerprint scanner is speedy and the speakers are OK.

HuaweiMate50Pro
It has a periscope lens for 3.5x optical zoom and an ultrawide with macro focus, but the Mate 50 Pro’s main snapper is the standout. Its variable aperture is unique in the phone world, delivering real depth blur and outstanding low-light shots.
While it’s as rapid as any top-tier Android phone doing the rounds right now and has a stunner of an OLED screen, you know the Huawei issue: no Google Play Store access means having to jump through hoops to get the apps you like.
With orange vegan leather, a curved screen made from toughened glass and a bronze frame, the Mate 50 Pro is as luxurious as they come. It’s waterproof, and has wireless charging and even an IR blaster. There’s no 5G data, though.
