“Even if you iPhone 12 Pro Max will cost $100 more than its smaller sibling iPhone 12 Pro, offers a few hours longer battery life, a slightly larger display and a 2,5x camera zoom that gets you a little closer to the action than the iPhone 2 Pro's 12x zoom. On the other hand, the Max version is considerably heavier and can be difficult to use with one hand. If bulkier phones don't suit you, we recommend reaching for the iPhone 12 Pro," the magazine wrote. As regards Galaxy The Note Ultra 5G, according to Consumer Reports, may have a screen that's too big for some, but "the S Pen makes it more manageable." The phone also has a "Netflix-worthy display," according to the magazine.

The prize for the best budget smartphone then went to the phone OnePlus North N10 5G, which, however, did not escape criticism due to the lack of support for the microwave band of 5G networks. The best smartphone in the "Best Phone for All-Day Battery Life" category went to another representative of the Chinese manufacturer – the OnePlus Nord N100, which lasts just over two days on a single charge. Phones also performed well in this category Samsung Galaxy A71 (43 hours) and mentioned iPhone 12 Pro Max (41 hours).
