Mobile phone reviews you can trust
We've reviewed hundreds of handsets from all the top brands, including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Blackberry and Apple.
We always test a mobile phone’s essential features - sound quality on calls, ease of use and battery life.
And because mobiles are crammed with more and more features these days, our experts assess these too. So we test the cameras in different lighting conditions and analyse the quality of the pictures – which is exactly what we’d do in a fully-fledged digital camera test! And we record and view footage shot on the phone’s camcorders.
We also test the built-in music players, checking the sound quality through the supplied headphones, and look at the performance of each phone’s web browser.
