The right balance
8 /10
- Great performance and fast charging
- Good value for money
- Well-balanced smartphone
We are still at the very beginning of the year 2022. To get off to a good start, we suggest that you continue with our monthly report presenting smartphones that have caught our eye the most lately.
Thereby, in December 2021, we still tested several products, but only a handful of them are really worth recommending. This is why, instead of a top 3, we are offering you a top 2 this time. Here are the two best recent smartphones tested on Frandroid and that we can recommend in January 2022.
Realme GT Neo 2 The right balance
8 /10
- Great performance and fast charging
- Good value for money
- Well-balanced smartphone
the Realme GT Neo 2 is a complete smartphone and very satisfactory for the price at which it is sold. Without displaying an ultra low price, it manages to deliver a flawless experience at a reasonable price on the border between the mid-range and the beginning of the high-end. The device mainly relies on its high performance, its very fast charging, its neat and comfortable design, its 120 Hz AMOLED screen and its nifty interface.
It will be necessary to compose in return with a photo part not as versatile as one could have hoped and a lack of IP certification for water resistance. Also remember to calibrate the screen slightly for an optimal viewing experience.
Sony Xperia 5 III The cool format
7 /10
- A pleasant format
- Top performance
- Nice screen
Excellent performance, quality photos, neat 120 Hz screen, comfortable size in hand … Sony Xperia 5 III has several interesting qualities. It is therefore a good smartphone that we take pleasure in using on a daily basis. And finally, we especially regret the official price a little too high, because this is really where the shoe pinches. At 150 or 200 euros less, the phone would have been much more attractive.
To take advantage of this smartphone and its pretty advantages, you also need to know some faults such as slow charging or PRO applications for photos and videos which lack clarity.
